Hauled this puppy home today.



Seems to work fine so far. Lamp lights, motor works.

4x5, 6x7 and 35mm carriers, 2 safelights, Nikor 50mm lens, two lensboards, compete and barely used set of 12 Ilford polycontrast filters, timer, and misc. sundry items as well.

That is one heck of a find. Now you can really put the RB67 to work.

Gotta get a different lens first. It only has a 50.

But picked up some paper & developer (and trays) and am going to attempt some 35mm tonight.

I picked up my lenses from an EBAY seller for a reasonable price for the bundle. I have some duplication, I will look through them. I don't have a 6 x 7 carrier for the Durst, but I have two 6 x 6, so I can cut one out.

If you have something in the 90-135mm range, let me know. If I ever locate my old 645 negs, I may try to print some of those for S&Gs.

But.................................





It's officially................



..... my first wet print in 30-some years.

I just can imagine the "frisson" you felt inside you after all those years, in the moment the image begun to come...

Lucky guy, congrats for the "toy"!!!

Cheers,
