It was sitting on the shelf at the camera shop down the street begging to be put back into service.

Thanks for he Camera Eccentric tip-off. I go there so often for info on Graflex products that I...

OOPs, double posting. That was an accident. Moderators, please delete one.

I recently picked up a Schneider Symmar Triple Convertible lens with the normal focal length being 210 mm and the converted lengths being 325 mm and 405 mm. The lens is made up of a front and rear...

Your equipments' manufacturers are still in existence?

Spotmatic



(I am having difficulty posting actual images, so I have, for now, posted a link, too.)

Haha! I had the same thing happen. My wife asked me to PLEASE just bring a point-and-shoot to an event and I brought my Pentax Spotmatic.

I think the right-side-up and forwards world is the illusion. All this time I thought mountains were triangles with pointy ends up, but now I know the real truth.


I never thought prior to...

Ektar 127mm/4.7

I know I am coming late to the party here.

I have a 410 head which I use for 4x5. The shop that sold it to me told me that if I were to get much into 8x10 I'd eventually want a bulkier head. Since...

I just saw our own Q T Luong and thought I would log in here to make sure I had the same guy.

Thanks for representing LF on a national stage!!!

I am still relatively new to LF, so I just have about 10 sheets left of a box of 4x5 FP4+. I am sure that some day I will look back on this time in my life and wonder how I ever managed to live with...

These ought to be fun.

I have an Ilex process lens that I am fitting into a lens board to try on my Speed Graphic. These independent shutters really open up some options.

Nice work!

How did you achieve a light seal between the two sliding boxes, if you don't mind revealing your secrets?

Strictly speaking, you wouldn't be able to see a 2-D object because it would have no depth. A print has a very small depth, but it's there.

As to the question, I have seen crummy prints from both...

I am secure enough in my own selection of gear and technology that I don't spend much time thinking about this. I have seen some amazing photos done on film and pixels. I prefer film.

Did...

The last time I went to St. Helens I hadn't even considered LF. Now I can hardly wait to go back with a pack of loaded up film holders.

That situation would be tricky. I don't leave feedback until I receive the item and can be sure that it was "as described" and the whole bit. I think I now know why this makes some sellers antsy...

Does that mean we get to send your Texas weather back down there?

:) :)

This looks very do-able.

Yachats is roughly "Yah-HOTS." Hit the capitalized H hard enough that it is two definite syllables and not a slurred "Yaowts" or something like that.

The Dalles is The...

Honestly, the most dangerous thing for most shoots is driving on public highways to and from the shoot. Look at the numbers of traffic fatalities vs. victims of gun violence, cougars, bears, meth...

I've got the axe handle in the car. If it ever gets so bad that I feel like I have to carry a handgun I will just emigrate.

If you're going to Multnomah Falls, you may as well take the Columbia Gorge Scenic Highway and catch a couple more sights. I recommend Sheppard's Dell as one stop. Just about anywhere you stop will...

I don't go for paranoia much. At 6'3" and north of 250 lbs I don't get much trouble from strangers.

Usually, if anything, I get approached by people with questions.

By pushing off the San Juan/Victoria chunk, as it appears you are doing, this opens up a lot more time for the Oregon coast. You should be able to have some lazy driving days then where you can...

The nights 7 and 8 part might be a little optimistic, particularly since you are spending the previous night in Cannon Beach. Keep in mind that you will be spending a lot of time aboard ferries, and...

I have no problem navigating to the Classified section from the main forum. It's right there.

Further, any new posts in the FS/Classifieds come up when I click "New Posts." If that isn't...

Vitaj!

Mikhail, I hope you find a lot of good information here. The search engine sometimes will return a lot of odd entries, but I have found that doing a google search on specific phrases...

The definition of an orphan work, as I found on the site posted above by the OP, is "an "orphan work" is a work (such as an image) that is protected by copyright but whose copyright owner cannot be...

Why do you make this very helpful post almost all the way through and then throw on a gratuitous comment on the end?

The thing about a compressor is that it can also kick a lot of dust up into the air which can come swinging back with the turbulence and get on your film holder.

The other thing I've noticed is...

I used a clean, moisture-trap filtered stream of air from a compressor. It was definitely overkill, but it was what was at hand.

Hi, Gary!

I have no idea where in the world you are writing from, but there is at least one lab in my medium-sized city that will process 4x5 negatives. There are probably others, too, but this is the one...

As a part-owner of a retail business, I buy it.

The credit card companies are really putting the hammer down on vendors because there have been a few bad folks out there.

If we can physically...

Thanks to all for your advice.

My wife is convinced I need a changing bag. She looks like she is going to buy one for me as a surprise. I think she wants to use it, too.

As it is, I went...

Thanks for your response.

The four-pager I downloaded indicates that it is open to professional photographers and students of photography. It doesn't go beyond that.

Wellll... I am not sure...

What do they mean by professional photographers? For that matter, what are student photographers? What sort of documentation is needed.

I downloaded the form but cannot see that there is any...

This sounds like my last chance. I turn 35 next March.

All,

Thanks for your advice on this. I feel WAY more confident now.

I went to accomplish this task and performed the test that I was going to perform, the one outlined by John Powers above,...

I am wondering if whatever clown grabbed your image looked up "Brian Vuillemenot" in the phone book and called and had a brief discussion with some very confused guy in Quebec.

It may also be that...
