Some one else mentioned that it may be video compression however the images are titled "jpeg" and are purported to be lifted off the internet. If it were video compression, how would this...

Harry-

Thanks for your time. If you could elaborate upon your response, I would appreciate it greatly. I should take my file which is currently roughly 5"x7" at 72dpi and do what?

Many thanks,...

I am interested in how Thomas Ruff obtained this effect on his photographs:

I am using a Wista copal 1 board on a master technika with a 210mm. lens. If you are familiar with this board, the lens sits slightly off center, specifically a little lower than center. Is this a...

I am a little stumped here and wanted to see if any of the veteran LF users who are VERY particular could help me out.

Though I THINK the camera doesn't matter, I am using a sinar x.

Hey there. I am looking to see if anyone knows where I can find a posing head brace. I heard there was someone named Tim Merritt that still makes them, but I can't find him on google. I am...

Is it possible to flash a c-print ever so slightly to create some differentiation in tonality between a white in the frame of the image and the white of the base of the paper? Is it possible to get...

I just purchased some used Fidelity holders and some of them had darkslides that were familiar to me while others were not. Normally, the darkslide has a glossy finish and slides in and out...

I am looking for some guidelines on how to flash the paper base before printing for best effect. I am working in a community darkroom where I will be lucky to have a an extra enlarger with a lens in...

I know this is a highly individual preference question, but I am asking the serious photographers out there who know the beauty of an ansel adams' print, a sugimoto print and the other sensitive and...

hey Paul; maybe the orange juice I was drinking last night was spiked or you were indeed as schnockered as indicated. Anyhow, I think my question still stands correct: the time I saw listed for...

Paul, great resource. Thank you and if I had a single extra red cent, I would make a voluntary donation. Maybe when this project I am working on is done, I will have that red cent. In the...

Hey. This should be another simple question that will get me several different answers, but I hope to make an educated judgment from your input. Since I have researched the forum pretty well, I...

I have been doing some self-portraiture for a while now and have come up against an issue: while the small walz and other brand timers are great, they still require that you run into position and get...

as for bellows, camera, holders, etc. I used the same things for all the times. In addition, when I ran a test, I shot with two different types of holders to rule that problem out.

I'm wondering...

Also, I am putting a smaller file in that link and try this url:

Paul-

Yes... that is a very interesting observation. Do you think that the build up on the reels is causing a problem with the chemicals? Because actually, a friend had suggested adding the lfn...

I have been processing 4x5 tri-x sheet film in my jobo 2551 on a rotary base for over a year now. Things have worked perectly. All of the sudden, I am experiencing a problem: I am getting density...

Hey there. I'm using a sinar 4x5 camera with a 210 mounted on a flat lensboard. When using a depth of field chart like: http://www.rbarkerphoto.com/DOF2.html where does one measure from? For...

laugh... well, toast may be a bit strong. I feel that the abundance of thought that went into all of these answers have given me some very strong ideas of how to proceed without having to reinvent...

Well, as usual, everyone's knowledge is extremely impressive and I can't thank you enough for the concerted effort you have put into this. While I take my work EXTREMELY seriously and I expect and...

Hello. I am shooting a close-up photo with a 4x5 sinar. I have a choice of 3 lenses, 90, 150 and 210. I need to fill the frame with an object roughly the size of an orange and I want to get as...

I have a sinar x with a standard rail on it. I recently purchased a 210mm and I will be shooting some close range( i.e. 1-2ft focus) photography. Does anyone know what size extension rail I will...

For those of you in support of the air compressor route... and who use the non-airbrush type that is oilless and electrical, can you suggest an actual brand? And these brands have a dial that can...

I am interested in purchasing an oilless air compressor to clean my 4x5 holders, camera equipment and blowing dust out of glass when I am framing. I mention all the applications because I need...

Hello again everyone.

I recently shot some tri-x pan 4x5 film at iso 200, 400, 640, and 1000. By recommendation of my printer, I will be processing the 1000 with diafine. He also recommended...

"there's nothing magic about a view camera except it's size"

Bill, I would imagine there would be a small insurrection over that comment, but from my limited experience with the medium, let me...

I read the "user terms" pretty carefully and think it is ok for me to ask this: does anyone have a linhof superscreen for the master technika with a grid on it that they would be willing to sell?

First of all, thank you to everyone for putting the time and effort into these responses.

Second of all, I've noticed that these forums about large format photography so frequently become small...

I have read several forums, several answers and still don't have a really solid sense of where to go with this question. Could someone who works in a professional capacity, who is extremely...

I just bought one of these overpriced water buckets with a rack in it (aka the type 55 clearing tank for polaroid negatives) and I noticed that the rack is rather loose in the notching system. I am...

The Rodenstock 90mm f4.5... can that take a filter on it without creating vignetting? Presumably it would have to be a slim?

I just purchased the rodenstock 90mm 4.5 lens for my master tech and I need to know which lensboard and what accessories I should order for this lens? The cable release holder? I know it is a copal...
