Re: Restoring smooth opening on a Retina II?

Interesting. Now that’s what I was expecting. I could never cypher out a spring like cation though. Lived hell out of everything but no go. I’m satisfied with mine as-is. Yours is a fine looking camera! Waiting to see the results.

Thanks, Mike. Didn’t take the ferry this time, but have in the past. If you ever do, do not lock the car and turn on the alarm. DAMHIKT.

Cape May, NJ (mostly) and a Super Regent...

Hi, all - Finally developed the first roll off the Ansco Super Regent I worked on, well, sometime last year, year before, this year... MiL and PiL turned 80 this year, and we all went down to Cape May, NJ to celebrate. Seemed like a good opportunity to test the camera out. Shot most of a roll of Kod...

Re: Monocacy Creek, 2025

The restored camera's looking good, the shots are looking good, the restored you, well....:lol: I imagine that second shot would be interesting in colour too, though that would undoubtedly come at a cost! Look forward to seeing some more of your LF shots. Thank you. The camera's aces, I'm happy wit...

Re: Monocacy Creek, 2025

Your LF rig is working fine! Hope that you can get that 5” lens. That place looks very interesting as a subject, with those roots and the trees behind and the little pond in front. Of course no way to get the water reflections with those exposure times, almost like pinhole photography! Good to know...

Thanks! Glad to be shooting again; need to dedicate more time to it. Too many fires, not enough irons.

Monocacy Creek, 2025

'Morning, all - Took the B&J to Monocacy Hill yesterday for some shooting. Yes - it was time for the every-few-years shots of the local waterfall. Still recovering from last year's surgeries, and something close and familiar is better than nothing at all. A scout a couple years back cut in a new...
