<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a Helical Focus mount? Im looking to build a cambo wide like camera. all of the focus mounts that I have seen are expensive from Schneider $340. Fotoman made some at $200 but they are out of business now. does anyone know where I can get one or hack one from another camera? thanks.</p>

<p>Hello,<br>

Im looking to get a polaroid 180 or 195 camera since those are the only models with an operating shutter. I have been check prices for this cameras and they are through the roof. I have seen polaroid land cameras like the 250 with a Rodenstock Ysarex 127mm lens mounted on them. does anyone know how to make this conversion? how do you get proper infinity focus with this camera? I have a few 127mm lenses laying around and would love to attempt a conversion.<br>

any help will be appreciated. thank you.</p>

<p>hello all,</p>

<p>I have been running short on some Kodak Portra NC160 4x5 film last month and B&H and Adorama was out of stock. I just checked again and how its listed as discontinued. whats going on? is the film really gone? thanks.</p>

<p>Hello again,</p>

<p>I have a Linhof Technika V 4x5 camera. I dropped it a while back and bent the front focus wheel, the focus is very stiff. I just got in a new focusing geared wheel. Im pretty good with tools and have a good knack for dissembling and fixing mechanical things.<br>

heres my question, does anyone know how to completely remove the entire front rail to access the focus wheel? Im having trouble getting to all the screws. any Ideas? thanks.</p>

<p>Hello All,</p>

<p>I just got my custom lensboard for my 178mm Aero Ektar. Im trying to mount it on my Speed graphic Pacemaker, but I cant seem to get the rear element through the front standard. any ideas other then milling out the edges? thanks.</p>

<p>thanks for the replies.</p>

<p>The $5 screw from Marflex was a simple 3mm screw, they also had a minimum charge of $3.50 for shipping. haha. I only call them when I really need something I cant get anywhere else. I found some SS 3mm screws at ACE hardware for .20 cents.</p>

<p>hello,<br>

I have an old linhof technika that I am restoring. underneath the leatherette theres small thin pieces of metal to cover up the big gaping holes. I tried using aluminum from a beer can but it seems to thick. does anyone know where I can find something similar? thanks.</p>

<p>Hello, I have been scouring all the used camera shops, ebay, and I cant find a Comound V shutter anywhere. my best bet is to look for one with a lens w/ the shutter. does any one know where I can find one or have one for sale? also, what lenses came with a compound V shutter?</p>

<p>The only ones I can think of are a Xenar 30cm 4.5</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I converted the camera before with the original 127mm lens with success. I find that the 127mm lens is a bit to wide for my taste. Now, I want to make a polaroid 110b to 4x5 conversion with a 150mm lens. I know that you will have to remove the front element of the lens in order to close the camera, etc.<br>

My question is, would I have to make any changes to the original cam on the camera to achieve a proper focus? does anyone know where I can get a modified cam for a 150mm lens? if all else fails, what would be the best 150mm lens to use to with the original 127mm cam?</p>

<p>Fujinon 150mm f/6.3<br>

Rodenstock APO Sironar-N 150mm f/5.6<br>

Rodenstock APO Sironar-S 150mm f/5.6<br>

Nikkor W 150mm 5.6</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>hello,<br /> I just found my old nikon f100 I purchased a decade ago in the closet. it has not been used in years. I would like to get rid of it, but I want to make sure its fully functional. Im testing it out right now an d I cant seen to get the auto focus to work on the shutter release button. the autofocus works when i press the "af on" button on the back. The camera must be on some weird custom setting.</p>

<p>does anyone know how to get the camera to auto focus with the shutter release button? thanks.<strong><br /></strong></p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I have a Konica Minolta Magicolor Laser Printer that I use for quick work prints to tack on the wall to edit. Toner for the printer is really expensive, about $350 for a whole new set. I have seen Aftermarket toner for this Laser Printer. Does anyone have any experience with the aftermarket toner? is the quality the same? any thoughts would be very helpful, thanks.</p>
