Has anyone any information or user opinions on the Gundlach

Perigraphic f5.6 lens? Its a convertible with a combined focal length

of 12 inches, rear element 20.5 inches, front 28 inches. Thanks a lot,

Chris Rini

Hello,

I took my C-4 lens apart to free up the aperture adjustment. Somehow

I upset the factory infinity calibration. Anyone know any tricks to

getting it back beyond ground glass and a jewelers' loupe? Thanks,

Chris

Hello,

I've got a couple vintage shutters that need CLA (Kodak Supermatic

and Argus C-4) and a couple that I'd like to get timed. I live in

Huntington Beach and would appreciate any recommendations for good

local repairmen. Thanks,

Chris

Hello,

I think I remember reading somewhere that one photographer got

emulsion pinholes when he developed Fomapan 100 in Rodinal. The

problem went away when he started using R09. Has anyone else heard

this story? Thanks.

front of our old dorm just before graduating.)

Hello,

I found a roll of ancient Kodak Verichrome (Not Verichrome Pan) in

one of my box cameras. Any advice for processing times and

developers? I know about Rocky Mountain, but would prefer to try my

own. Thanks a lot.

Chris

I don't have a darkroom yet, so I'm using cyanotype to make proofs of

my 120 negatives. The New Cyanotype process is said to have more

contrast range, but I've not tried it yet. Any suggestions? Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

I'm interested in moving up to large format and getting a Speed

Graphic. I'd like to do primarily landscape, architectural, and

portraiture work with it. I've used Graphics before and am familiar

with the pros and cons of Graflok backs, Kalart rangefinders, and the

rear focal plane shutter. What I am still confused about is the

differences between the front standards of Anniversary's and

Pacemaker's in terms of movements. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I'm curious about Fomapan 100 in 120 size. I loved Verichrome Pan

when it was available, and my current favorite is APX 100. What are

user opinions of how Foma compares to these two? Thanks.

Chris

I'm shooting 9x12 cm film in my Kodak Recomar, Efke PL100 developed

in Calbe R09. I'm curious about trying Foma 100, but I'm on a college

budget and can't afford to experiment much. How would you guys rate

Efke versus Foma for landscapes and indoor portraiture with tungsten

light? Thanks.

Hi,

I know of a Wollensak Anastigmat series V f6.8 lens mounted in an

Optimo shutter for sale. Its circa 1910 equipment, and I'm looking

for opinions on this lens and shutter. Has anyone had good or bad

experiences with these? Thanks a lot.

Chris

Hey all,

Would the Kodak (Nagel) Vollenda with an f4.5 lens have the same lens

as found on the American Kodak Vigilant Six-20 with the f4.5 105mm

anastigmat?

Thanks a lot.

Chris Rini

Hi,

I'm borrowing a Crown Graphic from a friend when I go back home for

Christmas break. I have no darkroom. Is there any way to process

large format film and prints without a darkroom of any sort? Thanks a

lot. Chris Rini

Hi,

I'm a college student with a beautiful Kodak Recomar. But I need 9x12

film holders to use it. Any leads greatly appreciated. Thanks. Chris

Rini

Glad I'm not the only one. I'm 22 and in my final year of college. I bought a Brownie Hawkeye as a freshman, have tons of box cameras, too many folders, and my Dad's Nikkormat. Probably my favorite user cmaeras are my Kodak Vigilant Six-20 with the Anastigmat Special lens and a Zeiss Ikon 6x6 Novar that I picked up in London last spring. Great to know that there are other young ones out there. If any younger photographers are into the old stuff, they're more than welcome to email me at crini@gonzaga.edu or AIM me at Athanasius80. Happy shooting.

Hi,

I've been playing around with b&w for a couple years but am finally

taking a photo class with darkroom access. They provide Xtol. My

favorite film is APX 100 in 120 size. Most people recommend using

Rodinal. Has anyone tried Xtol either straight or in dilution and if

so what were the results? Thanks a lot.

Chris Rini

Thanks a lot to the above gentlemen for answers and information. Since I posted I have yet to get a Premo, but I have picked up a Recomar 33. Should be lots of fun. Thanks guys!

Chris

Our old friend Verichrome Pan was discontinued last year. Has anyone

else found a film that seemingly can't be misexposed in a Brownie? So

far I've rather liked Agfapan 100 and Ilford Pan-F. Thanks, Chris

Hi,

Will modern 3x4 film fit on a No. 1 Premo for 3 1/4 by 4/14? Thanks,

Chris Rini

Hi all, I just acquired a No. 1 Kodak Junior with a Bausch & Lomb

Rapid Rectilinear lens. OD is about 23mm. Does anyone know which of

the old slip on Kodak portrait lenses and filters--if any--would fit?

Thanks a lot, you guys have been able to answer every question I've

had so far.

Chris Rini

Hey guys,

I just bought a Mendelsohn Speedgun model E with no flash bulbs. The

instructions say it uses either "midget" or "standard" based bulbs.

is there a conversion table or something I can look to know what make

and model flash bulbs I should be looking for? Its too neat a

contaption to not use at least once.:) Thanks guys!

Chris Rini

Hey guys, I found a Vigilant Six-20, shot a roll of film, and it came out really good. The camera behaved itself so I'm happy. Now I want to get a yellow filter and play Ansel Adams. What size Kodak filter will fit it?

Thanks,

Chris Rini

Hi Everybody,

I'm a college sophomore who's been playing aroud with various Brownies and Brownie wannabies (like those Ansco's) for about a year. I've just enrolled in Photographic Science, and I have to do a semester lab project. I originally wanted to do a daguerrotype, but 6 people already tried without any luck. Does anyone have a suggestion? Ambrotypes in a Brownie Hawkeye? Adventures with Verichrome Pan and Azo paper?

<p>

Thanks for your guys help and time.
