A number of people have commented that lens collimation is often poor with Gundlach lenses, which includes their Turner Reich series, and that after Arax have repolished and coated and re-collimated the lens cells their lenses have been far sharper than when new. IIan Yes Ian, that’s the sickness o...

Guys, thanks! I'm pretty sure about Black on White thanks for a tip and I have already written to them describing my problem and what kind of shutters I have. You know much of it hangs on spare parts so let's se what they say. But, recently had been reading a lot on Balham and let me tell you not mu...

For shutters and maybe lenses try... http://www.flutotscamerarepair.com/ They are in the USA but... I have a UK based colleague who says they do a superb job. He has had no problems getting a quick turn around back to the UK. Barry Thanks Barry I will ask them about my shutters, but I thought of th...

Could it be this http://www.optil.co.uk/ you were taking about?

Balham Optical, London, not sore of their address. But the guy in Ukraine is probably far better, his company rebuilds new Kievs etc and is highly reputable, he can also repolish and multicoat lenses. He appears to be highly recommended. But it depends what lens it is the cost may be more than a go...

Does any one know if there is somebody who will repair lens separation in the UK? Also I've got some shutter which should be repaired too.
Thanks, Frankie.

Doomed? Maybe a harsh word. The changing of the ownership doesn’t necesarely have to be a bad thing at all.

Why did it have to be full of Americans? :lol: God question, but somehow the Yanks (European immigrants) took photography to an art level over there and teach the public instead of banging the …. out of themselves as we did in Europe. And still we are nowhere nearby in this continent when it comes ...

If it’s cheer you up a little bit people his majesty the king does the same thing over here too!

Not to mention that the same blue blood running in their vain. They are all brothers and sisters and cousins and second cousins.

. As I said, I will only use it for portraits. It has 3 cassettes for 13x18cm film of which FP4 Plus is available from Retrophotographic. I will probably have a lensboard made to accept a lens with a Copal#1 shutter. Luckily, the Camera didn`t cost too much. I might send one of these to Retrophotog...

I`ve just bought a Russian FKD 13x18cm format Camera fairly cheap. I am going to see if I can get the lens-board modified to accept a modern lens of around 210-240mm as I will probably use it only indoors for portraits. I am hoping that the cassettes will allow me to use FP4 Plus film sheets. I don...

Hi Uranium, I don't know enough about it, but for an impulse thing, if it was around, why ...yes! It's surprisingly cute looking for a whole plate camera. I take it, this camera uses whole plate DDS, since bookform plate holders are not in keeping with the age nor the technology of the era. Just lo...

http://prittsel.googlepages.com/szilardszabad I want one!! Sigh. That is just so gorgeous and elegant. I might be able to help you on this one if you are dead serious they do coming up sometimes on auctions here. Not to often but now and then and mostly during the wintertime. In the meantime I will...

Nice one Uranium! Any examples of the Swedish whole-plate? This is something I've never seen, mostly having only witnessed the British camera industry side of things. Rob! Here it is and I'm a shame as I didn't know my history well. I sad earlier that his name is Laszlo but it's not! His name is Sz...

Argentum cameras are just one of the fine example of the European craftsmanship! Just for the historical record, here in Sweden there was a LF manufacturer too, and he was also a Hungarian Mr Laszlo Szabad. He was the one and only manufacturer of the wooden field cameras in this country. Should be S...
