Hi,Hoggers! I recently received a Ricohflex VII TLR.I have a question about film.Can I use color 120 film,or do I need a special back? I googled myself into a stupor,but couldn't find any specific info re: color film.
Thank you !
Annie


120 is the standard film. You only need a special back insert if you want to use 135 (i.e., "35 mm") film.

GC, that explains the basic operation--connecting through the PC connection on the lens. The cable release on the lens takes the shot as it would on a view camera, synced through the PC connection (set on X I assume, where applicable).

For that reason the Speed Graphic has two possible issues. First, if using barrel lenses (and the camera's focal plane shutter), the lens has no PC contact. And second, though the camera itself has a flash contact, it is not PC--it is a two-pronged socket (and it is M sync only--not X adaptable). Still, using lenses with their own PC-X would work the same as with any view camera.

Are pictures taken onto a memory card, as in a digital camera?

Charles,

Yes, the Aptus 75 back uses a standard Compact Flash Memory Card.

I don’t own a Speed Graphic myself and, to be honest, haven’t even seen any Graflex press camera “in the flesh” for years, so I really can’t say anything useful one way or the other with regard to the potential issues you mention. About all I can do is suggest that you try posting questions to forums like Graflex.org, Large Format Photography, Photrio or even Rangefinderforum where most of the folks who use these cameras on a regular basis hang out.

Oh, and, Happy New Year!

GC, that looks wonderful. Does the digital back need to connect to the Hasselblad lenses for autofocus, or can you just use classic lenses with it? Does it use batteries or some power source? Is connection to a computer part of the operation, or just an option? (Can you just trip the lens shutter to take a shot, like film backs?)

To me, one of the great advantages would be using my best lenses rather than having to buy all those Hassie lenses.

I found an adapter for less than half the price, but it shoots blind, like traditional film holders. Of course, I am used to that on large format, but I have a Speed Graphic that has rangefinder

Let me say, first off, that the reference to “Hasselblad” only refers to the way the back attaches to the adapter. In other words, this particular adapter only accepts digital backs that utilize the Hasselblad as opposed to, say, Mamiya 645, mounting system. It has no other significance.

This Aptus 75 back has it’s own attached battery for power and is fired by simply connecting it to the flash pc-socket of the lens -- any lens you like -- via a cable similar to the one HERE. It can be tethered if desired but that’s not necessary. The image is displayed on a 2x3 inch screen on the back (which, unfortunately, you can’t see in the photo because I forgot to remove the protective cover .)

Sorry but I’ve got no experience using a digital back on a Speed Graphic.

Thanks--yes, that is what I was looking for, in a much more elegant mode. It doubles the sensor coverage by the sliding frame. But it does convert the Hasselblad H series backs to Graflok 4x5 cameras.


I have a fotodiox adaptor + Leaf Aptus 75 digital back that I use with both my Ebony SV45Ti (below) and Horseman L45 monorail.

Silvestri is another well known brand that sells a wide range of sliding backs. (And there are a variety of others -- check out the older article HERE -- that show up on ebay from time to time.)

I was browsing eBay and found this camera for sale at a price of $499.99. The seller states that it is very rare. In all accompanying photos it appears legit. It's basic characteristics appear similar to the T70 and T50 models.
However I was unable to locate any information on the internet related to this model. It does not even appear on Canon's camera museum web site.
Has anyone ever seen one of these?

Sorry. This was a story passed on to me. No idea if it was true but did find it fun to read while thinking of my encounter with an electric fence years ago.


Some guy who calls himself “45acp” posted this back in 2007. Claims it’s a true story. You can read the complete, original version HERE.

Yeah, but I still think “Cadet Bone Spurs” is the one that’ll make it into the history books. (It’s got to be one of the best P**********l nicknames ever.

Now you know why photo lenses are expensive.
No I do not know which lens this is.


It’s a cross section of the 2nd version of a Leica Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50. Here’s a little blurb from PetaPixel.

Thinking about doing some framing but it is difficult without the right tools. Anyone know where to find this stuff? I searched the Internet but got so much cr.. back I gave up.


Check out Framing4yourself. Not the cheapest place around but they do have a wide variety of framing tools and supplies for everyone from the scratch builder to someone who just wants to mat a few items. There’s a helpful tutorial section as well.
