    Re: Universal Heliar - how to

    Thank you. Is there a combination diaphragm/softness you would recommend for 4x5 portraits? I am using f8 because I would like tohave the entire head in-focus.

    Universal Heliar - how to

    Hello,
    I am trying to work with a Universal Heliar but I am a bit baffled: are you supposed to focus before or after applying the soft focus? If I focus before even a slight rotation seems to...

    @Jim Noel, @Jody_S: thanks. I do have a ground glass. The 2 lens trick seems quite practical.

    Cambo 470 Wide not quite sharp

    I have a Cambo 470 Wide which is not quite sharp at infinity. Given that the Schneider 47XL seems to be quite a good lens and that the one I have seems in good condition, I wonder what the problem...

    Re: Universal Heliar for 8x10

    Thank you. So if I understand it right, it is only a matter of perspective between the two focal lengths.

    Universal Heliar for 8x10

    Would 30cm cover? Apart from coverage, is 36cm better for portaits? The difference in length does not seem large.
    Thanks

    Help for changing Calumet C-1 ground glass

    Hello,
    I need to replace the gg. It is held in place by three clips, which I think I have to loosen. I cannot figure out which kind of screwdriver I need. Help would be much appreciated.
  12. Compur Electronic 3 - any replacement circuit?

    I have one that does not work. Did anyone came up with a cheap replacement for the electronics?
