... I removed the focusing screen on my Mamiya C3 TLR for a good cleaning
and now for the life of me I can't seem to remember the order in which it
goes back (focusing screen first then glass plate or vise versa) and whether
they are facing in the right direction. (up/down).  I ...

Bought one on ebay last night and now of course scrambling to find out
any info:)

I have been left a 1960's rolleicord vb camera in mm uncles will, it
has been used about 5 or 6 times in its life and is unmarked with the
original unmarked leather case and strap,  it has a
schneider-kreuznach zenar 75mm 3.5 lens which is the silver front and

I have a C330 and am considering a Stroboframe to move the flash off the
side of the camera. Is there a Stroboframe or another brand of frame that
would work well for that task? I have the Mamiya grip (not the pistol-type)
with the shutter release on the handle, and a Sunpack flash ...

Are there any low-end 645 SLRs that use a vertical format when held in
an upright position?  In other words feed the film horizontally.  I know
the 645 Kiev does, but I was thinking more along the lines of Mamiya.

Can anyone give me exposure settings for nite photo's of the monuments in
Wash, DC? I need base exposures and I'll bracket from there.
Thanks

I would like to know why 70mm failed (I have a follow up question a
few lines down.)
Why did it fail?  The only thing I miss from 35mm was the easy loading
cartridges.  It looks like 70mm was slightly larger with the benefit

What is the difference between "620" film and "120" film, please?  Can
someone please point me to a website with specifications for "620" sized
film?  I need to know how wide this film is and what size image is typically
produced on this film.  57mm-ish wide like most cameras that ...

It may be Nokia.  Those awful cellular phones with built in cameras
are really taking off!  Sorry Kodak.

I know you can get roll film backs for large format but I saw that you can
get a 35mm back for a Bronica SQAi. Does this mean I can sell my 35mm gear
and just use one camera that produces both Medium Format and 35mm ? Has
anyone got any experience or thoughts on this and any ...

When I get my 4"X6" prints back from the film (35mm) processor,
I select some for 8"X10" enlargements.  When I get these prints
back, almost every one comes back washed out.  As a result, I went
digital and printed 8X10's myself and these are as color rich as

What if you took a 55mm "wide angle" lens for MF and attached it to a
35mm camera to use as a "normal" lens, would there be any appreciable
difference in performance when compared to a 50mm "normal" lens made for
35mm?

I probably should post this somewhere else, but I'm not quite sure
where.  I usually use manual flash and just adjust my aperture for the
distance as I really don't trust the "automatic" feature on most flash
units.  I was thinking about bounce flash and was wondering if that
