<p>Thanks a lot<br />I'll try to look in to it.</p>

<p>No sure if this is the rigt thread, but here goes.<br> I have a Profoto AcuteB 600 unit and would like to get more out af it towards the modeling light in a studio.<br />And from what I can read; there used to be an AC-adapter for prolonged use of the modeling light <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/468757-REG/Profoto_100291_Direct_Power_AC_Adapter.html">[link]</a> that is now out of production and probably also quite expensive. I am therefor considering building one myself but lack some 'pinout' information regarding the 3-pin socket on the unit. Please see nr 3 on drawing.<br> Could anyone help me this?<br> <img src="http://oi66.tinypic.com/215xll.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>I have used both tubes and macro-bellows with a range of different brands and formats and I can only recommend it.</p>

<p>I have tinkering with wordpress for years and stumbled on Indexhibit by chance and never looked back. Now I know it isn't what you asked for as it is not fullscreen. But I still can help myself in recommending it.<br />It's much faster than WP and I love the simplicity.<br />And as i detest watermarks of any sorts as they, in my opinion, take away focus from the photo I'm sticking to not uploading photos bigger than 1000px on the largest side and thus fullscreen doesn't really work for me.</p>

<p>I have a Graflex Super Graphic and I have done some test shots with it using the cab as shutter. It works fine for landscape photography but for portraits I'd prefer to have a dedicated shutter like a Copal shutter... And then we are back to the money business.<br />But first of my main focus is just to learn something about my lens and not gestimations and quick Google searches, I know how to do that and found a wacum of info... So I'm hopping to find some old school geeks ;-)</p>

<p>From a quick search via Google... I don't think so. But thanks anyway</p>

<p>@Craig<br />You have a good point there. I really do not know. I'm merely referring to what I've been told by someone I see as more knowledgeable than I in this matter.<br />I'm somewhat troubled on wether or not to save up for at Copal x shutter for it or selling it and buy something else. <br />I looks like a million bucks on my Graflex and the characteristics of it looks pretty good as well and I think it would bring something special in portrait shoots.</p>

<p>All other Goertz Dagor lenses I have seen looks quite different than mine...<br> <a href="https://www.google.dk/search?q=Goerz+Dagor&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=7uhAVYbJLeX_ywPz54HgAQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1431&bih=768#rls=en&tbm=isch&q=Goerz+Dagor+brass+lens">Google search</a><br> What gives?</p>

<p>I have no clue as to the focal length unfortunately... But by focusing on a wall and measuring the distance to it, when there is an image in focus, I'd gestimate it to about 150mm to 200mm.</p>

<p>I got this old beauty (See pictures at the bottom of post)</p> <p>C.P. Goertz Berlin<br> Doppel-Anastigmat D.R.P. No. 74437<br> Serial No.91414<br> f/6,8-62 </p> <p>Parts:<br />The lens it self (Brass)<br> Lens hood (Brass)<br> Rear adapter (Brass)<br> Bajonet-mount (Aluminium & steel)</p> <p>But it is hard to find some good info about the lens. I'm pretty sure it wasn't build for a camera.<br> I have found a few of thees on ebay prize ranging up to about a 1000€ but the rings is somewhat different that those on mine and they have far more scratches.<br> I have shot a few shots with it on my trusty Graflex and the result isn't ok.</p> <p>So what I'm asking is this:<br> What can you tell me about this lens?<br> What was it's application?<br> Why is it so different compared to the ones I've found online?<br> If I were to sell it, what could I expect prize-wise?<br />Any other info would also be appreciated...</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=j5b9ra" target="_blank"><img src="http://i58.tinypic.com/j5b9ra.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=v8ld2h" target="_blank"><img src="http://i59.tinypic.com/v8ld2h.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=s6hys4" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.tinypic.com/s6hys4.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2jez5md" target="_blank"><img src="http://i58.tinypic.com/2jez5md.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a></p> <p> </p>
