Noted. Still on the lookout for a Bronica 135W pano back. Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback. It’s helpful to know they are a legitimate seller. I do enjoy experimenting with different film stocks. I may try their pano back just for fun. I was really hoping to avoid cropping my regular 120 shots bit if I opt not to take a chance on this then I may wind up...

I may try that 3rd party back but I don’t like that it’s all plastic. 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s still a good deal cheaper I’ll give you that.

Hi Photriosians, Have any of you used this “xpan-style” 135w film back? I haven’t found any actual user reviews of it….only advertising from the vendor. https://elevanfilm.com/product/135w/ I see that it is a 3D printed, all-manual back that is a more affordable alternative to an Xpan or...

Hi JB. I’ve seen this website but I wary of it. I haven’t found any genuine user reviews of it. I also wonder how durable it can be considering its all-plastic build. But thank you just the same for the tip.

Great tip. Thank you!

Hi there. This is probably a long shot but I’m looking for a 135W, panoramic film back for the Bronica ETR system. Hoping to pay less than eBay prices. If you have one you’d be willing to part with, please PM me. Edited for clarification: I do shoot medium format film. I also want the option...

Hi there, I’m looking for just the outer shell of a Bronica ETR system film back…Preferably the later type with two latches and grey handle darkslide. To be clear, I’m looking for just the part of the film back that connects to the camera body directly. I have a couple complete backs plus one...

I wound up building a small box with blind ventilation to cover my router and modem. I made it out of black foamcore and black gaff tape. That works perfectly. Allows the gear to breathe and blocks all the light from them. Everything else I’ve just covered with several small squares of black...

Thanks everyone! I don’t see the last few replies before I purchased a set from us camera so I may need to use one of these other sources if that doesn’t work out well 😅

Thanks for the rec.

Ah now you’re reminding me of my childhood in the 80s when there were hobby shops that sold model airplanes and such. Although I did not think of the local indie-owned craft supply shop in town until now. I’m going to check them first and if that’s no joy then I’ll definitely go online. Thanks

USCamera was the seller of the poorly cut seals in the bad review I did find on here. That was also in 2019, however, so it’s possible their wares are better now.

Hi folks. I use a Mamiya M645 1000s, among other things, and the light seals need to be replaced. I searched the forum with keywords but found nothing recent. I found a thread with Jon Goodman mentioned as a reliable source of seals. I emailed him and he replied but unfortunately he’s not in...

One could argue that ebay is also more or less safe, albeit in a more roundabout way. eBay has policy protections for buyers. It may just take longer if a buyer has to open a dispute. If an item is received and is not as described in the original listing, it is the seller’s obligation to refund...
