I use 3/4" masking tape on the top face of the film holder. It fits neatly between the two raised runners on the facing. I write all the information I need with a Sharpie pen.

It's a spice you can find at a lot of place online. It's also used when making sausages.
Try Sodium erythorbate, it's the same thing, different name. The Great American Spice Company has 16oz for...
It should be simple if you're using 500ml of distilled water.
You take 5ml of the "A" solution of Pyrocat HD in glycol and put it in the distilled water.
You refer to it as "Concentrated Part A"...
For me, if I can't find a Pyrocat HD time I'll look for a PMK time and knock 10% off and use that as a starting point. For rotary processing I'll knock off another 15%.
I've seen it listed as a D45M. I've owned one for years and it works nicely, although it's buried in some closet. The camera itself has been going on ebay for around $200 when I've stumbled across...
With my LPL 4500, the only way to print 35mm negatives is to invert the lensboard before putting in the enlarger lens.
Have one also, bought years ago from seller in Canada
My Saunders 4500 has a rotating column so I can spin it around and project on the floor or the head rotates 90 degress and I can project on a wall. My Beseler 810MXT is large enough I can do 20x24...
4x5 most often :D
8x10 next :)
5x7 rarely (reducing back)
It's been mentioned on this board long ago that in the same situation, a person could just ship the unexposed film back to their home address by UPS or FedEx
When I develop 8x10 film in drums, I use a Beseler 8x10 drum. It holds just a bit under 350ml of liquid. I use various developers and just subtract 15% off the development time to compensate for...
I have AGFA x-ray duplicating film and it's slower than slow.... slower than paper. My duplicating film also makes Positives, and I use red safelight when developing by inspection
JD Photochem in Canada. They have POR (Price on Request) for 10#.
I cured my GAS with BURN OUT
(I don't know which is worse)
I've made "Rodinal" a few times from scratch from the formula Photographers Formulary has listed in the .pdf of their kits. I've never had a problem and the homemade solution development times are...
12" Commercial Ektar (305mm) covers 8x10, give it a try and compare it with your other 300mm lens
There are people on the auction site and some who frequent the boards who custom make boards for people and some even drill holes to order.
If you really want to go wild, buy better brand name...
I'd wonder how old your Pyrocat HD "A" solution was.
I've had a water softener for over 10 years and I've never had a problem using soft water with chemicals. I know it's not recommended by...
I think it's more close to being the "Chasing the Magic Bullet Syndrome."
It's not always the quality of the glass you have. Having the experience and the right technique matters. There are a number of photographers on this site who can take a "mud sucker" and make...
Excuse, it's a Rodagon lens......
Paid $750 for Beseler 810MXT with Grandagon lens, digital timer, dozen 12" x 12" contrast filters and assorted darkroom items like trays and a grain focuser. Only had to drive about 15 miles to pick...
I got my battery acid at Kragens, they keep it behind the counter. Eventually I started using sodium bisulfate instead because the Formulary uses it in their Reversal kits. Sodium bisulfate can be...
I have a number of 16x20 and 20x24 prints, but they're all family related. I have Zero large prints of landscapes or still lifes.
You asked nearly the same question last July 30th

I don't shoot as much 8x10 as I should so I occasionally take the camera out back and do a few shots. For this purpose the Arista.EDU.Ultra is good enough. I have a few 100 sheet boxes of 8x10...
I have a 375mm Orbit in an Ilex 5 shutter that works like a soft focus lens. Wide open it's very soft and gets sharper as it stops down. From the front it looks identical to my 375mm Ilex Acutar...
If I'm putting a flange from an Ilex 3, 4, 5 shutter on a board, I first put the flange on the shutter itself and then put it on the board to see how I want the shutter aligned. I prefer the cable...
If the list of Mpex available lens came from the same page, they should all be in shutters. Mpex usually has a seperate page listing for barrel lenses.
It's been a couple of years since I bought...
I'm about 20 miles ("as the crow flies") from LA International, but I see the vapor trails at high altitude all the time. I can only assume that the jets are going to Washington State, Hawaii, etc. ...
Both films in 120 curl for me, both in 4x5 and 8x10 sheets are very flat. I've never had an Arista.EDU.Ultra negative come out thin if it was developed properly.
I have 5 oxygen and acetylene bottles (different sizes) and numerous torches, gauges and tips. Naturally the bottles are empty and need a hydro before they can be refilled. My late father used to...
My garage is clean, yet I don't have the room with all the stuff I have. It's a nice problem unless I forget where I put something and have to dig through everything.
I need a "hat" lens board...
Most of my wordworking stuff is buried also. It was a special occasion last year when I dug out almost everything to make new base moulding. I wanted to make some new lens boards at that time, but...
If I needed to make a recessed lensboard out of wood, I'd use a plunge router to evacuate the center of the wood. (I do have the clamps to hold the wood safely)
I've made a number of wood lens...
I've had my 110XL since 2002, stored in a lens wrap with silica bags and all that in a Ziploc bag. I have all the lenses in drawers of a wooden cabinet. Geographic location - Southern California.
Me, being the eternal pessimist wouldn't do such a thing even if I had a lawyer draw up the agreement. With my luck, I'd want to go over to use the equipment and see a new Porsche in the driveway of...
I think what would bother me most would be the idea of my equipment being bought up cheaply by someone with the intent of turning a quick, large profit. I've seen it too many times in the past...
I wonder if that would make a nice thread, what will happen to people's lenses (or camera equipment) when they pass away? I'd hate to think that my stuff might get sold off for a very small price...
I keep my lenses in individual lens wraps and put in individually marked Ziploc bags. Inside the wraps are also 3-4 small bags of silica dessicant. Recently, I took out the dessicant bags and put...
