Yea, just got it back and can't wait to try it out. Darn I wish I had
ordered my film sooner (get it late next week!). I'll need to fashion a
lensboard and will try my 480 APO Nikkor as my first lens in use on this
monster. Wish me luck!!

Yes from the Market St. Bridge in Tiffin, OH. (Which happens to be Seneca County.)

Hi, Would it be possible to have an opinion on the quality, service and time it took to have the work done? Also, the price of having the replacement done. You can send me the information privately. I ask because a local dealer has an 11x14 for sale and it needs a new bellows and ground glass. Knowing the cost of a bellows replacement would give me an idea of the final total expenditure for the camera. Thanks. Regards, Bogdan J.

Bogdan: This is great! Even thinking about that bellows-less 11x14 means that you're getting the very large format disease! Run... don't walk to that local dealer of yours. Do it! The cost doesn't matter because the results are so great. I only shoot 11x14 chromes, (until my stash runs out)... an 11x14 chrome is really something to behold. I have some here: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.hemenway.com/11x14" target="_blank">http://www.hemenway.com/11x14</a> but the jpegs don't even begin to do them justice. I scan them at 800 dpi and print them on a 2200... they look equal to contact prints. -- Jim - <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.hemenway.com" target="_blank">http://www.hemenway.com</a> Bogdan Karasek wrote: > Hi, > > Would it be possible to have an opinion on the quality, service and time > it took to have the work done?

Hi Tom: Thanks for the compliment. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.hemenway.com/CharlesRiverProtar590.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.hemenway.com/CharlesRiverProtar590.jpg</a> Yes, it's the Boston skyline from the MIT boat house. Ektachrome 100 scanned on an older 11x17 Epson 836XL into Photoshop, where I had to do some color correction and which is almost always the case because the colors as scanned rarely match the original chrome. This photo was taken with the rear cell of a B&L Protar VII. Both front and rear cells are the same... 23 1/4 inches - f12.5 when used singly, (about 590.55mm), and 13 1/4 - f6.3 when used together. The unit has two aperture scales, the outer for both cells at f6.3 and the inner for a single cell at f12.5. It's mounted in a Compound shutter. The front cell has a serial number ending with 7344. The engraving on the rear cell has a lot of wear but appears to end in 7343. If there is any coating, it's not apparent.
