One thing no one has brought up about the Speedotrons is their appetite for power. I've used black line Speedotrons for the past 15 years (2400's and 800's) in the studio and on location and have ...

This is a common problem when scanning transp. or negatives on a flatbed scanner. The problem is caused by the contact of the film to the glass of the scanner. Many scanners come with holders for...

I've actually used rubbermaid containers filled with water. When I returned to the lab, I would soup them in the Sod. Sulfite then. All seemed to work just fine. I guess this method could result in...

Am I missing something here? Are you wanting to produce a digital print via your scanner? You didn't mention what kind of flatbed scanner you have, but if it has the capability of doing ...

Michael, I am basing my statements on things that I have actully seen happen. I was just referenceing Mr. Wilhelm's book because he too had mentioned similar problems. I have no experience with the...

Michael, you may want to check out what Henry Wilhelm has to say about low-density polyethylene enclosures (like Print-File) in his book "The Permanence & Care of Color Photographs" chapter 14. He...

I would like to echo Mr. Thompson's advice on the storage of 4x5" negatives. Printfile storage is not all that it's cracked up to be. I've had film "stick" inside these sleeves many times over the...

I shoot a lot of small things in the studio (coins, stamps, etc.) and have never used a "macro" lense on my 4x5" camera. What i do use is an extension rail and an extra long bellows. I usually like...

I've never seen hoods for large format lenses. I know they sell lense shades that resemble a bellows that fits on the front standard of a view camera. These can be adjusted in or out to fit the...

I know you can use Tech Pan with special development to achieve this "look". I believe the info is available on the tech. sheet. I'm not sure if it's available in sheets though. It seems that I've...

Try the Hollinger Corp. at 1-800-634-0491, or Gaylord Brothers @ www.gaylord.com . I know Hollinger has them in Polyester and Polypropylene.

My apologies, I obviously misread your question. You wanted info. on shooting photos, not paintings. Some of the methods I mentioned in my post would apply to this as well. Please forgive.

I know Sinar used to have a high end camera that would close the shutter and stop down to a pre-determined f-stop when you inserted the holder. I saw this at a Dean Collins seminar several years...

I've been shooting framed paintings going on 14 years now and have came up with several methods of obtaining high quality images. Glass need not be removed if you do one of the following; place...

I really do not think anything moving during an exposure would cause a double image ,except if you were using a flash. I would think if anything moved during an exposure, everthing would be out of...

We use a Caltar II N 90mm f/6.3 one of these lenses at work and we hate to use it. It seems like you can only do limited movements before you have some major fall-off occuring. We use this lense...

I hope all of you are planning on making contact prints with this Azo paper since the speed of it is extremely slow. The only time I have ever used this type of paper was with a very old contact...
