I'm looking at buying some X-Ray film , the green type , from the States to be shipped to the United kingdom .
My concern is when it's on it's travels via several airports I would presume it might...
The Chinese imports tend to be cheaper than goods made in your own country , thus "cheap" .
Being in the U.K , I don't look at US $ prices , but a quick search has 10x8 bellows at £140 .
That's...
In post #3 , Neil Poulson wrote " They just gave me a quote of £99.00 for an 8x10 bellows " .
I assume when someone's says "just" they mean recently , not 20 years ago .
But having seen how...
I've got some of the shoe polish on order and some Pledge furniture polish that was recommended on another forum to try .
To be honest , I'm not too hopeful that it'll make much difference to the...
I've never heard of "Mink oil" shoe polish before , but found it easily available with a quick search .
It says it's for leather , likewise a bottle of mink oil is sold as a leather treatment .

I will certainly contact them .
I'm suppressed that 10x8 bellows are only £99 , I thought they would have been much more .
It would be handy to have some made as the front part of the bellows would...
The camera is a homemade camera , and no doubt the bellows are too .
There no way of knowing how old the camera is , but I do think they are much stiffer than when it was made .
They are not...
Hello .
I've bought a used , DIY built 10"x12" Large format camera and film holder .
It only cost me £45 , so I'm quite happy with it .
I need to replace the missing focus screen and make a few...
No the 210mm is much smaller , the thread of the shutter/lens is about 15mm narrower . On their website it was listed as a I+1 .
Likewise the Symmar 240mm uses a different size ( neither a 3 nor 3s...
The front lens has a 58mm filter thread , so can use a clip on 58mm lens cap .
If you want to use a push on lens cap , you need a 60mm one .
The rear lens doesn't have a filter thread , so there...
Presumably if the velvet is missing or crushed it will effect where the film holder and focus screen sit equally and make no difference for the point of focus .
It might cause light leaks , but I...
Intrepid effectively make these to order , judging by the lead times .
I would imagine they would be happy to make one for you that has not had any treatment / sealant applied .
That way you can...
Hopefully you'll get the reply either today or tomorrow .
Just send Intrepid an email , they'll tell you soon enough .
Mondays a bank holiday in the U.K , so expect a reply after that .
Whenever I've contacted them they've responded within 24 hours ....
Make sure the clips that hold the film in position are located correctly , and put the correct amount of liquid's in it .
A litre of developer sloshing around in it has a fair bit of weight behind...
I will have a look in the next few days to see if I can send them a message requesting it being put back up .
You would think a firm with such a rich history in optics would keep all this...
That's the link I've provided in my original post as despite doing various searches , nothing came up on the net or here .
Thank you for the reply though .
Thanks for the link .
Handy that you can select what format you want the lens for and it filters out the unsuitable ones .
Very helpful .

What sort of price did you pay per 100 sheet's ?
I might look at getting some when I get back off holiday .
I don't know about repairing your existing aperture , but would it be possible to replace it as a unit with one of these off ebay ?...
On a negative they would do , as no light got past the bits to leave an exposure .
The sample posted is a scan of the negative then inverted to a positive .
So the white dots on the negative are...
Not fully extended for wide angle , no more than about an inch extended for 75mm .
For the 47mm you might consider getting one of those screw in petal hoods , and if need be , trim it to suit .
I've not made one .
I use slot in filters such as ND grads a lot along with such as a yellow filter etc .
You can buy a hood designed to slot into the filter holder and works fine with the HiTech...
I have a few lenses whose flash sync lever move a bit too freely , I put a piece of electrical insulation tape over it to prevent it getting moved by accident .
All my lens boards are made out of 1/8" hardwood ply .
For thicker boards for heavier lenses a glue several layers togeather .
Backs painted flat black , fronts varnished , looks good to me and...
That's a very good idea .
Way more than I'd pay for an old suitcase , some tent poles and some lightproof material though .
But it gives me a much better idea on how I can make a similar one for in...
O.P's asking about a 105mm lens , not the 100mm you've linked to.
The one I linked to was the 105mm f/4.5 though , not the 105mm f/3.5 that the O.P asked about .
The 105mm f/3.5 the O.P isn't a...
My mistake , I didn't spot the different aperture .
It's strange that is missing from this list ( https://www.schneideroptics.com/info/vintage_lens_data/large_format_lenses/xenar/ ) at Schneider .
