305 G Claron is another option that might be better if you are considering 8x10.

Does not help you now, but the Photobackpacker film holder bags are the way to go.

Don't you miss Readiloads for travel?

Try Ilford Warmtone developer. You could try Dektol 1:3 which I like with Ilford Warmtone paper.

I think it depends most on your budget. Jobo is the best and easiest but by far the most expensive. Trays are the trickiest and the cheapest and us the most chemicals.

Sounds like you are...

Just make sure you realize how big these lenses are. I picked up a 360/5.6 and was blown away. It's a boat anchor. Make sure you have a strong front standard and a filter system big enough.

I had a Beseler 3 lens turret. I got rid of it. It was impossible to align, and even if it were possible, I would have had to align it every time I changed the lens. That is no advantage over...

Face up. But I gave up screens altogether. I had some screen marks even drying face up. Now I hang them from a line, usually with two prints back to back, and no problems and reasonably flat prints.

Thanks Vinny. For me, I like the rear tilt but could not give up the asymmetrical rear swing. As far as I know, only one of the very expensive Ebony 8x10's has it as well. Plus it is durable. I put a...

What do you like about the Chamonix better than the Wehman?

The challenge is getting the weight centered over the axle so you don't wear your arms out. You might have better luck with a jogging stroller.

When I work out of my pack, I do it one of two ways:

The pack is resting in my jogging stroller
The pack is placed on a space blanket that I spread on the ground to keep the pack clean and dry

Maybe you could take a photo of photography books and analog photo equipment in a dumpster, one straight and one cyanotype! Blue and bluer.

That is one of its best features! Apart from Ritter, I am not sure if any other 8x10 has it.

I have a Wehman although it is not for sale. It is an excellent camera. Used they sell for $1500+ from what I have seen but they are rarely available. If I were you, I would buy a Ritter. It is...

freestyle in hollywood. might be easier, cheaper, quicker to have them ship, rather than driving even when so close.

I believe that lens board was made by Delta and called the Bes-Align. It used three screws in a triangle configuration to level the lens board, just like you adjust tripod legs to level the tripod...

you can use a cheap plastic dish pan for the water bath. Fill it full enough so you don't have to insert your hands too far but not so full that the tubes can roll out.

To avoid scratching the...

Nice.

Although I am guilty at times, I agree with the moderators. Even if I didn't agree, it would not matter as the forum is a private venture and those in charge make the rules. Because of the rules...

I've thought about making something like that, but doesn't the hose cause more problems than it solves? For example, you have to remove the hose after pouring in the chems. Then you have to rinse it...

Assuming everything works:

The Jobo CPP with lift is easily worth $500.
I thought I spied a JOBO Expert drum - the big one that is all black. Those usually fetch ~$500 each depending on the...

I assume you are not using a CPP/CPA processor and are using a motorized roller base. That is what I do as well. I just remove the drum from the roller, dump out the pre-wash, then add the developer...

I have the 45, 90 and 150. They are very good. You pay a premium for the top of the line in anything.

These are popular lights for fly tying also. That is a great deal in that the lamp costs less than the bulb.

The Toyo field is a nice camera, a real tank and rock solid. But it weighs about 13 pounds and the bellows is relatively short making 1:1 or macro shots potentially difficult.

Check out the...

You might tell him to get a job... That will really get him going.

Just curious - how did he find the picture of himself on your website? Does Mother Jones have a link?

No problems with PF. I have used them for years.

Regarding the silver nitrate: No point grousing about prices. If you have options you like, use them and promote them. That is the beauty of...

Just a thought, but a small tarp might help with some of it. 1.1 oz silnylon is waterproof and very light. You could sew a layer on the outside of your dark cloth for example. Or maybe you want a...

I would crop the lowest 3 flowers and crop the right side of the print to eliminate the blown lawn and sky areas. That gives some balance among flowers, door, tree. Then try flashing the foreground....

You must be divorced.

Just kidding, but I have lost any arguments asserting just that. Thanks for the information.

Thanks for all the info. Nice photo Paul. I like the tonality.

I meant that you could process paper or film in any vessel. Trays are usually the most ergonomic. Huge prints can be rolled up and processed in wallpaper troughs for example. Plastic darkroom trays...

Solvang! That is the name of the town in California that I have not been able to remember for the past 2 months.

Anyway, the answer is probably: it depends. When I am on a large jet and board...

Sal,

The documention seems a bit vague. Do you plug this into a regular timer? Does it require manual filtration above/below the lens? How do you like using it? You are the first person I have...

Hmm. That $900 for 100 sheets of TMY in my B&H cart...

Just asking: if HP5 is made for Xtol, why use Pyro? Which pyro?

I more often need contraction of 2+ stops rather than expansion of 2...

Every year or so, I flirt with the idea of giving up on TMY. I use 8x10 film so I like the reciprocity characteristics and I have used it exclusively for large format for years. But it costs...

I found a good process for getting what I want. Tones are slightly red chocolate but it is a nice, dark brown-black.

I am using Dektol 1:3 for 2:00 and KRST 1:12 at 3:00 at 68-70 degrees.

I...

Have you tried aligning lenses mounted in the turret? I had not success and got rid of mine in favor of individual boards. More of a hassle to change lenses, but I can align them.

You should size your test strips to fit the drum, e.g 2x10, 4x10, 8x10
