IMO, it is doubtful that you will find "new" replacement screws in the size you need. You might have better luck finding your exact screws at a camera repair shop, one that has been around for a long...

The item you show is for the Dual Dichro color head for the 23C enlarger lamp house. The term "Intergrator" has several uses. One definition of intergrator is a diffuser, some color analyzers work...
It has been 20 something years since I have bought Kodak sheet film, it is nice to see they have updated things. Does anyone know when they started doing the edge imprinting?
I just looked at my Tmax 4x5 negs from 2001---no edge markings--- there are notch codes, which most sheet films have, but no lettering of any kind. Can you show a sample of your sheet negs with the...
What size film are we talking about here? To my knowledge, sheet film doesn't have edge rebate lettering, at least the Tmax 100 that I have used in the distant past and you do state that you exposed...
Tape, gaffer tape, painters tape, any kind of tape that does not leave any residue/stickiness.
I would suggest that you go to Midwest Photo and/or World of Photography in Columbus. Be sure to take your lens with you. They can help you.
I found this person/company. (http://www.camera-service.ch/en/index.html). Maybe they can help. RB

I believe the fitting is call a bi-post. Paramount might have a flash cord in that fitting but it depends on what type of flash you want to use. Most bi-post cords go to what is called a household...
I suggest that you find a proper repair technician. Synchro shutters are very complex and delicate. It takes a lot of experience to determine what is wrong and even more experience on how to properly...
I can see your problem. I have often thought of getting a small digital scale for measuring less than 1 gram but ran into the problem of how do I calibrate the scale for 1/2 gram. Since I have a rare...
Pictures would help, both of your lens and the adapter. The adapter has a specific mounting size, either screw in or push on. The adapter is the holder for the series 8 filters, the adapters come in...
The pink stuff looks like thread lock, rare on LF shutters but sometimes applied to keep things from becoming loose. In picture #2, is the rear component still attached to the shutter and if it is,...
Not near enough time, either cut your list in half or add another month. Plus add several thousand dollars to the budget, gas is and will be even more expensive throughout the mountain states....
It depends on how high you raise the camera, 1,2,3 inches won't create much vibration but fully expending the post will act like a flag in the wind. To me, it is much better to have an oversized...
My 150mm Sironar is of that era (1975) and it did develop separation, it was still in warranty so I sent it back to the importer, Berkey Marketing who sent it back to Rodenstock. They fixed the...
Just get a proper professional cleaning done on the shutter, that way you will know it will preform correctly for many years to come.
Oxygen is the enemy of developers. Glass bottles/jugs are great till you drop one on a concrete floor. If you are super careful then go for it. For 30+ years I have used 2 liter soda bottles with...
That particular house was built in 2000-2001. I am sure California has much tighter/advanced building codes/practices but here in the South things can be more lax. In fact the local codes inspector...
Drew, that particular house was built in 2000-2001. I am sure California has much tighter/advanced building codes/practices but here in the South things can be more lax. In fact the local codes...
Here is my 2 cents on this subject. When I built my last house I knew I would make a darkroom in the front left corner of the basement. The standard waterproofing for cinder blocks is to coat them...
5x7 is big enough to be artistically contact printed and also enlarged. I usually print mine 9x12 on 11x14 paper. I don't go bigger because I now have a rather small darkroom and bigger is difficult...
I use the Hasselblad bellows lens hood on several format systems, 35mm, 6x6 blad, 4x5, 5x7. This is the older 1st generation hood that takes the B50 or series 63 mount rings. The B50 ring is for the...
Years ago I would buy rolls of paper (8", 11") from Freestyle Sales and cut it down to 8x10. The curl was a hassle but the paper was very cheap. I would cut about 40 sheets at a time and store them...
Have you checked the focus tension tab to make sure is is loose. Someone may have applied a little too much tension, I do that sometimes when I have a heavy lens on and am pointing the camera...
Well worth the trip (3 hr drive each way). A nice showing of AA's images, a few that I hadn't seen before. The other images tied in nicely to illustrate the progression of landscape photography after...
Making plans to be there.
Thanks for the heads up, I may try to attend in the next few weeks.
Avon Skin So Soft works quite well here in the Southern USA until you start sweating. After about an hour I usually go inside, cool off and reapply more SOS. I have to be more careful nowadays since...
While in Moab you might check out the Tom Till Gallery, he is an excellant landscape photographer. I did a workshop with him in the Great Smokies several years ago and learned a lot.
Do you wear eyeglasses? If so, you may need to update your prescription. As I've gotten older and my eyesight changes it definately causes problems with my getting correct focus. Most times when I...
The debate over wiping film has raged for decades and will continue for many more. The best way for you to decide is to try each way and then settle on the one you are happiest with. Personally I...
Use a shorter FL lens, such as a 150mm, don't change your camera to subject distance, yes your subject will be smaller on the film but we are talking 4x5 here, simply crop it up when you make the...
Amazing how quickly things change. It was just a few years ago that I did a little trading at both Schillers and CC. Fair deals and both had a decent amount of used equipment. I guess I'll have to...
Have you checked any of the camera stores in St. Louis? There used to be a shop in Clayton the handled a lot of LF equipment. Shillers and Creve Couer on Olive might have a few holders in their used...
How you charge for your time can be done in several ways as others have noted. When I ran my Photography business: 1. Weddings were always by the "package" price, which included all time, film and...
A few other things to consider: When you took the picture did you focus on the building or on the mountains in the distance? Was this shot with your 300mm lens? Longer FL lenses have less apparent...
All electrical circuits in the darkroom must be GFI protected for your safety. Standard grounded won't save you. The GFI plugs do cost much more than regular ones but are much cheaper than a funeral....
Series 6 would be the proper size for this lens. You can also use Series 7 with the proper adapter or step-up ring from series 6. Series 5 might block some of the image in the corners. Most of the...
