I am a big fan of f-stop printing; made my decision making much more rational. I use an f-stop table that I designed in MS Excel. Less elegant that the RH Designs, but waay cheaper!

Fair call! Since I got my Durst Lab 1200 for only $50, I decided I could splurge on the timer. Not essential for the technique, but it does make it a lot easier. I also did the spreadsheet thing for a while. With this approach I now feel I have a lot more control over the test strip process, which I need to do since I don't have 30 years experience eyeballing negs to judge print exposure!

Now I'm waiting on more paper and a six-element lens to enlarge my 6x6 negs - ah sweet anticipation! :D
 
Summilux preAsph 50mm from KEH, bargain grade for 750 bucks, chrome. the glass and body are almost perfect, except for a very slight wobble in the rear ring with the focus distance scale, IF you really feel for it.
The focus marker is a hair off at infinity. I suppose an adjustment to the rear ring would run 50-100 bucks, so for 750 THIS IS A FREAKIN BARGAIN ............. those interested can find one more like this at KEH for the same price! cheers

I don't see any 50 luxes on the site now, or am I missing something? Thanks.

I got new toys :)
Today a perfectly mint Summicron Dual Range and perfect Eys to match arrived.
It is a lens I have long wanted to try. Luckily it does mount without any interference on the M6 I have.

Also a rare lens. The Only Sonnar formula reflex normal ever produced. Preset Takumar f2/58mm. I will mostly use this on my 5DII although it did come with the beautiful Asahi it is mounted on. Very few of these. I just got lucky on ebay last week.

Argh! Warsteiner! Lucky me, I will spend a weekend in Hamburg in a few days to cool down my Warsteiner durst (I worked almost one year there and since I came back to France, I do miss German Beer).

Warsteiner's good, but nothing is better than a Pilsner Urquell to me! Have a nice week end.
 
The Leica came in on Monday from Rick in Germany. It is still expecting a J-3 from Mukul in India.
The E-P1 came Tuesday from Amazon.

But Warsteiner has one of the better catch phrases: "Wo es felt, felt was!"

Wrt the mail. (No pics yet) but have been getting parts for my homebrew 4x5/6x12 SW handy type camera project:

Fuji SW 90mm/f8 w/Copal #0 shutter
90mm focusing helix and Linhof lens board
4x5 Graflok back w/ground glass
6x12 120 roll film back
Release cables
Cold shoe mounts for viewfinder and level etc
Socket inserts for tripod mounting

Waiting for finder and some other small parts

Look forward to getting round making a frame and lensbox to mount all this to.
 
just got these two russians, one industar-50 and one industar-69
