Hi John. I think Michael wrote “latitude”, not “altitude “. LOL. Is Sr Bettrille still cute?

A really useful way to start is by following the film data sheet recommendations and that film manufacturer’s processing recommendations. The major film companies have plenty of free documents to...
Consider measuring the outside of the lens and use an appropriate slip-on Series filter adapter.
Yes, they do… to a certain extent. Some use computers and the internet to facilitate intelligent thought; others clearly use them as a replacement.
I'd suggest shooting B&W film in "normal" circumstances and look at the negatives to see if they appear "normal". For me this works best with general coverage and incident meters. With a spot meter...
Testing for what aspect of spot metering - accuracy, precision, correct exposure recommendation? Which spot meter?
If I'm checking out a new-to-me meter I "test" by comparing meter readings with...
It might be more interesting to discuss this quote (but there is no camera ad to go with it):
“I believe that photographs actually rob all of us of our memory.”

You might want to review this to determine which version of the shutter you have (I believe there are differing "eras" of Synchro Compur shutters with differing schemes for achieving the highest...
... and take good notes along the way so you can replicate whatever gives you pleasing results!
These things happen. :) Ernest, sadly, passed quite some time ago and it was nice to see his name revived. Thanks!
A 2 inch hole should suffice.

Remove the retaining ring. Measure the inside diameter.
Find Daniel Stone’s username and PM him. He’s been there with LF, perhaps several times.
Looks like an archive. We should thank the Almighty that it is available. I regret to inform you that you seem to be 7 years too late for meaningful intercourse there.
Very nice results, Aidan. Reminds me of a favorite “junk lens” I often use, a 5x7 Gundlach Radar.
Post #1: "I really love the look of 180mm lenses with the 4x5. But, frankly, I am a bit lost as to which to pick. I would love any recommendations, specifically in regards to portrait work."
Post...
Whatever lens you get, check that there are soft focus filters (softar, soft/fx, or the like) available in that size. For a lot of portraiture, you'll want something to cut the sharpness.
You slay me; you really do!
It is… if it’s big enough.
I must no be very proficient at reading between the lines or predicting the future. Those are two of my talents, everywhere but on foto phourumns. LOL
My Magic-8 ball says, “You’re probably correct.”
But there was nothing political in that link… just valid statistics pertinent to the topic of heat- related dangers. Not much at all about global warming. In this case it seems more of an...
Somewhere in my garage I have a rivet press and a jillion hollow brass rivets that would be perfect to replicate a door… somewhere in my garage. I was going to make a spare for myself out of highly...
I'd have to look at mine to see if it looks like brass or not; I don't think I ever thought about it. But I did think about making a spare door. What about a spring steel, like this?
...
Thanks for the report, John... that's encouraging news! I'm a bit surprised to hear that the "white ones" aren't in a metal case. That is not a satisfactory design, IMO. Fitting tight, as you...
I love VT but don’t ignore autumn in the Adirondacks of New York, Saratoga Springs to the Canadian border and west to Gouverneur and Ft Drum.
Which film?
Go now and take stuff while he’s still here to see you enjoy it.
I haven’t talked to them in a couple of years and you might want to call them. Steve’s Camera Repair in Culver City, CA did great work for me in the past.
Any decent camera repair shop should be able to do the work for you if they are still willing to service mechanical shutters. A routine leaf shutter service is a rather basic skill to a camera tech.
That, and the other like it, appear to meet the interchangeability spec. There really aren’t sensitive electronics to fry; it’s a rather basic electrical circuit. I’m always more worried about that...
One of my favorites is in Weston. lol
And one of my favorite lens/shutter is in US stop.
Normal for that brand of shutter, and many other shutters in all formats.
Travel photography used to be fun too… in the good old days.
About +2/3 stop
A potential option would be to use a slip-on series filter adapter.
