one hour left till the clamps come off. I feel like a kid waiting for christmas :)

maybe larger sized versions will, but the material this is made of is really rigid yet flexible, kinda hard to explain. I would have dumped money into a leather bellows for the camera, but you can't...

Hi guys, I've been down for 2 months waiting for a new bellows for my tachihara (seller shipped the wrong one twice) but they finally came today. The bellows is synthetic, small, and tight, but...

What to buy, where to buy it, and how much money to pay. I can't imagine wanting to print larger then 11X14, I shoot 35mm and 4X5 and don't want to spend more money on an enlarger then my camera if...

I picked up a fujinon lens in a supposedly sound shutter (sounds dead on, haven;t bothered to get it tested in person) for $150 in "bargain" condition. glass is _spotless_, no dust or anything....

:confused:

...

or this hypothetical forum could be a place for amateurs to ask questions.

The seller just paid for a new bellows from this ebay chap. Kick ass. Now for a new question with a new thread. Thanks a million guys, as always you are so much help!

Just got a reply from the seller. He suggested he would help compensate the cost of sealing them. I replied that they had to be replaced, and suggested he cover the cost of those wista bellows while...

that wasn't the price, he ended it early for the agreed price of $465US shipped. the wista bellows are about 10mm smaller on the inside, and I it looks as if they would cut into the film frame. Now...

Though any question is always answered here, I simply thought it would be a swell idea to consolidate newbie questions to its own forum to keep the other ones clean of threads most vets wouldn't want...

Nick, those bellows are a good 5cm to wide, though I've been checking this sellers bellows and waiting for a response. If it helps, the dimensions are

front
outside 110 X 110
inside 90 X 90

Howdy/welcome from peterborough ontario :) No advice for you, just thought I would drop a "howdy (sort-of)neighbour"

Wilbur Wong wins the prize; the synthetic material itself is simply giving up on life. I don't think patching these up is worth the trouble, as most of you have already pointed out
...

Okay, so here is the deal. The seller ended the auction early and charged me $465US shipped for the camera, out of sympathy for what I was shooting on (my old crown). tachiharas have been going for...

Oh my, I didn't even check for light leaks as the seller I bought it off of has great feedback and said they were light tight... It turns out that it looks like a clear night sky inside :( Strangely...

When I open the camera, the bellows are literally stuck together and have to peel apart, much like pulling a sweaty body off of a leather couch. In a few areas, this seems to have actually pulled a...

Here is a manual

I've been using my hand + the graflock metal gg light sheild. Doesn't work well :( As crafty a man as I claim to be, I can't believe I didn't think of using a shirt. I am going to have to give this a...

Hi Dunk, I live in Peterborough Ontario Canada. Crazy.

There are many many stupid questions I would love to ask but don't as I don't want to litter the forums with numerous questions. I don't know how many other green members have questions they don't...

I second that. Those were some of the nicest shots I've seen come out of a holga.

That is what I wanted to hear, thanks guys.

Hi, I really can't make sense of this warning. I could understand if the film came sealed in an airtight plastic bag, but it doesn't. I am taking a few rolls of this interior camping next weekend and...

Is there any point in using this, or is 35 years pushing it a bit too far?

If you decide to upgrade, you should sell me your 3200 pinkmoon (at) cogeco (dot) ca

working in the PC industry, I've played with a few flatbed scanners that are capable of handling 35mm slides and negs and the results are anything but satisfactory. I will admit that these are all...

In my pocket at all times lives an olympus xa-2, and it is usually in the company of my olympus om-1. i go through about a roll a week in my xa-2 and a roll or two a week in my om-1

I guess that does make sense. Let me state for the books that I am poor, cheap and love building things.

Hey now, I support making your own camera, I just don't understand why that luxury should cost $300. I thought at first that was just the lomographic society doing what they do best, but even...

that is exactly what I was hoping for. I mounted the lens last night and it does exactly what I wanted it to do, so I guess I lucked out.

thanks for the info guys, the warning on the bottle had me a bit freaked out (wash hands with soap, take off your shirt, get medical attention). I got it all over my hands when I pulled the bottle...

I got some kodak indicator stop bath on my hand thanks to a cracked lid, and aside from a discoloured finger, nothing bad happened. Am I going to drop dead in a few days or something? Just how bad...

Hey guys, I picked up a crusty old 6X9 105mm 6X9 lens for $11 and am just cutting out a lens board for it right now: Has any body else played around with a similar set up? I think the extreme...

My ground glass from this ebay guy just showed up, and I must say it is SOOO much brighter then the cracked glass I pulled from my crown graphic. Like a moron, I didn't 100% accurately measure the...

I am in the same boat as you but I am using b&w, just waiting for the film to arrive then I am good to go. I was originally going to get a roll pack and shoot on 120 so I could get it developed...

Thanks for the many responses. On the state of the bellows, this one puncture wound is the only of its kind, which is half the reason I want to repair it. The other half of the reason is that...

Hello again all. Today my crown graphic arrived in much worse condition then i was hoping for. so here are a few questions I hope you guys have answers to.

1)Bellows are in good shape, but there...

WOW! talk about great news! if my presupposed child were able to appreciate a mechanical slr, I would be the happiest dad ever!


Jeff,

It may be a smaller world yet; I have a pseudo-friend who...

I've been drooling over this for a few months now, slowly buying the required equipment while reading up on the topic religiously, so I think I am pretty well prepared, and taking it slow and easy is...

I hail from a black hole east of Toronto named Peterborough in Ontario. I can't tell you how relieved I am to find such a bustling community of film lovers. by the looks of things, I am the youngest...
