As soon as TMAX films are added, I'll buy it!

emulsion transfer with the Fuji print film is overly difficult. I recommend trying it, but you'll run into issues trying to peel off the emulsion and then getting it to dry flat on whatever you...

Thanks David, this makes a whole lot of sense...

Can anyone suggest a thin ply lightweight photo paper? I'm looking for something similar to what they used to use for stereo cards in the later 1800's



Thanks!

There's the top inlet that is connected to the two "sprayer things" then there's the two drains at the bottom. I have those two bottom drains connected together to stop water from coming out of...

Are you talking about the focusing gear track perhaps? The bed is the bottom of the camera that screws onto the tripod. That part you open up and tighten down.

Does anyone have a digitized copy of the Micromega/Peak Model 1 grain focuser? If you could email me it, I'd be very grateful!

Thanks!

Does anyone know anyone in the Boston area looking for help this summer (starting now)? I'm a college student looking to do something photographic related and working with a professional large format...

There are so many options for developers!!! I'm looking for a new paper developer that's relatively versatile for RC and fiber prints. I'm thinking the 130 formulation. But there are so many options,...

I'd be interested in testing if you're looking for betas.

How could this not help? It would effectively bring the enlarging head closer to the paper (plane of focus). The size of enlargements below 8x10 is only inhibited by the distance of the enlarger head...

Hey guys, thanks for all the response and help. I think I need to clarify:

My 50m and 80mm lenses are on FLAT lensboards and my 135mm lens is on the correct 4 inch cone board. I know there's no...

I have a couple questions about my Omega DII:

First, I can’t produce prints smaller than (approx.) 10 inches in either direction with the correct lens. By the correct lens I mean a 50mm for 35mm...

GE coded all of their bulbs so once you pull it out, do a quick search for it and you should be able to get some replacements with similar thread size, wattage, etc.

I'm in Newton/Boston.

What is it worth and what is it for?

I'm very curious as well! It'd be cool to print some positive slides onto it if the contrast were high enough... From the sounds of it though, it may be too slow a paper, optimized for pinhole only.

Right on. No way, under the given conditions, was bellows extension the problem. If possible, double check you meter readings with both incident and reflected readings. I find incident readings in...

Are the negative carriers that are made for the Chromega D Dichroic II enlarger the same carriers as the omega D2 carriers? Thanks!

18cm=180mm yes...

Perfect, well this seems to be what I have. I'll give it a shot and see if I don't get Newton rings. Thanks to all!

Thanks for te replies, I think I should have clarified more. The lower piece of glass was definitely recut: it's got sharp edges and a chip or two on the edges but any piece of clean glass should...

Oops, I'm sorry moderators: I placed this thread in the wrong section. Please feel free to move.

I got an Omega glass carrier for 4x5 negatives recently from a user in the For Sale section. I've inspected the glass to ensure that the top piece is ANR glass, but neither side of the glass shows a...

I have an older model 135mm Componon-S for enlarging but I'm missing the retaining ring. I measured 49mm for the threads but according to Schneider's in German, I managed to figure out the proper...

I have this Zone VI 35mm washer that I assume you just drop rolls of 35mm into and stick a hose in it? Anybody have any info or suggestions on use?

Yeah I've been looking at the Chamonix as a possibility.

Do the Toho Shimo FC45x cameras ever go cheaply or no? I'm guessing they are way out of my price range. Or maybe the Canham DLC?

And...

Yeah I've been looking at that, but it doesn't seem like it would be very sturdy on the top a mountain with 20mph winds. Something with a stationary rear standard and a front standard that moves on a...

What are my options in terms of a good 4x5 camera that is lightweight and compact? In Alaska, I biked 20 miles with my Horseman monorail along with 20lbs of other equipment on my back. It was a bit...

Interesting, how would one calculate the decrease of dev time after shooting 1/2 to 2/3 the rated ASA?

Yeah, you need a Fuji PA45 or the older Polaroid equivilent for the pack film. And no way it will fit in your graphic spring back. I had that same problem with my Graphic View.

I don't know if I agree with this. Do you really think TMX100 is better shot at ASA 50? As it is, I get super contrasty negatives developing at the suggested times. Anyway, if I rated my TMX100 at...

I need a good method of transporting my Horseman L45 camera plus lenses etc.

It folds up flat, so I want to take advantage of that. I think I want to get a Halliburton type case for it, and put it...

So if focal length is the distance from the image plane to the "rear nodal point" of the lens when the lens is focused on an object at an infinite distance, with every single lens, focusing on a...

Is this equation: [ log(bellows extension) - log(focal length) ]/ log(sqrt(2))

written for extension and focal length in millimeters?

Do all the older, better Tiltalls say "new York" or "new
jersey"? Any other way to distinguish old from new?

Also, if I get a Tiltall, will I need a tripod head? I'm not sure
I get the point of...

I need a cheapish tripod and head (used is fine) that will hold a 10 pound camera plus a light lens. I'm looking to spend under $200 for sure. Of course, the cheaper the better. I currently am using...

Oh, and as for developers, I use D-76 for film and Sprint Print developer
for prints.

Interesting! Thanks for all the info. Maybe I'll give warmtone and selenium toning a try. Although, is selenium toning still readily available? I feel like I've heard that's it's a dangerous material...

Hi,

I've been using Ilford Multigrade RC paper for a few years now with mostly satisfactory results. I'm ready to move onto a graded paper though because I've noticed a lack of depth in the blacks...
