I have acquired Focomat Ic and looking for a timer. I do not know which are reliable(mechanical or electronic). But, my first choice is Jobo Time switch.

Any other good suggestion?

ik was mijn winkelwagen aan het vullen met adox papier, toen viel mij ineens op dat het papier veel duurder is geworden. eerst rond de 33 euro, nu ineens 43 euro?
Heeft iemand daar iets over gehoord?
In oktober is de prijs van zilver drastisch naar beneden gedaald van 1050 euro/kilo naar 730 euro/kilo.

Tov 1 jan 2011 is de zilverprijs 11% toegenomen.
De grootste toename is van 1 jan 2010 - 1 jan 2011 (van 400-700 euro/kilo)

Toename tov 1 jan 2010.
Zilver gebruik is ongeveer 2 gram per m2.
Dat is +/- 8 vel 30x40. Totaal is dus 6 gram nodig voor een doos papier van 30x40.
Prijstoename is dan 2,10 ((400/1000)*6) naar 4,20 ((700/1000)*6) nu.

Good morning.

A fellow engineer from the US has recently preseted me a Graflex Pacemaker Speed, 4x5 inches format, with which I'm having fun out in the field. It obviously came with its standard "normal" lens made by Wollensak.

I am now looking around to find also a wide angle for this camera, and at the beginning I thought that - seen the abundance of these cameras on the auction sites - it should have been a very easy task. All the contrary, I can't seem to find any wide angle lens readily available on Graflex' specific lensboard.

Is this condition normal, or perhaps I don't know the exact production name of the wide angles made for Graflex cameras?

What did other fellow owners of a Graflex 4x5'' do to expand their lens setup? Did you buy a spare Graflex lensboard and mounted a third-brand (say - Schneider for Linhof) wide angle lens on it?

Thanks for your insight.

Noones have money to buy the dyes for Autochrome. My only hope is photoshop. I attached a RGB Graph of 1907 Research from Wratten Company.
I want to manuplate a picture with it. Please someone step by step explain that how it is being done .

Thank you ,

While being an extremely sharp, if slightly slow lens, it covers full frame from 24mm to 55mm with no noticible vignette. I find myself shooting it at 18mm and just enjoying the projected image circle it gives. It all started when I put it on my F, and shot it at f36. I thought this effect was so cool, it was actually one of my motivating factors to buy an F6... I always wanted one anyway, but now I could control the aperature.

Just a thread to show you what this little "Digital" lens is capable of, and how it's useful for film photography. Lately I find myself pushing Tri-x to 1600 and shooting with either this lens or my 50mm f1.8D. Eventually, I'll be able to afford a 24-70, but until now... I can cover a lot of those focal lengths, at the very least.

The color photos are a mix of Kodachrome 40A and 64, while the black and whites are Foma 400 and Tri-X

I didn't see a forum for antique cameras. Since this does shoot 120, I thought I would post it in here. I just wanted to show it off. My sister bought it for me for a birthday gift. It is still in nice working condition.

Nikon 300mm f/4.5 AIS Nikkor $125.00
This is fun lens - best used with a monopod, I used to shoot my kids soccer games with it but, I think it might be useful for bird watchers too (?).
Mechanically this lens is in EX+ condition. Glass is clean and clear and the focus is smooth. Cosmetics are good. There are nicks in the paint on the built in lens hood.
includes original Nikon caps and the proper tripod mount. (The FM3A is definitely NOT included! :p)





Please include $12 for domestic shipping via US Postal Service priority mail. International shipping at cost. Figure about $25 to Canada and $35 to Europe. Paypal or Money Order from the US Post Office.

Just placed an order for a bunch of B&W chemistry. Although I have developed before in cafenol, I have never used true chemicals. I am really looking forward to it. I ordered 3 rolls of HP5, 35mm. Any special way you would recommend shooting this? I assume I will shoot one roll at box speed but I am undecided about the other rolls right now. My last roll was T-Max 400 pushed to 1600.

