Hi All,

Is anyone familiar with this film? I can't seem to find any real information on this film: Du Pont "Graphic Arts Film" Orthochromatic Newspaper film, Custome Lateral N-IID, I'm guessing...

Thanks all appreciate the knowledge! Oren great link thank you! Just what I couldn't find in my searching :)

Hi All,

I recently picked up some Tasma Foto-64 that is 13x18cm and in actuality, the width is 128mm which is just a hair larger than the 5x7 film holders I have, so I'm wondering
if there are...

Great stuff there thanks! Knew it was old just didn't expect it to be that old :)

Hi All,

Have a shutter with a C.P. Goerz Berlin Dopp - Anastigmat Serie iii Dagor 120mm f/6.8, hoping the lens is good but my question is really around the Ernemann shutter and if anyone can id...

Argh! Well trouble shooting would help if I were actually looking at the right back! I realized this morning the images I developed were from my 5x7 with no front tilt before I swapped the bellows to...

Thanks, black paint on order ... hope it solves the problem, I really dig the Agfa's

Hi All,

I think I'm going to be stuck on this one but thought I'd ask anyway: After fixing some light leaks and getting some new images I discovered a rectangle in the middle of the image (shot...

Probably a little late to this but and I use the sp8x10 tray as well with 5x7 so far so good after a few initial hiccups. What brings me to comment though is to suggest a possible light leak? I...

Thanks that spotted it!

Seems a pretty egregious leak! All across the top of the front bellows frame mating to the front standard and finding this in a normal light room (using the flashlight), I...

Hi Everyone,

Any pointers on techniques to discover where this band might be coming from?

So far, I have seen it happen with multiple lenses, multiple holders, vertical and horizontal back...

Normally I fill the tank and start agitation for the first 60 seconds then tap before and after each agitation after that which is why I'm leaning toward the air bubbles. I'll have to work that...

Thanks everyone, I'm hedging toward the air bubbles/bells. I use distilled water for the chemicals. Could some film types or brands be more susceptible to trapping air than others? This was my...

Hey All,

Using SP-445 tank and no issues to date until I experimented with some Rollei RXP iso25 developed in Adox Adonal. The exposures were so so but of real interest are these very circular...

Thanks for all the great responses everyone! Looks like I have a little bit of discovery and work to do.

Hi All,

Looking for some help/advice in determining how critical the height of the ground glass is on the holder.

I know, I know it is critical, I get that seeing how it is where the film plane...

The screws, tabs and washers are brass but the screws and tabs have a blackened look to them. Not the normal discolored varnish like on the bar above but maybe painted or a black varnish over the...

Hi All,

I was lucky enough to nab a Agfa-Ansco 5x7 Universal with a packard shutter even on ebay and am in the process of restoring it. Being fairly new I guess I have a pretty dumb question. I...

Thanks all, appreciate the info!

Hi Everyone

Looking for some background on a R.B. Cycle Graphic flatbed camera I just picked up. From what I've found it's a 6.5" x 8.5" and I believe it dates to between 1923-1927 based on wiki...

Hey Jim_jm, Whir-Click

So I noticed that the diameter of the rear element is actually larger than the front element.

Front Lens: 45.56mm
Rear Lens: 45.58mm
Rear Barrel: 48.19mm

I have a...

Hey Jim_jm, thanks that helps a ton! I'll have to start trolling ebay for an optimo :)

Thanks! I sure do still need the measurements and photo would be great. I originally reached out to alphaxbetax.com, great guy and great site, through him I learned I was missing the barrel and he...

Hi Everyone

Granted I'm new to all this and not sure of all the correct terminology so hope everyone can bare with me.

I picked up a Wollensak Velostigmat 7inch 4.5 lens set but as I come to...
