Having an MFA in painting and having observed the art industry, I can understand their motivation.
The theory of art has eclipsed art. Or perhaps art history has eclipsed art. We've raced along...
Thanks everyone for your input. This has been very educational. Thanks venchka for checking that! I have what appears to be 185mm. Close! With an extended lens board it'll work for sure.
Thank you everyone. (I've been occupied with some prep work this evening.) Wayne, if you have a chance, please test it out.
The extended lens board is an excellent option. I won't have to...
I have a question for anyone with a 180mm lens. I'm considering a 180mm for my Ebony SW45. It's a wide angle camera but is supposed to take up to a 180mm. My question is this: With a 180mm how...
Your question seems to be identical to the question I've tried to have answered. That question is, "what is the pixel per inch equivalent of film grain/resolution?". Somewhere I read that with...
Where do you live? Perhaps someone on this forum would spend an afternoon having you tag along while they demonstrate a few points. That would clear up a number of questions you have. It's useful...
Fine, I'll upgrade. There seem to be a few but key features in CS4. Won't be in a rush though. It's still expensive to print 16 bit files on the chromira.
RAM trumps just about everything else...
If it were free, she'd be my best friend!
Thanks, that's in the ball park of my estimate. Now to negotiate. Yes, she's my friend, but she's thinking $$$.
I'm researching this enlarger to find a reasonable price to pay for it. I friend of mine received one as a gift and never used it, so she's selling it. I want to give her a good price, but she owes...
How about pulling out the wrong dark slide?
Shooting without removing the darkslide?
or are those too common to mentioin?
oh yes, trying to do an incidental meter reading with the meter set to...
I'm in awe of your move. Wow! And you're not apologizing! Thanks for making a statement!
...or if you screw in a filter or do what I did with my ultra-wides and attach a Lee adaptor...tah dah! Vingnetting! and you don't see it until you develop.
DLSRs do what a lot of the public thinks that LF can do. It just doesn 't do it as well. For a lot of applications, DLSRs are sufficient. If it's convenient for me, I will through in a few LF shot...
Thanks or the link. I have been looking at some landscape work done with Portra NC and am impressed enough to try it. I have shot Velvia for several years and love it, but ultimately, I have to...
Adobe probably wants to regulate the pricing of their product, so they might have agreements with their retailers to sell at a certain price. I don't understand how Adobe would allow ligitamate...
Thanks for the input. To gain a millimeter on each side probably wouldn't be worth the trouble or risk, and I really don't want to compromise film flatness.
I like this holder because of the flat plate that presses the film. It's also a lot lighter than a Polaroid back.
I wish the aperture or image area were larger. I'm thinking of cutting away a bit...
I have a Rodenstock Apo- Sironar-N in excellent condition. Please contact me if you're interested.

Viva Velvia. I prefer it over the Kodaks, which I still use in 4x5. But it's a pure love affair with the old 50. In a panic upon hearing it was to be discontinued I horded every roll of 120 I...
Definately use a water stop bath.
Some people say that the emulsion is slightly uneven, which can lead to uneven skies, so they (and I) aren't fond of using it on a clear day.
When I don't get my expsures right on slide film I feel like a miserable failure. When it's on, things are grand. The bracketing thing is sensitive, and even 1/3 of a stop can be a lot. For my...
While I can get good digital prints, technically, they still don't compare with the material quality of a FB print.
I used a tanks for 4x5s for a while and had that very problem. There is increased turbulence in the developer as it hits the side of the tank. I believe that tanks are the worst method for...
