  1. Anything special I need to know to open the back shutter on Anniversary SG 45?

    So I just got an Anniversary SG 45. The shutter runs fine at high tension (probably needs adjusted, I haven't put film through it) but at low tension (just on "1" and "2") it doesn't want to fire on...
  2. Missing latch on Anniversary Graphic 45 GG hood -- pics?

    So I just managed to snag a working Anniversary Speed Graphic 45. The only thing wrong with it, other than the fact that the rear bed racks had jumped their grooves and were flopping about in the...

    Re: LED enlarger head creation -- just a thought

    I have never seen an Omega, but looking at my Beseler it seems possible on this model. I would even consider it possible on mine to replace the bayonet socket inside the top cap with an LED array....

    Re: Adaptor for Kodak AG 9x12cm to 4x5?

    Yeah, I mean producing a 9x12 image on 4x5, since the film gate on the normal holder is narrower than a 4x5 sheet, but somewhat longer (to accommodate the springloaded clips that hold either a plate...

    Re: Adaptor for Kodak AG 9x12cm to 4x5?

    Yeah, I was being dumb for a second. 120 has a typical frame height of 2 1/4, not 3 1/4".

    Re: Adaptor for Kodak AG 9x12cm to 4x5?

    Yes, see, that's exactly what I want. It would be such a compact and efficient little 4x5 handheld, but with the awkward, hard-to-slide holders and GG , it'd be literally impossible to use handheld...

    Adaptor for Kodak AG 9x12cm to 4x5?

    So I have a Recomar 33 in great shape. It has perfect bellows and a fully working Compur shutter with Xenar 135mm. It's great but nearly unusable to me since I have to cut 4x5 film down for it in the...

    Re: Is it worth it to buy this Beseler enlarger?

    Post script to this thread:

    I went back and it was a 23C II (not XL), which is not a true large format enlarger, so I won't discuss it at any length here. I did manage to secure a discount,...

    Re: Exact Full Plate Image Dimensions?

    I'd assume with the age of the format that it would vary from camera to camera. Hell, the precise dimensions of the film gate might actually vary within the same model of camera. I'm assuming you...

    Re: Is it worth it to buy this Beseler enlarger?

    It's a Soviet Industar 135mm... I forget the exact name of the lens but it was the most common enlarger lens in Russia and Ukraine back in the day... or so I've been told. It's in mint condition and...
  13. Re: Does anyone know a cheap send-away place that can do a very basic CLA on a Wollen

    I mean, that's really my business.

    Anyways, the Xenar/Compur I have is unsychronized, so I would need to to do solenoid to synch an electronic flash too.

    Also, as few flash pictures as I take...

    Re: Is it worth it to buy this Beseler enlarger?

    No lens, but somebody threw in an enlarger lens (LTM) with a camera I bought. The enlarger appears to take an LTM lens.
  16. Re: Does anyone know a cheap send-away place that can do a very basic CLA on a Wollen

    Ah, well, I have poor eyes for my age (astigmatism with double vision) and I am terminally clumsy. You know how on 35mm you're not supposed to shoot handheld below, say, 1/60th for a 50mm lens,...
  17. Re: Does anyone know a cheap send-away place that can do a very basic CLA on a Wollen

    The only one in my city is about 85 and is essentially retired. She's nice but she's probably forgotten how to do it. Sending it away looks like my only option.
  18. Re: Does anyone know a cheap send-away place that can do a very basic CLA on a Wollen

    It does perilously approach minimum wage, doesn't it? Eh, maybe I can save up for a couple of months and go higher. Do you have someone you use regularly?
  19. Re: Does anyone know a cheap send-away place that can do a very basic CLA on a Wollen

    I've looked into it, but I... I can't. I've ruined a shutter before. Thankfully it was just a little tiny Compur on a Certo Dollina 2 35mm folding rangefinder, but I don't think I will trust myself...
  20. Does anyone know a cheap send-away place that can do a very basic CLA on a Wollensak

    Hey, so I've mentioned in the past that the front shutter (standard Wollensak-made "Graphex" in an Optar 135mm) on my Pacemaker Speed Graphic is gummy--as in, the slow speeds don't work at all, the...
  21. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    Oh, I'll certainly get around to it. A working front shutter will probably be the prerequisite... I come to realize that this is going to take more precise exposures than I can manage using the time...
  22. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    Guys, I'm sorry I started this. Obviously whether done hybrid or not, it's a difficult process to pull off that requires thoughtful preparation as well as some real time spent experimenting with...

    Re: Is it worth it to buy this Beseler enlarger?

    I definitely think it can do 4x5"--while it doesn't have a carrier for 4x5" the opening is definitely large enough.

    Pics probably Monday.
  26. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    Well, thank you for the advice. I haven't used TMX100 in 4x5" size yet. Certainly I won't try this with Shanghai 100!
  27. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    Oh, I certainly wasn't drawing any inference that you were discouraging me! What you said is definitely a good idea for anyone looking to try it who has a DSLR.

    Re: Is it worth it to buy this Beseler enlarger?

    I looked those up and they show similarities but look much newer. This is definitively a solidly antique piece of hardware.
  29. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    For me personally, I don't own a DSLR or really any digital camera except my phone. I don't mind devoting a few B/W sheets and the chemicals to develop them, though. From everything I've seen I...
  30. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    I have the Cokin holder, but did they even make a mount that'll attach the holder to the Optar's (*googles it frantically*) 38mm filter threads?
  31. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    Oh, yes, unless I decide to invest in that enlarger, I am pretty much just hybrid.

  36. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    I've looked at them for the general convenience of shooting faster, and I don't think I'll go that route. First off, they're very expensive (for my budget) on the used market in good shape, and...

    Is it worth it to buy this Beseler enlarger?
