Hey y'all ... what enlarging lenses and focal lengths are you using for
your 6x7 work?
A friend is using an 80mm and I seem to recall that a few folks here
were having better results with longer lenses, like 105mm and 135mm.

Hi Guys,
I have a problem. I sold my Polaroid SS4000 to a Canadian guy, it took ages to
reach him, it was apparently stuck in customs. It left me working perfectly and
in pristine condition. It now doesn't appear to work, however there was no
signs of overly rough handling on the box (it was
I have to disagree with JCO here, at least with the broad generalization
of his statement, and the way he presented his opinion.
First, I grew up with a Spottie and a bunch of slow lenses - 35/3.5,
28/3.5; 135/3.5, 20/4.5. I'll agree somewhat that they are a little
more difficult to focus in a

If you over generalize, then yes, IF = floating element.
In the case of Nikon, they refer to a floating element
design, for wide angles, as Close-Range Correction
(CRC). It's intended to improve performance of the lens
when focused close. Aside from the single CRC element

Hi
Just a curiosity. How much money you have spent on photography (equipment,
accessories, film, etc.) since it became your hobby?
I am a budget person and spent less than equivalent US$1500 on my gears in past few
years. But I cannot estimate the large amount for print and slide films.
Who currently has the honors?
Is it Adelheid von Kirschten as the webpage suggests? I'm trying to get a

Addressing JCO's contention that 35mm/3.5 and wide angle lenses are more
difficult to focus in any camera. well, that's just plain flat out
wrong. Apart from wide angle lenses being more forgiving of small
focusing errors, regardless of the camera to which they are attached,
there are
Speaking of wide angles, I bought a Vivitar
Series 1 28mm F1.9 VMC M42 off ebay today ($99).
This lens should be quite a lot easier to focus
than Pentax's 28 3.5 since its 1.5 stops faster.
I've wanted one of these to try for a long time.
Anyone else have any experience with this lens?
Here's a tough question I often ponder. What lens have you decided to sell in
the past that you wish you could take back now.
As for me, it's the 85mm F2 which might not get great results but I wouldn't

Basically it would work just like the ZX-5n. You set the exposure

off this. So it would work with any TTL flash with the MZ-S. The one
