While walking on Ios, a Greek island, I put down my tripod so I could use my viewing card to eyeball a large church. I decided not to take the picture and strolled off leaving the tripod. I ...
Am I the only O.F. here? I'm 71 but only a "mini" LF photographer with a Horseman 980. The pack with tripod weighs in at over #25 which gets very old after a few miles. I'm sure my 28 marathons ...
I was just in Greece with my 6x7 Horseman in a back back with film, holders lenses etc. It was opened at every ck point.The tripod went through with the chkd luggage. The only hassle was leaving...
I took a course from West Coast Imaging 2 mo ago but since I didn't have much of a clue re: PS 6 it was sort of a waste of money, BUT it did illustrate the magnitude of changes that can be wrought...
I remember throwing the hand out sheet on presbyopia on the seat of the car with a humph. not me! Now I have 7 pair of 2.75 Diopter s Costco glasses scattered throughout the house. I need 3 more...
I just got a new 1280 and only noticed banding when I printed @ low res. 1440 on Glossy epson paper printed just fine. Maybe it needs factory servic even though it's new?? George
I agree with Peter.If you do buy a Horseman back, try to get the newer black ones instead of the silver. 1) they are lighter and more importantly, 2) key parts are no longer available for repair...
I bought an old Kodak dens.-primative by today's standards- but within .01 of high priced digital models. Ebay-$60. George
I thought 4x5 for a while and settled on a Horseman 980 (should have the next version up=VHR) I have all the movements/lens interchangeability as well as different backs for color/N B&W/+ or -...
I was in Chamonix a while back and took the lift $$$ up to Aquille du Medi (not correct spelling) lots of good stuff. But be sure you go early as the clouds come in and obscure things. Its a...
The V 54 bulb that Arista now uses does not give a filter grade # that coorelates with "accepted" graded papers. The set up should be tested with a step wedge to see what "correct" grade # comes...
The Getty probably knows all about those rowdy LFers. What they could do is make them walk up to the museum with 40 lbs on their backs. That would calm down the exuberance. George
So many answers so many books. If you've got a spot meter and a simplified densitomemter set up, you have all the tools. What you need to do is to get a stepwedge and expose a film so you get at ...
And I thought the Iattola (Sp?) was dead He didn't seem to have much of a sense of humor either. George
It must have something to do with the coriolis affect. George
Back out the allen screw and file a flat on the rod. reattached and all will be well. A detent would do the same thing but it might be difficult to drill (I'm a Dentist so I know drill). George
I don't know how much I can add to this thread,but here goes. Yesterday I took a 1 day course given by West Coast Imaging on scanning and manipulating the image in Photoshop. I was astounded by ...
Sexton uses TMax 100 single load in TMax RS; Bond uses TMax 400- larger film/reciprocity in D-76. Both use Jobo. I use TMax 100 roll in TMax dev 1:5 7 min @70F in a tank; 30 sec initial + 5 "rolls" ...
I have played with Arista Lith film for unsharp and/or contrast reducing masking. I've used Dektal @ 1:2 2min;1:10 2 min;1:20 2 min. interesting but useful curves. 1:10 and 1:20 give a nice smooth...
The first reply was correct as far as it went but if they're Horseman holders, there's an observation hole hole where, as you advance the film you will see an arrow. Stop there and close up the...
Fluorescent guys as in fluoridation for fewer cavities. George Nedleman DDS
40.5mm close up lenses will do the trick I use a #3. George
I bought a Jansport daypack with a panel back and made a liner and compartments from aluminum flashing (.010")using rivets then used foam board wrapped in velvet for padding. It is for my Horseman...
According to a much more knowledgeable person than me, Howard Bond, there is no reason to modify a Pentax. He, and Jonn Sexton use unmodified Pentaxs (sp?) Geo
I have a D-6 which nearly hits the 8'ceiling from a 3'3 drawer base cabinet The baseboard is screwed into the cabinet from below and, most importantly, secured to the wall at the top of the...
If you just use VC paper, I've found the el cheapo plastic boxes are ok I have one for glossy DW,one for SW, and one for warm tone.
Pete; I'm surprised some anatomicaly aware guys have not chimed in with the fact that the left eye is not totally connected with the right side of the cortex. 1/2 of the left optic nerve, as it...
I have to vote for Iowa too. When I did the RAGBRAI bike ride across Iowa we not only rode through small towns but frequently stopped for lunch and overnight at county seats. The county and town...
As a Dentist I used Design for Vision glasses -they were wonderful but as noted they aim down too much and they cost $$$-$750 20 yrs ago. I use 4X reading 1/2 glasses that get my eyes about 6-7"...
Under darkroom timers in Large or Medium format digests someone suggested a Radi o Shack Talking Timer. I checked it out on line and it sounded pretty good @$15. I received it last week and love it....
I've taken three courses-View camera,Zone system and printing. Howard is a no nonsense person and a real gentleman. All his information is first hand. He has been there, done that. An excellent...
Amen to Robert's comments. This Oct 6 Howard will hold a large format class followed on Sunday with his alumni day where there will be hours of print evaluations followed by his wife's delicious ...
John Sexton's enlargers do indeed still have mini-skirts. The correct fog test however is to get the test paper preexposed to a very light grey then block off 1/2 of it and expose to ambient light...
Thanks all. Cesar gave me the address I wanted. No more replies please. George
Last month-Apr/May someone posted a response to an USM question with a web site that contained 4 articles on USM techniques. Unfortunately I lost the site addre ss-pls help. Thanks George
Why don't you run a series of stepwedge tests and see how the filters affect the contrast compared to graded papers? You will see as I did that there is no correlation between the numbers. I use an...
The electronic metronome is a great idea. The one I use in the darkroom for test strips,dodging/burning is a little larger than a watch and costs about 20 $US. It makes a very distinct beep. George
I had the same hassle in "Our" capitol. The train station, a subway station. and outside the Hirschhorn museum. George
This is a little off the main question but bears on some of the other comments re:natl. Parks. I was in DC last year and wanted to take a shot inside the train station. I was off in a corner next...
20 foot swells, +6' high tides, storm clouds=great pics-right? on a 15' bluff ov erlooking a wild looking ocean I set up my Horseman 980 waiting for the perfect waves to crash on the cliffs. I had...
