Great, thanks!

Besides the LF lenses, I also have a bunch of Hasselblad V lenses for testing. What is the best way to do this? With body, without? Any pitfalls? Thanks, Stefan

Thanks. Some auto-range would be cool then, otherwise the best signal to noise ratio is hard to see as one expects a flat top when fully open...?

How does the sensitivity setting affects leaf shutter testing results? Mine was initially at 4 and gave results out of expectation, like 1/50 instead of 1/60 and 1/90 instead of 1/125, repeatedly. When I set the sensitivity to 2, results match and are only slightly off. I wonder now which of the...

This is super interesting, thanks Andrew! Can you buy those higher resolution B/W LCD screens without an UV source as plug-and-play without the need of an adapter to a PC or so? I still use my trusty 30 years old skin-tanner as an UV source and wonder if I can "just" place an LCD in between...

Dear all, I have the following task at hand and need help: I need to remove the counterweight spring from a Durst L1200 column and need mount it on another L1200. Does anybody ever did that without getting hurt? The swap would include the aluminium case where the spring is mounted in and the...
