Circa 1930's Certo Super Dolly with a very sharp Zeiss lens that could be used for 6x6 or 645. It did not have a range finder so one has to estimate the range.
I amortize the cost over the owned life and consider it just part of the cost of the hobby. Buying another body would mean that I would have to have it checked out and needed service would need to be paid for unless I bought it from KEH.com or Samy's Camera. I do not need to buy someone else's...
I was given an earlier version Cotton Carrier System G3 Grey Harness For 2 Cameras which I will only use for one camera. I removed the waist level camera attachment.
I am planning to use it with the Nikon Z7II with the Tamron 150mm to 600mm AF VR zoom lens with or without the Tamron 2x...
Dry gin Martinis for me. Stirred not shaken. Shaking kills the botanicals, ruining the drink. Never vodka which has no taste, just like James Bond who got it wrong twice. Actually Ian Flemming had it correct in his first book and then proceeded to screw it up in every book since.
loss of trust or interest the public has in photography is the major concern for me. That is why I have posted about what I call the truth of the negative. I won a court case when I showed a photograph and the judge asked if I had the original negative. I pulled out a PrintFile sheet with the...
While I have not purchased AppleCare+, I have called into Apple for support with my mid 2012 Mac Pro Tower and after being told that my machine is obsolete, the Apple technical support person proceeds to help me. The other day the Apple technical support person could not remotely see my screen...
One does not have to stop using film for photography. I use ISO 400 film and when possible I request hand inspection for CT scanners. I can also have the film developed and printed be for flying back to the US if I think it is necessary. On the other hand I will use digital photography in...
The irregular negative shape is an indication that the film back itself is out of alignment. It needs to be placed in the Hasselblad tool jig [by a Hasselblad trained repair man] and adjusted and realigned to factory specification. I have needed that done to several film backs that I had...
I had a purchase scam used artificial intelligence against me. When I disputed the credit card charge, the scammer claimed that the package was delivered and signed for. But there was no delivery. There was no signature provided mainly because there was no signature. The scammer submitted a...
Welcome to Photrio
I started with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera, later was given an inexpensive German TLR, then a Voigthlander Vito II 35mm rangerfinderless camera and then settled on a Minolta SR-7. For decades I used Minolta SLRs upgrading occasionally. Then in 2004 I moved to Nikon N75...
Soft lenses correct focus but not astigmatism. Hard lenses can correct astigmatism which is you your ophthalmologist has achieved that success for you. Enjoy that success.
Being a specialist is a good thing, especially if the specialist is a factory trained Hasselblad repair person. Will this become yet another Hasselblad thread?
My first computer was a 1984 Max 512. Eventually I added a daughter board with a 68030 and a math coprocessor. It worked well but got confused when it received files in color. Later I repurposed it as a data server for my other computers. Yes it was slow but it did that job until I retired...
