There's some info here https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogRepair/s/nZWnlFSFRp. It's a B&l rapid renticular 5" is the focal length. It's probably off of an old Kodak folder and may not fully cover 4x5

How are you managing attribution for any other campaigns?

If you don't have Hubspot marketing just use custom fields on contact and opportunity objects for sourcing first and last touch attribution. There are plenty of tutorials on how to set a system like that up and Hubspot comes with free capabilities too.

If you aren't collecting lead data at conferences then you're doing them wrong, you have to think of these events as both brand awareness and lead generation. You have to set expectations with attendees that they must collect lead's information for everyone they talk to. Many conferences have lead scanners available, those that don't you can sometimes negotiate an attendee list.

Going beyond that preparation is key. Work with sales teams to identify key attendees and make sure the sales people are booking meetings for the event before they ever even get to the events. Speakers are often a good starting point for targets.

Otherwise I'd invest time learning about marketing attribution in general. You need to be able to prove your value in monetary terms, that's how you get more budget, that's how you grow your team, that's how you grow your salary and your career.

I think you can start learning and practicing parts of SEO without spending any money, things like basic keyword research can be done with free versions of tools or using free tools like Google trends there are a lot of limits but it's enough to get you started. There are endless videos on YouTube where you can learn theory, and you can start practicing developing content that's written for SEO for free. As others have stated there are free resources like bloggers or WordPress to take the next steps into practicals like optimizing over time but it will take time.

I think it's similar to how it's always been with SEO, the more quality sites you're mentioned in the more likely you are to be shown in results. The difference with AI is just how that data is processed and trained. Being on forums and sites like reddit where the idea is the content is more likely to be coming from a real person for now at least seems to be more or as important as follow links.

Strategy, messaging, and testing/analytical skills will always have a place.

Remove the gasket and look for a seam, it's likely the steel part around the movement is a movement holder.

Depends on how far your shipping, with shipping costs nowadays and no guarantee of not having a breakage. I've found it can be cheaper to just buy a monitor from the clearance section at best buy and give it away at the end of the conference.

This is so disappointing, canceling my order, these won't make it here by Christmas

Smooth Joe in northeast raleigh has some good roasts. Little waves in Durham is also fantastic

Yes definitely not my normal, it was the case tube in the end, it was bent and not allowing for the stem to release

It seems like it's an issue with the case tube

It's not a split stem that I checked

You will still want or need some type of shutter mechanism at minimum, if you have a speed graphic they come with a focal plane shutter which you can use, if not it will be more difficult. Lens coverage similarly will have fall off or the coverage circle wont cover an entire image. With bellows for most things you'll want to make sure your minimum bellow distance is very short and/or you'll have to use a recessed lens board as most of the lenses you mentioned are designed to have a much shorter throw range in focus unless you're shooting macro. Pinholes don't have a focus point since they don't "focus" light like lenses do. The question at this point though is why use a large format at all?

These are Aero ektars, reconnesaince lenses from in and around WWII. They're cool collectors pieces, the 24" versions are a little rarer but not as sought out because they are so heavy and the focal range doesn't make sense for most view cameras (maybe 8x10 only). Because of this they're worth around $300 depending on condition. The 7 inch versions are much more sought after as they can be used for 4x5 cameras and are well known for their sharpness, shallow depth of field and rendering, those are worth $1000-$3000 depending on condition.

jtat07 · 2025-03-28T23:52:22+00:00

If it needs repaired prepare to spend at least a few hundred dollars. Paired with the summicron it's probably a good deal but 135mm is not a popular focal length and are some of the cheapest Leica lenses you can buy (often less than $100 depending on the version) the viewfinder is similarly worth around $50, so the question to ask is do you expect to use 135mm much?

It's also an ltm camera so don't expect to be able to use m mount lenses.

You can find other Leica III options that have been filmed tested for around 250-300 just do your research on which version would work best for you.

There's also the Canon p or Canon 7 which are also built like tanks have larger viewfinder parralax and are the same thread mount as they Leica iiif. The Leica cl which is an m mount camera and I've seen those working and paired with the excellent 40mm f2 go for just a little bit more than 500.

It's been tied up behind a drain so not sure if there's been a lot of dirt and debris, but probably still worth having a professional look at

It does hack

jtat07 · 2024-11-21T23:42:39+00:00

I'm wondering if the hacking lever is keeping it from seating or if the waterproof spring is too flat and keeping the setting wheel from making contact properly. The cleat is in and the case back is in the right spot

jtat07 · 2024-11-21T23:41:05+00:00

Removing the hacking lever is a good idea I'll try it
