    Re: Images of mistakes - good or bad..

    When I went to replace the dark slide on this one, I felt it catch on the film. Uh-oh! I just jammed the dark slide harder and hoped for the best, and when I removed the holder, didn't see the film...

    Re: Sinar F question

    You can get a 62mm lens to Bay 60 step down ring. B&H sells a Heliopan one for $95.
    Then you need a 60mm to 62mm step up ring. Those should be cheaper and plentiful.

    Re: Images of mistakes - good or bad..

    This one is a double mistake. First, I used the 2-stop ND filter on my Imagon when I probably would have been better off without it, so it's about 2 stops under-exposed. Then, I didn't know that Adox...
