Only a few times have I been told to get a digital camera. Usually the questions center around the age of the camera and why do I use it. I usually have my weimarner with me and there are more...

To drift slightly from the original question, how long will the open stock solution keep? I found a bottle today in the darkroom that had been shuffled to the back.

Here at work we've started using the Apple LCD monitors. You can see things in the high values that can't be seen on the CRT monitors. That said I don' t think all LCD monitors are created equal. ...

I use Hewes reels these days for 120 processing and find them easy to load. My method is seperate the film from the paper leaving the tape that attaches it on the film. I fold this tape over and...

Well I'm late to the show as always. Still located in Memphis, TN where I enjoy great barbque, blues and do most of my shooting in the flatlands of Eastern Arkansas.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but Jorge what is the structure in your image?

James,

I'm in Memphis, TN and have been surprised that no workshops have been hosted in the Ozarks of Missouri or Arkansas.

Lurking in the shadows often. Occasionally I even make noise.

As to the slippage on the heads, check the tracks on the column. They are made of plastic and can get stripped. I was disappointed in that part of my enlarger.

I have a small basement darkroom. I had to design mine around the layout of the basement. Two things that dictated the layout were the drain in the floor and one place where I could achieve the...

At work we are putting together a cheerleader catalog now that up until last year had been shot on film. As with most catalogs, some older images are being picked up for this version. The...

Thanks for giving some positive information on the decline of film based photography. I know the business is going to change over time, but so often it sounds like the world is coming to...

I can't speak for View Camera, however I work in the dying field of printing prepress. The old highend drum scanners by Screen, Hell and Crossfield are the standards in this work. They were...

One thing to consider when pricing this type of equipment is the cost of a service contract. I use a Creo Sprectrum proofsetter at work and like the company. I've never used one of their scanners....

I have a D3 autofocus and I made a spacer for my 50mm lens. I used 1/2 inch birch plywood for this. I glued the spacer to the lens board. The spacer does affect the autofocus aspect of the...

Your description of this sounds like a an old graphic arts product. Its designed to take litho negs and make B/W prints for either proofing ads or reproduction. In the 80s these products...

I'm not offended by announcements of workshops free or paid. Often I only hear of large format workshops on this web site.

I too prefer the North rim, but places to stay are harder to find unless you are camping. I believe access is limited about this time as well??

I enjoyed working around Sedona, but don't remember...

THANKS TO ALL RESPONSIBLE!!

I've missed the old forum every since it went away. The one on Photo.Net never felt like home.

All of my holders are numbered and that number goes on the exposure record that I keep for every sheet. Like the others I have boxes with N, N+1, and N-1. I stack the holders in sequence with the...

Scott I built my wooden sinks out of 3/4 inch particle board for the bottom and 1x6 for the sides. To build them today I would us MDF for all the wood parts. I used fiberglass tape to go around...

<<It is a mistake to call the limiting of editions "hype" as it is a standard in the printmaking world. Of course, you do not have to print them all at once.>>

Its my opinion that numbering...

If UPS and FEDEX start iradiating all packages then this will eliminate ordering film from B&H and other volumn discount sellers.

Kevin: You might want to contact the folks at the Pinhole Resource, http://www.pinholeresource.com/ They have micro-drilled pinholes that come with a focal lenght chart.

I just checked B&H's web site and they no longer list Tmazx readyloads. I don't use it often, but I will miss it anyway. I bought several boxes when I heard that it was being discontiuned and ...

Sal, I've noticed that all single weight papers are thinner that in years past. Long ago I printed enlarged 16x20s on single weight because it was cheaper, but I don't think one could do it with...

It sounds to me that your client is wanting some lores scans to use as FPOs in his layout. If that is the case, then most any scanner will work. One thing to consider and present to the client is...

My day job has been in the graphic industry most of my adult life. The attitude seen in this issuse is typical of the Kodak corp. I've experienced it from film to digital imaging divisions. I...

In responce to Larry's question, my film of choice is Trix and I would love to se it in a readyload. I do use Tmax readyloads when traveling more than a couple of days. It allows me to not have...

I use a Zone VI. While its OK for field work, I wouldn't recomend it for tabletop. Coming from using an Omega D monorail, it took time for me to become accustomed to the sloppy movements of this...

I use a couple of Zone VI upright washers. They work for the realatively low volumn of prints I do. I used a rotary washer in a darkroom long ago and it worked fine. The only down side was the ...

You might want to try Kodak's poly toner. Its a potassium sulfate toner. It gives a reddish brown cast. The down side is that it can make the house smell like rotten eggs.

I recently found this form and the format as it is now. People generally are informative and polite. This is often not the case in some other forms.

Bill is right. It is the same camera that was at the Boston museum. It was sold to an artist and he has moved it to New York. Bill Wegman plans to rent it.
