I am specifically interested in the Manfrotto models because of the levers that operate the legs. The twist feature of the Gitzo's hurts my arthritic hands. Any other users of the carbon fiber model?...
Greetings!
I am considering switching from my current Manfrotto 3401B legs (Aluminum) to the 055MF3 carbon fiber 3 segment set that looks to be the same heft as my current set.
Can any users...
I seriously considered many options like these myself and here is a device made specifically for "back packers" and sports enthusiasts that fits the bill perfectly. They have a couple of models. One...
"Crop til you drop" is my moto. I refuse to let a manufacturer's arbitrary format get in the way of expressing myself through images and the joy of seeing. Recently I have been printing square out of...
Greetings,
I am a large formatter who is beginning to dabble around with digital printing. Has anyone subscribed to the Epson Print Academy "Online Experience", the 60 part, 12 week...
Great responses so far. Does anyone use this RH designs device with the Saunders/LPL VCCE head? The head works by using neutral density filters to keep the highlight times the same while switching to...
Hi Yall
I have been recently reading about the RH Designs products that are f/stop timers which are combined with print exposure analyzers which purportedly makes it "easy" to get a usable...
Hi there!
Yes, I use this viewer on my Toyo VX125 at all times. I love it and I always use my glasses when I use the viewer. The face plate/baffle with the magnifier is quite wide and...
I own this enlarger and love it in every way. I can find no faults. The VCCE head is accurate over the range of about filter #1-4. Lower or higher, you may have to make a time adjustment to keep your...
I use the CPP-2 for all my film (120 and 4x5 with ED) and believe it or not, all my black and white fiber base printing in sizes 8x10 to 16x20. I love the machine and would add that the CPP-2 with...
Very good web site; I looked at everything. I like your simple layout and unity of color and tone. The thumbnails were very easy to see on my 1024x768 screen setting. Two constructive criticisms:...
Good point. We are talking the new 100 T-Max here. Thanks...
I may not have made myself clear. It is the Printing that he is having problems with. The negatives look fine, but the UV exposure is not resulting in a print, while the same printing technique done...
Greetings,
A large format photographer freind of mine who does not frequent the internet boards is having trouble and I thought I would querry my friends here. He has used T-Max 100 4x5 film...
Greetings all,
I have recently received an email from a workshop instructor saying that there is a rumour that the spotone company may be out of business and therefore spotone may no...
Well I would suggest using the crop tool on the tool palette. If you don't know how to use it, use the help funtion that is included in Photoshop and check the index for "crop".
Beyond that I...
I too, like to shoot large format (4x5) in a square cropping and so use two pieces of matt board just lightly jammed into the ground glass depression. Actually on my camera I use a horseman folding...
Sorry for the delay in responding. I have #23851 which is therefore a machine with the newer motors and I used the recommended setting of "4" with the 3010 expert drum. With the data you have...
Hi all,
to answer Rob's question:
N+2, 1 sheet, 1000ml
N+1, 1 sheet, 1000ml
N, 2sheets, 500ml
Hello again,
I recently posted my test results for the new 320 Tri-x 4x5 sheet film for
ISO testing and development times for N-2, N-1, N, N+1, N+2 developments and
found that the...
Neil: I have not tried full strength in that I wanted to obtain the 1:1 benfits of increased sharpness and preserved film speed.
Mark: You are right that one has to watch out for capacity issues....
Hi Andre!
Yes, I know that we all expect our tested ISO's to be about half of the carton listed ISO, but I have found to my utter delight that both Tri-X in 4x5 sheets and 400Tmax in 120 rolls FOR...
Greetings:
I knew that I was in for some testing when the new 320 Tri-X became available
and have finally completed that. I was amazed at how differently it behaved.
The longer...

Greetings:
I am possibly interested in taking a Miksang Contemplative Photography workshop with Michael Wood. While he does not use large format for the course, the ideas I am sure are...
Hi Yall,
For the last three years that I have owned my Saunders 4550 XLG enlarger (which I love) I notice that sometimes the switch for the power supply emits a big blue spark when I turn...
Hello all:
I am considering getting a Toyo conpendium for my VX125 and I notice that it has a slot and holders to accomodate 3, 4, and 5" gelatin filters. I have never used such filters...
Is it fruitless to try to use a hood on the 90 SA XL?
Scott
PS: I use the CPP-2 processor
Don,I second the above comment. I do all my Multigrade IV Fiber printing in the Jobo at all sizes. Rib marks do not show at all. At first however, I did my washing in the tube also and then I did get...
Greetings,
I would like to order some screw-on rubber lens hoods for my three large format lenses. Currently I never use hoods, but have been told that they may make a significant...
Hi there:
I too feel there is something wrong with your processor. Have you called Jobo tech dept???
What an amazing post! I am 46 and two years into large format (4x5). Just took a John Sexton workshop and am INSPIRED and revamping my darkroom for some serious photo phun! Always wanted to be a...
I have taken three workshops in the last year or so and here is my 2 cents worth. I had just started large format and did not have any experience with my 4x5 so everything was new. For this reason...
Thought you might be interested in what I learned yesterday from Kodak. 100TMAX (the new name) has been produced for cut sheet 4x5 film but has not been cut into that size yet. No new 100TMAX for...
Hi All,
I am currently shooting a Toyo VX125 (6 pounds) which sits quite high because of its semi rail configuation. I am using a Manfrotto 3401B tripod with a short ce nter post (6 pounds). I am...
The camera exists, I have seen a prototype, apparently the decision to put it into production at least in the US has not been made yet. I have no other info.

Hi all,
Am considering a wooden darkroom sink and need advice on what products to use. I assume plywood for the wood. Any special type?
