In positive news: finally got this janky cine-S mount adapter off the turret of body no. 2 of the maurer.

Why is finding equivalents to old lube such a pain in the ass?
Esso doesn’t exist anymore. Exxon/mobil doesn’t explicitly list p-290 anymore, but do list a p325 which may cause swelling on the fibre gear. There’s a direct correlation to p290 to exxon 5127, but no catalog listing.

Time for new grease.

Anyone else annoyed by BlueSky advertising that one shirt with Latin on it?

Buy one of our shirts, they’ve got camera stuff on them.

This is so dumb but hilarious.
(Technically we ditched “i” beams in the 60’s, for the “wide flange beam” which is basically the H shape they’re talking about. Or tubular shapes.)

An ikea shelf piled high with all sorts of film cameras

finally got a 20 dollar ikea shelf and made a monument to my photographic poor financial decisions of years past

The default flash unit for the perfex, cee-ay 35, and ciro 35 is so ridiculous. Also annoyingly made of tennite butyrate so it has a habit of shrinking.

I currently think that it’s the 4x5 pacemaker graphic

In this case, each was a flash test, so that means at least one camera’s flash sync mechanism requires work.

Ok, which test failed haha

Tesr shot dev time. Guess the film ;P

Yeah hoping the timing is correct, so I don’t have to futz with the adjustment

Got around to soldering a new cord for the solenoid, so time to test

I need to hunt down one of these 4x5 super d vulcanoid cases.

a new analog format. YouTube video by CAMERADACTYL Cameras

This is legitimately kinda insane, and I love it. I want that 4” roll back. If only we can get a 4” film to stuff in this sucker, then it would legitimately be a solid solution for 4x5 work with the Graflex.

Biiig camera :D

Sheet film was too thin to use the sheet basket. Switched to hangers and got ok results. Bonus, the bag mag didn’t fog them.

Ughh. Test neg for the jet is bad.

Must’ve eaten the sprockets and the leader must’ve slipped.

Test negs came out, but… i can’t remember which is which camera hahaha

A leafless tree stands alone in a dark, open field, its branches reaching like veins against the stormy sky. Snowflakes streak across the frame, captured in motion by the analog film, creating a ghostly, dreamlike effect. To the left, an old wooden barn leans into the scene, adding to the timeless, haunting atmosphere. The grainy black-and-white texture enhances the feeling of solitude and quiet resilience

I don’t love readjusting this thing. The setscrews are fiddly and you need a sheet of film to check that the top is levelled correctly. But i don’t shoot enough sheet stock rn to justify wasting developer to oxidation to keep deep tanks full so I can use hangers.

Looks like the telephoto bed scales on my pre-anni, have infinity at around 7-7.5”
Most telephotos are ½ the bellows draw of the stated focal length, so that puts if to a 14 or 15” telephoto like the dallmeyer or cooke. I don’t think it’s the Schneider given the provenance.

I need to shoot with mine more.

A few film shots from my last trip to #Ribblehead … I like how these give a “was this shot this year, or in 1900?” vibe

It would be a perfect shot were it not for my rangefinder falling out of calibration. Wound up using an orange filter, which seperated the sky out nicely.
