i throw in my 2 cents about the yankee tank . i am a user : ) like the tank . never had any problems . fits 12 sheets and i can develop 2 1/4 X 3 1/4 .

i borrowed a hp tank from a friend and...

b&h should have them . if not ask the people at the photo lab they might sell you some .

check midwest photo . i think they had a deal on a wisner expedition . around $1200.00

i own a 4x5 wisner technical that i am very pleased with . i have no experience with a deardorf .

i just bought a btzs focusing hood from here

good luck

also don't forget the Mutter museum and 30 th street station . you'll have to call ahead for the Mutter though if you want to use your camera .

i would be careful in that area . not the nicest part of town . i think you are talking about the Chester , Marcus Hook area . right ?

i use a porta-trace 10x12 i think i spent $30.00 . nothing fancy but works great and i have not had to change the bulb in years . thanks

i justed purchased a btzs hood from http://viewcamerastore.com/ and am looking forward to it . it will be much better than using my changing bag .

the high gas prices will not tone down my excursions much , but it will affect things like how often i go see a movie or go out to dinner . i will curb other activities before i let it affect what i...

it was the bellows here are 3 photos . the first is with the normal bellows , the second is the bag bellows with my dark cloth over them , and the third is just the bag bellows .

thanks for all...

from a crown graflex 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 in new york city . efke 100 sheet film

i have used lexol and red wing shoes makes a leather oil that works well . i have a wisner with kid skin bellows .

no problem i just couldn't figure out the FWIW . still learning .

take care

tim

just curious what is FWIW ? and no i don't use a grey card i just try and image what part of the scene i want to fall in that space ( 18% grey space )

but did you factor for the sand ? which would throw off the meter by a stop or 2 ( reflected light )

i have to disagree with steve . i think the crown and speed graphic camera are fantastic for a beginner . for under $200.00 you will get a sturdy camera , lens and shutter , and maybe a few film...

yes . but what type of meter . if you screw the filter directly on to the spot meter that may work . but if you are just holding it in front of the incandescent or reflected meter that's probably no...

i have a crown with a optar and have been very pleased with it . it's not great for tons of movement but neither are crowns . i think i paid about $150.00 a few years ago .

just a note if you...

with the 35mm you are metering through the lens and the filter , so there is no factor the meter has already compensated for the filter . with large format most use a hand held meter and the filter...

thanks for the info greg . i did take the time to find a black 5x7 sleeve from a finished b/w paper box that i put the film in inside the box . just as a precautionary measure .

thanks

tim

i never considered this . i am using a fairly new t-max box . the only thing is though i used it the weekend before this happened with good results , but maybe the box was damaged from the previous...

yes thanks for the idea . i checked and the images are not reversed from what i originally took .

thanks

tim

yes i would appreciate that . i don't think i would get a honest answer from the lab i used . just a note to . there were a total of 6 images and they got progressively worst so 1 and 2 were not to...

no exposure was not too bad i actually corrected them some what with the computer and did not have to adjust the exposure end to much a lot of adjustment with temperature and tint though .

thanks all for the input . i did a test today with the bellows theory . i took one shot with the bag bellows , another with the bag bellows covered with my dark cloth , and a final shot with the...

i would enjoy seeing it mike . though i think my problem is the bellows i always enjoy a good photo .

thanks

tim

i think i figured it out . it's my unlined burgundy leather camera bellows . i shined a flashlight through one side and it produces a nice red color . i will test tomorrow with the lined bellows to...

thanks for the info ted . there are 6 images total . the 2 shown are the worst , butt they all have this red cast . i plan to call the lab on tuesday to find out what they say .

thanks

i know i am fairly new to the forum , but so far i have purchased 2 items from forum members with great results ( jim jirka and brook martin ) . these sellers provided speedy shipment and tracking...

i have just upgraded from a graflex to a wisner technical and am very pleased with it , not the best camera for lenses wider than 90mm but tons of movement great bellows draw and nicely made .

i...

just tried it again . this time tmax 100 at 68 degrees for 12 1/2 minutes , 3 minutes longer than kodak recommended . these negatives came out much better . all most perfect .

thanks for all your...
