Thanks Sevo. So you reckon other than gluing the magnet, there's nothing else that needs replacing?

Thanks KK. I'm not sure what you mean. Were you asking me to have a look and check, or were you...

Thanks for the heads-up guys!

Right now we're checking all our options.

A fellow LFer has an old JOBO kit, but according to him, it may ned replav\cement parts or repair. Jere's what he said...

I would suggest looking to see if Multiblitz is available in your country and more importantly, if there's good after-sales and parts support for it.

Barring that, any reputable brand flash with...

Well, one of us spoke to the lab, and they told us the machine is built into the building (whatever that means). Also, it's supposed to be a dinosaur with no parts and service, which is why, I...

That's some great suggestions guys! THANKS!

Not many folks DIY their own E6 here, so it's sort of a new(ish) area to many of us. Commercial lab work has always been fairly affordable (USD2.50/...

Sorry ... Singapore.

No, it's not that LF cameras will be made illegal or anything as bad as that, but very soon, we will have absolutely no E-6 processing services for LF materials here. It seems that the one and only...

Neil,

I don't have or use a Roddie 65, but a Nikkor 65 f/4 which is probably similar with a similar image circle.

While I'm no expert on lenses, I can share that focusing with one can be a...

Hi Healyzh,

What Richard said about storage makes sense.

I use a traveling luggage suitcase which is huge, but allows me to store everything I need sans tripod in the case for a shoot. This...

This is getting too weird for me ...

Kind of remind me (rather obliquely though) of the ironical situation in China or Korea where manufacturers of imitation goods were peeved that their...

Err ... maybe that WAS real? :D :D :D

Perhaps it was by someone who loves the idea of LF or LF gear, or just a specialist 'entrepreneur' looking at untapped markets? :D

'LENS BY GERMANY' should be a dead give-away!

It apparently sold for US$355!

Hi Bob,

I'm not sure if this reply is too late, but I am in Singapore.

Let me know if you need any help or want to shoot together, or just meet up for coffee and chat.

Sabine and I will be...

That sounds awfully familiar! :D

In my case, it was easy as I 'inherited' a 150 APO Roddie along with my first LF set-up and continue to be pleasantly startled by the sharpness, clarity and...

Thanks for sharing, and Happy New Year!

I'm not sure what happened, but apparently I posted this thread twice.

I decided to hold off on the 300, even though it went for a nice price of US$204.

I might get a conventional 250mm, or a Fujinon soft focus lens instead.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for sharing guys.

Appreciate it.

I'm looking at a listing and was wondering what would you pay for a Symmar-S 300mm (with shutter, no lens board) in what looks like fairly good condition?

I've read that even the single coated...

Thanks so much Peter.

I'll look out for the 550s and 405s, but preferably the 550s since they seem to offer a larger image.

CHEERS!

I did a search and found these:

No offense Peter, but why not an aerosol?

I was thinking of spraying some dry moly in the gears on my next round of clean and lube on my view cam.

Would a dry lube like molybdenum disulfide work?

For reasons unbeknown to me, my portable hard-drives seem to glow a prettier iridescent magenta under my focusing cloth. :D

I've had the 308, 328, 508, and now use a 558. My friend who shoots only digital uses the 758.

Just a very quick pros and cons of each

Huh ... err ... ? Yeah.

Oh my ... my friend who just started lf recently and is moving to China very soon is going to have a lot of fun!

Thank you for sharing that percepts.

For me, the refusal to communicate is an immediate show stopper.

Thanks Rick, that's reassuring to know in case I do switch. :)

Thanks for taking the time to go through that Rick.

I'll admit that the technicalities stump me, but I remembered this document. Hope it helps.

While looking at the many impressive photos here, my finger froze and I felt a sharp intake of breath as I saw your photo Tristan!

Such breath-taking beauty!

Thank you for sharing.

dh,

I too am an LF beginner but I think that shot is great!

I like the way you've captured the misty nuances and foliage detail without over-exposing the background and making it painful to...

I did another series of shots on 6x12 with the 65mm Nikkor at f/22 and f/45. Waiting to see the results as soon as I develop the negs.
