Ralf, follow-up on Second (and final) Sunday

<p>I'm glad we ran into each other again, gladder that you were having so much fun finding good (to your tastes, and you're the one who matters) stuff.</p>

<p>About pretty, pretty baby, take a look at 230937781498 <br /><br>

<br>

About Boyer, the definitive, so far, article on the firm and its products is <a href="http://www.galerie-photo.com/boyer-optique-objectif.html">http://www.galerie-photo.com/boyer-optique-objectif.html</a> (French) and <a href="http://www.galerie-photo.com/boyer-lens-optic.html">http://www.galerie-photo.com/boyer-lens-optic.html</a> (English). What Eric and I wrote isn't perfect so I hope that in the fullness of time someone in France will pick up where we left off and produce a more complete version.<br /></p>

<p>Dan - thanks for this post. Yup definitely had fun at the 2nd Sunday, but I must tell you, after 2.5 hours of going through gear, I started getting a headache, from all the commotion and abundance of items from various photographic eras, so I bowed out around 11:30 quite happy with my pickings.<br>

In a way, I am glad someone else picked the initiative to continue the shows. It was a good monthly diversion, that's for sure.</p>

<p>Thanks for that beautiful, Perigraphe, unfortunately someone snagged it by the time I got to it.<br>

Looks to be in quite good condition. I actually found the post where I had first seen a result from the Perigraphe, and you were one of the responders there: <a href="/classic-cameras-forum/00PbVl">http://www.photo.net/classic-cameras-forum/00PbVl</a>; :-)</p>

<p>I had mentioned Ajax D in our conversation, here it is from the flirckr post I have: <a href="

<p> </p>

<p>Ralf, thanks for the Ajax link. A propos of that sort of thing, if you're not acquainted with Sylvain Halgand's site http://www.collection-appareils.fr/carrousel/html/index.php take a look at it. It is very interesting.</p>

<p>About that Perigraphe. MINE MINE MINE! I'm the buyer. LaPoste's tracking system tells me that it has arrived in the US. Its serial number is 1 060 967, my 60's s/n is 1 061 286. I look forward to the 60's elder and larger brother's arrival. I believe there are several pictures of the 60 in my lens diary.</p>

<p>If you <em>must</em> have a 90/14 Perigraphe, here http://www.leboncoin.fr/image_son/406143420.htm?ca=12_s is 1 060 957. I bought my 60 from Daniel, found Anne's 90 slightly more appealing. I don't know how well you speak French; Daniel's English is excellent and he has a sense of humor. He shipped my 60 in a box for 8x10 paper.</p>

<p>Ralf, the Perigraphe arrived last week. Its lovely.</p>

<p>Today my 45/9 CZJ Goerz Dagor came back from Grimes in a cute adapter to #1. Time to try it out. I put it on a 2x3 Crown Graphic; it focuses a little through infinity, covers the ground glass with image. How good the image is is an interesting question. I expect it will be usable but quite as good as my 47 SA, but its cuter.</p>

<p>On the 6x12 project, the roll holder's fixed, all left to do is make a bag bellows. I have the frames and adhesive, have tested the adhesive and it adheres well enough, am waiting for the bellows fabric to arrive.</p>

<p>Until the next catastrophe comes along, things are looking up.</p>

<p>Të fala,</p>

<p>Dan</p>
