Advance search. Work down from the top.

Accuracy of your shutter(s) will be a much weaker point in your process than your meter.

Perhaps look at calibrating them first.

Have the Buyer set up a virtual mail box. You ship to a US address (virtual) and they then send it to the OS address. These companies have access to very cheap (relative) postage.

Been doing this...

The branding is the interesting thing here.

It is branded as being a “Repro Claron APO II”, SK and “1:3.5/320”.

Doesn’t strike me as being a Frankenstein; it’s quite specific.

And it...

It’s still listed on eBay. Can’t see the S/N. Can see the aperture in one image.

It still interests/concerns me that I can find nothing on this branding, let alone focal length.

There’s currently one of these listed on eBay (for a significant chunk of $$$ as well).

I can’t find anything out about this particular model, nor on a search of “Repro Claron APO II”.

Anyone...

Possibly a rebranded Computar Symmetrigon.

There are so many new tripod brands that I believe are significantly more compelling than Manfrotto.

Companies like Feisol, Leofoto, Fotopro, FLM, Three Legged Thing etc all seem to put a lot of...

+1 355mm G Claron.

Covers 12x20’ so plenty of room. Easy enough to find. Relatively cheap.

Brilliant images on my 7x17 (roughly equivalent IC as 11x14).

Double scan (half and half) and stitch in PS. Simple!

Grafmatic.

Both 7x17” and 8x20” can be easily scanned and stitched on something as simple as an Epsom V700/750/800 etc with high acuity, massive file size results.

Both also allow magnificent contact...

Sandy,

It’s Filip Habart’s camera company based in Prague.

Terrific guy and extremely helpful with information and builds (he made me 7x17” bellows; excellent quality).

JOBO rule number one: never attempt to use the lift as it was intended (note I did fuse “designed”…)

ALWAYS lift the tank itself, rather than using the lift arm. There are some articles on how to...

Not knowing a thing about 3D printing, would a 150x150mm filter holder to fit a 127mm filter size (210mm Super Angulon) be difficult?

Seeing how amazing the constructions ported here is...

Short answer - they are not interchangeable.

Slip-on filter holder for big lenses (specifically 127mm) that accept standard 150mm slide-in filters (Lee, Nisi et al). Can't find colour filters (B&W) in 127mm, only in Lee's 150x150mm resin (yuk,...

Just over 3.5kg for camera and lens (Nikon z7 II and new 400mm f2.8 - 380mm long). Hand holdable with IBIS. Built in 1.4x TC. Extra battery?

Deardorff 8x10” (body only) 5.5kg. Without lens....

You can hammer in a nail with a brick, i guess...

In this day of 50meg+ digital sensors with 400mm f2.8 lenses on remotely controlled pan/tilt electronic slide mounts that can be triggered from...

72, 110, 180, 300

I’d love to try it on 7x17”; however, I doubt there would be enough users wishing to outlay a considerable sum for the privilege, nor enough opportunities to process the film once exposed…

$80million lottery here in Australia this week... Maybe I could afford a box?

We're actually entering territory where said box will be approaching the cost of the entry level of cameras it's...

Also, very telling about your prejudices in relation to the brand. It helped me to place where the bias and vitriol in this thread stemmed from.

Pity you didn’t mention their apparently stellar...

That you choose to accept unsupported, arbitrary and non-controlled methodology as being empirical evidence of systemic failure speaks volumes.

In simple parlance. “One swallow does not a summer...

These points are not what I question.

One camera with one lens wide open on unspecified mount with undocumented user skills should not be the basis to tar the product.

Conclusions based on a minute sample size and poor scientific methodology.

Until you check it with another lens, your conclusion of it being the camera at fault has very limited credibility.

And Haikus, apparently.

I’ll take my Sigma 14mm f1.8 for Astro over some less wide/less sharp/slower lens from 1980.

I’ll take my Nikkor 19mm PC-E over the Nikkor over the 28mm PC.

And I’ll take all of my other...

I think you’ve mistaken “ignored” with “responded to with a long-winded response”.

That can be a trap for some.

Ah, more vacuous “sound bite” commentary…

Vacuous comment.

Apparently due for release on 15th Nov.

Pre-wash.

It helps to lower the initial “impact” of the developer when it’s at its strongest.

Portraits aren’t like landscapes - they are limited in their audience to the sitter and their circle of family/friends/associates. I’m not going to look through your catalogue and order a copy of Joe...

“I am 100% satisfied with my G Claron”.

Ergo no lens can improve on it for your use case. Seems a moot question.

Majestic with as big a plate as you can find.
