FILM HOLDERS & ADAPTERS & BACKS:

• Bellows Patch material, small bottles, suitable for numerous fixes, $5.50 plus $2.50 shipping - Use ONLY this compound to patch bellows, never silicone or other adhesives. The bellows patch is not a glue, but a liquid designed to be used by itself; it forms the patch by painting on any leaking inside corners of the bellows. It cannot patch a large hole, for example, but heals pinholes in the corners, the most common bellows leakage. See this page for more about light leaks and Bellows Patch use.

**NOTE on Busch TELAR LENSES: Most telephotos are known for their shorter infinity focus, but they usually do not have as much coverage as their regular focal length counterparts. Example: The Graflex 250mm tele only covers 2x3 or maybe 3x4, but a 250mm Paragon or Nikkor will cover 8x10 in a pinch.

Busch Telars not only are very sharp, but have close to the same coverage as regular lenses, an unheard-of ability today. Thus, the 13-1/2" [340mm] tele will easily cover 8x10].
