This has been a typical problem over the past few years. I think it started when Polaroid changed the color of their packets from gray to black. Anyway, after clearing I wask my...

Man you crack me up.

Congratulations on your new Ebony. I also have an 45SU and absolutely love it. In all honesty it is without doubt one of the finest 4x5 cameras available today.

As Paul menyioned, Assymetrical...

Love the way you can use the mouse wheel to scroll between images. It may be me, but the ICG 350i seems to blow everything else away with respect to detail.

I called PW are they still have ISO 125 film available in 4x5 only . They can not cut anything in large sizes. SO my search need for their 16x20 hit a dead end.

I have read recetly that PhotoWarehouse no longer has their ISO 125 film (FP4).
Has anyone found another source for this custom cut film?

I need 16x20 sheets for enlarged negatives.

For a lower end product you may want to look at www.mypublisher.com. They print small and medioum sized "photo album" type books that I have seen for sale in galleries. pretty much a canned format,...

Tried Oxyclean on my trays a few months ago.
Did not even make a dent in the dektol stains.

Diluted bleach overnight left my Cescolite trays sprakling white and smelling like a desert rose.

Pete,

You are 100% right. I mis-read the subject and was referring to the new 400TX. WIth TMY Permawash or Sodium Sulfite works fine.

My mistake, the new 400TX stain drives me nuts.

Michael

Removing the red dye is extremely dependent upon your developer, fixer and water quality. I find that adding sodium sulfite does nothing, treating on PermaWash helps a little, and fixing for longer...

Before reloading I wipe the components down with a solution of Downey fabric softener and water. No static and the holders smell good.

Jens,

Thank you for your timely and thorough posting to this forum. Your candid assessment of the situation. I do agree that it is much too easy for people to post complaints on the forum that go...

Unbelieveable.

I guess the name calling and last response just continues to show this man's true personality and tells the whold story.

I regularly make negatives using an Epson 2200 and Pictorico OHP film. I print these negatives in palladium or platinum. Prints from these negatives are difficult to differentiate from traditional...

IZAACK, or is it Eric? You are a nasty and arrogant person incapable of a mature discussion.

Have a good life.

I have to give a two thumbs up to your recommendation. Recently I picked up a box of 16x20 Kodak Polymax FineArt FB Glossy (F) DW and have been printing a new project on it.

There is no question that Ebony Cameras are simply the best.

Seriously, Ron Wisner is a very concerned and talented individual. The 20x24 is an incredible camera. It is impressive and the fit and finish are excellent.

My buddy has a Wisner 20x24 in his studio. Looks like a very nice camera. It was delivered in November. Wish it came with all the parts so that we could use it.

I have owned an Arca Swiss and enjoyed it especially for studio work. In the field it required a bit of setup time and bellows swapping when changing lenses. The metric movements were nice and very...

Fair enough Michael, Perhaps a more gentle approach would have been sufficient. I did plant the seed of question and got the answer. Dennis and Fred responded and made the situation right.

For the record, I finally received a response from Dennis. Dennis has no reason for why I did not receive the subscription. He has offered to send me back issues.

A close friend has an Ebony 57SU. It is an amazing camera. Looks like a slightly bigger version of my 45SUE. I must say that is was smooth as silk. Perhaps someday he will give it to me as a gift.
