Lynn Radeka's Precision Pin Registration Carrier System for 4"x5" film which I plan on using for 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" negatives. Now I am starting to learn the differences between the different types of masks.
It's mostly Efke aura, some Konica, some Rollei infrared, and a few rolls of Aerochrome. Maybe one of HIE left but I'm pretty sure it's hopelessly fogged now, as most of my HIE over the past few years has come out black (not clear) after development - the images are salvagable but only with bleach and toners to get rid of the grey cast. I also have 3 boxes of 4x5 Acros in Fuji Quickloads, which I bought when they were discontinued, thinking it would encourage me to shoot my Crown Graphic more often, but they're still there.
Here's an image of the last time I took inventory of my film stock (exactly 2 years ago) - most of the infrared film is at the far right of the image.

If you like the rendered image it is the best glass made. I found the negatives to be to be terrible, almost to a point that I wanted to throw the camera and lens against a wall, or take emery paper to the back and front element. Then, I remembered I had a friend who drank all sorts of KoolAid and he was drooling, so I traded. The LC-A glass is superb, I would say it surpasses the Zeiss Glass by a baker's dozen. If I knew you before 2 minutes ago and I didn't ship it a week ago I would have traded it with you. I was happy just to get rid of it.
I bought a Hasselblad and lens 2 weeks ago. I put a few rolls of film though it and found the lens to be distasteful and the camera too clunky. No idea why people like that camera, yuk!
I traded it with a friend for his LOMO LC-A. I put a few rolls through that, and found it to be a much better camera.
Are you sure it wasn't a Hasselblaski? Just joking. I use Kiev 88 on a regular basis and like the results I get. Sad when you get a camera with high expectation and are dissapointed. Regards.
No Kidding ! Makes me wonder about youOh well, no accounting for taste.
Not sure if this is a joke conversation but normally soviet glass is pretty good. It is said that Volna 3 80 f/2.8 is somewhat inferior to Plana C 80 but I've got mos of my Volna's for les that $60 while the Planar C 80 goes from $600 upward. Is it Planar C better Volna 3? Probably. Is it $500 better? well...
The tricky part about using soviet medium format lenses is getting a usable and dependable body, which is hard to get most of the time
Yes, Eastern European Glass is luscious so much better than that Terribladd Maybe a Kyiv 88 is in my future. Do you have one with a solid metal shutter or cloth? Pmount?
No Kidding ! Makes me wonder about you.
The secret's out why you never post any photos
I've seen some of them, in the "bypass the subscription only galleries" you've spent effort setting up, the few you have posted and I have seen look like the bubble level is broken.Actually I have posted some photographs including Hasselblad photographs, you just have to be smart enough to find them.
No you do not have a bubble level ? I would get one !No
Posting my photographs cuts my sales. Besides the few photos I posted got ripped off. Please post your photos so they can be ripped off.
No you do not have a bubble level ? I would get one !
Very sad to hear your hard work was stolen. That's not very neighborly asking me to post my photographs just so they will be stolen.
If I join, how am I or the other people who already post in the gallery supposed to take your comment?
Is that why you made all the threads that subvert the gallery so everyone who posts in those threads would get their work stolen, like you ? I hope not for this website's reputation, that's not very nice.
Yes I have a built in bubble level in the SWC.
Anyone who wants to is free to post on the Gallery; I choose not to.
A Fink-Roselieve FR Reporter with Rapax shutter and Wollensak 101mm f/4.5 lens. In very good condition and seems it's quite rare. Also bought 3 Burke & James Inc double dark slides, 2 1/4 x 3 1/4" Inches Cut Film Holders and they fit perfectly.
