Advertisement Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Hi Washington, Take a look here Visos out of the moving box.. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Rick Posted June 28, 2014 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2014 Hi Rip! That is a lot of Visioflexs. Welcome back from where ever you were. I have thought about you now and again especially when any Rube Goldberg Visio-contraptions were posted here while you were gone. Or, when the Sony A7r came out with all of the adaptors available for a photographer like you Where did you move to and good to hear from you?

Washington Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted June 28, 2014 They were junk when I bought them........ I really enjoyed restoring Viso's until I said to myself just what you said above. Enough, already! Time to restore old brass H.O. Steam Engines with super German & Swiss D.C. precision motors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted June 28, 2014 Rick, I moved to where a fellow (chap) name of Washington Irving Tragle IV aka Rip SHOULD BE. Red Hook, NY..... in the wonderful Hudson River Valley within spitting distance of the Catskill Mountains. Should I go to sleep now? OK, wake me up in 25 years.

stuny Posted July 1, 2014 Share #7 Posted July 1, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Rip - Not too far south of you is a terrific little French restaurant. This is what we say about it on our site: Buffet de le Garre -- Yes, it's a block or two from the Hastings train station, but it might as well be in Paris. The food is classic French bistro, authentic and excellent. The owner is charming and she's good at hiring delightful staff. There were some very minor service gaffes, but they were handled with such warmth and humor that it actually improved the experience. Manhattan quality at half the price. 155 Southsuide Avenue. 914-478-1671. Buffetdelagareny.com. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the BUFFET DE LE GARRE is exactly where you might find him hanging out... not that he wouldn't appreciate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orient XI Posted July 28, 2014 Share #9 Posted July 28, 2014 I hope their French cooking is better than their French it should be Buffet de la gare. The website gives financial advice and has nothing to do with gastronomy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblutter Posted August 17, 2014 Share #12 Posted August 17, 2014 What is the adaptation required for use on an M9? Nick You have to calibrate them to account for the flat plane of the sensor vs. the curvature of film. Involves shimming up the focus plane (under the mount of the ground glass) - and then adjusting the angle of the mirror to recenter the image on said glass via one or 2 adjustment points - depending on model. Then a bit a tweaking back & forth whilst shooting tests. Very rewarding when you get it really right and can shoot with confidence even wide open. I wrote fairly detailed instructions on the M9 blog about a 2 yrs ago - do a search. I used various thicknesses of paper as shims - still bang on today. Patience and small hobby tools...
