Hmm, in my ever expanding quest for finding the most financially viable way
of shooting medium format, i went on another quest:
1) If 100' long rolls of film are available for 35mm format, why not for the
120 / 220 format size? i am rather surprised that no one carries bulk

I wish to know if there is any custom/duty charges buying from Hong Kong to
US.
I live in Spain, and as in the European Union there is a lot of taxes, I'm
thinking about buying from one of those reputable dealers on ebay. And send

     Does anybody know if an online manual exists for  this? Is there
some trick to getting the empty canister out? How tight should the darkslide
be?
  Thanks

I am trying to find an inexpensive lens hodd for the lens in the
subject line. I have looked at the Bronica hood, and $100 seems a bit
spendy for a lens hood.
I have also looked at the Lee WA hood, but that item is even more

I have a very nice Bessa I with Color Skopar lens and I'm very happy
with the lens performance. Mine also has a very rigid standard. But I
have problems with stray light that seems to get to the film creeping
around the pressure plate.  This happens mostly in open sun

some time ago I bought a used Kiev 88 at ebay. The camera of course has
some problems but most of them I could accept. The biggest and not
acceptable problem I got with the film magazine. Because of a
misscalibration the photos are blurred.

I Know!! Wrong group but how do I calibrate my IMac (17 inch flat) to match
my Epson 1280 printer output or vice versa? OR How do you get the printed
image to match the displayed image?

As KIEV cameras arent that expensive i wonder what about the quality of
them?There is also ARAX  a updated and modificated KIEV,anyone who has
worked with them?

once again, another question on the C330.
This is more  of a workflow question. While shooting, I find myself
automatically readying for the next shot by advancing the film before
setting up my shot. This automatically cocks the shutter as well. Now, when

Could someone please give me an explanation of the differences between these
two lens families for RB67?

Got an epson 3200 to scan MF 6x6 from my mamiya 6.
In a word - yech! Guess I have been spoiled by my LS-4000 for 35mm work.
The fiddly details  I obsess about in my work are simply blurred.
After 24h hours of testing, the 3200 is being offered on ebay..

     Anybody know of a source of empty cassettes? Or does anybody sell
film in reusable cassettes anymore?
    Thanks

I'm not interested in the sf, so 2 portrait lenses suggest themselves: The
140 Macro or the 180. Now for the questions:
   1. Any general recommendations for 1 over the other?
   2. What are the "macro" capabilities of the 140?

I am looking for a flash bracket that I can use with my mamiya 645 1000s
camera. I would like to be able to use this with either waist level finder
or prism finder and would like the possibility of rotating the flash should
I want to shoot vertical. I am looking for something that ...

Reality check, please. Has anyone seen a 21mm (F5) lens for 70mm square? I
have a picture that alleges to show one built for aerial work, but I
cannot read the printing on the lens. Supposedly is is not a fisheye.
