Not as such, Gary. It is sitting on the floor next to a bench in the studio. I must print a locking ring for the shutter release and use it again.

And all very nicely done and presented as always, Shaun.

What an interesting thread, and what an interesting camera. Aside from a few bits for lighting, I have yet to design / print any proper photographic gear. Having read this, I can think of a few bits that would improve the BlackBoxy2 that is described on this site and built as part of a ‘DIY...

Certainly nothing wrong there and a nice set to boot. I do like that boarded-up doorway. And the highlights on the statue are lovely.

Looking good, Gary. At f/22 and that distance I suspect the impact of the swing applied was minimal, but it wouldn’t have hurt. Did the loupe help?

I don’t use mine anywhere near enough, but I plan to change that. I will close the one in the UK though as it is in the laboratories and the room is used for UV microscopy and it would be difficult to do much in there now. Hopefully someone will want the processors and enlarger, etc.

I was thinking about New55 the other day, maybe prompted by the discussion on LF, and so I revisited some of the threads about it. That led me to this image. I was quite negative about it and, seeing it again online, I can sort of see why. However, it is still hanging on the wall of the...

Having the screen the wrong way round certainly would throw the focus out. Mind, depending on the image and the f-stop something should be in sharp focus and in the last one it looks like some parts are.

Weird title, but hopefully the link works for you. There are much cheaper ones out there.

Something like this...

Okay, it sounds like you are closing in on the issue. You are using a loupe, but from your description is sounds like a jewellers loupe rather one you can place on the screen. Is it? The latter will be much easier to use.

The scales simply show the distance between the front of the lens board and the film plane. The white scale is the normal one and the orange / red scale is for when rear extension has been applied. I assume you are focussing using the screen at maximum aperture and then stopping down to give...

I don’t see an option, but I will check also with XenForo support.

Welcome to RPF, Antonio. I will see if there a way of adding an option for a ‘dark mode' Kind Regards, Pete
