I am always hesitant to comment on anything that relies on the actual lens design since I do not fully understand any of it. One has to read back and forth among the various Wollensak catalogs to ferret out the possible designs of the 159mm. There are a couple of years where that specific...

@John Wiegerink I can't remember who made the most recent wide for 8x10, the Nikkor SW 150mm or is there a Schneider Super Angulon XL ? At any rate, I was happy to pay what I paid for my Wollensak vs what the other options would have cost me. @abruzzi The Burke and James "unbranded" or...

I've had a couple of missteps in the classifieds lately. I had a Hasselblad winder show up to the buyer d.o.a and I advertised and sold a 5x7 camera as a 4x5. Whoops. It also occurs to me that certain lenses end up creating a lot of fuss/comments when they are brought up in a thread. Should...

Fujinon lens is sold. We're back to camera body alone.

I'll kick you a pm.

OP. it's simply missing the line that indicates which aperture the ring is set at? Many folks use a spotting sized brush #000 and model paint color of their choice when marking focus helicoids. I've heard other folks using liquid paper for the mark. If you can determine that the lens doesn't...

A company called Pangolin Gears makes some nice 3d printed hot shoe film tags. I also sometimes write on my rolls of 120 (this is likely moot if sending film out for processing) Sometimes I have the foresight to take pre-exposure notes and some actual exposure notes. Sometimes I forget...

In the case of the recent Adox Rodinal (I am using this stuff as well) perhaps we should decant it into a glass bottle as maybe that slightly frosted plastic bottle or its cap is letting in some O2? I have a partial going that is starting to form crystals. I opened mine in May 2024. I've been...

I didn't realize those were from last year. I also am not sure why I didn't simply look at the Kodak website. To me, they've created their own problem. A lot of those boxes are really similar. So yes @brbo the packaging design leaves a bit to be desired. The lot of it is all nice and...

Does anyone know fi Kodak will adjust some packaging now that Alaris is out of the picture? A few things look pretty similar and I could see a "disinterested" sales person grabbing the wrong box.

I hadn't heard this. I also own Imprints and A Handful of Dust.

Optech has a neoprene case that is similar to an ever ready case. It does not have a through fitting for a tripod, and only protects during transport. It looks to be out of stock on their website, but they are sold at a lot of places...

I stumbled into an Architects without borders art/book sale last weekend. I left with 3. 1 was an oddity called The Cannibal's Cookbook that I couldn't pass up The other was an older title, Bridges;The Spans of North America with photographs by David Plowden. I enjoy his work, and had not...

it looks like there have been 4? versions of Cape Light New York Graphic Society 1978-79 Beach photo on cover Bullfinch 2002 new expanded edition. Photo taken from a porch on cover Aperture 2012/2015 I've seen listings for the Bullfinch version showing 2 different covers. These are slightly...

Here's one. Digital capture. It could use a bit of help in some of the highlights. I haven't processed any film yet. Nice work @aconbere and @Bruce Butterfield
