Thanks, looks like good info. I've got aq couple of boxes of 4X5 I've been carefully playing with.

They are a wild native in Northeast Oklahoma, several slightly different varieties are native across the Southeast US.

I'll use a tempering bath with ice in the summer and hot water in the winter to get my chemistry temps to where I want it. If my water temps are too high for printing I'll either try to get it done...

As an aside, while I can't imagine setting up expensive equipment like that and leaving it unattended I'm thinking a couple of tent stakes and guy lines would have gone a long way to prevent the...

Agreed!
I'm a newbie in LF and I've spent a good bit of time watching his youtube stuff and several others, and have learned quite a bit.

I recently acquired a Osprey Aether 70 to tote my 4x5 stuff for off road expeditions.
I have no illusions of serious hikes lasting several days but I do plan to be hours away from the vehicle.
I...

Hell, if he'd come out with that statement I'd have been OK with it and they would still get my business. The BS is what turned me off.

Yup.
All the guess work and supposition don't mean much in the face of what HenryP posted here and on APUG as to the why of the sudden change.
His answer was absolute BS and an insult to the...

That makes at least two of us. :)

Ain't that the truth.
I'm a reasonably competent "hobby grade" B&W darkroom printer.
I'm still looking for a "RA4 Printing for Morons".
I've got the equipment to print 35mm to 4X5 up to 16X20,...

I'm in the early stage of planning a trip through there on my way to SW Colorado for early fall next year. Kind of want to visit my cousins and use up some film in the area on my way through.
Hope...

I've got family in Manitou Springs. Haven't been through there in several decades though.

The OP and I are in the same boat as far as classifieds here. Looks we both joined up the same day and still have a week or so to go before classifieds are available.
That's why i commented about...

That's it, tease the new guys... :)

My copy of "Understanding the View Camera" arrived via the brown truck of happiness yesterday. Does a good job of explaining the concepts presented, now if I just had a camera to practice them...

Good points but I didn't know what books on the subject were rubbish and which were worthwhile till I'd been poking around here and APUG for a while.
I read a thread where some other new guy was...

That's probably about right. There were other British Navy ships there, including one submarine. Being fellow submarine sailors a number of our crew and the British boat got along well and much...

I once bought a camera and didn't tell my wife, she was home when the brown truck of happiness showed up.

Oddly enough, I'm also about an hour from Miami but just about the opposite direction.

It's been 25+ years and there was alcohol involved. :)
Pulled up Googlemaps, we docked across the Firth and had to take a bus in to Edinburgh proper.

My AE-1 has even been to Scotland. We made a port visit to Edinburgh in the Spring of '91. Wonderful place.

If you figure out a trigger your RT let me know. I've got the Youngnuo version and haven't been able to get it to work using a hotshoe to PC adapter.

I haven't actually made the jump to LF yet. I'm here mostly to learn.
Leaning towards some variety of 4X5 field camera.
Bought my first real camera in 1981, Canon AE-1, still have it and using it...

Another newbie wanting to get in to LF (likely 4x5) here.
Take your time, figure out what you want to do with the camera. Then learn about cameras that will do what you want them to do. I'm...
