I am looking for a Carl Zeiss Tessar-lens, about 30cm. Most of them seems to be made in Jena, a few of them in Wien/Vienna. I have found some information about the Jena-lenses but almost nothing...

I have a really heavy 8x10"-camera. Right now I have a Gitzo No 4 tripod head. Unfortunately it is enought for the camera so I am looking for another tripod head. I have been offered to buy a...

I have a Coolamp and/or Thorn, if you are interested?

Thanks! Do you know if it is easy to get rid of oil on aparture blades, too?

Many thanks! It is a Voigtländer Heliar, barell, from the 1940s. What do you think of Haze in that lens?

I am thinking about buying a LF-lens from the beginning of the 20th century. However, the seller says that there a some haze inside the lens. Is it (always) possible to get rid of the haze by...

Thanks! Anyone that have used the lens?

I have searched the forum (and googled), but have not found much info about the Voigtländer Telomar 360mm, f. 5.5. Have anyone used the lens on a 4x5" camera? Example photos? Is it sharp and what...

Thanks!

Does anyone have experience with using a Durst ELITE 2000 autofocus-system together with a Laborator 1200? Is the system useful?

Hi! Does anyone know if one could use Femocon 50T together with a regular Laborator BW head? Somewhere I have read that one should use a Femocon 50 together with a Femocon 80 - but is it as good to...

Hi!

I have a package of 8x10" Era 100. Does anyone know how to develop it in Rodinal or Xtol in trays? Which ISO do you rate it as?

Hi!

It is the rangefinder system that I do not really understand, especially how to calibrate it, if possible. Right now the rangefinder doesn't measure accurate with my Nikkor W 135mm, compared...

No one?

Hi!

Anyone knowing where to find a Wista RF instruction book, preferable in Europe?
Is there some instructions on the Internet?

Regards,

Hi!

Thanks. I will contact them. But in Europe, where I live, I have been in contact with a repairer of Wista cameras. They did only sell a complete rangefinder, which costs a lot.....

Hi!

Thanks for the information about the Nikkor 450mm. I will try to get av Copal-shutter!

I have the opportunity to buy a Imagon 200mm, Compound shutter, in good condition for 380USD from a...

Hi!

Thanks. It seems rather expensive (475 USD) to buy a new Copal-shutter and get the lens cells mounted and perhaps it is a better idea to sell the lens in the DBM-mount and get another used...

Sorry, wrong forum, could someone move it to Lenses & Lens Accessoires instead?

Hi!

I have an Rodenstock Imagon 300mm in a large Compound-shutter in mint condition with all discs etc. However I can't use it on my 4x5" as it's too big. So instead I am probably going to buy a...

Hi!

Thank you very much for all the information.

Hi!

Thanks for the information! Of course, I will leave the Instantograph intact and only modify it if I do not have to damage it in any way.

I am bad at English and should have explained it...

Hi!

Thanks. Do you have the possibility to upload some photos of the adapters on the camera back?

Regards,
fix_se

Thanks for the information!

I think I will buy the Instantograph. Is it possible (and easy) to modify the back of the camera so that one could use normal/modern filmholders?

Regards,
fix_se

Thanks Ole for the information!

Is there anyone else that are familiar with a Roussel lens?

Hi!

I have the possibility to buy an Lancaster Instantograph, half-plate (12x16,5cm) which I, if I buy it, intend to use, both with homemade dry plates and sheet film. However, I do not have the...

Hi!

Does anyone know anything about Voigtländer WZ f. 9 18cm? I assume that it is a soft-focus lens but how is it compared to a Rodenstock Imagon? Does anyone have any photo made with a...

No one? Then it goes to the trash bin ;)

Hi!

Thanks for the info. So, in general, a Nikkor M 450mm in a Sinar DBM mount goes for 1/4 of the price of one in a copal 3 shutter?

Regards,
fix_se

I assume that the prices are for a Nikon 450mm in a Copal shutter? Does anyone know how much difference there is for a lens in a copal shutter or a Sinar dbm mount?

Hi!

The disc don't fit my 300mm Imagon and I also have all the discs for that lens. Instead of throwing the disc away I hope that someone else perhaps could use it.

Hi!
Among my other photogear I found a disk (H 7.7-9.5) for a Rodenstock Imagon 420mm. I have no use for the disk since I do not have a 420mm Imagon (instead I got a 300mm Imagon). So if anyone have...

Thanks!

Hi!

I have an Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar T 150mm/f.4.5 with serialnumber 3406218 in a Press-Compur shutter (T, B, 1-1/250,nr A493772). Does anyone know how old the lens is? Is it non-coated or...

Thanks! Yesterday I bought a 300mm Imagon in a Compound shutter in mint condition. I will try it on my 8x10"-camera and later on post some sampleshots. Btw, does anyone know which f-number the Imagon...
