Do some strength training - weights, bands, etc.
In my 50s, trekked one all across Florida swamps and prairies. I used a modified baby stroller as a cart. Brett Weston carried one all around the desert. Its a great camera. It requires a...
It is interesting.
Does anyone know what that loupe is she uses to focus?
I bough a case of TMX expired in 1996. I'm using the last box now with no problems.
There are adapters for fitting digital cameras to 4x5 cameras.
I have both. I worry about the stubby one jostling the camera, too, though I'm careful and haven't seen evidence of a problem. The Silvestri works well except the tip does not rotate independently...
That's why I began using an incident meter.
Welcome, post often.
I've used PB Blaster with good results. First, though, I'd try pressing the element you want to remove into the side of an automobile tire and turning. Sometimes that works.
Glad to see you posting these, Doug. Brings back a lit of memories. You've got a really good eye for the format.
I'd suggest that you look at Sinars for sale on keh.com and usedphotopro.com. Those are top of the line cameras that sell for only a few hundred dollars now. Those two companies have accurate...
The company in the US that has been manufacturing Kodak Chemicals for Sino Promise has now secured a license from Kodak to make and sell chemicals. John Sexton writes about it - scroll down -...
Wonderful.
Where did you find goals with the nets still on them?
Wouldn't that be Big Blue Dektol?
I really love his work. I don't generally shoot color, but I went out one day with my digital to try to emulate his style. I found the layers, I found the reflections, but I couldn't find the...
I don't have any of those apps but still get the nag occasionally on various forums. It happens on both my kindle fire and my iPad.
I'm still shooting from a case of TMX that expired in 1995.
I have a tub and use a shower head splitter from home depot. It was a simple install and the hose is removable.
Welcome, post often.
There's a lot of information on the site's front page.
Welcome, post often.
I think a lot of developers will work just fine depending on what you want and what you prefer. Sorry if that's vague, but that's my take from the thread. Personally, I use Pyrocat in a tank with...
In 4x5 I probably like my Graphic View second only to my Sinar Norma. But look at what they sell for. You may decide it’s not worth the effort and decide to get the Rollei and keep the Graphic,...
I have a freezer full to the brim of 8x10, 4x5, 120, and a bit of 35. I think I'm set for a little while. Plus a few thousand sheets of old photo paper given to me. I'm hoping it will be good for...
I moved to mixing my own chemicals and making my own paper when Kodak killed Azo and the last local photo store closed. Now there are few things to worry about changing except for paper stock.
There's a thread on photrio about this. It seems that Sino Promise, which had been making the Kodak chemistry for the last several years(or having it made) has ceased production.
Good one. You might want to try the phase one software = Capture One. I believe you can try it free for 30=days. IMHO, it gives those wonderful phase one colors a little better. You seem to see...
Hey Darr,
I've been to Carrabelle, too. First in the early 70s. And last in the mid-90s. I'll look some more, but I don't think any of my photos survived. I was shooting a 2 1/4 TLR in the 70s.
I...
I tend to photograph what I think of as relationships rather than things, so I prefer the original, too. When I was in camera clubs they drove me crazy with all the talk of subject and center of...
What is the correct term for those sliding doohickies that attach a lens board to the camera? Funny that I've never heard them called anything. And where can I buy some?
Thanks.
After applying the liquid, tap the parts lightly with a brass hammer, wooden mallet, or something similar. The induced vibrations help the liquid to penetrate. And give it plenty of time to work. ...
I don't use Flicker. I don't say the hardening effect disappears. The film becomes really prone to scratching when wet - thus it can scratch in the developer and stop long before it gets to the...
I was scanning single sheets of 4x5 so there was no intrusion into the calibration area. The internet post I found said that light bends around the film edge and is picked up by the scanner causing...
I think X-Ray film is just prone to scratches when wet. I doubt hardener in fixer does much good as the film has already been wet in the developer and stop for several minutes. I think being...
I use Vuescan and saw the problem, so I don't think its Epson scan that's the problem. Is there software in the scanner itself?
I see they are good for paper, but I don't see a reference to X-Ray film. Have you tested with film and found them safe?
I had the problem with my 750, too. I found a comment online blaming the scanner software. I solved it by using the wet scanning holder, putting a piece of anti-glare picture frame glass on top,...
For some of my LF lenses I've found that PVC pipe caps with a little felt glued inside make good caps.
My thoughts on this are that we develop negatives to fit the contrast range of our papers. Likewise, we have to develop our negatives to fit the contrast range of our scanners. Maybe someone else...
