What's CRC stand for? (I've got the same rattley 40mm Distagon C problem)

Glad to hear of your success. Well done and enjoy using the camera, Jack

Mark, Sorry to take so long to answer your post. I had exactly the same thing with my Belplasca; while I had it apart I simply, bent the piece of metal that the shutter cock button is mounted on. A crude fix, but it’s worked fine for my camera. HTH, Jack

Cool! I especially like the rewind crank. Rewinding with that thin knob is a bit of chore. My only reservation is that the camera will no longer fit in the ERC; I do like the portability of the cased camera. Jack

Hello Ian, Sorry to have been so long replying. Love that TL120 of yours. My medium format 3D work has ground to a halt for want of slide mounts. Neither the Holga nor the 3D World mounts are available anymore, and I've got a backlog of film to mount! Where do you get these cardboard mounts...

I view 35mm "digital slides" with a Realist Red Button viewer. I think the magnification is about x6 or x7, and they are coated achromatic lenses, so very demanding on the image.

Yes, I've got a Adaptec AHA-2940WCI SCSI card in the PC, and I run RasterPlus which requires a dongle. The dongle came with the film recorder. It all works very well. MOPS do a film recorder driver that doesn't need a dongle, and I think I tried it once, but I usually use RasrerPlus.

Iandvaag, Clearly you are more knowledgeable about imaging than I am. I have not tried adjusting the monitor image as you have; I just assumed that a monitor would never have the colour gamut of the film recorder. ...and in any case, I haven't got a 4k monitor, so the sharpness would never be...

My Agfa PCR4 self-calibrates and the results look fine to me. It has a LUT for each film type (about five, if I remember) and I've tried them all! The LUT for Agfa Optima 125 gives the most faithful results; the 1/3 stop over exposure is inperceivable to me. I usually struggle to fill a 36...

Hello jsmoove, Sorry for the delay; e-mail me at my junk address jackcolbran@mail.com, then I'll reply from my personal e-mail address; that will keep the spam at bay. I've just cleaned the optics of my Agfa PCR4, so I want to put film though it to see how good the images are. If you send me...

Hello jsmoove, No, sorry the film recorder is not for sale, but I'd happy to put a film through it for you. What is it you're hoping to achieve? Why do you want to make a 35mm negatives or slides from a digital image? I use the film recorder for making 41mm x 101mm 3D colour slides; no one else...

Me too Roger! Did you ever get a response?

jsmove, is this thread still live? I’ve got an Agfa PCR4; a 4k film recorder. That’s 4096 x 2730 pixels. I drive it from a modern PC with a SCSI card. Of any interest?

Is this thread still live? My Alto has developed a fault so I want to buy another one. Regards, Jack

Ooops, you already made the calculation. Sorry, I read your post too quickly. Jack
