It has been mentioned above that one may not want to stop down more than 2 stops in order to avoid diffraction limitation effects. That may (or may not) be true, but the actual MTF charts for...

For some strange reason, Calumet does not respond to emails, but they have an 800 number so that you can call them. If your Zone VI Cold light was purchased new from Calumet 2 years ago, it...
Just to clarify a comment made above, "The Film Developing Cookbook", Anchell and Troop, Focal Press 1998. This is a must have, not for the discussion of formulas, but for the chapters on film and...
The published development times for the new TMX (100) have been reduced by about 25% for D76 (1:1 small tank). The new TMY (400) times have not changed. The new Plus-X development times increased ...
I believe that Mamiya is imported into the UK by Johnsons's Photopia, but your point is well taken that most of products (but not all) sold by RW are imported by other companies. So I stand...
Bob, all your statement proves is that there is a distributor in the UK (Linhof & Studio Ltd.) from whom RW much purchase their stock, and that they jack up the prices just as much as HP Marketing....
Jonathan, my initial comments were directed at John Hennessy, who said "B&H is, near as I can tell, no longer a 'discount' source. Often B&H is at or very near full retail.?
Your subsequent...
Both Toyo and Mamiya are imported into the USA by Mamiya America Corporation (MAC). This has been discussed "ad nauseam" in other threads (see the archives). B&H Photo gets their Toyo and Mamiya ...
I found the remarks above about B&H (no longer a discount store) to be amusing. The fact is that B&H does not carry gray market Schneider or Rodenstock like Badger Graphic. They only carry...
If you can find a used Zone VI Cold Light Stabilizer (discontinued) at a reasonable price, you can use it as a dimmer, even without hooking up the photocell (which normally has to installed...
Your Aristo head (with or without the updated V54 tube for VC paper discussed above) can be used with a Zone VI Stabilizer. The Zone VI Stabilizer is designed to work with a photocell that needs to...
My apologies to Mr. Taylor for claiming that he was a lab technician for other photographers. I confused him with another person who seemed to promote similar arguments in the ?Film and Processing?...
Daniel, are you suggesting that when Kodak publishes the old and new development times for TMX and TMY in the same publication (see above), that they are using different methodologies? If Kodak...
Correction to the above post: PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 100 (new version) development times recommended by Kodak for D-76 1:1 @72F in small tanks are 25% shorter (not 15% shorter).
I do not think that the new film "is one more Kodak conspiracy to derail your photography.? However, I do think it is an attempt by Kodak to cut costs and keep the company and the jobs of its...
Who says they didn't change the emulsions?
Kodak is now including the new recommended film developing times for the films that have moved to the new manufacturing facility. It is also...

Anchell and Troop ("The Film Developing Cookbook", Focal Press, 1998) say that Bergger BPF200 is similar, but not identical, to Super XX.
According to the Epson web site, it's 4" x 9". They repeated this spec several times, so it's probably correct. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/index.jsp
Instead of release paper, I use another sheet of museum board on top of the print. This can be reused, although should be changed every so often. You need to be sure that the press is adjusted so...
There are two kinds of answers to this question, the obvious economics of running a magazine, and the philosophical issues involved with the value of traditional vs. digital photography.

Prose and photojournalism are an act of "showing". Poetry and fine art are a "making", an act of the creative imagination. As such, art is a mode of indirect communication. The "maker" of art may...
Delta-1 makes a wide variety of sinks, but unfortunately they don't have a website. You can contact them to get a catalog. B&H Photo also sells most of their sinks. I would recommend getting an...
Andy, glad to hear that your insurance may pay for the loss. But I am surprised that you left the gear (especially the lens) in your car overnight, because this makes it susceptible to moisture...
Kevin, One of the things I don't understand is why you denied in response to Jennifer that you purchase gray market goods, when in Photo.net on February 03, 2002; 08:01 P.M. Eastern you said:

Kevin, aside from the hypocrisy about your own past purchases revealed by Jennifer above, it is interesting to note (www.kjkolosky.com) that about 7 years ago you started a new career as an...

Kevin,
I am not sure I understand your first sentence, but I think I get the gist of what you are saying. However, Robert White is an official authorized importer of the goods they sell. They...
Thank you Mathew.
It is common practice in consumer retail purchases that defective goods may be returned to the retailer for replacement (usually within 10-30 days of original purchase) if the...
Keep in mind than when purchasing from Robert White, USA customers are avoiding the 17.5% VAT (value added tax) that everyone else in the EU must pay. I imagine that the average EU resident is not...
Xman is hereby sentenced to 30 days probation for turning the underline html tags on, and forgetting to turn them off.
Mr. Triffin is ruled "out of order" for starting a new thread, instead of adding on to the original one (so that the rest of us will have some idea of what he is talking about). This violation of...
Julio,
Prior to the 1998 Supreme Court case referenced above, it was definately legal to set up exclusive importing and licensing agreements in the USA. Many ?official? importers collected civil...
Just to clarify a few issues from above. In situations like Toyo where they rely on independent companies to do their marketing and distribution outside of Japan, there is usually no such thing as ...
Mamiya America Corporation is the official exclusive USA importer of Toyo view cameras (and obviously Mamiya MF cameras). I believe that Robert White is an official importer of Toyo (and many other...
If you look at the B&H Photo web site under large format lenses, you will see detailed specfications available for most of the lenses. The image circle is usually quoted at a specific f stop, or...
I assume you are referring to Arista film sold by Freestyle (and supposedly manufactured by other well known companies). Aristo (Grid Lamp Products - www.aristogrid.com) is a company that...
The B&H Photo web site often has image circle specifications (at specific f stops) for large format lenses.
Ilford is now using the Gallerie name for its digital inkjet papers. Gallerie graded paper has not been documented on the B&W section of the Ilford website for a long time (if ever) and it's still...
Calumet also has a good selection of graded papers. Their mail-order business ships from Chicago, which may be cheaper shipping than from NY. The trick to getting paper (and film) via mail-order...
