Hi there, I’m a photographer based in the Philippines. Recently I lost my focus knob for the MS Optics 21mm lens. Would you be able to point me in the right direction for a replacement? I’ve been searching online and have been having trouble as it seems to be such an eclectic item. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance!
Hi, Dirk! I enjoyed your ‘Royal Road Is The Way of Bronica’ on vmeo very much. I’m from China and very enthusiastic about Bronica (especially S2A) as you do. I want to post your excellent video on China’s video platform Tencent Video. Shall I have your permission? I can’t find any other way to contact you. Sorry about that.
Hi Jin, thanks for watching the video. Yes please feel free to redistribute it in China! Thank you!
Hi, my name is Mario Rossetti. I am in possession of a post card from the 1930’s that were sent from Tokio (Tokyo), Japan to the USA. The sender is T.Takiura.
The address of the sender is: 9 Bakurocho Nichome, Nihonbashi-ku, Tokio, Japan. This is as near as I can make out from the card. The post card was sent to York, PA.
If this is a family member, I am happy to reunite you with this card. If it has no relevance to you please excuse the use of your time. Either way, have a wonderful and successful week.
Hi there, I thought I would say hello. I’m from Canada. I love shooting photos on film. I also shoot digital too.
One day, I’ll visit Japan, on my travels.
I just updated my website. I would like to get into Japanese galleries if possible, to help my work get out there.
All the best,
Dave
