Let's put it this way: it's better than saying "minty" or "A++++++". And it's to their advantage, anyway. There are too many people who will return a fully-functional item simply because it managed to get a couple of scuffs in the past 75 years.

Absolutely. They're rating to a standard, and everything I've had from them has been better than the rating. I've got a few BGN and UG items that look better than they would if I'd bought them new and used them carefully for a couple years...
 
A few years ago I bought a KEH “as-is” Sinar F1 for $25. It works fine and is in good condition, though not perfect. KEH used to consistently under rate the condition of stuff, and sometimes they just mis-label the condition like on my F1.
 
Arrived today in the mail...Gamblin burnt plate oil #2 and 5 yards of medium tarlatan for wiping plates.
 
Nikon Z7 II body and Nikon FTZ Mount Adapter for Nikon F-Mount Lens to Nikon Z-Mount, both in LN- condition from KEH.

I've had that camera and adapter for over a year now and like it. I'm keeping much of my f glass. I spent this rain weekend with Steve Perry's auto focus book and remapping buttons.

Which type and which size memory cards do you recommend? For the largest data storage?
 
I've been using Lexar 128 GB SDXC II 150 MB/S as I don't do long bursts or hi def movies. The fastest transfer is to put the SD Card directly into my Mac. CF Express B prices are dropping and I am looking at getting one as they are much faster and allow long bursts but they require a special reader. If you don't shoot bursts or movies SD Cards are fine. I am shooting the highest quality both Raw and Jpeg so I get about 1500 pictures on a 128GB card.

The SDXC II cards have more contacts and a higher transfer rate than SDXC. The Z7II has those extra contacts so get the II cards.

There are Gigabyte cards so 12,000 full res pictures in 2 formats.

So I can use twp CF Express B cards. What is the largest size I can use?
 
One CF Express B slot, one SD slot, you can use either or both. You can write everything both cards for backup or use one as overflow. So far I've only used a single SD card. SD cards max at about 1 TB and CF Express at 4 TB so 60,000 photos in 2 formats on 2 cards but the Cf Express card is $1400- $1800. 4 TB is bleeding edge and I try to avoid that.

JAMOM Just a matter of money.

The Z7II can hold 77 full size Raw images in the buffer so I went with SD cards for which there is a slot on my Mac. The Z7 is CF Express only with a smaller buffer. CF is faster/more expensive but prices are coming down.

I bought a Westcott 80 WS on camera strobe, $60 off, as I did not have one. It has a built in transmitter to back up my FJ-X3m transmitter which triggers my 3 Westcott monolights as well as my power pack strobes.

I also got a Bowens style snoot with gels and grid for $20. I wasn't going to spend the money but with the B&H card there's no tax and no shipping.......

Thank you. That is exactly what I wanted to know.
 
I received all this film from one of my subscribers in Switzerland! I've never used Agfa films, and I can't wait to try them, as well as the 4x5 Adox CMS 50 Art!

I have this on the way. Process upto 100 feet of 35mm or 70mm (2 different reels) has 3 tanks and loading stand. I have one of these loading stands and a couple smaller reels it works great. Just couldn't resist it. FedEx says it weights 58 pounds 😊 😳

I have the smaller "G" version that takes up to 18 feet of 35mm film in 7" tanks for processing. Just the right size for processing 100 frames of 35mm off my Canon FN100 back.

Folks - this is in an analog equipment sub-forum. Film related please.
Feel free to start a similar thread in a more appropriate digital forum.

I have that setup as well, it works perfectly for the 70mm cassette loads. I just figured I would never see another.

That's great, nice people!! Although you international Influencers can probably afford all the film in the world 😁 I always enjoy your videos.
Best Regards Mike
