FOBA Replacing the Pads on the Heads by Nokton48, on Flickr

Rollei SL66 Anniversary Diamond Rubber, a Friend bought large sheets of it when the repair there closed. This makes a great replacement for that Red FOBA stuff that disintegrates over time. Used cork to do these other two you see. What else do you Guys use?? 🙂

I made once this disc of cork... but I am not satisfied how it preforms!
It is too wobbly and the tripod head feels too unstable. A much more denser and a bit thinner material will be better.
I am still looking for a replacement. 🙄

Matching Trio Kern Arau Apo Repro Lenses 210mm 300mm 360mm by Nokton48, on Flickr

Not FOBA but from Switzerland 🙂

A Matching Trio of Kern Arau Apo-Repro Lenses. These three are in the Norma Catalog and I've finally found all three. Need to do some metalwork to attach them to these correct Norma Boards. On two of them I have removed the Aperture Control Mechanisms and finished up the holes. I'll be using these, the 210mm F6.8, the 300mm F9, and the 360mm F11.

How many lenses do you need to complete the whole catalog listing? 😆😍👍

Hi!

It went away on it's own, after I powered it up and down a few times. No sign of it now. 🙂

I just bought a Phase One Sliding Hasselblad Back for the Norma. Things are good......

Well I don't have the 800mm F9 Apo Ronar, but I have the 790mm F14. The 800 is heavy as a boat anchor.

Other than that I have at least one of everything 🙂 Use them all too!

New to me and also originally from Switzerland 🇨🇭 but imported from the US 🇺🇸, from Lake Zurich Illinois for be precise... 😉😌,
a very rare Broncolor P60-90 Zoom-reflector that I found recently on the famous bay... now the new home of it is also not far away from the original Lake Zurich in Switzerland... 😆🤣 here we call it Zürisee (in Swiss-German)

I was looking for one and I waited almost three years to found one offered.
It is also in great condition. There is just a little dent on the border but nothing that would interfere with the light.

It seems to be a modified P70. The geometry and dimension match and also P70 grids and barn doors can be attached...

The Zoom Head! Nice. Not many are offered.
