Consumer Warnings

1. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE THROUGH AMAZON.COM. We do not have an account with Amazon, and if you subscribe through them it goes to a third party subscription service and will take weeks for us to get the information. This will delay your receiving your magazines.

2. Beware of scams that all too frequently take place on some of the forums. Many times in the last few years a new company will come on, advertize a new product, or promote themselves as the discount supplier of film, paper, etc. These have been small garage companies that ultimately end up taking people's money and disappearing, and the forum operators and moderators will refuse to take any responsibility for this, even if it has happened previously with the same people and.or company. If their product looks good to you ask them if they have a legitimate third party dealer where you can by their product. If they say no, then avoid them.

Wanted - a 7x17 camera with 2-4 holders. Contact

amiles@viewcamera.com

  Wanted ........  178mm f2.5 Kodak Aero Ektar Lens, Very Fine  
condition, regular or yellow dot.


FYI
I prefer to speak on the phone with anyone who has this lens, as there 
are a number of issues with it.  Firstly, it has an element that is 
somewhat radioactive, and causes the lens to get a brown tint, that 
can be bleached by putting the lens under a UV lamp for a number of 
weeks or for months. (One DOES NOT sleep with this lens next to the 
pillow!)  The early ones were probably uncoated, and the later ones 
that were coated had a yellow dot on the outer ring.  They were 
originally used in the old K28 US Air Force recon. camera.  They give 
fairly "funky" bokeh when used wide open.
I can be called  at
                       home      312 337 5544  until 10 PM  CDST
                                            cell          312 520 5544
