Does anyone know the status of Cambidge Camera in NY?
I placed a web order for film, received no confirmation, no e-mails and when I
attempt to call them, no one answers the phone. Yet, their on-line
catalog/order system is still functioning. Needless to say, I will certaining

I have a old M645 with a standard prism that was been a great camera for me.
I have seen some 645E bodies used at KEH at decent prices and I was
wondering if I would be gaining much improvement by buying the body and
using my old 80mm and 55mm M645 lens that I have. They should be

I am getting a scanner for my 6x7 negatives.  There are pretty good buys
on the Nikon 8000's now, but what are the major differences compared to
the 9000?  I have a Minolta 5400 for my 35mm film, so how is the Minolta
Scan Miulti Pro?  The prices seem pretty high, so is that ...

I recall someone mentioning the 250mm plus tube is good for tight head
shots. Which tube is recommended?
(BTW, i'm a bit excited- might be getting a 50mm and 250mm- older black CT*
type for the combined price of ?150... woohoo!)

I am replacing the light seals on the film backs for a Mamiya Universal.
I am using Foamex material that I cut into strips, but am wondering what kind
of joints or technique I should put/use at the corners to minimize light
leakage.

I know this must be a common request, but I'd like a bit of info on a
recently-acquired TLR.

I would rather to believe that the more you pay, the more you get. But
practically speaking, if you are considering to go digital, would it
make more sense to get a digital back or simply go for a 35mm style
DSLR?

Used Hassies 503CXi are about half the price of  a (used)  Hassy 503CW,
yet CXi seems to take the CW winder (unless I am wrong), and is almost
indistinguishable from the newer camera. Any thoughts or comments
greatly appreciated.

I've got an Olympus Stylus Zoom 130 and a Canon GIII QL17
for 35mm carry-around bodies.  But I'd like something for
120 as well.  At this point I'm looking at Frank Rolfix &
perhaps also an Ikonta.  Both are reasonably compact and

Takes 120 film and yields 8 images.  Has a 105mm Nettar lens with f6
to f45 and B, 1/20, 1/75 and 1/200 shutter speeds.
The field of view is very wide, but I must scale focus and the
viewfinder doesn't due justice to the image on the film.

I'm considering a Mamiya AFD system and would like to hear from folks who
have experience with the system.
I'm less concerned about the AF and digi  vs. reliability, user friendly,
etc.

 Thanks for replying in advance.
Am moving to Bel Air Maryland and would like to become involved with a camera
club in the area if there is one.  Any help is appreciated.  I am on the Board
of directors of an area camera club here in Upstate NY and would like to

I've beens shooting medium format for about 7 years now, first with a
Yashica 4x4, then with a Mamiya C220, and now with a Mamiya RB Pro-SD.
All of my work was done in the studio, with a light meter and controlled
lighting; my outside work was done with 35mm.

I just got a Mamiya RZ67 pro II, I have a few questions.  The manual
says it wont fire with the dark slide in, but mine does, then I don't
see the battery normal light on in the finder, is there supposed to be
something lighting up when I press the shutter?  I have the w/l finder
