Does this camera always require a tripod or can it be hand held under
good lighting conditions? I'm concerned about the amount of mirror vibration
that only a tripod could handle.

I have seen this stuff on ebay. It was 64ASA.
What other speeds does this manufacturer offer?How would it compare to
Ilford Pan F and FP4 or Agfa APX100?
I've got a pack of FP4 at present but i'm always willing to try something

What does the "with 12 release" mean? TIA

I bought a very slightly used ROllei 6008i on eBay this year and have
taken some spectacular pictures with it. It has the standard 80mm
Zeiss PQ lens and 2 film backs.
Recently as I have becomemore accustomed to using the camera, I

Hi again,
I am in the process of building-up my Hasselblad system and I see that
the older Zeiss 80s (chrome finish) are substantially cheaper than the
newer black ones. I know that a lot of people says that the T· are

Hi all...I was wondering if there was a way to tighten the action on the pro
shade.  When you turn the knob and try to extend the bellows all the way out
to lets say 250mm setting, it like to retract itself.  I know an elastic
band would be a quick fix but I really don't like to ...

I understand that the Moskva 5 is supposed to have a self timer but I
can't find one on mine.  I notice that there is a slot in the shutter
housing between the cocking lever and the red shutter speed mark.  Is
there supposed to be a button in this slot?  If so, mine is missing.

Hello, I have just purchased a Bronica SQ outfit that came with a
metered Bronica S viewfinder. I notice that the finder has a peg that
keeps it from being mounted on the camera body, and that the number of
contacts differs, so I assume that the two are not compatable. Seeing as

How precise do you find the meter in the PME51?
Compared to my Gossen handheld meter the PME51 overexpose by 0.5 - 1 EV.
So when I use the meter I have learned to compensate. It is nice to have a
meter in the prism for quick shooting.

I am the proud new owner of a 1858 Moskva 5 folder - shipped from
Russia.  I can't find a manual for this camera anywhere on the net.  The
camera opens by pressing a button on the right top side.  What is the
correct way to refold the camera?  I have managed to close the camera ...

Advice please.
I recently acquired a lens as above and after only 3 evenings of use the
aperture sticks open. I have taken the top lens element to expose the
diaphram (?) but from the top it looks OK. From underneath there appear to

I have just bought a Hasselblad 500c (only the body, nor film magazine
nor lens) I will buy them as soon as I get the money to :-) Anyway, is
there a way to test if the unit is working properly or can I break
something if I push the shutter without lens and magazine? I know that

I use a Hasselblad 501c with a C80mm f/2.8 for Black and white portrait.
This lens is not designed for portrait close-up, because perspective depends
only on point of view, so I plan to buy a teleconverter x2 such as Kenko
teleconcverter or Vivitar teleconverter.

Not sure if you are supposed to post FA notices here but i felt this was
such a rare thing i should do it anyway. Althought i am not selling this
item, anyone with a Bronica ETR system should see this:
