Thanks for the compliments!

I just finished a complete restoration.modification on an Ansco 8x10. All the wood parts were re-created in black walnut and bubinga. The metal parts were cleaned up and some re-plated with nickel....

From the explanation this is the image that comes to my mind. Imagine yourself standing at the deep end of a swimming pool. The pool is empty except for a foot of water way down below your feet....

I connected a common wire from both controllers to the wiper of the potentiometer. The other two terminals were connected individually to each controller. The idea is one color will be ramping up as...

Thanks Peter!

This is what I ordered from LED supply.

146941I just finished upgrading my white light LED 8x10" enlarger light source to variable contrast LED. I had 12 LEDs in the white light source and wanted to keep the same level of illumination....

I love my Model 3, a real paper saver. Excellent prints very quickly. Too bad it's no longer available.

As I was reading post #124 asking for examples I thought of Ken's closeups. His typewriter images came to mind. I was surprised to see this as post #125. Thank you Ken!

Good advice. Thanks all.

Thank you D.S.!

I'll be doing some international travel this spring. What is the best way to transport 4x5 Ilford HP5? Checked baggage? Carry on? UPS to first destination? Is there a different concern after post...

The replacements I've seen don't have the white bracket with the mounting holes, just the tubular level. On my first replacement the old level easily snapped off the white bracket. A little super...

The rear standard on the P is heavier and has greater range of rise and fall. A simple way to identify is to look at the horizontal, flat black knob that controls the left/right shift. This knob on...

There is a Sinar front surface mirror for sale on the bay, just listed. No, it's not mine!

316 or 316L is the kitchen grade stainless. As an aside, Higher grade numbers for stainless steel don't indicate higher quality.

I don't really need one but I signed up anyway.

You are obviously a skilled photographer regardless of the film size! Be careful, this size thing is addictive!

Excellent!!

Send an email to Bob at Precision. It may take a while to hear back. I got a rack from him for about $30 total.

I have a wooden 8x10. I don't see and "cross pins" to secure the studs. Mine has a stud on each side. The locking mechanism is a free knurled nut that clamps against the front standard. At the end of...

I got my rack from Bob Watkins at Precision! Fast service and good price.

Is it a wooden camera?

I use a P2 8x10 for landscape as long as the path is smooth enough for my Sherpa cart.

I sold a Sinar 8x10 to a buyer on ebay with a Delaware shipping address. The buyers name appeared to be "Asian" but I was comfortable with the Delaware address. I shipped via USPS and verified...

I've bought 6 bellows from Rudy and every one has been perfect. One was a custom sized, extra long for a Wista 45SP.

Send the defect back to Rudy. I'll bet he replaces it when he sees it.

I didn't know 'Flo' had tatoos. If you don't see U.S. tv ads you won't understand this reference!

I've done something similar especially with 8x10. The light trap can be fine. Inserting the dark slide a little off angle can pry open the light trap.

Small nickel plating kits are available from sellers such as Caswell. I have one, it works very well on small parts and is easy to use.

I believe you are in luck. Looking at the literature I see no difference between the frames of the F and P series. There is a difference between the 8x10 bellows for metering back and non-metering...

Dyslexia raers its ugly haed:)

Something like this could be cobbled together to extend the focus mechanism.

KBH Photo in Canada also sells...

These illustrate success in both color and b&w because they capture both composition and light.

A photo with brilliant color can be initially compelling without artful composition or light, a B&W...

Reminds me of Andrew Wyeth's Helga.

Thanks Steve, I'll give the nickel plate at home a try. I have the kit and the brass. Just haven't done a piece this large.

I'm trying to rebuild an 8x10 that was in a flood. It wasn't marked but I believe it is an Ansco, looks very similar to an Ansco 4x5 I've rebuilt in the past. Most of the metal hardware I have is...

Welcome to our crazy passion!

Not sure it's your MAC. I can't connect on my PC.

Rudy will make a bellows to your specs. I've gone to an unrelated bellows listing of his and used "contact the seller" to ask him how to proceed with a special request. He will either lead you to an...

There is a chemical supply house on the Bay that sells small quantities of "reagents". Lab quality stuff. I bought an ounce of 28% ammonia recently.
