Some Experiences with Re-cementing Lenses
I recently re-cemented two lenses. There was a learning

Well I just picked up a very nice 5x7 Technika for $500 (hopefully worth
that!), bellows looks great but I do need a GG for it. Which model GG do I

REJECT all posts that spell out you-know-what! Cool, eh?)

Have some pretty neat personal stuff that I had acquired over the years
but unfortunately I am rather along in years and really can't use it
any longer.  The list includes some Nikon, Sinar 4x5 and Hasselblad
equipment.  No reaaonable offer refused.

they can:
I have been using a local Q-Lab and my Kodak transparencies come out
great, nice color balance perfect exposures or at least as expected when

I need to enlarge some pictures that I have on my disc. I'd like to
