I've noticed the colors being off on sunny days too

i couldn't get a clear shot, but you can kind of see it at the top

this is the 65 mm

Sorry got it. The crud is in the cement side between the singlets. All three lenses where it was cemented.

Thanks for the advice. Do you know what is wrong with those elements? I took it out and what ever that is is between the glass. The other two lenses look very similar.

I got a 65mm f8 for 120 dollars an a 90 f8 for about the same

Thanks for your response. I am not at all familiar with large format lenses. I believe they handle flaws much better than 35 mm lenses. Would you expect that seperation around the entire circumstance of the lens, say 1/4 of the way to the middle, would affect the IQ much?

Hi people. I have purchased three Schneider large format lenses (G-Claron 210 f9, SA 65 f8, and SA 90 f8) and they all have separation in both cells. It's not the schneideritis I keep reading about. Each one has separation around the glass. Its between the cemented elements, not just spotting along the edges. It looks like haze. I see no rainbow like effect you would usually see with separation. Does anyone know what is going on? Any ideas? Should I just stay away from Schneider? I have no way of testing them right now.

Its between both sets of cemented lenses? Can fungus get between the elements?

Thanks for the responses. It is between the elements. I see no rainbow affect. It looks like fungus without the etching. Any ideas what it is?

And fyi its the plasmat model

Just got a schneider g claron 210 f9 for 50 bucks. The seller said it has a little dust, but both pair of cemented elements are separating. I kind of want to repair it using some new basalm. I don't know where to get basalm and if it's worth the risk. Anyone have any experience re cementing lenses? Any suggestions?

thanks for the reply hi it is a 4x5

its a crown

Hi peopl. I just got a crown Graflex for 20 bucks on craigslist. It's a bit beat up but the bellows look good and the lens is clean and sounds accurate. It has a Schneider 135 4.7. I want something wider to take to Yellowstone here in a few months. I want to spend as little as possible. I found a Hermagis Hellar 105 4.5 enlarging lens in some of my stuff. I'm wondering if I can make a board for it and just do long exposures stopping down then covering it up quickly. Does any one know if it should focus to infinity? Should it cover the negative? Am I missing anything. I know very little about large format. Thanks for any advise.

Well I want to sell it.

Sure when I get home from class. Probably around 2 pacific time.

Thanks for the reply. The compensation in the flash is set to 0 so that's not the problem. I'm not having this problem when to use multiple flashes.

hi I have a D810. I have tried multiple flashes on it, but when in ttl the photos are over or unexposed. I believe the power the flash is putting out doesnt adjust. Its happed with a sb 900, a nissan and a sb600. When I put the camera in manual with the flash on ttl the photos become brighter or darker as i adjust the aperture. The pop up flash works. I have the iso usually set between 200 and 800. It happens regardless of the lighting. Any ideas what may be causing it? Thanks.

What in the world is that?!

That's awesome!

Thanks for the response. The person who owned it passed away. I think im just going to try and process a foot or so like you suggested.

Can i assume it's not exposed if some of the film is still sticking out like with 35mm film?

It was from a videography teacher here where I live.
