I've shot Civil War Reenactments in 35mm and 8x10. 35mm first so I could get an idea of where the best location was for the calvary, plus shots taken at 5 frames/second to capture some of the...

I think another option is to use an enlarging lens, turned around of course. Some lenses (Schneider Componon-s 100mm possibly) fit on a Copal shutter. Other lenses may not, but if you can attach...
Somehow I don't think it's a problem for most types of film, and not just because I shoot a lot of el-cheapo outdated film. I wouldn't think twice about shooting a lot of color film and getting it ...
On another thread I posed the question of how to load stainless steel reels such that the film went on correctly and no pictures were lost. There were many grea t and helpful suggestions.
Of...
A friend gave me a Kodak 100VS roll of 35mm film which I put in the G1 last summ er and took pictures with. I misplaced the film and just got it developed, about 9months later.
I don't have a...
Here are the lenses I'm looking to put center filters on:
58mmXL 72mmXL 110mmXL 150mmXL
If anyone has used Heliopan filters instead of Schneider, I'm curious as to why. Also, do I need a spacer...
This sort of thread comes up periodically. I remember the first time I read a post from someone with rave reviews about a Minox picture that was sharper than LF, complete with all the math number ...
Years ago I used to shoot a lot at the beach with a Canon FtQl 35mm camera and a Yashica 6x6. Spray in the air notwithstanding, I never got any rust on either camera and didn't do anything special...
I plan on experimenting with a cardboard tube, cut to size and spray painted black. Either I will hold it with one hand or try to figure out some way to attach it so I can use it for more than one...
I think there are some listed on Ebay. At least I saw them there yesterday when I was looking for a condensor for my Durst 184.
Try fitting an enlarging lens, reversed, on your viewcamera. I have done this with Rodagon-G lenses. Works great!
With a lens mounted on a lensboard, simply turning it around and attaching it is all that needs to be done to reverse it. Then, you unhook the bellows just behind the lensboard, set your f/stop,...
Film is far from dead. In Digital (Photo?) magazine, latest issue, they said that film sales were higher in 2001 than in 2000. Trying to ride on the coat tails of film, the writer theorized that...
I discovered that I can buy an 8" sautee pan from WalMart for $3.88 that I can fashion into a Durst Vapla lens board simply by unscrewing the handle and drilling the right size hole in the center....
If you have the tools (saw, drill, etc.) making your own vacuum easel shouldn't be too difficult. In fact, I'm planning on making my own for murals. Will have it mounted on the wall with...
Guillaume,
You might ask the folks at http://www.granview.com
Can't speak about the 150 or 210, but I do have the 240 Repromaster. Sharp sharp sharp. I suspect the 150 and the 210 are also very sharp.
Just noticed this other thread on the Repromaster that you might find interesting. It's a very sharp lens. If Schneider and Rodenstock all get Olympic scores of '10.0' then the Repromaster is about...
Howard,
My ceiling is 9 feet and is still not high enough to do vertical projection using a Durst 184 onto the baseboard using a Schneider Componon-s 360mm lens. A 300mm lens is just barely ...

They have EVERYTHING.
The reaction to what he did makes me wince.
Fatali's work is absolutely georgeous and non of my own work even compares.
My guess is that the stain was in fact rather trivial and probably ...
Years ago I worked at a pro lab. Now I'm just an occassional customer. As a customer, I've have varying luck with pro labs. I think it depends on who's working there and what the working ...
I bought some outdated Polaroid film and mistakenly put it in the refigerator in the unheated garage. Big mistake. When winter arrived and the garage temperature went below the recommended film...
If you want to consider MF underwater, the 903SWC Hasselblad with an underwater housing (approx $5,000 new) would be a nice setup. Also, there are underwater housings for Pentax 67. I know, I know,...
Have you seen 8x10 polaroids up close and personnal before? Suggest you try to do that before buying into this equipment. All the polaroids I have seen are pretty crappy compared to anything made ...
Schneider makes 3 macro lenses, an 80mm, a 120mm and the 180mm. See http://www.schneideroptics.com/photography/large_format_lenses/macro- symmar/ for more info. I have the 180mm but haven't done...
Oh yah, almost forgot:
14) Getting my exposed film holders mixed up with my unexposed film holders. Has a tendency to put a lot of question marks and explanation marks in the air all around my...
I haven't had any embarassing moments. I have had a bakers dozen of what might be termed 'learning experiences'! <Yah, right!>
1) Using my new Jobo CPP-2, developed 5 8x10 B&W negs in Ilford...
Woops, didn't tunnel down deep enough on the link. Here's the section on Large F ormat photographers:
http://wwar.com/categories/Online_Exhibitions/Medium/Photography/Format/Large_Fo rmat/
I did an online search for 'CONTEMPORARY CREATIVE large format photography' and got mostly hits concerning college courses. If you're looking for ideas, then th is link will probably provide plenty...
Lately, I've been using Zonal-Pro Gamma for 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 B&W, and have been quite pleased. Films: TMax 100 and 400, and Arista 400 (same as Ilford HP5+). D ilutions ranged from 1:1, to 1:7 to...
$450 ? That's a steal of a deal. I bought one a couple of years ago that ran me close to $1,000. Then, I bought an enlarger and got another one tossed in with t he deal for no extra charge.

Ooooooo! I like it! I'm drooling!
That gets me thinking....
Maybe I'll take a Pringles plastic cap, paint it black and line it with some nice velvet (blue, purple, red or green)
Comparing Rodagon 240mm to Repromaster 240mm to Schneider Componon-S 300mm to Nikkor 305mm (process lens) to Schneider Componon-S 360mm I doubt most people could differentiate which print was made...
I went and visited the Weston exhibit today, Tuesday (free admission day). It's too bad Weston didn't have access to an enlarger, as squinting at 8x10 contact prints to see all the detail gets old...
"Whoaaa, Wilbur!" - Mr. Ed.
In my opinion:
If your pockets are impressively deep ($25k) get a ZeBe. They have a web site.
If your formerly deep pockets are a bit more shallow after exhuberant Holiday shopping: Durst...
Over here in the US, I rarely see 5x7 slide film available but would like to pur chase some at a reasonable price. Supposedly, Fuji Velvia is sold only in Europe . Does anyone on the list buy this...
My web link for Badger Graphics in Kaukuna, Wisconsin, is gone. Does anyone know their new web address or email for Jeff?
I used my Schneider 110 XL on 8x10, stopped down to f/45 and it covers it comple tely. However, for 8x10, you will definitely be better off with a center filter, unless you like darker corners. I...
