That sounds lucious!
The first and last time I was in NYC, Manhattan near Penn Station, the sidewalks (etc) were so crowded that even handheld photography was challenging. I can't imagine trying to set up a tripod.
That would be really nice for portraits, especially.

Not a bad plan... but in your spare time, if you can find a lot of it, you should really try to repair that aperture. Everyone should do that once... it's a real character building experience. That...
Sorry to hear this and don’t think you are alone. Sometimes the most thoughtful acts can get misconstrued in a marriage. Whatever you do, don’t even think about rearranging the clothes in the closet.
Surprisingly, they did... optional
Like most good mothers would do, Princess Kate took the blame. It pays to read today’s news rather than yesterday’s.
Isn’t this the way it’s always been, and will continue to be in the future?

Shopping around you can get this as inexpensive as $1 (plus nominal shipping charge). Worth its weight in gold for...
Be careful of your assumptions about how press cameras were treated. They were professional tools and generally treated as such since income depended on them. Many were used quite heavily yet many...
As a complete aside, buyers tend to lose negotiating leverage when too many questions are asked and when the decision process takes too long. If it’s a 4x5 and the price is acceptable to you, then it...
That’s a focusing scale, similar to the rangefinder. It’s an alternative but is dependent on being the proper scale for the lens ( like the rangefinder cam).
Look on the bed for the little things...
Basically, yes. Infinity on Graphics is set by extension of lens-board on the bed and if referenced by infinity stops. The infinity stops are adjustable. Infinity is an object long way away. The...
Difficulty is difficult to really address as it depends a lot on the skills and incentive of the repair person.
I’d start at the beginning by verifying that the camera is complete and has correct...
With many flms and photogaphic situations you'll barely notice the "error" if you don't compensate. But averaging to a half-stop compensation on all speeds except your fastest is easy to remember and...
It would be a lot easier to compensate using the aperture than changing the shutter speed scale. Or compensate via EI on a light meter.
Better, or more? :)
If the broken end doesn't bother you (it wouldn't bother me), I'd just send the shutter for an overhaul and if the repair shop just happens to have a replacement part then that would be an additional...
Or, perhaps, this type of camera is being referenced. I’m not convinced, though, that it had a reflex mirror, though. My impression is that the doors on top were just for loading/unloading the plate....
Put a lens hood on it and see if you can discern any significant effects of the scratches. In most cases probably not.
How exact do you want to get? I find being with 1/3 stop to be quite acceptable.
“So with a standard incident meter (say 30 degrees), you will get an average reading of most of your scene usually. In many cases this will be pretty far off, but it will depend on your subject and...

That’s a good one. There are also some exceptionally good tutorials offered by the meter manufacturers.
… apparently nobody read the instructions that came with the Kodak gray card.
EDIT: This is, perhaps, the best demonstration of the effect of gray card angle I’ve ever seen. See post 3:

@sharktooth makes a great point. There are many better ways to learn basic photography exposure concepts than Ansel’s writings. His works are best understood after the basics are well understood.
I’m struggling a bit trying to understand what you think are contradictions. Would you please elaborate? And references would be helpful for anyone who wants to review the context and help you...
If everything else works reasonably well it could be signs of a rather minor issue: the shutter might just need a routine maintenance, what some folks like to call a CLA.

You may want to consider the possibility that the shutter making the intermittent sound might benefit from an overhaul.
If I'm not mistaken, the buzzing sound is the slow speed escapement getting manipulated when you are charging the shutter. It's not clear to me that charging while shutter is open is a problem, per...
And the opposite, too. After having bad business dealings with a few "5-star rated" companies that weren't as good as the reviews purport, I'm skeptical of many reviews and review sites. Even BBB is...
Interesting assistant. Does she ever do much more than stand there looking cute? :)
I’ve got just the camera for you. Actually, all you need is one of my M42 lenses!
Great topic! For me it is a 1930’s era Kodak Duo 620. The one I got off of eBay was inexpensive but beat up and reeked of WD-40!in the shutter. Once it was aired out and the smell dissipated, it has...
An innocent and valid question
Thread spinning out of control
Par for the course.
Trying not to overthink this, but what paper did you try it on? The “intended use” on paper is book jackets, I believe, which are often either varnished paper or heavily printed… essentially a...
It’s a good product but isn’t it ironic that Renaissance
