By the grace of a good friend, I get to have my first go at MF. He has
lent me a Mamiya RB67 Pro S with Sekor 90mm f3.8.

My Kodak Duaflex IV twin lens reflex camera has only two shutter
speeds, "instant" and "long" (meaning time exposure, same as B, I

there's an excellent Hassie used dealer about 150 miles south ...

I just moved to Lancaster county. I am jonesing slightly now that it takes a
lot longer than 45 minutes to get to B&H for my gear fix :) but the shakes

Hello, I found a Rollei TLR hood.
Is there some reference as to the sizes

After 15 years of international travel, a ripped off (and self-repaired)
front lens cell (beware sticking your camera through whirling bicycle
spokes in Brittany!) and a sticking rangefinder, all the while
delivering great negs, it's time to get my war-weary Fuji GS645 to a

I use a Bronica ETRSi.  I was recently on a trip when the 120 film holder
accidentally opened.  Suggestions on whether this incident damaged the whole
roll/or part of it and whether its a waste of time would be appreciated.
Thanks

the site specifies the lens is an 80mm f2.8 HFT lens. The front of the lens
confirms this; however, is there any way of deciphering whether the lens is

I'm fed up of searching the net. No Polaroid on-line shop (shame on you
Polaroid!). If anyone knows where I can get this film, it would be
appreciated.
