<p>Hi everyone, thanks for all the responses, and sorry for my late response. For future reference, I have an auto-immune problem, and have good days and bad days. So I don't always respond so soon to my responses, but please never think I ask a question and take all these kind responses for granted.<br> I checked again, and the Bronica is ETRS, and it's definitely a 50mm lens, can can go down to 1.8! The manufacturer is Zenzanon, I believe (not in front of me). There is a box with accessories, and when I start shooting 120 I'll come back and ask what they are, if you don't mind. There is also a hood, the kind you see the pix of old style photographers looking down into, but I can't figure out whether it's for the Mamaya or Bronica. Or how to put it on, lol.<br> Dave Thomas, I hear you about "I wish someone would give me..." I usually don't have that kind of luck! I usually have to work to the bone for everything so I was shocked! There was also a Canon AE-1, a Canon F-1, step up rings, zoom lenses, a Sunpac, etc. <br> Of course, gift-horse-mouth-looker that I am, I'm also thinking about the Hasselblad I DIDN'T get 'cause it was sold...<br> Maybe my luck has changed. That would be so nice....</p>

<p>Thanks, everyone. I think I'll get one while I wait for the discontinued Zeiss or B+W dark green one. They're almost impossible to find. I just grabbed an old red 30.5mm one off Ebay Germany.</p> <p>Thanks again.</p>

<p>Addndum: The Mamiay is fitted with an 80mm lens, and there is another 60mm lens-not sure if it is for the Mamiya or Bronica. There's also something called a dupliscope?</p>

<p>Hi, all. A friend of mine recently gave me her deceased husband's cameras (except the Hasselblad, which he had sold...sigh...). Not very familiar with medium format, although I played with a Polaroid land camera years ago. There is something called a Mamiya C330 professional. Also a Bronica Zensa, or Sensa (cameras not in front of me, my apologies).</p> <p>Are they good cameras? What's the difference in quality, if any? And can someone direct me to tutorials for them? There is a hood too, not sure which camera the hood goes on, and how to put it on. </p> <p>Also, recommendations for favorite medium format film would be appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I really would like a dark green 30.5mm filter by B+W, but they've been discontinued and I have to wait for one to show up. In the meantime, SRB has one for sale. Is that a good company?<br> Heliopan makes one, but I was intrigued to find out that in a study years ago, their filters did not perform near as well as their reputation. Actually, Hoya performed better, but they don' make 30.5mm filters.<br> So, any thoughts? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Steven,<br> I compensated at 1.5 EV and the film was somewhat overexposed. Since I don't have the filter compensation guides for older Zeiss Jena filters I don't know whether which system they're using.<br> I'll just have to experiment. Thanks for explaining.</p>

<p>Steven,<br> That's what I thought. But I compensated at 1.5 EV and the film was somewhat overexposed. It could be because it was already 3200 ISO.<br> I'll just have to experiment. Thanks for explaining.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention that the manual calls the decimal compensation 'ev,' but doesn't explain further.</p>

<p>Hello,<br> I just purchased a Contax T3 with a 30.5mm lens (Zeiss). I also purchased a Zeiss Jena Green 1 filter. It's a yellow green filter, and although I can't find the filter factor for it, it seems to be about 1.5. I am new to colored filters for black and white photography, so I originally thought that meant I compensate 1 and a half stops. That's how 'green' I am (pun intended). Now I know it means half of that, correct? I.e. a filter factor of plus 2, means I open up 1 stop?<br> The T3 compensates in decimals, either plus or minus. So, would a plus .70 EV, be equivalent to about 2/3 of a stop, hence, the correct compensation for a 1.5 filter factor?<br> I am not a technogeek, but if someone could help me out here, also know where I can find info on filter factors for the Zeiss Jena lenses I would be grateful. Does the compensation always equal to half of the factor? Any simple (not space rocket) tutorials out there?<br> Also, if anyone knows a good source for a 30.5 high quality Green 2 (dark green) filter, screw on, that would be appreciated.<br> Thanks in advance.</p>
