Hi all, I was wondering if you could help me with a dirty lens... This is a 180mm tlr lens that belongs to a Mamiya C2. If you can see close enough, it looks like gunk in random lines. There's also a few beads of condensation smack dab in the middle of the glass. This is at the back of the lens. The front is very clean. So, basically, I have two questions: Is it fixable? Is it worth getting it fixed? Thanks for all your help!

Great help, thanks a bunch! Ah, australia, love that place. Could go for a flat white right about now...

Hi all, I've been getting into long exposures with my Mamiya RB67. Would any of you be able to give me pointers in terms of how to set a RB up to shoot nighttime starscapes? What film, what lens, how long, etc.? I have a 50mm and 90mm lens. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

So I dropped $100 on a B+W F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer MRC Filter... I include the whole name because when I received the item, it made the point to say "Digital" on the package. I'm shooting film with an RB67. would this make a difference? Also, should I be wary of digital filters when buying ND filters? Thanks for all your help

<p>Wow, thank you! I watched several videos, all of which neglected to mention that. It helps tremendously. </p>

<p>Hi all,<br> I just received a Mamiya RB67 ProS in the mail. It looks and works great. I'm beyond excited to own this camera. The only problem is the shutter won't fire when the film back is on. I know about the dark slide trick, so it's not that.<br> What I've concluded is that the nipple on the camera that protrudes to the film back is being blocked by a small, black metal tab.<br> Anyone know how to stop this from happening? I can describe better if needed.<br> Thank you all very much!<br> </p>

<p>I too just acquired one of these. It's my first TLR (only 20 bucks). It's biggest problem is the shutter speeds are all off below the 1/50. I'd be interested to see your test shots. I should be getting back my first test roll tomorrow. <br> I'm sorry I can't answer your question, I'm also scouring the internet for info on this guy!</p>

<p>Hi all,<br /> I recently came across a Petri FT1000. I'm looking for someone to repair its shutter. It's "capping" at speeds of 1/500 and 1/1000. Also, the timing of the low shutter speeds are all off.<br> <br /> I can't repair this myself but does anyone know a company/person that can? I've looked everywhere for someone that can repair Petri cameras but no luck. It's a really nice camera and the photos that did come out are nice.<br /> Any help is appreciated!</p>
