I just came across this a 'question' couple of days ago after having recently 'resurrecting' my Palm Pilot that had gone into 'hiding' after a house-move a number of year ago'.
When I was a...

I have been using Pyrocat HD (mixed form the 'scratch' chemical components)
in BTZS tubes for both my 4x5 and 8x10 film. After many years of either tray or hangers-in-tank development I have found...

Earlier this year I decided to invest in an Epson 870, using View Scan
As yet I have not scanned any of my 'older' 35mm or 120 films, since the majority of my scans are from 4x5 inch negatives for...

Well... after some 60-odd years under the dark-cloth (of which 30+ were spent in a Scientific Research Center), I'll be hitting the double sevens later this year... but... I am still looking...

There seems to be no mention of the bellows 'draw' on the 8x10. I am able to mount.... and use.... a 480mm Rodenstock lens on my old and much experienced Burke and James 'woodie'.

OK... I'm...

I 'invested' in a wooden tripod from "Zone IV" those many years ago... after becoming really dissatisfied with the somewhat over-priced tubular metal metal... especially in the cold winter months....

Over the past 60+ years I have used both tray and my much experienced Kodak 'hangers' in hard rubber tanks.

Might I be allowed to direct you towards the BTZS developing tubes. I have...

I was 'taking' a studio course a few years ago.... at the final critique one of the senior students 'implied' that a couple of the prints that one of the class had hung. "Those have all been been...

Old enough (and maybe a little bit more) to remember making my very first photographic exposure on 8x10 Ilford glass plate under the guidance of a neighbour ... who was then a few years older than I...

Re: Photographers Oath to swear in Basic Photo Students.

Always consider it an act of MAKING a photograph rather than 'taking' or 'shooting'.

Around 60 years ago my mentor would give me an...

Louie..

I have, on numerous occasions, recommended Bob Wheeler's freeware for those photographers who own what may (by some) be considered the outmoded hand-held Palm Pilot. It will provide, to a...

Hi Mathew,

Unfortunately, I had tried Fred’s ‘other cure' for the problem… a cord attached within the legs to reduce the ‘spreading” of the feet on smooth surfaces under the mass of the camera…it...

For the past few years, I have had to humph around a piece of carpet to place between the metal spikes and wood floors. I have been keeping my eyes open for that folding protective floor ‘device’to...

I have been reading View Camera since about the second or third issue. I have more than enough to keep me re-reading and feed my addiction. During the I was a subscriber (over a few years), an...

Nate,

When gainfully employed, I used black velvet as a background for many thousands of images on EPY and sheet B/W.

If I may, I strongly recommend that you get the more expensive type rather...

Andrew, I've been using the Bi-Kardan for quite a long time... built like a tank and after a mile or so hike, seems to weigh about the same. I use a 75 Grandagon on a modified recessed bellows... I...

Thanks Ted, I have the Bi-Kardan (with the large lensboard supporting the smaller size), and, since these are heavy beasts, and now wanting to "go back" to 8x10 finding that the 8x10 rear standards...

I wish to retain my 240mm on it's present Linhof lensboard, but would also like to be able to mount it on a wooden lensboard for use on another camera. Can anyo ne provide me with information on...

I was taught that you measure the distance (far distance minus near distance) that you need to have in focus, multiply that by either five or seven (I can't for the life of me actually remember)...
