[Cameramakers] JML lenses

2003-01-10 Thread John Cremati
I have a JML 6 1/4 inch f 8 process lens and a JML 8 1/4 f 8  process lens.. They both appear to be extreem wide angle lenses .. Does any one know anything about these lenses , what they will cover  and what type of lens configuration is in them?  The iris stops about 1/2 way with a maximum

[Cameramakers] Flash capacitor energy

2003-01-10 Thread Uptown Gallery
Energy stored in capacitor [Joules] = 1/2 * C*V^2 C in Farads, V in volts. I think the voltage is dumped into a transformer or trigger coil, which might be an autotransformer. Many xenon flashes have a lower arc voltage (tens of volts) and a trigger voltage (4-10 kV depending on size) which goes

OK - my experience & research. I think shipping Atlanta to Holland Michigan was about $21-22 - I was the only bidder and vaguely think $56 shipped. I subconsciously hoped they were wrong about the weight and also convinced myself that the shipping was less than I expected so of course it HAD to be

Some labs will give 'em up, some wont. I think they get some credit for them. I offered one place to pay their deposit/credit value and in the end they changed their mind...the manager couldn't "think out of the box"...just couldn't deal with the idea. I >think< they had 160 uF photoflash electroly

Hi folks, Put the flash as close as possible to the subject to maximise the illumination of the subject. Not close to the camera. Brian ___ Cameramakers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmp.opusis.com/mailman/listinfo/cameramakers

[Cameramakers] Re High speed Flash

2003-01-10 Thread ronald anger
As I recall the flash duration was shorter in duration with flashes designed with higher voltage on the capacitor. Obviously capacity of capacitor would have something to do with duration of course.You really should read Eggerton's book on electronic flash. As flash duration depends largely on the