Hi y'all - This is a nice little Canon breech mount lens that has been sitting since I switched away from Canon years ago. It is a later 50mm f/1.8 D with multicoating. Glass is clean and clear, mount is perfect (as they always are!) and aperture is crisp and snappy, focus is pure butter. Would like to have it go to a new home. This is not one of my usual charity benefit sales, so offers of trade items are welcome. Buyer pays only actual shipping. Attached Images

Hey all,

Just wondering... I'm comparing the Superachromat 250mm and the "standard" 250mm CF-series lenses from Hasselblad. My end intention is to drum sc@n the transparencies and negatives(color + b/w, usually acros/tmx or tmy-2), and print optically(b/w is both optical and scanning, color is scanning only). Printing(lightjet for color, inkjet for b/w) to approx 20x20" square, possibly going to 30"x30". Not small enlargements, but not "huge", at least IMO. No larger than 30x30 size-wise.

So, from people who have USED, not just tech-heads please who can read a brochure ;), does the superachromat provide a marked degree of performance in terms of overall resolution, color fidelity and/or potential fringing(which I haven't experienced w/ my 50 CF/FLE, 80mm CF, or 150mm CF lenses as of yet...Obviously the "color fringing" is really only with color film(primarily transparencies; RVP50, E100G, and Provia 100f). I love my "APO" Red-Dot Artars for 4x5 and 8x10 work, but that's another matter altogether...

I do not plan on using tele-extenders, just the lenses by themselves. Just FYI

thanks

These are the 100x125mm (4x5") resin filters.
Bought the set from B & H (won't link, but product id# HI100GKIT2)...took the tobacco out of the holder to see its effect, then but it back in. The other two have never left the plastic holder. So...don't know to call this NOS, used, bought but not used, etc. They are in the condition shipped to me. Taking a look at the price on b&h and 2filter, it looks like new is/was around 240. So, to try and move these, how about 160$ shipped to US; 160 + (actual minus $8) elsewhere.
Thank you!

FS Rodenstock 250mm Imagon, Compound shutter in original fitted case with all colanders and lens hood - $640 + postage at cost - I will post anywhere

Very good condition, but no longer in use - I prefer the glowing follicle by follicle account of my Heliars for my current naked portraits also I am using 10x8" for this series

Pix available, well they will be if I borrow a digital camera

Found a good condition omega prolab 4x5 with Lenses and negative carriers. Only problem is it is missing the movable condenser. How hard are these to find and are they expensive?

Thanks Brian

This Christmas I want to give a instant camera for a friend of mine. She has been showing interest in film stuff and is usually borrowing my cameras to play with. She does not like the developing part of the process so she only uses C41 film that gets sent to a local lab here. I know very little regarding instant cameras, I see that there is a brand new one being made (Fuji Instax). How about the older polaroids? I know almost nothing about them and which are the ones with film left to use. Something that uses these kind of film would be nice as they are not that expensive. I guess something with manual controls would be nice, but that is not necessary. Thanks!

I have been researching the Horseman VH and VH-R. I had originally thought about purchasing a VH-R because I really liked the option of having a rangefinder to compose. However, I've just come across the Universal Zoom Finder and it looks pretty cool. I can see how it would be much easier (than the VH-R rangefinder) to view the frame (especially with longer lenses) but also very useful when deciding which lens to use. But, I can't quite see how one would translate reading the focus distance (on the Zoom Finder) and then setting the focus on the camera? Is there a distance scale on the bed of the camera perhaps?

Anyone who has the Horseman VH, I would really appreciate your feedback. I can't seem to find a manual online for the VH (only the VH-R).
Perhaps the Zoom Finder is only useful for deciding what focal length lens to use?

thanks
david

I usually carry some prints around with me when whenever I have my camera :p which is practically every day, to show friends I bump into, or people that I meet who are curious that I have taken their photo. I'm on the street a lot and do get asked a bunch of times about my camera and photos.

I like to carry a 8x10 or slightly larger in my bag. They get beat up pretty well. I have used thick cardstock backed versions, and now plastic versions because they are cheap and stain proof.

I need a recommendation on a nicer leather version, with good inserts. The problem with the cheaper versions like the itoya's are the plastic inserts get messed up so easily by just handling. It really affects the clarity, and makes it tough to view the print. I have also used a nice version by Prat, but again the corners got destroyed.

Something preferably with a good spine that can open flat too. And of course at reasonable cost, I would like to use it for a year atleast before I have to replace it.

Thanks, also what are everyone else's favorite presentation portfolio? And why?

Nikon 50mm F1.2 AIS for Nikon F mount SLR. Minty condition with original box, instructions, caps, and an original Nikon UV filter. This lens has not been out of its original box more than a few times. A superb optic.
