Darkroom for B&W. Digital for color.
The version of this I've heard is that Canadians could have had it all--they could have had British culture, French cuisine and American know how. Instead, they got British cuisine, French know how,...
The lens I've had the longest that I still use is a 1958 50mm Leitz Dual Range Summicron that I've owned since 1976. A year later I bought the large format lens that I now have had the longest and...
Congratulations, PF, and welcome to the LF club! Not bad at all for a first attempt. It's easy to get caught up in the gear, and in all the "how to do it" info out there, but there's nothing like...
An 8x10 Deardorff NFS which I bought in 1980, and converted to front swings with the Ken Hough kit 5 or 6 years ago. It wasn't my first--I had several 4x5s before that, and it replaced a Korona...

It's easy to add a pocket to the surface of an existing wall...and light trapping the bottom of the door is no problem if you don't mind stepping over a 2 inch high threshold channel. That's what my...
A revolving door best for a darkroom that may be used by more than one person at time, unless you have room for a black painted passageway with at least two right turns, in which case you may not...
If you are planning on getting the Chamonix 4x5, and you don't already have lenses on some other type of lensboard, I would suggest just using the Linhof Technika-style lensboards, which fit the...
90mm Fujinon SW
125mm Fujinon-W
150mm Apo-Symmar
210mm Nikkor W
250mm Fujinon W
300mm Nikkor M
