Thanks for the link. This video at about 4mins:

got me thinking a while back about how useful a mini table saw would be for making lens boards, not...
I've thought about getting a mini table saw, they look useful for making lens boards (which I can do by hand, but it takes a good while). Would you recommend the mini table saw model you have?
I don't know about this Chinese bellows seller. Even though the camera is in bad condition, if you think it's good enough for a new bellows, I suggest getting good quality bellows once and for all,...
Roughly how heavy / bulky were the parts? I want to bring a Durst Laborator 1000 from Wales to Seoul, but...each time I'm in the attic looking at the enlarger I feel like I need about a week to fit...
Sea shipping prices sound great...how did you arrange this? Was this from eBay, Yahoo, a website, something else?
Thank you for posting the images taken with the lens, and also the images of the lens.
Thank you to all who responded, interesting. I'd not thought about use as enlarging lenses.
Thank you for the information, that's surprising (and interesting). Do you happen to know the age of that lens, roughly?
I've had a couple of messages about this through email; to be a bit more clear - I wonder if anyone has a guess of country of manufacture (I think not continental Europe, for example - but I don't...
Some photos of the markings (or lack of) on the cells might be useful for future reference. Someone (no connection to me) has been trying to sell an Ilex photoplastic lens for a while on eBay in the...
Does anyone have any ideas about the likely origins of this unbranded Petzval? Or the aperture markings, they don't refer to any scale I'm aware of. Back focus is about 18cm, roughly a 3.5cm aperture...
The influence of his work on Francis Bacon is mentioned at about 20:40 in this documentary:

Look up eBay listing 255905297774 (8x10" Large Format Camera - FASQUEL CAMERA), 3900 euros.
The last few attachments aren't visible or accessible (at least for me), but I like what I saw. Wouldn't mind a few photos of the mill / lathe setup, too, do you have any images of parts in...
Thanks for the follow up post, glad to read that you had a good time - and I like the photos you posted in the other thread!
I wonder how this trip went / is going. It's 35° today, and mosquito activity is "extreme" (that's according to a website I looked at, and my experience here on the ground in NW Seoul).
Gyeongju is a good place to visit. If you like mountains, maybe you could consider a Bukhan mountain day hike while in Seoul:

I've lived in Seoul for years. Thinking of one of your questions
"any watch-outs as well. I know some countries have very strict rules about photography in public, any experiences with this in...

This thread came to mind as soon as I saw this.
I just don't get excited about scanning, but like darkroom printing when I get time.
About enlarging attachments, I'll have a look on Youtube, thanks for the suggestion Alan. The quality of the...
I emailed Intrepid asking if they will make a 5x7 enlarging attachment back, they replied quickly saying they plan to offer an 8x10 enlarging attachment with a 5x7 negative carrier. I'm now curious...
I agree, I like contact printing with smaller negatives. Still wish I could get a 5x7 enlarger here though.
Having read through this thread it seems there's not much against this camera, particularly given the price.
It is trickier to find a 5x7 enlarger (actually it's hard / expensive to get an...
I have an earlier Peco Universal, I can take a photo of the WA bellows if that would help with identification.
Transplanting bellows sounds tricky, I have wondered what glue should be used if I...
Impressive, how much does the camera weigh (with lens)?
Maybe Borosilicate is harder to grind - if you are grinding the glass yourself. I bought a borosilicate GG years ago and I think the seller mentioned at the time it takes longer to grind. Since then...
Steven, thanks for replying, you know so much about lenses and shutters from this era. I probably could manage a clean up, but I've put it off in case there's a Mattioli meister out there. This one...
Very cool, both the images and the work on the lens. I prefer the f8 image. Can you provide an image of the adapter rings you made?
18x24 will not fit an 8x10 holder, it'll fall out. There are 18x24 fidelity holders around, but the price jumped in recent times. There might be other options for single sided 8x10, but I'm not sure...
Rodenstock sold the Bistigmat in two version, the more simple has a fixed barrel and the second has an outside tube with a shifting one inside.
You have to focus the lens with the larger extension...
[QUOTE=arri;1625060]
Single lens elements are not colour corrected which means that I have to reduce the found sharpness of the groundglass by a formular like this:

Does anyone know much about the workings of Mattioli shutters? The one I have fires at one speed but the dial and knob at the right of this photo don't change anything. The knurled knob on the...

I used to have an Instagram account. I deleted it once Facebook bought Instagram. It was a cute forum for sharing smartphone photos until Facebook got hold of it.
It's now morphed into something...

Scroll about halfway down the page (a few paragraphs down) for mention of the new printing of Examples .
Drew, thanks for mentioning that. I just looked up that west ridge expedition, it very interesting. I see Thomas Hornbein published a book about the expedition.
Back to helicopter flights, I...

If people want to achieve that look that a digital camera will have simpler workflow and even a smartphone camera will do very well without the hassles of LF + scanning. Something similar...
