  1. Re: Airport Scanners - the age old question (finally somewhat settled)

    Hot places, yes, but the fogging patterns on my film were consistent with characteristic patterns found on film in documented and deliberate cases of Xray fogging. I've been in extremely hot places...
  2. Re: Airport Scanners - the age old question (finally somewhat settled)

    All of my 400 ASA B&W 120 size film was fogged after my trip to Israel, South Africa, and Egypt last summer. I've never had a problem with that same type of film being fogged when flying through...

    Re: HELIAR: here they are..

    Taken with 36cm Voigtländer Heliar on 8X10 of my son in his favourite costume. I don't remember the f stop, but probably f8 - f11. I love this lens, but it's hard to take pictures of a 5 yr old with...

    Re: notch on Fuji Acros 8X10

    Many thanks, Richard and Gem. I'll compare the pattern with the film I have - I suspect it is Acros. On the film I noticed that the notches were very shallow, much shallower than those on the Ilford...

    Re: Problems with contact printing

    Agitation problems in neg. developing or paper developing could be the problem, but here's a thought. Are you by any chance making the contacts using your enlarger as a light source? I had problems...

    notch on Fuji Acros 8X10

    A friend returned some 8X10 holders to me and loaded a selection of different films in them, writing on each side of the holder what film was loaded there. Unfortunately, as I now discover having...

    My son has reached that glorious age (2 years 10 months) when he is now interested in the photographic process, big cameras, and posing for photographs, esp. when he can wear his skeleton costume....

    Re: Jim's SECRET WEAPON Lens!

    Number 4 is my favourite - it's spectacular enough in the JPEG image, must be fantastic in 11X14.

    Re: Heliar 360mm 4.5 on Eastman 2D 8X10

    Ken, do you have any pictures to post from your lens? I have finally begun to use mine, and also notice the beautifully round out of focus highlights. I'm attaching a scan below. Banding on right...

    Re: Heliar 360mm 4.5 on Eastman 2D 8X10

    Thanks to all for your responses!

    Jim, yes, I think the gearing on the front rise slips a little when the lens is on the heavier size. It holds fine when I use my Wollensak Voltas and the 240...

    Heliar 360mm 4.5 on Eastman 2D 8X10

    I know from Jim Galli's website that this combination has been done, and so I went ahead and bought a Heliar which I happened to find in an antique mall with Packard shutter at a good price.

    Re: How about a New Portrait thread?

    My favourite is still Tri's unwilling father-in-law, which is early in this thread. The composition is just superb, every element works so well - especially the suspender, as someone mentioned - and...

    Jan,
    Yes, I use amidol when I can afford it - as my Polish friend would say, "Strashne!". I love your series of twigs and buds on your webpage.

    Dear Christopher
    Thanks for your interest in the quinces - here's a slightly warmed up version, but only courtesy of Photoshop, I'm afraid. My printed version is on Azo paper developed in Agfa...
