I bought an Agfa Isolette II on Ebay ( my first medium format, on a budget
;) ) followed instructions on disassembling to clean it ( my rolls of film
are on the way so I can't start taking pics yet anyway, figured I could do
something usefull..)

Fujifilm just announced a new slide film: Velvia 100 Professional.
Please note, it is *not* the well-known Velvia 100F, it's another
Velvia, with a more vibrant color response, much closer to the
original Velvia (50).

I do live in Los Angeles and need to find someone who can produce a high res
print. I have created 'non-traditional' artwork (for some research) in
Illustrator which contains several thousand super fine lines at a thickness
of less than 1/10 of a millimeter. I need to have the file ...

Yesterday I received as a gift beautiful Opemus Standard 2 enlarger. All as
new condition and works perfectly. Unfortunately, I have no user manual, so
I don't know if this model could be adopted for use with colour head or with
filters for multigrade paper. As I understand it is ...

Bored with all this Apo - superapo willy-waving?
Way back when, I used to buy a magazine called SLR. It had a series of

the EOS mount so I did a search on "process lens" (due to a discussion

lens is called a "process lens") and did not find any EOS Canon lenses

Is it possible to buy the carbon fiber tripod/unipod
or the pan head that Mamiya manufactures, in the U.S.?
I found a dealer in the U.K. that could get it, but
am having trouble here in the states.

If there is any optic technician/expert that can help me with affirmed
