Multiple inquiries lately about the C330, latest while on a helicopter operation. Lately I have found a new corallary while carrying my Graflex RB: "Is that a Brownie?" I get that one a lot, too.

Thanks. Michael. They'll be thee for a couple months. If you do make it maybe you could snap a few digitals and send them to me so I can see what it looks like.

My C330 sees a lot of use. The f/2.8 80mm is particularly nice for low-lit situations. I have a prism and handle but haven't used either in a while - too bulky. The TLR is normally my secondary camera and I carry it on a strap around my neck.

Thanks!

Tim's the one to learn it from, no doubt.

Thanks, Matt. I'll check it out. But I still refuse to watch TV.

Thanks, Christopher! Can you send me an email? I don't have access to my main mailbox right now.

Do the sparkles count for nothing these days? I'm so far behind the times...

Thanks for the interest! I'm curious to know how it's presented, maybe you could grab some shots? I was in Miami earlier in the year and won't be able to make it this time.

Thanks Matt! I know nothing of the show, but clearly it must be good.

It's a fantastic book for anyone interested in lith printing, either doing their own or viewing the work of others.

This nut-job, apparently:

Kool! I have one, they're a kick. You can also find a lot of good info on the Graflex Reflex forum: http://graflex.org/helpboard/viewforum.php?f=11

Actually I think I might be able to repurpose a wildfire blanket. It wouldn't be quite as resistant what with the holes and all, but better than nothing.

I was thinking about the gold foil insulation on the landing module, not the visors. But then clearly I'm no rocket scientist, that's a different application entirely. Gold is a very good thermal conductor inside atmosphere! It'd still look pretty nice as it heated up, though.

Thanks, I had been thinking about the moon trip from recent threads. I remembered the part about the cold but wasn't sure how hot it had gotten. Of course now that I think about it that's what all that gold was for. Maybe I should get a gold camera. You know, for art's sake.

I'll be well-insulated. The cameras will not be. Not unless I can jimmy up some sort of housing.

My intent is to stay cool enough to avoid any physical damage to the gear and film, I just wasn't sure if the high temps would cause any chemical changes that would not be obvious (I know it's too hot if the emulsion bubbles or the plastic melts, but is that all I have to worry about - physical...

Does anyone have any practical experience on the high temperature limitation of films? I have the opportunity to reach many hundreds of degrees and was wondering at what point the heat will have an effect - I would imagine there's a range of possible effects depending on the temperature. This is...

I took a look and couldn't find the supplier. Basically I just a google search for the pin connections I was looking for and waded through a few online catalogs. You should be able to find something that fits.

I prefer working with a view camera on static subjects even when movements are not required because I find it easier to compose and light on the larger ground glass. For me it makes it easier to avoid any little surprises. I still shoot a lot of MF for convenience, but it always feels like a...

I don't have any info on the cable release but I was able to rewire the shutter/lens cabling using parts I got and assembled from an online supplier. I don't have their info in front of me but will try to remember to look it up later for you.

Handheld 4x5 can be a lot of fun. This past weekend I shot 78 sheets of 4x5 in an hour using both a Crown Graphic and Graflex RB handheld. I had a C330 around my neck but never got a chance to use it. Exposing film is the easy part, developing it all is a killer.

That's unfortunate. I have work in the collection, I wondered what would happen to it when things went bad.

I meter at 25 and let sit for a solid minute just for kicks. It's somewhat temperature dependent and I prefer being safe to sorry.

I do a good amount of handheld 4x5 in available low-light conditions. In addition to pushing film there are two options I can recommend. One option is a faster lens. Focus gets tricky, but if you know your distances and practice you'll get the hang of it. The second option is to brace either...

I use a C330 one-handed all the time. I've got a 135mm, an 80mm, and a 55mm. Haven't run into those issues yet. Being able to swap lenses can be a real plus sometimes. Add "have a beard" to the list, making me three-for-three.
