I just recently latched on to a Clean (considereing the age) and fully functiona l 5 by 7 Speed Graphic with a 1931 serial no., with a 1912 serial no. 180mm F/6. 3 Tessar that someone put into a Dial Compur. The focal plane shutter works, and has no pinholes, as neither does the bellows. The lens is clean. Looking forwar d to using. However, does anyone know of a good repair service that could clean and lubricate the focal plane shutter? Yes, it does work, but with the age of th e beast, no doubt could benefit from a CLA. Also, is Kodak Ortho a high contrast copy film only, or can it be used for pictorial uses. It is available in 5 by 7 sheets. Yes, I know there are plenty of panchromatics available, put am excited to try a ortho for a period look from that period. Thanks for any info.
