This is good general advice... buying goods or services via a 3rd party always carries far greater risk. There could be some amount of money saved, but when there is a problem, that money saved may end up costing quite a lot more.

I’ll take the 16mm. PM incoming

I use an app that measures distance and walk it to the subject. I happen to use this one but there are probably loads of others... https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tape-measure/id1271546805 They're not perfect but for what is ostensibly, a landscape camera, I really just need to know if the...

For any future owner... I made my own 6x12 masks with some laminated paper with flocking material stuck on either side and they work great. Once I verified my knob markings were reasonably accurate, I found focusing easiest using my phone to approximate a distance and making sure I have enough...

Ahhh... so the ring was wound on backwards and I repeated this error. Thanks!

I recently acquired a 210mm Schneider lens in a Copal 1 shutter without a lens board. I picked up a Linhoff style Copal 1 board on eBay but the hole seems excessively large compared to the shutter's threaded diameter. I didn't measure but there's probably 1.5mm of play all the way around and...

Bump, accepting offers for the fuji

I've gone through many trials and tribulations trying to get my negatives dry and clean without spots, scratches or dust. I settled on a very specific routine that works for me and it involves a Yankee sponge squeegee. I do have ONE VERY SPECIFIC rubber one, an older Vivitar branded thing, that...

The baseboard isn't gorgeous but it would be easy to refinish. The whole thing is currently disassembled but I...

2 rolls of T-Max sold. Accepting offers for the Fuji.

Trying to save up to purchase a 4x5 camera and so the following film is for sale: Kodak T-Max 100, 100' roll - Expired 09/01 - ALL SOLD This film came from a shop that was liquidated and based on the 1 box I'm keeping and have tested, it seems perfectly fine to me. I've attached a sample...

I think it’s probably not a flare issue, i think it’s probably a fogging/light leak/internal reflection issue of some sort that I initially interpereted as flare.

Finally got around to getting back to this camera and thought I should update this thread for anyone searching. It seems like the "flare" problems are coming from the prism finder. I wanted to shoot this thing again and noticed just looking through it in the house that I was getting weird...
