TF-5, Permawash, Formabrom Variant 111 VCFB, aaaaaaand, brand new 8x10 trays. After 30+ years, the old ones were badly stained and could not be cleaned anymore.

(Anyone want some stained 8x10 trays?

I bought a Nikon F4.

I forgot I had a eBay sniper set up for something I had decided I wasn’t gonna buy. So… I accidentally bought 700 feet of 5” plus-x. I’m not happy about this.

Ouch. I see a lot of cutting in your future.

Well, should be popular for resale at least.

Did they make a 5" Cirkut camera?

Hi,

got me a f/4.5 12cm Leitz Summar for close up's in 9x12 (and future 13x18cm) format, plus an adapter (M36x0.75 to M40x0.75 by customphototools.com) to front mount it on a dial set Compur 2.
The Summar is a 6/4 design similar to a Zeiss Planar and only some of the elements are single coated, so I'll look for a hood next (33mm slip-on) to avoid flare.

Yup…

Maybe? Seems like Washi had a decent enough time with it at least.

Did they make a 5" Cirkut camera?

Yes they did! And a couple other smaller swing lens cameras as well.

700 feet of 5” plus-x

That would make 2100 sheets of 4x5". If you can rig something up that'll shoot those at 24fps, it'll take you less than two minutes to get through it all and you can then go back to doing other things.


Like processing that pile of film.

LOL!

Sorry though, I imagine it probably wasn't very cheap either.
