I’d very much like to buy the F2. I’ll send a PM.

Sorry it is an old thread. I use the Fuji GS645 and it has a good 5 element lens. I just bought a Certo Super Sport Dolly that has a Schneider Xenar. It is said that some versions of Xenar, including on the SS Dolly, are 5 elements, with the front element of the tessar split to two.

Alex, this looks great. I have a Weston Ranger 9 and hope to use your plans to get it running well. Many thanks for doing this.

What lens on the Walz ?

I have an Abrahamsson grip on my M3. Great grip. Self timer is mostly blocked though. Might be hard to find. Tom is not with us any more.

If it is focusing a bit closer than the rangefinder indicates at close distance, then check to see if the same is true at infinity. The Sonnars have some focus shift. If focus is too close at both close focus and infinity, then you just need a bit thicker shim. If you get focus reasonably...

What is the J3 doing wrong? If it is just front or back focus, that is usually easy - change the shims to a thickness that makes it better. Brian Sweeney had a tremendous knowledge of these and he used to post a lot of very useful stuff at rangefinderforum.com. However, he is not there since...

I've newly joined Photrio, but have been interested in cameras and photography for decades. My most fun find was a Nikon Zf. It lets me use all the old lenses I have, Sonnars, Jupiters, old Nikon manual focus and many others. I'm restarting black and white film developing this month with...

Hello MotoMark, I'd like to buy your Luna Pro SBC and spot attachement that you currently have advertised on Photrio. I tried to send a PM, but I have not been able to figure out how to do that. Maybe because I don't have enough posts yet. I have a long history at rangefinderforum.com...

I've got the 7Artisans 75 1.2. Although I have not used it a lot yet, it seems very good and well built.

Last was a Jobo reel for the 1520 tank and LegacyPro EcoPro developer from Freestyle

Bronica RF645 is my favorite medium format camera. Awesome finder, as good as Leica M3. Rolleiflex and Fujica GS645 and Fuli 690 II, and several Bronica C are great, but the Bronica RF645 is the best.

Weston Master 3. I bought 4 of them. It is amazing that they all still work well. You can buy one for almost nothing on eBay.

If you want to use an enlarging lens, the Nikkor 63/2.8 would probably work, and is a very good lens, and is not too expensive.
