  1. Re: Shooting multiple formats (4x5 & 8x10) - separate lens sets, or one for both?

  2. Re: Shooting multiple formats (4x5 & 8x10) - separate lens sets, or one for both?

    I've used the Fuji 240/9 and 300/8.5, the 210 G Claron and the 110SSXL on both. Just from a logistical standpoint a lens tends to live in either the 5x4" bag or the 10x8" bag though. It's just easier...

    What looks like an unfortunate Royal mis-step is still all good as at least it keeps Prince Andrew off the front pages for a few days. As you were.
  4. Re: What system for 8x10 in a Jobo 2500 tank?

    I used the Catlabs 8x10 reel when it first came out and I hated it because it heavily scratched the film (completely removing the emulsion), a fact Catlabs didn't seem overly concerned with. I got a...

    I've been metering the RC MGIV as ISO 6, or ISO 3 if used with a yellow filter, overcast light. The negs aren't the densest though even then. This matches with the Ilford documentation as they...

    Re: extra wide angle lens for 8x10

    I'm sure I've seen reference to the earlier (dagor type) 150mm G Claron covering 8x10", which makes sense since the plasmat type *almost* covers, and the dagor types are reputed to have a little more...

  32. Re: Wide aperture performance of 110mm to 120mm lenses

    Belt issues you'd expect to cause lines running parallel to the short side of a 5x7", whereas dust on lamp or sensor or elsewhere in the optical path you'd expect lines parallel to the long edge.
