I would like to know if the 32mm extension tube is
enough to obtain such framing for close-up
portraiture ?

I just picked up a very nice Soligor Digital spotmeter
but I am confused how to use it..got plenty of dials
on it! Seems to read light ok, but confused on how
to transfer that to my shutter...thanks!

I have a large number of 616 negatives for which I'm seeking a storage
solution. I have some poly negative sleeves for this size, but they're
no longer manufactured. I've search the web and talked with several of
the major archival sleeve manufacturers and have come up empty handed.

OT I know, but....
Anyone know of a decent source for photoflash capacitors?
My 20 yr old power pack just blew one.

The Wall Street Journal (Sept 25th) front page article on Kodak notes:
"the company says it will make no more significant long-term investments

I've seen hoods for the 'blad 80mm and 150mm, but can't seem to find
anything about a hood for the 120mm f5.6 (bay 50). Other than the pro hood,
any suggestions?

I got myself an old voigtlander plate camera with 105mm F4.5 anastigmat
skopar lens and ibsor shutter and
with it came also a rollfilm back for the camera. Is the lens any good? What
could be the model and around when was this camera manufactured?

I just was given a Century Body.  Are lens boards, backs, etc availiable.

I just purchased a used Mamiya C330f and I want to start learning medium
format portrait photography. Can anyone recommend a b&w medium format film
that will render natural, smooth skin tones under natural light? Also,
what's a good portrait lens for this camera? Thanks.

How serious is the problem of camera shake in the Mamiya RB 67?  Since the mirror does NOT return automatically, it seems to me the vibration it causes should be dissipated by the time the shutter blades open.  Is a double cable release worth the money to buy and the ...

I am looking for a med format camera to take on mountaineering trips.
I don't anticipate taking photos in extreme situations - that is what
pocket automatic cameras are for. This would be for scenery photos.
Ideally it would be:

... in an expensive direction.
On a spur of the moment decision, I rang up today to order a Hasselblad
120mm f5.6 T* makro lens from a sale. I don't even have a 'blad to put it on
yet... so I guess I damn well made up my mind that i'm getting one.

I'm looking for anybody who had tried to mount the proper kit on
Rolleiflex to obtain 6x9 photos.
Thanks

Anyone know anything about the digital backs that Mamiya advertises for the
645AFD...specs?...price?...anything???

I have just recovered my Yashica C which has been in storage for about 8
years along with the rest of my life since I moved.  I now want to use it
and found that the shutter sticks.  I removed the lower lens and found that
it will release with very gentle pressure and operate for a ...
