FP-100C requires either a Polaroid 405, or Fuji PA-145 holder.

I'm aware of a few different methods for using *Instax* film with the Polaroid 545, or even just a standard film holder:...

I started with Caffenol, and TF-4 fixer, almost three years ago. I'm still happy with them, for all kinds of B&W film. I also like the Paterson + MOD54 combination, because I shoot medium format,...

The film is all 4x5.

Paterson tank and MOD54 is very nearly as easy to develop in the kitchen sink as medium format film. (And the tank can be used to develop two rolls of 120 at the same time.) I don't o use a...

Apparently, TIFF uses 32-bit offsets, and so is limited to 4GB file size. At 4800 DPI, there are ~800M pixels in a 5x7 scan. So 16-bit grayscale requires a file of 1.6GB. But if you're scanning in...

I've had the F-1 for about a year, shooting mostly landscapes. It's my first LF camera, so keep that in mind...

I like the idea of keeping a lens mounted on the camera. But I frequently change...

Using the film area guide, emulsion-side down on the glass works pretty well; I've been doing this lately with my 4x5's and 120 -- in order to scan the entire frame and film rebate -- and laying ANR...

Six holders is a good number, if you end up using a MOD54 with your Paterson tank. (You don't have to develop 6 sheets at a time.) Plan to buy a few more than that.



I can't find my loupe. ...

What straight answer are you hoping for? It's only been generally available as boxed sheets for a few months, so I don't imagine many people have tried it. The name is a reference to Panatomic X,...

I like the film. I shoot it at box speed, develop it in Caffenol, and am overall very happy with the results. I love the price, and I hope New55 sells a boatload of the stuff.

A couple minor...

Love the information on that site, but the only way I can reliably see it is with Google Cache.

That's part of the deal when using a large, light camera. Shorter/faster lenses don't eliminate that challenge; just allow you to make another tradeoff. (If I had really understood all the...

The Chamonix has close 400mm of extension. The Nikkor M 300 is quite usable, if your arms are long enough.

Note that there are also Fujinon NW series lenses, some of which take 52mm filters. I didn't know about these for months, because they aren't on the big list of lenses. But I picked up the NW...

I'm not an Epson engineer, so I may be doing it wrong, but there's a V850 on my desk, and the focus feature in Vuescan appears to be disabled. Aside from the two transparency mode settings, I...

Found some mercury thermometers in my local darkroom just last week.

I've had some nice results with Foma 100 with Caffenol CL. Full album here.

The F1 is the only LF camera I've used, and only for the last six months. As far as I can tell, the front and rear locks let you quickly zero the tilt, and the painted marks on the base make it...

I haven't tried it yet, but I have a fresh box of Foma, and empty holders. I'll develop with either the Delta-STD recipe (normal agitation, 10-12m @ 20C) or Caffenol-CL (stand develop, 60m @ 20C). ...
