Very cool looking camera. Of course functionality is the most important thing with a camera , but I sure like it when they look cool .
I didn't think the pods would be an issue with ten year old stuff. I purchased an unopened box of polaroid on ebay dated 1971 a few years ago and got prints from most of the packets. The contrast was...
Thank you for the info. What are my options on the center filter ? Do I have to use a schneider filter or are there after market options? Can the center filter be used with other lenses?
I am very excited about this! In my closet I found a box of type 55 unopened! The expiration date is 2/05.I don't want to waste a single sheet. I'm open to suggestion on what speed I should shoot at...
I know the specs and know it was designed for 6X9 and 6X12. I have read posts on this forum by photographers that have claimed that they have used the 38 5.6 SA on 4X5 with no movements. I would...
No , she always hated it because I would be out for several days with it when I hung out with my friends . Easy Rider was our favorite movie. Things have calmed down these days. Now I pop an advil...
Man , I can't wait. When the film is available I'm going to sell my Harley , buy a few refrigerator's and stuff them with new55 film. My wife is getting nervous .
Wow!! This one really blows me away . I dig everything about it. Well done . The girl reminds me so much of a girl I was very close to back in the 70's. Fantastic portrait.
Lets begin with New55film victory:)

Expired Polaroid 55 negative on Speed Graphic and Aero Ektar wide open.
Bravo . A beautiful portrait on 55 to celebrate the coming of a wonderful new...
About a year ago I was preparing myself for the new55 film. I wanted to have some back up holders . I bought a bunch of them , the early version models that are all metal , and only mint in the box...
Very nice
I have the 121 f/8 and love it. Great for outdoor use on 4x5...so much movement
Really nice work
Beautiful as always , Ari. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Beautiful
I always do research before I ask the question here but the forum provides the best info . So , is separation a red flag when considering a lens ? What exactly is separating and does the separation...
Thank you very much Jose . I scanned the contact with my low end dell 810 printer . Soon I will get a decent scanner so I can do quality scans. I think I failed to do a final leveling of the camera...
110930My friend restored this barn. It was a five year project. I wanted to make the image in b&w while the barn was still in bare wood. Calumet CC402 121 Super Angulon Delta 100 orange filter. The...
I am referring to thickness and the vignette problem .
I really like that light. I like all the images you have done with this set up . Nice.
Just watched it again. I just really like to watch and listen to the artists that make the images that I like . The way he told the story of the gas station shot , just driving up the garden state...
I think it is time to use a filter on my 47 XL. Can I use a standard size filter or do i need to use one of the thin type filters ?
I'm curious if anyone has ever had a Schneideritis lens reconditioned.
I can not argue with anyone who has used Schneider lenses with the paint defect and achieved good results . I'm convinced that A lens with a paint defect will perform just as well as one without the...
Whenever I inquire about a lens being sold with the defect it is always stated that there is no effect on image quality. But lenses are made with non reflective black inside for a reason . They...
Does Shneideritis get worse over time? Is it worth it to buy a lens that has the defect ?
I guess that is really what it gets down to. What is on the ground glass is what you get.
The levels are missing from my camera. I was going to order them. Maybe I'll just leave them off!
Thanks for the very informative reply.
Thanks Ken. The Fuji SF lens does give a very nice softness.
I'm not an absolute perfectionist , but when things look out of alignment to me , it bugs me. My Cambo Master PC monorail has little measurement gauges everywhere they need to be so both standards...
OK...so no disc , no diffusion . Thanks .
Is the Fuji 250 soft 5.6 lens a type of soft lens that needs discs to control various levels of diffusion? I see it for sale with a disc and without.
That was a wonderful documentary. I read about George Tice many years ago . The article I read was about his Paterson NJ photography. I didn't know about all the other work he did. He is a great...
Just received my 210 today and mounted it on a Cambo board. I played with it on my Master PC monorail . Looks like I will be adding another section of rail and maybe even a longer bellows if I work...
It is an interesting idea. I think it would be an amazing wide angle 8x10. If I decided to build a wide angle C1 there would be no limits to what I would do. I built custom , hard core , Harley...
I love my Luna Pro . Mine is the grey model . She eats up the Wein batteries though. I think the batteries sit on the shelf in the store for a long time . I have other meters but the Luna Pro has...
That is a beauty . Very cool lens .
Can't wait to get this one ! Soon I will be ripping open a box to get out my darling , honey of a lens . I was looking for a 210mm for 4X5. Macro photography with large format is something I have...
