<h1 >14 Lessons Mark Cohen Has Taught Me About Street Photography</h1> <p>http://is.gd/YRTN09</p>

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">hello <br /><br />For both the Graphex #2 and the Copal #1--is this cable release suitable: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/272795-REG/Gepe_601212_Plastic_Covered_Cable_Release.html" target="_blank">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/272795-REG/Gepe_601212_Plastic_Covered_Cable_Release.html</a> <br /><br />More to the point: are some threaded connectors conical while others are straight. <br /><br />We inserted the connector into the Graphex lens release--naturally, it seats only so far...is this acceptable? <br /><br />thank you</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

<p>yes: 72mm it is...</p>

<p>hello<br> We ordered a B & W NC filter for the lens, in a 77mm size--it does not fit (seems a wee bit too large).<br> Any idea on the correct filter size for the lens?<br> thank you<br> Dean Taylor</p>

<p><em>the CSM 21.1 option...</em></p> <p>for goodness' sake, what a neat thing--we just saved many, many unintentional <br /> 'captures' (learning all the time)...</p> <p>thanks to the three of you this early Wednesday morning...</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Dean</p>

<p>hello</p> <p>A student asks about the metering system activated when pressing the shutter<br> release half way--and specifically, unintentionally catching the subtle point<br> beyond metering, i.e., to release.</p> <p>This common feature was not much of an issue when using the DSLR--i.e., press it too<br> far while composing: simply 'delete' the image...</p> <p>With 35mm film (here, with the F100) we would ask if there is a method<br> of activating the meter without the risk of losing film--i.e., holding off on<br> the capture until the composing/metering is complete...</p> <p>If, in fact, there is no 'fail safe,' perhaps it's simply more finesse...</p> <p>thank you...</p>

<p><em>"If the price is right, I would get this lens. There is nothing mediocre about it."</em><br /> <br /> Thank you, Wouter, and everyone who stayed with the topic: the seller is asking $115<br /> (not to be too precise about it...).</p> <p>At any rate--and, since beginning the thread, doing research, etc.--I happened<br /> upon Matthew Durr's fine website and, specifically, this lens (I'm going to have to save my pennies):<br /> <br /> http://matthewdurrphotography.com/2012/05/24/lens-review-nikon-105mm-f1-8-ai-s/</p> <p>At probably three times the price, it would seem they cannot be considered in the same breath.</p>

<p><em>"...some P lenses, very late a black ones, were also multicoated ..."</em><br> for a beginner, then, how to detect the fact of multi-coating...?</p> <p> </p>

<p>it's labeled 'Nikkor-P' with a serial #277155...better to let it ride, as has been pointed out...</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Dean</p>

<p><em>"It will only have single coated optics, and IME it's only an average performing lens."</em><br> <em> </em><br> <em><br /></em>thanks for the input, Rodeo Joe and all who weighed in...</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Dean</p>

<p>thanks, Jeff...</p>

<h2 id="post-major-title">Facebook Rep Claims Uploaded Photos Become</h2> <h2>the Company’s Property...</h2> <p>http://is.gd/0wx7gZ</p> <p>unsubstantiated rumor, etc?</p> <p> </p>

<p>Is it possible to evaluate the modification on this lens?</p>

<p>hello<br /><br />The owner of the lens indicates that an adaptor is needed for mounting this lens...in good condition, what is a fair price? what type of adaptor is called for?<br /><br />thank you</p>

<p>Photographer Andrew Jamieson was recently asked to give a presentation at work on his medium format film photography process. Instead of sharing a slideshow, Jamieson filmed this beautiful 4-minute video that covers how he loads Tri-X film into his Hasselblad, meters and shoots his photos, develops his film, scans it into a computer, and post-processes the images in Photoshop.<br /> “I develop my own film, I do all my own retouching and I shoot with a range of digital SLRs, 35mm and medium format cameras,” Jamieson writes. “I’ve been working on a personal project over the last year which looks at capturing Falkirk’s industrial past. This video shows a part of my process.”</p> <p>https://youtu.be/XMlg6-wXCgw</p>

<p>thank you...</p>

<p>thanks, Charles...</p> <p>Someone had pointed out that one might connect an electronic flash to the Graphex bi-post--we<br> have a Yongnuo for the Nikon D7000 we'd like to connect to the Speed Graphic...any<br> ideas on the hook-up are gratefully received...</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Dean </p>

Attempting to set it, but would ask<br /> if you've used it, before we set it incorrectly (read: break it)...</p> <p>The red adjustment lever can be reset if we lift it, and the dial will wind in a CW fashion...the plunger<br /> can be pressed and latched--it strikes the cable release button...there is another latch (shaped<br /> like a 'minute hand' on a clock--unknown function...</p> <p>thanks for clarifying...</p> <p>Dean</p> <p> </p>

<p><img src="http://lommen9.home.xs4all.nl/shutters/P1070622_320%20T.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="214" /><br> Are you able to identify the Graphex shutter model pictured here?</p> <p>I had concluded that it was the Graphex #1, but someone mentioned that for the lens<br> on the Speed Graphic here (f/4.7, 135mm), it is more likely a #2 or #3...to wit:</p> <p><em>(BTW, for the record, that 135 lens is usually installed in a Graphex no. 2 or 3 shutter; </em><br> <em>the no. 1 is the smallest, used for the 68 and 101 Optars, among others...).</em><br> <em> </em><br> Thank you</p> <p>Dean</p> <p> </p>

<h2 id="post-major-title" >Bending the Light: A New Documentary About Lens Makers and Photos Takers</h2> <p>There’s “never-before-seen footage from inside a premier Japanese lens factory [Canon’s factory in Utsunomiya, Japan], intimate interviews with lens engineers, and a peek into the world of award-winning photographers and cinematographers…”<br> http://petapixel.com/2015/05/08/bending-the-light-a-new-documentary-about-lens-makers-and-photos-takers/</p>

<p>hello</p> <p>Sincere thanks to one and all for weighing in!</p> <p>Someone at another forum made mention of the expiry/emulsion data listed on the box. B&H, to their credit,<br> added a label to the canister with both the emulsion (141-403) as well as the expiry (9/2016).</p> <p>By the way, how ought an earnest student of film interpret the emulsion data provided?</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Dean</p>

<p>hello</p> <p>A beginner asks about a shutter cable release--are they standard size threads, or specific<br> to the shutter? </p> <p>The right-side 'body release' on the 4x5 Pacemaker Speed Graphic calls for a heavy duty cable (versus the <br> 'lighter touch' needed at the Copal 1 release?)...</p> <p>B&H lists several:</p> <p>http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?&N=4077634555+4095985253&cm_sp=Search-_-RemoteShutterRelease-_-ThreadedCableRelease_BI12536</p> <p>thank you</p> <p>Dean Taylor</p>

<p>thank you, gentlemen...</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Dean</p>
