I'm a novice when it comes to spot metering, or metering at all in general. On my DSLR I was able to get the correct exposure on the spot metering setting, at ISO 400, f/5.6, and a 3 second shutter...
I'm assuming then that using a 4x5 tank is the same as loading a roll of 35mm into a tank? Just put the sheet film into the tank, pour the developer in, and agitate for the required amount of time?
...
For tray developing, instead of using a developer tank would I pour the developer inside the tray and then put my film inside and agitate in that?
Well does c41 4x5 use the same equipment as c41 35mm and is it the same process?
I was wondering what equipment I'd need to begin developing 4x5 color negative film at home? Safety lights, number of trays, ect.
I'm not sure how different it is from developing 35mm but I'd love...
How would it be difficult to regulate? Wouldn't I just set the stove until it can heat up water to 102 degree's then use the water that has been heated for the tank?
Could a small electric stove work?
So I'd like to start developing my own 4x5 color negative sheets at home in the bathroom. My only concern would be maintaining a precise temperature for this. I'm not looking to drop a bunch of money...
Thanks everyone.
Hm I think I will go with the Minolta Scan Dual III. I guess I'll just need to download Vuescan to get it working on Windows 8?
Minolta Scan Dual don't seem to expensive. Any thoughts on the Epson V330?
Thanks for the help everyone. I've been told to find a dedicated scanner for 35mm but I don't see the point in owning two different ones. Does anyone have experience with the V5000? I'm comparing...
Hello, at first I was considering purchasing the V500 for 35mm negatives until I realized it doesn't do 4x5. I'd rather not spend the money on a V700. Does anyone know if Epson perfection 4990 does...
Thanks! I just checked Reedphoto, they actually do offer C-41.
Probably C-41 then.
I know I'll be shooting color. I was planing on doing C-41 in a few months after being able to buy all the materials. But I'm not sure I understand the difference between E-6 and C-41?
I'll be moving to Colorado Springs in a month and because I've spent a lot of money on equipment to get me started in the studio I'll have to wait a while before being able to buy developing...
No plans on shooting outdoors...yet. My camera body is pretty big so that wouldn't sound too pleasant. I intend on keeping it indoors for portraits.
I read about the l-308S and it can do incident...
So basically, educate myself on how to use the one I end up getting by reading the manual, watching tutorials online if they have any, and more importantly practicing with it myself. While of course...
I think so, the best and most expensive meter can be useless if you don't know how to use it.
It is a bit more expensive than I was hoping for, but the money sounds worth the investment. I'll check the classifieds here for one before heading over to Ebay.
I'm going to be shooting both large format and digital, so I'd really like to invest my money in one meter instead of two separate ones. I'll be doing indoor portraits with two monolight strobes, so...
Okay I was wondering because I'm searching for a 4x4 board with a 42mm diameter for a graphic view. All the ones I've come across are either 32" or the Linhof kind which I've heard won't fit. I was...
I'm pretty new here so bare with me, but are recessed lens boards just for wide angle or can they be used for any lens?
I've been searching online for one of the zeiss tessars, and a lot of them appear to be barrel lenses without shutters. If I didn't purchase a packard shutter and decided I wanted to use a lens cap...
For a petzval or barrel lens how would I actually take a picture? I know I can use a packard shutter, but what if I wanted to do the cap or hat method? On all the ones I've seen so far it doesn't...
Depends on the relative I guess? haha
"Well you didn't give me the Christmas present I wanted so cough up 5 bucks."
That's pretty neat though, basically making back the money you spent on the film...
Laying around? Wow you must have quite a few cameras to have forgotten :D
Looks like I'll be going with the Fuji then, as it fits and I won't have any trouble with it. Thank you so much! :D
Thanks, just watched both your videos. I agree I don't think I'll want the 405, I'd rather not lose the focus. Thank you.
Thanks for all the help everyone, I feel like I'm starting to understand a lot more. I'm a complete noob here to large format so bare with me please, that's the reason I wanted the back because I...
Thank you, you know what I'm talking about!
Although I didn't know the name except than 'instant film holder' so when I googled that I kept getting sent to links about Polaroid backs so that's where...
Okay, maybe what I am looking for is an instant film holder?
For those who actually took their time to try and help me out I appreciate it.
Wooow excuse me for not being a genius on it. I made a mistake, mistakes happen. Nobody learns without making mistakes.
Thanks for the "help"
I'm having a difficult time figuring out which Polaroid back to use with my 4x5 camera. I'm planning on purchasing expired film, such as Kodak Ektachrome 64T but I have no idea which Polaroid back...
Thanks for all the suggestions!
No the Calumet won't fit unfortunately. The ones for skygrimes look great, I tried searching there earlier but couldn't find the GV ones.
Yes it is in shutter, but I haven't been able to find any...
Would it help if I did it outside on a sunny day?
Hi, I currently own a graphic view II and am planing on purchasing a Tessar 210mm f/4.5 lens. I know the graphic view II needs a 4x4 lensboard, so I was wondering where could I find a lens board that...
I haven't been able to find any successful information on studio lighting for wet plate portraits using a 4x5 camera. Can someone suggest the type of possible studio lights I can use and where I can...
I'm a little bit confused with the petzvals. They seem really nice and vintage like, but I can't find any with bigger lengths. How are they used for portraits if the standard for 4x5 portrait...
