Just curious if you accounted for reciprocity with the exposure. Rollei films have some unpleasant reciprocity curves, and exposure times can increase rather quickly. I have definitely had IR shots...

The question about art and pornography has persisted for a long time and will likely continue due to changing tastes and cultural mores.
The surrealist Hans Bellmer shot a series of photographs...
This is awesome! I have a friend working on her MFA in Nebraska who is trying to build a "Super Sight" based on Abbott's writings and schematics.
I had this exact problem with my Cambo when I first started shooting, and Doremus is correct in how to fix it. The front standard is usually the culprit and needs to be taken of and turned around 180...
Thank you everyone for all the advice! My friend managed to get the spacer out and is going to file it down so that it does not interfere with the shutter mechanism but still provides protection from...
Thank you for the tip, Tracy. We've tried to remove it, but it seems pretty well sealed into the shutter opening. We shall also try that.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will try that.
Several years ago I bought a 240mm g-claron in a copal 1 shutter from Adorama and the shutter was listed as being stiff. The speed setting ring was tight but workable. A friend of mine who has...

That sounds exactly like my lens/shutter combination down to the numbering on the aperture scale. Thank you for the confirmation!
Hello
I just purchased a 180mm Symmar-S in a Compur 1, but something seems off with the aperture scale. It seems to have the correct large aperture of f5.6, but the scale tops out at f45. The...
Beautiful image of the St Martin's train station...brings back good memories of taking my daughter to school early in the morning
I might have missed it in the quick read I gave through the length of the thread but a few things that might help.
1. If available look up the published object to lens distance as well as the...
The textures are incredible. Are you a Magnum photographer?
I've been shooting with a 240mm G-Claron for a while. While only single coated, it performs well both at infinity and at macro ranges, depending upon your bellows draw. The literature lists it as...
Hello
I was curious if folks here have had any experiences with Sirui tripods. My Manfrotto 475 is becoming too heavy to lug around, and I've been looking at the Sirui W-2204 or R-4214X as a...
Also, depending on the type of Cambo, the front standard can be reversed to bring the lens closer to the film plane, which comes in handy for 90mm lenses, and might help with your 125mm. It's the...
Going to try to get up to NYC later in the month to see your show. It looks wonderful!
This might sound odd, but you might want to check that the elements of your loupe are screwed together well. I have a Rodenstock 4x loupe where the elements sometime get a little bit unscrewed with...
I have used a Schneider 120mm Makro Symmar for close up work around 2:1 or so. I assume the 180mm/5.6 version of the same lens would render an equally sharp image. The specs for the lens show it...
Just doing a basic google image search, it looks to be a #7, similar to the one listed here. HTH
This event has been funded!
Thank you to anyone and everyone who donated! If you're in the area in December, please swing by the Crane Arts Building to see the exhibit.
The Halide Project, a startup traditional and alt process group in Philadelphia is putting on their first show and generally getting off the ground.
The Kickstarter is located here:...
Thank you, that's actually very helpful. If I'm reading you correctly it would front weight the camera enough to cause problems.
And I realize that the image circle far exceeds the film...
I am in the market for my first field camera, probably a Shen Hao, but was curious if the front standard would be able to bear the weight of a 300mm Symmar-S that I use on my rail camera.
Is...
I know a few folks who are also in a darkroom class I take at the Fleisher, but I will hunt around for others on the site :)
Soooo...I've been lurking around here since January when I acquired my 4X5 camera, a Cambo SC, which came with a tripod and most everything to get started. Truth be told I haven't shot much LF...
