Anyone ever use NancyScans? http://www.nancyscans.com/  If so, what did you
think of the quality/service/price?  If not, where do you get medium-format
drum scanned?  I suddenly have a need to make a wall-sized print from 6x6,
so I think I need something a step up from my 8000ED.

I cannot find any information regarding my recent acquisition of a
Kodak Folding Brownie No. 3 Model B. I have searched everywhere, even
Kodak.com, with no success. I really want to know what it is worth. It
is in about as good condition as you could want for something that is

anybody have any info on the argus seventy-five
thanks Brenton

What do you think, is this picture too grainy?

Greetings.  I'm currently working in the 35mm realm and I'm getting
interested in dabbling in the MF world.  I'll have access to borrow Mamiya
M645 1000S bodies and 45mm or 55mm lenses (not sure of the exact specifics
yet, f/stop or prism available).

I just won/bought a 2-1/4x3-1/4 Baby Speed Graphic on eBay and I find that
it needs a few "small" parts to make it "perfect".  My biggest needs are the
"telescope" viewing tube for the Kalart rangefinder and a (Graphlok-type)
Ground Glass back, plus a few other small things.

In all my enthusiasm at the 'new' Pentax 67II, I also bought a
Koni-Omaega Rapid M... my first rangefinder.  How the hell do you focus
the damn thing?  I downloaded a manual and read it, and it talks about
merging the two images, or whatever, but when I go outside I don't see

I tested the shutter speeds on both of my lenses and was surprised to
get non-linear results.
Lenses are an 80 f/2.8 and a 150 f/4.
Setup was an infrared LED and a photodetector connected to a digital

Okay, so I've been happily shooting away with the Yashica, but I have
to wonder:
Why is the viewfinder lens almost one full stop faster than the film
lens (2.8 v 3.5)?  Is this the same with other TLRs?  Why not:

Are there 3rd party lens makers, like Sigma and Vivitar, in Medium
Format? Not that I do not want MAMIYA lenses on my MAMIYA M645, I am
just curious.
Thanks, ROB.

It turns out the grain was due to Internet Bends. I had compressed the image
on a slow computer and then decompressed it on my work system, which is much
faster.  The rapid decompression caused virtual bubbles and clustering of
the grain.

A Canon  EOS 1D s MkII will set you back close to $8k.  Buying a used medium
format camera with lens such as a RB67 with 127mm lens will cost about $400.
Then you need a scanner. A Nikon LS 9000 scanner will cost close to $2k
Film processing for 120 is $4 a roll at my place.   Do ...

  I have had my Rolleiflex MX-EVS for more than 10 months now. I put
through couple of rolls of Astia 100 through it and i like the results
i am getting. Here are couple of quesitons:
1. The slower shutter speeds really drag. 2 sec is more like 4sec, 1
