A stupid Question

here is a stupid question.... how long do you think LF will continue? The only reason I ask is that Ive recently bought my MPP MK VII. Although, quite honestly I know an LF camera is basically a box with a hole at both ends separated by replacable bellows and easily replacable lenses, I wonder..woul...

Re: Schneider Angulon 12cm F6.8

On a positive note Ian, theres no chance of me forgetting Ive left the shutter open and fogging film... Update also.... Ive taken the ground glass off, extended belows and had a brief peer inside. I was concerned that the bellows may have been split as there is a crack in red leather in one place, b...
