Thanks for your reply

QUESTION for OCULUS NEW YORK

I am the proud new owner of a 6003 Pro. In one of your equipment photos you have the zoom lens with a tripod collar

Is that a Rollei lens collar...?? or what type is it

I am looking for long lens support options, the 250mm or 350mm

Thanks, Jesse

Tak,

Thanks that is just what I needed.

As I only have the 80mm lens at present which tube size would you buy first for flower closeups ??

I am not looking to have extreme closups of just the central elements of the flower, but some increase over the 80mm alone

Before you all hammer me on spelling

Rollie = Rollei

thanks, Jesse

So far I just have a 80mm 2.8 for my 6003 Pro body

I am looking to do flower macros

Any suggestions on favored lens and tube combinations for this type

of application ??

I will probably not buy the Macro lens

Is there a chart that tells how much magnification each tube add to

various lenses ? I have seen such a chart for Mamiya.

The 122 page manual for the 6008i does not have such a chart

Let me clarify.. the question is about the 6003 Professional model

I DO NOT have one in my hands, but I may soon and two different sources for the specs on this model give different answers

thanks

Question for 6003 owners/users

can one preview depth of field with this model ??

the specs seem to say no

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

What info is electronically displayed in the viewfinder of the 6008i

first version ? Is it just the illuminated dots for metering or

more ?

Same question for viewfinder info on the 6003pro

Thanks

John,

Neither. Mark's website also featured a device for my 617 camera

I was trying to track him down about that product

Victory at last

Old part number #54406 old style lenshood, new style #54405(with locking mechanism) Both avail from retailers like B&H

Thanks to all who replied

Well... my just arrived lenshood from B&H showed up as the old stlye version... NO LOCKING PIN.

Can anyone with the new version see if there is a part number somewhere on the lenshood

On close inspection of my first generation lenses there is a difference in the bayonet mount between the 30mm with the locking lenshood and the 45mm and 90mm On the 30mm there is a small gap in the raised ridge on the lensbody that the locking pin rests in

Thanks to all for the confirmation.

Now does anyone know from personal experience whether the new Locking hood performs this "locking" function on the first generation lenses?

Do I have to get new lenses, or just a new lenshood ?

Donald,

Thanks,

Is there a release lever on the lenshood that must be moved to rotate and remove the lenshood from the bayonet mount??

On my versions the lenshood is a bayonet mount, but it has no locking lever that prevents unwanted rotation

Are there newer versions of the XPAN 45mm and 90mm lenses that offer

the locking style lenshoods like the 30mm has

Does Granview cameras still exist as a company ?

I believe it was owned by Mark Cieslikowski

The website is inactive

Any leads to reaching Mark ? Thanks, Jesse

Friends,

Anyone have any hot leads on finding a Rodenstock Apo-Sironar W 210mm

lens for my 8 x 10 kit. I have tried the usual suspects

Any leads appreciated

Jesse

Can someone please give me the inside dimensions of the two

compartments of the F64 backpack

The B&H site appears to give only the dimensions of the main

compartment

Thanks

Jesse

Friends,

I am the proud new owner of a mint PME45. But it came without the

manual. Does anyone have the ability to make me a copy of their

PME45 instruction manual ??

I know I can get one from Hassy, but this forum is often faster.

This manual was not listed as a download from their USA site

Thanks in advance, Jesse

Thanks for the answers. I have CFE/ CFI lenses ( 80mm and 180mm)

Does anyone have suggestions for creating a quick focuslever for these newer lenses?

I know on my Leica lenses, one the ones without the focusing tabs people have come up with some very creative approaches

Are these still being made by hassy. I have seen some beatup ones on

Ebay

Anyone have any feedback on buying used medium format gear from

Walters Photo in the UK ??

Thanks

I own both the Xpan II with all three lenses and the GX617 with the 105 and the 180

The Xpan is quick and easy, even handheld, but tripod is still best

I have printed to 12x32 tack sharp

The GX617 is slow, like a view camera, I only use with a tripod.

I have a 7600 printer and have printed 20 x 55 inches

I cannot give either one up. I suggest the Xpan first then get a 617

Jesse

I love using my rapid focus lever on my PS 80mm 2.8 ( my only lens)

As I expand my SQ lens collection does the Rapid Focus Lever fit

on say the 180mm or the 50mm ??

Thanks

Jesse

Any leads of where to find a new or used version of this elusive lens.

I am interested in the 4.5 version only

thanks,

Jesse
