[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have found a used V35 (includes the 40 mm f2.8 Focotar) and am considering purchasing it but have a few questions. The guy wants $2000 but I think that I can get him down to $1500. On the other hand if you know of any dealers selling the B&W version please let me know. Seems to me that a while back that someone stated on the LUG that this model was common to find used. If this is true where else can I get one? 1 It only includes the color module. How well will this work if I am only doing B&W? 2 Is the Hove book "Leica darkroom Practice" worth buying? 3 What should be included with it other than the unit itself and a negative holder? 4 Is a full frame negative holder available? 5 Anyone out there know where I can buy a Focotimer or will any timer work with it? How about a Focometer or any other accessories? 6 Is a voltage stabilizer needed? 7 Are there any drawbacks to this unit other than it will only do 35mm? Any info on this will be greatly appreciated. BTW I am just starting to get the equipment together needed to build my first lab. Thanks Zack Schindler
