    Re: Shutter Repair for Copal 1?

    Roger,

    I was thinking something along your idea. There will be a day somewhere in the future when this lens will move on to a new owner. I'm thinking the new looking shutter and scales...

    I have a Nikkor 150SW in a copal 1 shutter. It was bought years ago in "fair" condition and is still in the same "fair" condition. When I received it the shutter cocking lever was broken (I bought...

    Re: 11x14 image. What frame size?

    Peter,

    While I have used a 16x20 for 11x14s, I have always like more matting around a photo that size. Unfortunately, that means getting into non ready-made sizes. I have some 11x14s from Roman...

    Re: Carbon Fiber Tripod for 8x10

    Have to agree with Lachlan here, I have a Leophoto tripod that cost under $300 that gives a Really Right Stuff a run for the money at $600 to $700 less.

  10. Re: Have any of you downgraded from 8x10 to 4x5? Why?

    While I have both 8x10 and 4x5 formats, it is the 8x10 that gets used 90% of the time. I'm 71 years young and still backpack with my 8x10. I figure it is a way to stay young, and to be honest, an...

    Re: Need Sound Tripod Advice

    Peter,

    After reading your post I went online and viewed the info on the 324Cl and thought, that is really reasonable. Then I put the tripod in the "cart" and applied the 20% coupon making the...
