My experience with Fomapan is that I have trouble controlling contrast. One thing that's worked reasonably well for me with HC-110 however is semi-stand development: 1:100 to 1:150 dilution for about...
Hope this isn't spamming this thread. These two photos are an experiment I did of a screen, so not exactly a window. I previously made a similar photo and was really happy with some tricks I did with...
This photo was taken a long time ago (or more accurately were taken, on two occasions, it's an accidental double exposure) but I just developed it yesterday:

One photo is my daughter,...
Neoprene tablet and laptop sleeves work great to hold LF lenses on boards. They come in lots of sizes and colors and are cheap new (Daiso the "99 yen store" for example) and often free used. This is...
Very nice photo! Also, I have an EXIF viewer, and found it cool/amusing that you have edited your analog scans to include your exposure data (Chamonix 058 | 260mm F11 6" ISO25)!
Hey Sander,
This is a stale thread, but I find myself in a similar situation. Did you have any success? I've got a box of 8x10" Biomax XAR I'm getting ready to test. The only other entry I found...
In this very unusual case, I think that works. The closer eye is covered with hair. Kinda cool actually.
Hey Peter, I was just suggesting that perhaps Freestyle order a run of 25 ASA film from this former ORWO factory and slap a new name on the box. I realize that FOMA doesn't make 25 ASA film. FYI:...
I this manufacturer they would benefit from a partnership with a company like Freestyle Photo. Freestyle presently rebrands Foma film as Freestyle.edu (?) Years ago they used to rebrand ORWO products...
Hey glad you noticed. Yep, I'm his grandson. In fact I still use the Burke and James 8x10 he gave me when I was a teenager.
And here's another story FYI: http://www.theislandofalameda.com/2010/11/photographer-dog-walker-shooed-off-public-navy-property/
Somebody already mentioned this, but check out this story in our local paper: http://alamedasun.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7785&Itemid=10
That's me with my Toyo 4x5. Originally...
I told him I was on public property....this sort of thing happens all the time. The bigger your gear, the more attention you draw. But I was really glad to see that this one ended in a victory for...
Hey, I was testing some lenses to share with you all on this very topic when I got rousted by a security guard. I had the 127mm Ysarex, 135mm Optar, and 150mm Sironar ready for testing and .... well...
KEH in the US has been a good source for large format stuff. I looked and found a bag bellows for $70. I bought my present semi modern 1960's 210mm Rodenstock Ysarex for less than $60 too. At that...
Is this open to the public? I get stopped so frequently by security and police when I'm clearly in the right, I'd like to avoid getting into any trouble when actually trespassing.
Thanks for the info Ed. Are you happy with the results? Perhaps I should just have the shutter overhauled- I wasn't sure if it's worth it. I think I got this at a swap meet for $50 or $75 bucks a...
I agree with all your comments re: Coit Tower, but if memory serves, all the openings are glassed in. That part isn't so good for LF photography. I've sold some stock photos of the murals inside...
Wow, you're right. I didn't notice, though I'll have to pull them out of storage and see if it was on the click or not. Seems like a bad design!
A friend loaned me this one:

Hollywood Portraits: Classic Shots and How to Take Them (ca. $27 at Borders)
I really like it: it's...
I don't know if it's possible, but this has no shutter. The glass itself is very very small indeed.
How about a Rodenstock 127mm Ysaron for Polaroid. The last one I got I think was in excellent condition and costed about $30. Not lots of coverage, but perhaps you can put your fancy lens in a...
Hey Dan,
I did search, but found very little. For example: ebay has zero present listings, and two completed listings for the search: 75 mm berthiot. The two completed listings have both keywords...
Just checked out your site: I LOVED this photo "Out of the Window" took me a moment to figure out what I was looking at.
To me 4x5 might make sense for you. I don't think the German market...
John Kasaian's suggestion: Mare Island and Colma I second those
Someone else suggested Stanford Campus I think, very nice but watch out for the tripod gestappo! Also the Marin Headlands, and the...
Those are both very photogenic towns. As for the dates of buildings- you might need to consult a history forum somewhere. I've stayed at the National Hotel, nice looking place, but a bit run down,...
You could also have film placed in a lead lined pouch- they used to be available at any camera store for just that purpose. Of course I haven't any idea what is available in Central Asia, but...
Just on a technicality, I think there was one bad modern wide angle lens made by Rodenstock: the 90mm Geronar (think it was also sold as the Caltar "E" series
I have the 90mm f8 Super Angulon:...
I've been trying to clean house and have a couple of oddball lenses I'm having trouble figuring out. Any thoughts of the value/utility of these? There isn't too much online about either.
I posted...
I'm the owner of a 180mm Sironar vintage 1960's with separation issues (rainbows along the edges.) It's come to be one of my favorite lenses- sharp and contrasty. I bought the cells for almost...
Perhaps this is a dumb question: but the lens has a serial number of 0531, aren't Soviet lenses first two digits the year of production? Either way 1905 or 2005 appears way too old or too new.
