  1. Hi all. IT's good to be back once in a while. On the plus side my classic camera collection is growing. I need help yall. I have just got a nice looking Reflex Korelle, but the darn shutter courtain/ tension is shut. It doesn't wind all the way and it's very sluggish when tripped. Do you know of anyone that is capable of fixing it? I tried Mark Hansen, but he said to ask someone else since he's never worked on this camera. He is one honest guy. So any suggestions?
  2. Ok so I'm not going mad trying to look for these. Makes sense. Thank you.
  3. Please to the list of subjects if that's what you mesnt.
  4. Hello, It is so nice to have time to post again. I was confined to my basement project for over a year. If posting videos on things is not allowed, please remove. Also, what happened to them fancy stickers we had next to our profile names. Like how many years one was a member and such...? Regardless, I got a box of glass plate negatives from local garage sale. If anyone is interested in a short story about them, here is a video I made.
  5. Dura lex sed lex. At the worst I will just post on Flickr and link here. Let's commence the work. I will have something if few days.
  6. <p>I got the Gray version. Very good camera. Give it a nice workout and it should loosen up. If not, Mark Hama it. </p>
  7. <p>Hello, being a member for nearly 10 years now. I dont want to just break rules when posting here. I know that P.net doesn't allow posting pictures that are not your own. Well last year I acquired a box of wet plates, developed and all, they start to slowly break down as the original owner didn't keep them in good conditions. Now that my basement darkroom is up and running after months of remodeling, I would like to know if I posted scans from these plates, would P.net moderator allow it? </p>
  8. Hello. I'm looking to purchase a process lens 15 inch minimum 24 would be nice. I had one few years ago and have sold it. Now I hope somone has one of these at good price.
  9. <p>I will tell you what, Anytime you work with chemicals at home you have to use caution. I make salt prints at home and I'm very good with cleaning stuff up, but one day, my kids ventured into my workshop and placed their little arms on the work surface, no worries here, all was cleaned up so no exposed chemicals plus I keep stuff locked up anyways. Next day, they play outside and my wife notices strange black spots on their arms. She's freaking out, so takes them to the doctor thinking it's an allergy to something. The doc puts on a mask and examines the spots - saying they they are on the surface so probably some kind of discoloration due to exposure to something. I come home and think hard about it. Do you know what it was? It was tiny specks of over sprayed 12% silver nitrate solution that when applying on paper with brush sprayed on the work surface and came in contact with their arms. They were then exposed to Sun's UV light and that exposed these tiny specks of silver nitrate. It's funny now, but we were both freaking out. Chemicals are as safe as you are. </p>
  10. <p>Stephen,<br> Nice images and nice writeup. I, myself, am a fan of Soviet cameras, but only own few examples. I find my FED2 very good camera and when paired with good lens, like Jupiter 8, life is great. <br> Thank you for sharing. </p>
  11. <p>Hello,<br> The camera is gone. It's going to Spencer Lange who PM'ed me about the camera. Enjoy!</p>
  12. <p>I missed you guys and this forum. I lurk sometimes, but not much time to post. I have been busy with photography, moving to new place and all other hobbies. Here I have a clean, good lookin' Yashica camera. I used it once and it seems to work, but it has trouble in low light situations- pictures come out very underexposed, where in outdoor light, they are just fine. Anyways to whomever posts first with indicated interest in it, it ships free to lower 48. If anyone from our international friends want it, it will be $20.00 to ship.<br> Thank you, </p> <div></div>
  13. <p>Nice camera and nice results from it. I am also a fan of soviet cameras. Welcome to the forum and post more, more often. </p>
  14. <p>If money wasn't an object here, I would go for Hasselblad 500CM with 80MM Planar *. If I was on a budget, Yashica TLR MAT 124 G. </p>
  15. <p>I love the article about men creating images with men made machines and that it was impossible. Nice post yet again. Thank you, Marc. </p>
