Steve,

Thank you for the reply, I do appreciate it. I took it apart and unfortunately there is no mark or markings on the side of the lenses. I have a funny feeling it may be a 5D portrait lens,...

Hi everyone,
I just picked this lens up this weekend while browsing through a huge open air flea market. It wasn't on display. I was explaining to the vendor that his price for a particular camera...

I recently was lucky enough to find this on Craigslist. I could not pass it up since it came with an Emil Busch No. 2 Ser. D f/8 lens in excellent condition. I posted a before an after of the camera...

Sorry, I forgot the link! Here it is: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ficionado/sets/72157646953757683/

I can only imagine. I will keep an eye out for one and let you know what i come up with. I've seen at least 4 or 5 in the last couple of years since I purchased mine. I just uploaded a copy of the...

Hi Randy, your right, i never uploaded those pictures. I just created an album titled, "FOLMER GRAFLEX STAND" on my FLICKR page so you can check out the stand. I also included a photocopy of the...

Hi! I figured i should reply to this since that's the semi-centennial stand I restored.
My advice don't give up searching for one. I looked around (I was diligent) for the better part of two (2)...

Nice article on the "The World’s Largest Photo, Taken with the World’s Largest Camera" here is the link:

Hi Garrett, Thank you! I feel I was very fortunate and lucky! Yes, its on the rear. I really appreciate the information, it helps in a big way. I just want to clean the elements and use it to see...

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the information. I had no idea they would do that. Iy's logical I guess if they did it for telescopes, they would also do it for lenses.

Hi everyone, I am posting this thread in the hope that someone out there may be able to help me identify this particular C.C. Harrison Peztval type lens but more importantly, some markings (roman...

Randy, Wow! Your weren't kidding around. She looks absolutely beautiful! The bellows look fantastic in this picture, I can only imagine in person! Great job! I can't wait to see what you produce with...

Oh my that is so funny! As you can tell from the pictures I posted, they were taken outside of my garage where the stand resides as well. It really is a big stand. I have a sun room where most of my...

Wow! That is going to be amazing. I can only imagine your anticipation for it to arrive. I am trying to imagine that. My 8x10 is just hitting 6 feet with the three sections and its big. Red would...

Well I don't see myself keeping this Folmer stand. Its big! Really big. I was thinking of taking the home made additional wooden support brackets the previous user put on it off, cleaning up the...

This is beautiful! Wow! It's always a pleasure to be inspired!

Hi and sorry, but I am a little confused by your question regarding making it stick to the wall. It does look like it is on the wall but it's actually on a Century No. 1A stand. I rarely use the...

My Zone VI 4x5 Field Camera, My Toyo 45G and my Deardorff 8x10 Commercial Series Studio Camera SC10.108988108989108990108991

I sincerely appreciate the feedback from everyone. I would have been happy with just one lens that was decent enough to experiment with, but it seems I have at least a couple which is more than I...

This is great information. I really appreciate this attachment. Thank you.

Thanks. Which Dagor would it mostly resemble? I read its similar to a Syntor Anastigmat. Someone else tells me it resemble a Dagor Double anastigmat. From what I read, I would say its closer to a...

Thank you. That is all I can ask for is someones honest opinion. I do plan on shooting a few sheets with each lens for the pure fun of it and see what develops. I actually hope I like what I see...

Here are the other pictures of the lenses:

I received a few lenses from a a neighbor of mine who knows I am into photography. He got them from a friend who was clearing up a family home before being sold. I would appreciate any fee back on...

I agree. In fact, there is nothing on his website that shows how he goes about his process. He is very market savvy though, I guess that comes from doing all that work with HD, Gap and Nike. I felt...

Hi all,

I thought I would post this link to photographer Dennis Manarchy's new project. This is really amazing. It has to be (as far as I know) the largest camera ever built and the focus of the...

Thanks Louis. I saw the same information but was confused because of the No. 33. I have a No. 33 Anastigmat, but when I got this one, it does not have the no. 33 anywhere on the lens itself which...

Oh my! I am literally drooling right now. I just saw one sell on the bay. I love this camera. So beautiful. I could stare at her all day! Thanks for posting this.

That of course depends on the version your using. If using the current version 5, it reallis all you need and can handle (at least from my experience) large scans of 8x10 negatives. Larger than that,...

I have both Adobe CS6, Adobe Elements 11 and Lightroom 5 and have had almost every version prior to these. When Lightroom came out, I found myself using it more and more than I use CS6 or Elements....

Hi everyone,
I wanted to reach out to everyone out there to see if you can identify and provide any reference to this recently acquired lens. I have tried for a number of days to research and find...

I purchased a huge lot of 4x5 and 8x10 negatives and scanned them a couple of years ago. here are some of them.94624

Otto,
Would a Toyo CX work as well also. I will have to do research on the different types of Toyo 4x5 I am seeing in the marketplace. The seller for the Toyo G I found is MIA all of a sudden. I...

I started looking after your first reply on the Toyo G and found this one on Craigslist in Bklyn. I've already communicated with the seller and he is asking $250.00 for the camera. I am going to try...

Thanks. Yes, I keep reading that its an expensive lens, but to be honest there doesn't seem to be a consistent price range, it seems that the value of this lens is pretty wacky. I've read some value...

Thanks. Yes, my initial gut, after reading some of the comments here, told me if I had to sell any of the lenses, these two would be the first to go which would allow me some extra cash to spend on...

Thank you. That might not be a bad idea, I wouldn't mind buying another camera for portrait's only, more so if I can pick it up for $200.00 or less. I think that would be the most cost effective way...

Thanks! But isn't this shutter to big to fit a 4x5 (forgive my lack of knowledge if its a dumb question)? I'm trying to research what I would need to do in order to fit this lens on my 4x5.

Thank you. One thing I am definitely sure about is that I wish to concentrate on Portraits and landscapes with Portraits being my overall preference for the time being. I like this Heliar, its a...

Thank you. Yes, I agree on the Schneider Symmars being excellent all around lenses and have contemplated the 90mm Super Angulon, but I am caught between that and the Nikkor 90mm f8 also after reading...
