Walked into the repair shop to buy some film for a job next week, saw this on the shelf while ringing me up and said "oh that's fun"... They said "Yeah it's got a broken hood, but otherwise we CLA'd it and it works perfect. Ran a few rolls through it, it's a huge negative"

I'm not really into rangefinders (I find them infuriating to focus), but at $775 and a fresh CLA.. Yeah I'll give 6x9 a shot! Great timing as I just got my 4x5 field kit put together....

Figure if it doesn’t speak to me, I can rehomenit fir what i paid for it

Got a decent 100MP scan out of Tri-X 320 stitching a pano.

Big thing was making sure my old lenses worked. This was with a Nikkor 210 5.6, did some others with a 135mm 5.6 from the same spot, have a 300/5.6 I still need to test. I figured the St Johns Bridge would be a good test to make sure everything is copasetic. I’m not big into B&W, but pretty happy with how this turned out despite the clouds.

I shot this at f/22, and you can definitely see diffraction on the negative. I think I expected to pull more detail out of it.

Next time I go out, I’m going to shoot the same composition on some 35mm to compare.

Either way, it’s a fun process and I really enjoyed using the camera.

I’m a 21 year old college student, this is my first camera.

1 plan to use this to shoot cosplay😁😁

I’ve got a couple well used lenses that have a bunch of gunk in the letters and controls, I used a toothbrush and some isopropyl and made some decent progress, tried a toothpick to get into the numbers, but it wasn’t fine enough.

Any suggestions?

Hey everybody! I'm a bit worried.

I used a soft brush (see image) to wipe my D750 sensor. It has left these marks on it. They are visible in photos. Are these marks just superficial, can they be cleaned with a cleaning liquid or is my sensor busted?

Thanks!

Ive got an Intrepid 4x5 on order (lighter alternative to my Sinar X). Anyway, lens boards came in the mail (they’re so small!) and I was worried that my 300/5.6 might be too big for the intrepid. I can’t really tell from photos online, but is this enough clearance for the front standard? Worried the lens is too fat.
