alpa 9d

I use a 240mm apo-nikkor on my 8x10. It more than covers .

i used alpas on and off a period of 10 years. they had best rewind i have ever used. the shutters were problematic. i had 4 alpas and and each one had problems with the shutter. part of their appeal to me was the way they fit in my hand.

an Alpa 9d. I had problems with it, and the Apo-Switar 1.8 wasn't very good at infinity. I went on to buy three more Alpas and had problems with all of them.

still better than thomas struth!

i still us i use orleans camera for my c-41. they do great work. regretably they no longer process 120

Hi, I have a 14 3/4 , 375mm f/6.3 Ilex Caltar for sale: 450 dollars. It is an Ektar design and is in excellent shape. The rear element has a very slight bloom that doesn't affect the image at all. If you are interested, you can either send me an email: 31416 @ comcast.net or call 508 487 8962...

I had the canon 28mm 3.5 Serenar ltm 3.5. It wasn't very sharp, especially the edges. Contrast was so-so. I was glad to get rid of it. Best of luck Peter

i have been using a 50mm coated sumar and find it sharp as a tack with beautiful bokeh. of all my lenses it has the most leica glow. it is a truly outstanding lens. another winner, in my opinion, is the 135 tele-elmar.

i had a 28/3.5 for my leica 2f. since it was my only lens, i got to use it quite a bit. it wasn't very sharp, especially at the edges. i don't recall getting a very usable 8x10 out of it. when, sometime later, i used a 28/2.8 for my canon slr, i found that lens very good. comparing a ltm lens...

sorry!
