I understand the formula

therefore the coverage needed.

    Well it looks like I may be able to combine two of my favorite
hobbies, photography and motorcycling, soon. I just purchased a
oldy-but-goodie Yamaha XS750 which is perfect for touring. Plenty of
torque and good fuel economy.

We just finished this conference and from all we've heard from the attendees
and exhibitors it was a great success. The venders aall said they would come
back and that they were busy and the attendees appreciated the trade show and
the seminars. As always there are a few things we ...

I am looking to purchase an inexpensive 1 degree spotmeter, and the
Pentax Spotmeter V seems to be a good price/quality tradeoff. However,
I'm finding that the prices for the Pentax Spotmeter V are running
close to $200 ("inexpensive" being a relative concept). I am therefore

Anybody know of a good film scanner that can do 4x5 chromes?  I want a
desktop scanner for around $2000.00
Thanks....

After thirty years, somehow I've screwed up the camera. My local repair
shop put it on the shelf for the past year. Looking for rear rails for
crown graphic-The interior rails. Do you have a source for parts or
someone famililar with replacing these. I can replace with the right

Would someone please forward the outside dimensions of a Lisco or Fidelity 8x10
film holder?  I'm assuming that these are standard dimensions.  Is this the

 I don't know if anybody remembers my issue with an old Prontor-S
shutter that jammed at the first use. However, I mailed it to SKGrimes
and got it back clean and fixed a few days ago.
 Now I encounter another problem - how do I leave the shutter open

In the June/July issue of CameraArts we do a quick comparison between these two
developers with 35mm FP4+.
In the July/Aug View Camera we will look at these two developers with HP5+ and
the new version of Tri-X sheet films.

I have been lurking here for a while, reading posts and learning what I
can. I am not a photographer, strictly a home-owner/hobbyist and have
never done anything even remotely adventurous with a camera, but for
many months now I have been thinking about building my own large ...

Is this true?  
  I have some 4x5 64T shots of a painting on mine, and one of
them is very much in focus, but slightly overexposed.
  This can be fixed in Photoshop after i scan it, right?

I've come across a 4X5 camera called a BRAND that is for sale.  Never heard of
it.  Does anyone know where info may be found for this camera, Google is
endless when searched with the word Brand Camera.  Or does anyone know anything
about its' history, usefullness or quality?

I have a Schneider 240 that has no lens cap for the back element, which
is a major hassle.  Does anyone have a spare cap?  It appears to be 58mm.
Thanks,
