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?

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

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.
Yes they did! And a couple other smaller swing lens cameras as well.Did they make a 5" Cirkut camera?
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.
I was lucky enough to get a generous gift card from work colleagues, to be spent in a Belgium photography shop. Beyond the usual suspects such as film and paper, I'll now be trying Bellini C-41 home development and liquid emulsion from Foma. These are going to be fun times!
Lol!
After I finish the IR-200 I’ll start cutting and selling it. Wasn’t too horrible, $320, but still a decent chunk of change. Hopefully after about 300 sheets and 3 days of work I’ll break even.

I bought one of those Reveni Lumo meter to try out.
The size and features are nice. I'm not a fan of internal rechargable batteries. I've mostly used Sekonic meters for the last 10 years (308, 408, & 508) and one or two AA batteries have lasted as long as I've owned each meter. Remembering to charge the Reveni is kind of annoying. One thing I'd love to see is the ability to choose alternate shutter/aperture scales. The meter already kind of supports that allowing selecting whole stop, half stop, third stop for shutter and aperture, but shooting some lenses in very old shutter, it would be nice to select the 1/2/5/10/25/50/100 shutter scale (I know that thr shutter isn't accurate enough to show a real difference between 50 and 60, but its one less conversion to do in my head.) Really nice would be the fund non F-stop aperture systems since most of us don't have those in our head (Goerz, Zeiss, Dallmeyer, US, etc.)

I snagged this old tripod at the thrift store for 5$. One of the internal extension tubes has a light kink, which I should be able to fix, but it doesn't really matter as I'll use this one as a table top tripod. It weighs about 1 lb, is mostly made of brass & aluminum, and measures 25CM when closed. I've no idea where it comes from, as there's no "Made in____" on but I'm assuming it's either German or Japanese, and likely from the 60s.

I have a couple of these and they say "Made in Japan". There are variations on the construction; one even has a tilting center column that is geared. I think they were popular in the 1960's-70's as inexpensive accessories to push on the new camera buyer in camera stores.
Not a bad little tripod, but the legs are easy to kink and bend (as you can see from your example) if you don't take care when retracting the legs. Mine have a little wire locking pin on each extension that should be pushed in before collapsing the leg.
Good for display and tabletop with a light rangefinder, but fully extended it leaves a lot to be desired on anything other than a totally calm day.

Nikon 14mm f2.8.
I have not had an ultrawide since my 16mm f2.8 fisheye AIS.
I expect the same outcome.
12 months of experimenting then sell to the next user!
It's going to be fun and interesting.
I just wish I could use behind the lens filters as my Nikons are purely for black and white film work.
Any ideas how to put a filter in front of this beast?

Does my dad count? Evidently he decided he wanted a new camera and just bought a Nikon Z6 III with a 70-200mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.8 from Best Buy today. I knew nothing about this previously.Came out of the dark room and was suddenly bombarded with a whole bunch of photography questions, lol. At least he seems to have done some amount of research, he at least picked good lenses for his stated goal of portraits.
Being a good son, you should show him every single option and complicated way the camera can be used. When he gets frustrated, offer to take it off his hands (for free, of course) because you might be able to make use of it ...
Dude, I don’t even know what half of the stuff on this camera is for! It has all these weird automatic modes that do different things and the lens doesn’t have any focus markers or aperture stuff… I’m so lost!Being a good son, you should show him every single option and complicated way the camera can be used.

In all seriousness, though, it is a pretty neat camera. I’ve messed around with it a little bit and it is pretty nice to use. Not having the loud mirror slap sound and the feel of the shutter tripping is really odd though, not gonna lie.
