Tachihara 4x5" doesnt accept modern film holder
maury_cohen replied to ramelli_serge's topic in Large Format
<p>I think that you're missing that the film holder slides underneath the glass focusing frame at the back of the view camera.</p> -
<p>Our Mini Trekker was discontinued almost five years ago, so those advertised as "new" and at super-low prices are almost assuredly counterfeit.</p> <p>Maury Cohen - Product Specialist, Lowepro US.</p>

645 help ....i cant descide
maury_cohen replied to andrew_spence1's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
<p>I also chose the Bronica ETRSi over the competition. After first purchasing the Mamiya 645 I realized that I preferred the advantages of the leaf shutter on the Bronica.</p> -
<p>The blurry image example appears to me to be due to camera shake, which is the most common cause of out of focus images.<br> We'd have to see examples of the other images you refer to, to intelligently comment on them.<br> There's a rule-of-thumb that one shouldn't try to hand hold below a shutter speed relative to the lens focal length; example les is 50mm, don't shoot below 1/50th sec.<br> If you truly believe the lens/autofocus is at fault, you'll want to take test photos in decent lighting, and with your camera mounted on a tripod.</p>

Gear/Film lever problem with Bronica ERTS
maury_cohen replied to carlos_garcia_martinez's topic in Medium Format
<p>You ARE removing the Darkslide from the film back, correct?</p> -
<p>Are you sure they sent the same serial # body back to you?</p>

Studio Assistant Responsibilities
maury_cohen replied to stephanie_pickard's topic in Business of Photography
<p>After graduating from Art Center in LA; my first job was as an assistant to a (then) well-known, ex-NY pro who had apparently burned his bridges back east.<br> While his first assistant worked "on the set", I was relegated to cleaning and loading film holders, cleaning, and running various errands.<br> First errand was to take his car to get washed and tip the washer ONLY if the results were spotless. Apparently his version of spotless and mine didn't match and he reamed me for tipping the guy. Next errand was to go to a lumber yard and pick up a selection of boards to be used in a product photo. Apparently I wasn't picky enough in my selection and he had another assistant return and replace most of the boards.<br> Last task was to deliver a paper bag to an address in Venice Beach. I sped over there in my own car and delivered the bag to the address provided. The guy who answered the door pulled a huge baggie of marijuana form the bag and thanked me!<br> I quit the job that afternoon. </p> -
I'm thinking of writing a book
maury_cohen replied to johne37179's topic in Casual Photo Conversations
<p>I'd be interested in reading your book.</p> -
<p>I used 120 film in my ETRSi 220 backs a few times. Not a problem; just keep count and manually advance after the requisite # of shots. </p>

Adorama still having 85mm 1.8 on backorder!! - Frustrated
maury_cohen replied to retheesh_nair's topic in Nikon
<p>I would not hold this against Adorama.<br> It's not unusual for a manufacturer to have difficulties of their own in supply, and the reseller is left in the lurch as to when the item may actually arrive.<br> If you're so frustrated and it's available from other sellers you should cancel the order as they suggest and buy it elsewhere.</p>
