Can anyone recommend a quality 6x9 camera and lens for someone on a
budget? It doesn't have to be state of the art - an older 60's, 60's
or 70's one will do so long as its going to produce sharp results.  I
would prefer to get something thats top-of-the-range but old, rather

Please no posts that say it ain't worth it.  The camera has sentimental
value.  It has a sticking shutter and the mirror's lost it's luster.  If
I could get it into working order, it would make one older gentleman
very happy.  Tried it myself, but I need some replacement parts, ...

I've got an old Zeiss Ikon Ikomat 520 folder with uncoated scale focusing
Tessar lens.  The 6X4.5 camera works quite well but unfortunately for me, with
Ilford rollfilm I'm unable to use the red windows for accurately advancing the
film and there is no counter.  These red windows ...

The film advance knob on my newly acquired C220 is sloppy.
I haven't owned one of these in 30 years an I can't remember how
sloppy the knob was on the one I had back then. Here's a short
AVI video of the slop:

What is the maximum achievable result for scanning in different film
types in dots per inch? I know scanners can scan to very high
resolution but there must come a time when it is not doing anything
productive. I guess that for the amateur medium format flatbed

Hey folks -
I'm looking at the medium format cameras at my local camera shop. The sales
guy went over medium format with me, and also showed me a 24"x whatever
print from an 8 MP digital camera. So now I don't know what to buy.

Does anybody know where I can get the Mamiya C220 owner's manual
online? Prefer PDF format but any file format would do.
Thanks.

Two questions about Bronica equipment:
1) any comment about Zenzanon PS 150 f/4
2) what enlargement can I obtain mounting the above lens plus
extension tube S-36 on an SQ-A Bronica?

I'm a 24x36 slider and interested into improving the emotional effect so
i'm interested into MF projection. Does most of you practise projection.
What kind of projector can i buy for a "low budget", say 100-300 €. I've
seen a lot of Rollei P11 projectors. Is it possible to project ...

I want to take photos of the Boogeyman.
What do I need?

I'm starting to make some larger prints from my Pentax 6x7 and want to
eliminate as much chromatic aberration as possible. Panotools has a
"correct" filter that can apply radial shifting of the image to
accomplish this.  The problem is getting the parameters for the

i've bought a rolleiflex original with this sn 321187  (1934? or similar
i think) with zeiss tessar and i've saw a planarlike this:

I've been experimenting with a 2.8F Rollei, but am consistently getting
cropping of the image on film vs. that in the viewfinder. This is
especially a problem when using the Rolleinar 1 lenses. I suppose I can
learn to compensate and overcome my training to fill the frame, but

Need some cheap lighting to bounce of ceiling.  There is a Painters version
that has some color balance with lesser output that the regular contractor's
lights.  Looking for users' experience with any of these light sources.  TIA
