<p>Wow! I think this helps, thank you so much! I did not find it on the site before somehow, have it now, thank you, thank you, thank you!<br>

<p>I'm looking for a scanned owners manual for a Fuji GW670II that I can print off. Any ideas about links to one? I looked on orphan cameras web site and it looks like they only have 35mm. I found some on ebay but, I don't want to spend 15.00 or more for one. Any help would be great.<br>

thanks<br>

No problems, just a point of curiosity.

Thanks,

Jon

I have a Bettax ZeCa sport folding camera, can't find an owners manual for it online. Anybody know of a free one

scanned online? I checked Google and "orphan cameras" Hummmm. Any help is great, thanks!

Jon

I have just got a beautiful 532/16 Zeiss Super Ikonta 6x6 rangefinder with a

Tessar f2.8 80mm lens. Love the camera but, I don't know what size the lenshood and or filters

should be for this lens. I think they might be the push on style, not certain though.

Any help in educating me on this would be great.

Thanks,

Jon

I am not sure what the last question is about? But, I will say that after shooting the Canon F1 with a fresh battery for the meter (and it is a good replacement for the OEM battery), this camera works SUPER!!! Both the canon lenes the 50mm and the 135 work SHARP and beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all for info and support.

Mr. Oakes if you can help me understand your question please, than you.

Jon

Just a simple question. Will the Keiv lenses or film backs work on my 500c body?

Trying to save some $$$

Thanks,

Jon

Wow, thanks again great info-share! I will plan on using him if I need any service on the F1!

Peace,

Jon

Thanks for all your help! I got the manual, it needed the 1971 manual. This is a SUPER camera! The 50mm lens is nice (f1.4) is max f stop. and the shutter sounds right on, not sure though. I am running a test roll through it in some different light conditions. The 135mm lens that came with it is nice too. Has a pull-out lens hood. The 50mm has a nice metal hood that bayonets on. I have had Nikon Ftns and Fs and have always loved the Nikon feel but, I have to admit that this is a sweet camera. Plus it was given to me for free, can't beat that! If there are any issues with it where do you guys suggest that is goes for CLA / repairs?

Thanks again,

Jon B.

I just had a Canon F1 given to me and am very excited to use it! I would like to find an owners manual that I can

download and print. I found one on orphancameras.com but, it is for a newer F1 than I have. Mine has a rewind knob

that is made for a hotshoe attachment and has a battery plug on the bottom. The one they have a free manual for

has a hotshoe on top of the viewfinder and the battery compartment is located on the from of the camera body. So, I

think it is a newer one. Anyhow can anyone help tell me where to get a manual for the F1 I have?

Thanks!!!

Jon

Thanks to all for your helpful answers! I will continue to continue. I think I will just keep the F100. It is a great camera, and just save up for the lenes I want for the Hasselblad. I guess it is like taking your car in to trade, you can't ever really come out ahead.

Peace,

Jon

Derek Stanton,

The lenes are a Nikkor 35-70 and a Vivtar series 1 19-35 The F100 has a vertical grip. Maybe I will call around and then look into selling out the Nikon equipment vs trading it.

Silly question, maybe - but does anyone know a good place to trade my Nikon f100 with a few lenses for a few

Hasselblad lenes? I have a 500c that I have no lenes for (except the pinhole cap) I want to try and trade some

equipment for some lenes but, I don't know where to start or who won't take me

for a ride (if it is a company dealing in this sort of thing). Does anyone out there have knowledge with this?

I placed an on photo.net in the add section but, I could not find a "want to trade" way of listing it. *sigh* not sure

what to do.

Thanks,

Jon

So, I want to try pinhole photography with my Hasselblad 500C I am not sure what size hole to place in the body

cap. Anyone who can help, I need it. Also not sure what the exposure time would need to be??? I have never shot

pinhole, at all. I would be using 100ASA film, if that even matters? I think it would. Anyhow, whatever help I could get

would be super!

Thanks!!!

Jon

This may be a dumb question but, is there a way to use nikkor lenses on my Mamiya 645? I know that there is an

adaptor for Mamiya to Nikon.

Thanks,

Jon

Yes that is it !!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jon

Hey there I have a contaflex (not contaflex super)with the 50mm Tessar lens and

a seperate dial on the front right side of the camera (if you are facing it). I

am looking for a free download printable owners manual. Anyone able to point me

in the right direction?

Thanks!!!

If I could get a complete graflock back with a rollfilm holder in good working order, I could trade my Mamiya 23 standard press camera for it. I would rather use the Speed Graphic, just because I like it better. The Mamiya 23 works fine.Has a 6x7 back on it currently.

Thnaks again,

Jon

Thanks to all for your answers. To answer Glenn Thoreson, I have a plain-jane spring back on the camera at this time. I am unclear what the difference is between the graflock and the graflex backs. I used to have a 4x5 speed graphic with a "graflock" back on it and loved using the "RH" holders on the back. Never used a bagmag any in the past. I'm not sure if the back you want to work something out with me on would be good for me. Could you email me a picture of it?

Thanks!

Jon

I have a speed graphic 3.25x4.25 and want to put a graflock back on it. However

they seem harder to come by than 2x3 or 4x5 graflocks. Has anyone out there

converted a speed graphic (3x4) to a use a 2x3 graflock, or know of any other

options for me to check into?

Thanks!

Jon B.

Thanks to all! Any ideas on a good Nikon shop? Or do you send the beast back to factory for repair? I've never owned a broken Nikon, sob, sob, woe is me!

Jon

Okay, I've tried all of the above and still seems to not be working properly. *sigh*

Jon

Well, I put a roll in and it still flashes red when the shutter is pushed. The film advances and the meter and auto focus work, but not the shutter. It does not seem to work on 1/8000th at f22 or any other setting. I tried changing the progam modes etc. Got any other thoughts? Like could you reccomned a good Nikon repair shop. Any ideas on the costs for shutter repair?

Thanks again,

Jon

My F4s when I press the shutter release button, (no matter if the film speed

dial is on DX or manualy set to a film speed), the red light by the film speed

dial blinks and I'm not sure the shutter is releasing properly. I'm freaked

out. I checked the batteries and they are fine. HELP

Jon B.

I am looking for a downloadable instruction booklet on the mc-12A. Any ideas

where to go?

Thanks as always!!
