  1. Hi

    I?m just got my Kiev TTL Spot meter prism (from eBay)

    After small adjustments (one f stop comparing to Kiev ground glass)

    I got equal results with Gossen Variosix F.

    It means I have prism viewfinder, 3X Lupe and integral meter for 62$

    plus shipping.

    Integral meter is accurate and easy to operate .Spot is giving wrong

    results - need adjustment or is not good for this application.

    I am very happy with this prism ? it is fast to operate and you dont

    have to ?stay on the head? to see image not up side down

  2. Thanks for all tips.

    Andrew thanks for self-gluing felt idea. Looks like hasselblad finders or Kiev TTl will by the best for this project they are el cheapo and easy to find. And probably with spot mode we don't need dark cloth-next pound of our back :))

    Thanks jp

  3. Hi John.

    I don??t now about you, but I like to make pictures instead of calculating f stop. If I can make all operation simpler and faster I am always happy. I don??t like throw to the garbage 10 bucks 8X10 slides because of some miscalculation either.

     

    ??There are Reflex Viewers for some cameras...like these: http://www.phootos.com/TCviewers.htm

    Oh yeah..you don't need one. ??

    BTH this finder price is higher then cost of my Sinar Alpina and Cambo SCX 8X10 together.

    Thanks for your help anyway and happy calculations??

  4. Hi

    In the process of finding some reflex finder to my LF cameras I got

    some idea (maybe silly??) What if I will buy some MF AE prism finder,

    like mamiya RB,or RZ.

    My idea is to use this finder as a 1. viewer with mirror ?V to fix up

    side down image.2 lupe.3 light meter. Dos it makes any sense? Did

    any of you try this idea?

    Best regards jp

  5. Hi

  6. Thanks Dan and Felix

    S/N is 9399255. Glass is perfect, so I am considering attach some handle to f ring and see after some time maybe will loose (if it is old grease)

    I will look on ebay same time for some shutter.

    Do you have any suggestions where to send for service and what is wart to pay for it? Thanks for all help.

  7. Even is hard to rich f16, I have to use all my force. So, for sure is something wrong. It is not like is going easy to f22 and rapidly stop. All the way 9-22 feels like old grease and I don?t have force to cross f22.

    I don?t want to disassemble lens whiteout any directions.

    I will appreciate any help.

  8. Please help my with my new lens problem.

    I just got this lens from box. Glass is perfect, but f-stop setup

    Ring is turning very tide - with my hand I can't go more then f22

    (from 128 scale). It is common problem? Do I have to send this lens

    for lubrication or cleaning? Or is some easy way to fix this problem.

    Thanks for any sugestions.

    George
