  1. Thanks, everyone for responses about 8x10. Something for me to think about and make some decision. Thanks for the lead to another forum too.
  2. Hello, forum! As a hobbyist, I have an idea to construct Large Format camera 10x8" / 25x20cm to shoot slides. I figured I can buy sheets of Fujichrome Provia 100F in quantity of 20 sheets per package for the price approaching $500, which makes my hobby very expensive. I never bought such product before. Has anyone got experience doing large sheet slides? For example, if I made 5 shots and want to develop only those, how do I send exposed sheets to the lab? i.e. is every sheet in the package comes in its own light-sealed envelop? Really wanted to figure this out before spending first $500. Thank you in advance,
  3. I've just found an ebay sold item: 182438269788 on 29 Jan, 2017 from Boca Raton, Florida, United States Sold for US $349.95 BuyItNow Barrel reads 'Sonnar 5.6/250 Superachromat' So, I guess someone got very lucky.
  4. Thank you, Ed. You've just shared very valuable information with me. by the way, why you would not recommend non-T* versions. I remember seeing people swear these are as good, unless shooting against the Sun which is rare situation. by the way I never seen this idiomatic expression about papers blown away : what does it mean, sorry? :-)
  5. Hello forum. I've heard that 250mm Lens for Hasselblad V-series is mediocre: never achieves impressive image. I wonder if anyone tested below and if there any 'lesser of all evils' ? Shooting landscapes with it - mid-range and infinity focus is of interest... Which one gives best image quality in terms of sharpness / contrast / and with nice bokeh if viewed with 100% enlargement? Sonnar C 250mm f/5.6 (non-T*) Sonnar CF 250mm f/5.6 (non-T*) Sonnar CF 250mm f/4 T* Thanks!
  6. <p>hello everyone<br /> I am trying to do a google search but not finding anything useful.<br /> Does anyone recalls was the original street price of the PhaseOne digital backs when those were released ?<br /> I am interested in these specific backs:<br> <br />- PhaseOne <strong>P30</strong> (released 2005)<br />- PhaseOne <strong>P30+</strong> (released 2007)<br> <br /> Please share whatever country or currency information, I will do the conversion myself.<br /> Thank you in advance.</p>
  7. <p>'he' googled it and found :-)<br> <br /> part ID:<strong> 1516326</strong> - Holder Assembly, Brownie for the Epson Perfection <strong>V600</strong> Photo Scanner<br> <br /> just what I need for my odd 120-type with 6x18cm custom format<br /> thanks everyone for guidance!</p>
  8. <p>thank you, Peter.<br> article say "To scan, place the holder onto the scanner resting on the cardboard legs". So, can I ask what is the thickness of the legs and what is the thickness of the glass, so I can understand what is distance from scanner's glass to the film?<br> or you did not care because you user not-V600 scanner that can auto-focus?</p>
  9. <p>thank you, John. if you have such scanner model V600 - do you mind measure your film holder distance to glass with calipers? If this is not too much of the trouble, please ?</p>
  10. <p>I’ve bought Epson Perfection V600 scanner from ebay from seller who ‘conveniently forgot’ to mention that all film holders are missing. Frankly, auction price was so low I don’t want to return scanner back to seller.<br> However, I am shooting 120 film with makeshift 6x17cm camera, so it looks like I need ‘Brownie’ film holder. Also, I’ve got very limited budget.<br> Question to this scanner users: since I am planning to make a film holder myself either from paper/carton/black PVC: do I need to respect distance from film surface to scanner's glass or just make it as near as possible and perfectly parallel to the scanner's glass?<br> Will V600 auto-focus or will it expect to find film surface at certain <strong>fixed</strong> distance? <strong>What this distance is?</strong><br> I am sure I can achieve it by adding layers of paper to holder's frame thickness… or am I living in illusions?<br> Thank you</p>
