The websites don't list intended useage, so it's total guess work as to
the weight ratings of these things.  I have three tripods and I'd like
to add QR to all of them.  The heaviest camera I'll be using will be
the RZ67, with nothing longer than a 250mm lens.

I recently purchased a used 50mm Mamiya shift lens for my 645, but I cannot
figure out how to rotate the lens?  Can anyone help?

I'm thinking a selling my 2x3 Pacemaker Speed Graphic.
I've already gotten one expression of interest, but I
have no idea what these things are worth these days.
I've got the camera with a 101mm Optar lens as well as

I'm going to shoot some macro medium format underwater using my RZ.
This may read a little odd.
In fact the subjects will be in an aquarium.  Lighting will be studio
flash.  Reading about the RZ and flash I'm slightly surprised there

It seems that my Pentacon Six has become attached to my sonar lens, does
anyone have any ideas on a tool that I can use?? I am in New York city.

My lens is: 80mm, SN Nr565xxxx, with a correctly fitting filter with
"Hasselblad/50" written on its rim.
Is the lens hood that will fit this is a "Bay 50" ?
I only ask because recently I was sent a "60/80 Hasselblad" after requesting

I posted a while back, everyone here was very helpful so I wanted to
get a little more input.
I've been using my new/old Koni-Omega Rapid/90mm with decent results,
I'm going to a local pro lab to get the film developed and printed -

I know this is a "how long is a piece of string question", as tripods
come in an infinite variety of size/weight/cost variations with all
the tradeoffs involved. But I thought I'd get some ideas on this.  All
I have at the moment is a Benbo Trecker used for 35mm work.  And it's

I'm interested in buying a Lubitel medium format camera, can some one
tell me where I can buy one other than ebay or used.  I live in Canada
for now is there a company in Canada in Canada that sells the lubitel
or the Holga cameras.

Hello guys.  I have been playing around with a friends Pentax 6X7
camera.  It is a beautiful medium format camera that sounds like some
one is loading a shoot gun when it goes off.  CanI please get some
feedback on the pictures?

I'm looking for instructions of RF adjustment procedure for Mamiya Press (
Standard ). I found some info about Universal Press, but it is different
body and has different RF assembly.
Thanks in advance,

Over the past few years I've had several occasions where my color perception
was questioned, usually by people at least half my age (and most stridently
by our Asian artists.)

My photos mostly fall into the landscape or architecture category (the
crumbling ruin end).  I don't do a great deal of MF photography.  I'm
coming to the conclusion that something like Portra 160NC is my best bet
for a colour film.  Given that it is, I beleive, a portrait film this ...

There's a new page up at http://chasfs.com/fireman.py which contains a
photo that I took the other day.  I've saved it with an old version of
Photoshop so it should be a bit of a challenge to tell how it was made.
