Anybody try the surplus film from J&C? I'm curious what it's like.
One local shop sells a film with a rating of 64/50 in 35mm format for 5x the
price per roll. Maco's website  only shows the 100 and not this 64
speed film.

to my medium format goals?
I'm contemplating a dive into MF. Just extending the hobby, I don't expect
to ever sell a slide or make a buck at this.  These are my goals and
constraints.  I think they call for a used Bronica ETRSi as the solution.

I've been an avid Pentax 35mm user for a number of years, and am now
thinking about takin the plunge into the world of the Pentax 645 - Some
good used 645 deals seem to come up from time to time (eBay, local
shops, etc.).

Is it possible to get a light seal kit for a Hasselblad A12 magazine?

your self"?

I am printing my own 6X7 negatives at home and I am using a 105 mm lens. I
find that I the range of enlargement is limited: the enlarger column (Meopta
Opemus 7) is at the very maximum to achieve a 30X40 print. I would like to
make larger prints. What can of lens would I need for ...

I have one of these cameras in excellent condition for sale. It
belonged to my father - one careful owner from 1951. No pin holes in
the bellows and all round tip top condition. I'll send jpegs of it if
you're interested.

   Today my 500CM arrived. I'd love to say I was like a boy on Christmas
morning, only for some reason I haven't felt excited about buying a camera
for a long time (now I just get financially-motivated panic attacks and
instant "Buyer's Remorse"). It's a fine machine, and in quite ...

On my Yashicamat TLR the 85mm taking lens is small and light, but on
my Kowa (like the hassie) the 85mm lense is large and heavy.  Why is
that?

Hi...  I'm currently using a Mamiya C330 & want to get into a Mamiya
SLR.  I'm not sure which one to hook up with, so I was wondering if
there was a recent book or website which lays out the different models
and their accessories. I'm talking about something like an HPBooks

Looking for some help in choosing a new meter for digital and film, studio etc.
Considering Sekonic 358.  Any opinions?  I guess that is a stupid question right?

My old radio slave only has the one channel.  I'm looking at various
devices, I see quantum 4i with a choice of channel a, b, c or d.   I thought
modern slaves had a choice of a half dozen channels or more?  why or how do
you decide which channel to buy?

There have been several posts recently about mirror lockup on the RB67,
which I understand is easily achieved, although I don't use an RB. I do use
RZ67 for which I always have used the twin cable release to flip the mirror
before exposure. It occurs to me that given that the RB67 ...

I contacted a dealer for Kiev.
Just to add to the body of information, a NC-2 finder will NOT work properly
with a 200 series body.
Thus I am considering a hassy 45 non-metered prism.

It's Pentacon Six TL, with lenses 50, 80 and 180, good choice for nature
photography??
Thanx for answer,

I have just received an old Hasselblad back (non automatic) and I have
few questions prior to test it with film.
1. I was expecting that the little window in the back of the shell (to
see when one has reached the frame 1 has a red filter, but my back
