Well hello fellow photographers, I have been a medium format photographer for 45 years now. Have quite serious a collection of Hasselblad, Rolleiflex, Zeiss Super Ikonta folders and even a Kodak Medalist, do all of my own black and white developing and printing.
So here is the problem, I saw a Silvestri H camera with two lenses and a load of accessories for sale in Europe in December, I just could not resist the purchase. She came with 6x9 backs it can do 4x5 but I do not want to go there, too old now. I took interior images and was blown away with the systems quality and results. So two weeks ago we went away and I tested her outside for the first time. Yesterday I developed three rolls of 120 film the images with the sun behind are excellent but when the sun was overhead or even close to in front I have serious flare on the Schneider APO-SYMMAR 5.6/150 lens, a real surprise since I would have expected it from the Schneider SUPER-ANGELON XL 5.6/58 lense……….so I obviously need a lens hood for each of these. I do not want to buy an expensive bellow type, so I though of the old Hoya collapsing rubber lens hoods. The two lenses are using 58mm and 67mm filters, Now B&H sells these collapsing rubber hoods but I have a strong feeling they are not going to work, since the 58mm is one wide angle lens.
So could someone please point me in the right direction please, as I am in a totally new area of this craft.
Cheers for now,
James.
