<p>Hmmm.. planing to be in New Delhi in February.. Is there anyone selling color MF and 4x5 there?<br>

Made need some by then, several years ago, could not find anyone who had it in stock.. <br>

Thanks for any help.. </p>

<p>Were they pre drilled for the lens diameter?</p>

<p>An idea, but then have to have another type of filter... trying to keep it simple, but doesn't look like it wants to go that way. ;-)</p>

<p>Yes that is a good find.. and very good filters, hopefully someone here will see it and take advantage, but alas.. except for this question, I have all the filters I need. </p>

<p>I know what your talking about, I have one of those on my 3x4 and can use my nikon filters on it, but do not have one that will fit this lens..<br>

There is always that way I have used sometimes in the pass, taking my polariser, and holding it in front of lens, but to do so, you have to have camera on tripod, as you need both hands.. one to hold filter, the other to fire camera. </p>

<p>Are there others then that can be used with a Kodak Series VI mount?</p>

<p>John yes, but failed to mention will be using roll film back, which makes using the ground glass, much more difficult to use.<br>

Bill.. ah yes.. that makes sense. Now never having seen one of these .. are they like the other filters that just drop into the adapter ring, and then you screw on the Series VI lens hood which makes it secure in place? If so then the lines and letters would have to be on the face of the polarizer. Correct? <br>

Also.. wouldn't you also need a mark on the stationary part of the polarizer that the adjustment of a-h would reference to, to place that 'up', as you placed it into the holder, as you would not see it with the adapter ring on. Or does the polarizer screw into the adapter? <br>

One more question what is your filter called? Is it a Kodak Pola-screen lens filter? </p>

<p>For my Crown Graflex 2x3 I have a Kodak Series VI Wratten filter holder that I use for B&W, no problem, but thinking of getting a polarizer for use with color film.<br>

Has anyone used these, in a similar configuration?<br>

The only polarizer I have used is with my Nixons, of course you can see the adjustment through the lens, but on this 2x3, I guess you would have to hold it up, adjust it, and then carefully insert it into the holder.<br>

At least that's what I think.. anyone have any experience?<br>

thanks in advance..</p>

<p>I've had the same problem.. finally had to learn patience.<br>

I leave it hang over night, then cut them and put them in a Print File sleeve, and place it in a big book, much larger than the sleeve. Let it sit over night, with a couple of other books on top.. next morning there flat.. ready to scan.<br>

Yep two days.. going through the patience test right now.. ;-)</p>

<p>Update: <br>

I've been doing light bidding on the 'site' and have had no luck, but today, had to go to Phoenix, and actually handled one.. like it, and it was easy to focus on the F2.. but they wanted I thought to much for it.. $60. <br>

So, I'm not in a rush.. but now I know what I bidding on... life goes on.</p>

<p>Da,,, <em>of course</em>.. so it may fit, but virtually useless on an F2.. haha.. that's great.. thank you. <br>

Next.. <br>

I'll have to check to see what's available, that may work on both camera's.</p>

 

<p>Ok.. I'm a CMC guy, but doing some voluntary work which requires posting of project images for discussion. So I was able to borrow a D-90 from my brother and law with a 70mm plus lens.<br>

Trouble is, it doesn't work for all the shots I need. <br>

So the Nikon 28-80mm f3.3-5.6 AF G will fill that bill for me, inexpensive, and in researching the web, it states that it will also work on all Nikon film cameras. Of course, will have to manually focus, and meter, <strong><em>but is this true?</em></strong><br>

If so I'll purchase it and also use it for my F2, as my brother in law already as a similar lens, that he uses all the time.</p>

 

<p>It was in the lid, thanks everyone.</p>

<p>Had to move my scanner, from one location to another. Before moving slid both transportation locks to there correct position, and packed it in a box. Unpacking it, noticed it was upside down in the box.<br>

Now turning it on, and after verifying from Epson web site, that I do have them properly unlocked, we are still getting a flashing light.<br>

Something must be stuck, any suggestions on what to do? </p>

<p>Well thanks for all your help and education... the problem was solved today when my brother in law lent me his old d90 with a 70 to something lens for as long as I need it, bag, charger, extra battery and chip. ;-)<br>

Now all I have to do is learn how to use it, and so he also then found me a manual.. <br>

thanks again for all the responses..</p>

 

<p>WOW ... thanks for all the responses... cost is a definite consideration... its basically going to be used as a point and shoot, and as an old 'art the eyes are going.. so focusing is a consideration. <br>

Knowing nothing about digital.. (obvious) there have been statements that in using (BTW they are AI lenses with an F2) about cropping. This cropping basically means you do not get what would be a 35mm image but something smaller.. is that correct? <br>

If so no big deal.. just so that the view finder would show what I was taking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I tried this on another site, but no answers yet, so thought I try it here. <br>

I'm a hybrid, old Classic Manual camera guy.. who shoots film, develops and then scans. <br /> Alas, I'm going to do some volunteer work out of state.. and I going to need to shoot quite a few images for some show and tell, on the progress of some construction work. I don't really want to go digital as I really enjoy film, but for all the images that will have to be made, the best route will be to go digital. <br /> I have a good assortment of <strong><em>manual lenses</em></strong> for the old film Nikon f2, and I've have been investigating, that there are only really to Nikon digital backs that will work. The Nikon d80 or d90. <br /> So I have a few questions for those who have gone here before. <br /> <br /> A) How do the old manual lenses do on these.. I have a 28mm 2.8, 50mm 1.? and an 80-180 4.5. <br /> B) The d90 has a live viewer, is this a better advantage over the d80's which has only a view finder for the type of shooting I will be doing?<br /> <br /> Add anything else that may help me make the decision on which to buy... <br /> thanks p.</p>

<p>I cut my own film, for use with 3x4, from 4x5 film, I have left over strips that I usually throw out.<br /> There great for testing your fixer, from time to time, so before I put these in the trash, does anyone have a need that lives in the USA? There from Arista 200 ... AKA Foma.<br /> <br /> <br /> If you can use them, send me a PM with address, and will mail them to ya.</p>

<p>Invert the front standard or perhaps change the Front "Orbix" Center-Axis Tilt</p>

<p>Ok.. one set left</p>

<p>I cut my own film, for use with 9x12 and a 3x4, from 4x5 film, I have left over strips that I usually throw out.<br /> There great for testing your fixer, from time to time, so before I put these in the trash, does anyone have a need that lives in the USA? There from Arista 400 ... AKA Foma.<br /> <br /> I have about two groups.. so can send off three sets ... <br /> <br /> If you can use them, send me a PM with address, and will mail them to ya.</p>

<p>Oh... my... I forgot to put the link in the post... ;-)<br>

daffy duck.. strikes again.. Ok try this:<br>

<p>Interesting article and pictures of William Shakespeare in Arabia during early 1900's</p>

<p>Yes, how about that, it is a coated CZJ Tessar! <br>

The bellows looks light tight, but will try first shot in B&W, to see what the rest of the story is, cut down to fit from some left over Efke 3x4. </p>

<p>Ah ha.. Yeap its a Weltax ... and thank you for the site reference..<br>

yep no mask, so its 120 or nothing at all... ;-)</p>
