A bit off topic of the sale, but is there any way to contact Stephan Scharf directly, or get information on the holders without joining Facebook? I can’t find anything with a web search, yet. And are his holders for 120, with glass, any better than the glass Nikon one? I can’t see how, but then...

I wish I could access the proprietary cord which Leica used, or cords other companies used. The cord Sherry Krauter used in refurbing my Leicaflex was exactly the same as the original cord. Would be easier than some of the makeshift things I have tried coming up with. It was fairly stiff, and...

At one point in time some cameras did not use foam for light seals, they used a waxed cord. I think the Leicaflexes used this, at least the early ones. Easier to install, only need to cut to length and not width. Sherry Krauter used this when she redid my Leicaflex SL2 long ago. (Since stolen)...

Thank you for not mislabeling this process as “scanning”. The English language thanks you.

Pliobond has always worked perfectly for me, short term, or long term. Covering reliably stays put, yet if you need to peel it back later to access certain screws on the underlying body to disassemble the camera, without damaging the covering, no problem. Not sure if shellac would allow that...

The Sekonic Twinmate has markings for 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/200, etc, which the Digisix, and almost no other current meters have, which is why I stick with that one. It’s handy for those with really old cameras. Which probably don’t have shutters that accurate anyway, but whatever, I use those...

I’ve got an Arax and Pentacon Six that both work, but my main reason for posting is to second what one other person has hinted at, which is that there are a lot of superb lenses in Pentacon Six mount, not just the 50. And these lenses are superb in the realm of every lens every made, not just...

I just had a roll of 120 size developed, which I bought as soon as discontinuation was announced and have kept frozen ever since. It was a little bluish and pale, it wouldn’t project as well as fresh, but was well within limits for a hybrid technique. Just one roll though, so a small sample size...

I can’t believe this is still here at that price. People don’t understand how good these are? That’s a deal, though.

I saw the thread title and thought, “well, that’s got to be the F100, I’ll click on and suggest that.” It’s a lot of everything for $200. There’s Leica hoods that cost that much.

Huss, when you put it up for sale I thought it was a mistake. Ergos are a bit weird, but really nice lenses. Mine fits on all my Barnacks without issue, so I don’t think the problem with yours is inherent to all of them. Maybe just needs some time with a thread chaser?

Just sold, thanks everybody.

Thanks, Donald.

For sale, $120 shipped, and I will cover Paypal fees. Still in unopened shipping box, so I don’t have any photos. I ordered this long ago, just showed up yesterday, and unfortunately due to events in the intervening time, I no longer have a 4x5 camera. Will just be reshipped to you without my...

Thanks, will try that instead. Only posted it here because I was already here, and thought this would be where those interested would be hanging out. But, you are likely correct.
