Solace A good hand held light meter is a plus, also a good tripod and cable release.I have good luck w/hp5 400

Great shots.I have one of this lens but i just don't shot it enough.

Guy's i have the same problem with my nettar.Using Fp4 ilford does have numbers.I did some practice with the back open with a old outdated roll by counting the turns.Just make notes and scotch tape to back of camera.Really love this little camera.

Arun<> Just google tammron adapters.Still may be cheaper to sell the pentax lens and use the money to buy a canon mount lens.

Jay i have to agree with shun i just can't go anywhere without my FM2n and md12 motor.

Has anyone purchased one of these inexpenisive raido trigger slaves on ebay

like under 20.00.There seems to be so many models most are from hong

kong ,china.Any addvice appricated.Thanks

david run a few pawn shops you would be suprised.

Yes Bueh I thought it did look small for a 6x9.I just put a 6in ruler on it and its 2 1/4 x 1 11/16 wall to wall."Oh well" I still love it and plan to shoot with it.Its really in good condition.thanks

My good neighbor who knows i collect cameras came over the other night and

gave me a camera he recived from his grandpaws family heirloom.I read many

threads since i got this camera.But still have acouple of questions.Its a 515

w/a 7.5cm lens anastigmat w/A kilo shutter 1~175.Shutter sticks open from 25

down to 1 but works fine from 25 30 to 175.The format is a 6x9 B2 2 1/4 x 3

1/4which is printed inside the film back.My question is the lens focal length

with this 6x9 format.everthing i see has a 105mm or 108.Also does any have any

tips on how to count the frames accurately without overlaping or spacing to

much, because i really want to shoot this camera.I'm not sure the modern film

still has the numbers on the back paper.

Thanks Kyle but mine does not.I think I have the older model,mine has the switch for the light meter also.

Recently purchased a rollei 35 LED with owners manuel<not very useful>.I found

on a site you can put 4 1.5 batteries in the top hole W/+ side up and i got

mine working.My question is does only the shutter speed set the green light.I

don't think the apeature has any affect.Also i have a 35 B Rollei and i have

click stops on each setting, but on the LED its just smooth all the way from

3.5 to 22.Is this common for the LED.

Thanks Frank for the info.I tried to sell it twice on Ebay starting at 50.00 But no takers.I think I'll just put it in the attic and keep it for for later.

I have an old 1960s polaroid mp-3 i picked up at work.After fooling around

with it i discovered how it works and relized a graflex 4x5 back slips in

behind the focus screen.My question is has anyone used this camera as a field

camera in large format.I know its heavy and bulky to lug around.Has anyone had

good results with this beast.Lens is a rodenstock 127mm f4.7-45 w/ prontor

shutter 1 sec to 125.

Anyone know of a link where i might find a battery cap for a minolta srt 505.

Thanks

These are some of the reasons why i don't bring my expeseive cameras to a party when i know i will be driking.

Steve you might check the book by Lee Frost "Night & LOW-LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY.He seems to have mastered it all.

I have a mp4 with parts missing that i want to sell on ebay.the shutter lens

is pretty nice w/ very clean glass.Its a Prontor w/rodenstock-ysaron 1:4.7

127mm.shutter speed is 125-1.Shutter is sticky on 1 but works on all other

speeds.My question is the rodenstock lens fits on my synchro-compur graphic.On

my graphic is kodak ektar 127 4.7 in someone's opinion which is the better

lens to keep since they both fit.I want to sell shutter/lens w/mp4. Thanks

Is it ok to use some of these beautiful photos in our gallerys for screen

savers.

Just for discssion in lue of my post on jan 2 07 i made the purchsse of the

old glass negatives for 3.00 each.But come to find out they are not negatives

at all but are postives.To my amaze i never seen anything like this.They are

from the keystone co in Pa.I think they were used in some kind of slide

projector for class room study.They are labled under plants and anaimals with

series numbers 105 to 131.They are sandwiched with a clear glass plate and a

little card board mat with the info. on it and bordered with black tape.We put

one in the enlarger and burned one on paper and naturally the highlights and

shadows are in reverse.I guess my question is to find out about how old these

plates are? Any responses for discussion appricated. thanks Danny

Check out the werra cameras via google i know their are many web sites.

Shooting a wedding,its was the group shot behind the cake i set my MF 55mm wide angle on a small table next to me and it politely rolled off and bounced on the hard wood floor,but the lens is fine.Shooting another wedding in my friends home for his daughter I accidently pressed the release button on my sunpak 522 flash holder and my F2 nikon took a gooood lick on his ceramic tile floor, 150.00 worth.

Stephen try and borrow a sensor first and check with a flash meter to see if this is the problem before you buy another.Sometimes a local pawn may have one for cheap, also a 283 is a good flash also.I have one of each.

Some web sites call these 3rd party lens. I think they more like 5th cousins.

Find a cheap lens for it and donate it to a chairty or school in Mexico.

I think the pros flooded the market with their med format eq.and are crying about the prices being so low, or they say their film cameres aren't worth anything.Dhaa! The market is flooded and their are too many.Wait till they they start putting those 2500.00 3000.00 digital nikon and canons.Just hope they give a 12 month 15000 picture or money back warrenty.
