Bill works best via telephone. I'd give him a call. Set aside enough time, as the call is likely to last awhile.

I wish I could go get it....but it's just too far at the moment. If anyone from the Midwest is going to NC and is willing to get it a bit closer, I'd be very grateful. Currently, it's 802 miles...
That sounds like a great option, Ari! Please send me some pictures when you get them.
Great job, Bernice!
Thank you, Christopher. It was a very sunny day. Your photo has an interesting contrast of moods.

Thanks. No snow. The background is mainly out-of-focus blossoms.

Now I feel like a slacker ;)
Wait, Bryan, when did you get a 2nd one?
Thanks for the correction!
I can see an 18" Verito from where I'm sitting, and I used a 2D for years. Do not use one on a 2D without providing auxiliary support. The front standard of a 2D is not up to the task. That said,...
I thought the Elite had two bulbs total.
I prefer Purosol to ROR. I have both.
I used mine the other day, but I haven't gotten around to scanning the film.

Their lens cleaner works the best of any I've tried.
Ari, I look forward to hearing how this lens works out for you.
Chrism, welcome back! Here's to your health!

I like Raptars, too. I have a 240. The problem, and the problem with Ilex lenses, are the shutters. I'm just not a fan. I prefer how modern Copal, Compur and Prontor shutters work. For instance,...
I have a 300 Fuji L. I like it, but it's not like I've done a bunch of comparisons.
Looking at your comments, I'd also check out an Ilex Paragon. I haven't had a 300, but I've had a couple...
Love that one, Randy!

Is pla's hydroscopicity a problem?
Decide what's most important. Make that sharp. Lot's of people get stuck on having everything in focus. It doesn't have to be, but if it absolutely has to be in the given situation, then take two...
These are subtractive filters. Using them lessens the amount of light. Usually, when scanning, you want as much light as you can get. So, unless one has a really good reason, it's better to use...
Great job!
Yeah, I've tried to set aside the time to learn a good 3d modeling/design program, but the learning curve is really steep. Sometime....
That's a great looking stand.
Good work, Jim!
When I look back on my large format technique, I often use front rise and a very small amount of tilt, and that's about it. Sure, there are exceptions.

Well done, John!
Yes, my camera has the same issues. I'm sure it could be fixed. I have everything but the tilting lens boards, and that wouldn't be hard to make.
Nice work!
Bob Watkins has had my Fuji GSW690III for over a year and a half. He apparently refuses to send it back, and he won't answer email. An associate occasionally answers emails, but nothing he's...
I would get any multicoated 210 in good condition from any of the major manufacturers. Personally, I have a Fuji.
When you say: "Kreuznach TECHNIKA" I expect that means a Linhof select...
I have one. Mine needs a refurbishment. Note that the tilting lens board, which I don't have, is the only direct way to get front tilt. The camera is more deluxe than, say, a 2D. Yes, it's...
Wow, Jim. I didn't know that 16x20s were a portrait camera size.
You can also look for a used Velmex unislide.
