    Re: What's your Favorite LF Accessory?

    Nylon "cop belt" to which I have attached a meter holster and pouches for optical viewfinder, notebook, cell phone and filters. A lot less packing and re packing the camera case as I work.
  3. Re: "good enough" what does it mean to you ?

    I have this Stieglitz quote pinned up in my darkroom:
    "Nearly right is child's play."
    I can't count the times that quote has resulted in me going to bed to take a fresh look the next day.

    If you shoot black and white, you'll be surprised how many "intrusions" can be covered up with your dark cloth when you are ready to expose. Bits of white PVC pipe, bright boulders, etc can...

  19. Re: Anti-static Bags (aka "pink ziplocks")

    Perhaps I'm superstitious, but I have no dust on my negatives. This started after I began using the bags. I use 1 bag per holder, and they last forever.
  20. Re: Anti-static Bags (aka "pink ziplocks")

    No problem. Glad you found them. I usually buy in smaller quantities and shoot 5x7 and 8x10 so I don't have your odd size issue. The construction is quite good, and they are durable. Mine have...
  21. Re: Anti-static Bags (aka "pink ziplocks")

    I just checked my wife's zip lock brand bags in the kitchen, and the seal mechanism is identical. I have seen bags with a white slider that seals the bag, and these don't have that.
  22. Re: Anti-static Bags (aka "pink ziplocks")

    They are just like plastic bags that seal by sliding your fingers across grooved male/female pieces at the open end. there is a picture if you click on the "Pink anti static bags" entry at the...
  23. Re: Anti-static Bags (aka "pink ziplocks")

    Yeah- I use the "seal top" variety and they are much cheaper. 6x8 is 11.20 for 50 and 9x12 is 13.90 for 50. They stay shut fine but don't have a sliding "zipper". They are the 4 mil pink, not...
  24. Re: Anti-static Bags (aka "pink ziplocks")

    You might try staticbags.com. Good prices and you can order small numbers or large with a volume discount. On the left side of their home page, just look at the bottom for "pink anti static bags".

    Re: Why not 8x10?

    I really enjoy shooting 8x10 in the field. Having said that, you might want to consider a 5x7 camera with a 4x5 back. For me, the jump up in image size from 4x5 to 5x7 on the ground glass is...
