Beautiful Dan!

Thank you Dan for the clear illustration, I can’t believe how much the SINAR cable releases are asking for on eBay!

Thanks Dan, I will look out for a compendium. Perhaps when I find a Peco junior it will come with one :wink: I’m interested in a cable release, even if not a double one. But they are of course almost impossible to find! You have mentioned previously that you were able to custom make one, can you...

Thanks Dan, I’ll keep my eye out for a longer rail! I’m excited to experiment with this new unique beauty. It’s days of sitting on a shelf are over :)

And thanks Orientpoint, I for one welcome our Graflok overlords!

I recently added this weird beauty to my stable. I purchased it from Flints in the UK. It appears to be a mongrel made from at least two Makifkexes and a PX1/08 literally grafted on. The Makiflex front standard has been removed. The tilt shift standard bellows has been screwed to the front. A...

Mine came with a rubber protector around the glass. Thanks for the inspiration, I can’t believe how much better it is for focus!

This is most excellent news!

I have emulated Dan and successfully mounted a Mamiya RB67 chimney finder on my Makiflex. I chose to leave the light meter intact, and now I have a built in working light meter! I ended up getting a very reasonable deal on this photodiode chimney finder on ebay - only $70USD. I then...
