I don't have what you ask for, but I have a few Linhof Technika II plate backs if you need a spare for butchering... :)

8x10" is one of the few sizes I don't use, but I hope to change that when i finally get around to assembling my 8x10" Gandolfi Traditional. It was bought in parts, wood bits only... I do however use 18x24cm, in an old German plate camera. And 24x30cm in another. Backpack with lenses, holders, film a...

I just received a mail with the postage to Norway, so he seems to have found out that it's possible.

But thanks for the kind offers, and I promise I'll bring the lens across the North Sea on some occasion. :)

Thanks, friends.

I'm waiting for the seller to work out the postage - both in UK and to Norway. He doesn't seem too experienced with international sales...:)

A little UK help needed!

I've just won an ebay auction for an old Dallmeyer Adon, and the seller would prefer to ship only within UK... So would anyone be willing to act as a "stopover" for this old lump of metal and glass? Then I'll send you the money for postage to Norway, and when it arrives I'll send you a print as than...

I do - develop B&W and E6 from 35mm to 30x40cm, enlarge everything from 35mm to 5x7" (B&W only so far), and contact print any size.

Hello Ole, Thanks for your help. Here is a close-up. I am not sure it helps much. Charles It does. It's one of the Armillaria mellea group. There are at least six different species lumped together under this name, because they are impossible to tell apart. Even a good microscope is not enough - you...

It's difficult to be certain as I can't see the stems properly, but it looks quite like an Armillaria mellea s.l. , or "Honey fungus", AKA "Bootlace fungus". It's edible, but not recommended as it can sometimes give severe allergic reactions. It's also one of the very few fungi that damage living tr...

Tasty - yes, but be advised that there will be an adverse reaction when eating this mushroom and taking alcohol - complex subject this, be careful if tempted! Eh no - that's another mushroom in the same family. The shaggy ink cap is considered to be edible without reservations (as long as it's fres...

A 210 of 240mm lens sounds about right. Up to 300mm really, but at that point the lenses start getting really huge or really dark. IMO the "sweet spot" is around 240mm. These lenses have the added advantage that I can use them on severl cameras too - 5x4, 7x5 and 8x10"! At the moment I don't have an...

I wouldn't mind inviting you over here, but maybe it's easier if I go there?

Anyway my hope is that it's at a time when I'm able to attend. And to bring the car over, to save me carrying all the "stuff"...

... I don't know why there is a nodal point - any ideas?... I assume you mean the nodal point at 5.71 degrees? I wondered about that, had a suspicion and calculated arctan(0.1) and got 5.71 degrees (rounded). It's because your 0-point is the location of the film, while you're tilting the lens. And ...
