I agree with Bob. Buy the front standard from a Crown or Speed Graphic or a junk body and make an adapter board.

The only SAXL I'm aware of that has a removable rear ring is the 90mm. I know it seems incredulous that something like this could happen but perhaps the seller accidentally swapped his 47mm and 90mm...
That's wonderful, tigger... very painterly-like.
I meant 'weird' in a good way... different but very interesting and compelling.
You're images are absolutely weird, Robert. But a very good kind of weird. :)
Fantastic detail in that one, David.
Nice find... thanks, Kirk!!
Dan, where does that seller claim those wooden boards fit Pacemaker Graphics?
I don't know Neil's situation but there may be unmentioned underlying health issues that affected his decision.
Stone??
Smileys to prove I'm such a really wonderful nice guy... :) :)
Me too, Stone... but that's not when I sell unless I'm in a terrible hurt for money. Fortunately, my terrible, painful hurt for money is probably over with. Most of us don't have family we adult men...
What did you decide to do with the Graphic View? It's a nice camera.
^^^ But don't those illustrate differences in subject matter and lighting more so than other more technical factors?
So you're returning the Graphic View?
I wouldn't return the camera because it'll cost half its value to ship it back. If you buy another graphic view, you'd be better off keeping this one for spare parts.
The used photo market is unpredictable. Just because something doesn't meet a reserve or sell the very first listing, it doesn't mean the item isn't worth the reserve or asking price. It only means...
Stone is right. Those foam pads absorb chemicals no matter hard you try to keep them clean. I'd at least wear sandals... and trade those out occasionally too.
He shot through a window.
Lenses, type of film, type of developer, how film is developed and many other factors all play a part but, IMO, the biggest players are subject and lighting. Some will say this is a completely...
Alan, I take that a step further. I almost never auction anything. I list with fixed prices... sometimes with "Make Offer" option but those have set automatic limits. On the very rare occasion I...
Reserve prices don't bother me. I always bid the last few seconds anyway. If my bid doesn't meet the reserve price then I don't win the auction.
That may or may not be the case but it doesn't matter anyway. Ebay automatically bids incrementally for buyers so even if one buyer bids US$10K and the next highest bid is US$500 the higher bidder...
Rubbing salt in wounds...
Not trying to disagree with others who seem to be discouraging use of a 90mm lens but, honestly, 90mm is not so wide that it ever caused me any problems at all. And if you like 24mm on FF DSLR and...
Holy schnitzel!! :eek:
I agree with Corran and Luis. If you prefer 24mm on FF DSLR and 55mm on 6x7cm then 90mm is about the same perspective on 4x5in.
For $500 you should be able to find a nice 150mm and another focal length 210mm or 90mm... maybe all three if you're frugal and patient and are willing to accept a little cosmetic imperfection.
I've had things hung-up coming or going through Chicago, sometimes for over a week. It didn't seem to matter what time of year.
Nope, not 'universal truth'... just a quarter century of direct observations.
Perhaps you should apply to be a moderator, mister policeman.;) I speak only the truth as I've experienced it for a quarter century of so-called 'government service'.:)
The smiley-faces negate the...
No offense but... ha ha ha ha ha... (big breath)... ha ha ha ha ha!! :D
Maybe if the young applicant is one or more of the hiring officials' close friend or lover.
Nah... ya' think???? LOL!! :D
You mean you had to advertise an opening even if management wasn't looking to fill the position and it was to be abolished??
^^^ You and me both, brother.
You can also make a lens board from the right thickness of plywood and cut a hole just large enough for the lens to thread into the wood... no ring needed. If done properly, it's aligned as well as...
That's probably a logical way to preclude at least some of the cronyism abuses of the system. I tip my hat to Canada.:)
^^^ That's all anyone can do... try his/her best and keep hoping. :)
Don't forget about the initial 30 day evaluation period. No offense intended but if management can't evaluate the abilities of an employee within 30 days, let alone 12 months, then management is...
