Unless you're shooting for off-set output or stock agencies, there's no reason to shoot chromes.

I got condensation from doing that once...warm film and cold air. bummer.
I was about to suggest (some what sadistically) that if you wanted to have fun loading film (sarcasm) you should ("My...
I have a strip light by Photoflex that is an easy 20/25 units Y, but the Multidome is pretty neutral. I think it's the particular vintage of P-Phlexx that determines your filter pack (it certainly...
Adam, since you're increasing exposure, why don't you try minus development to control highlight density?...t
I've been using a 90mm F4.5 Grandagon for about 10 years on my old Tech III. Works fabulously well with the drop bed and a slight rise. The rear element fits in the front standard like it was made...
Yo Robert, The Anti-Tech here, responding to your overly analytical quandry. Others may call me sloppy, but I use a neat little device sold by Calumet to avoid this sort of painful figurin'.

Yeah John, I shot it alot with a beautiful Crown PaceMaker Graphic (wish I still had it). Your e-mail address makes me think you're in a foreign land (from me), but I put a brand new bellows on my...
We (at a commercial lab) use these lenses for 35mm at low enlarger heights when hitting multiples. The head is lens prone to vibration with all the baseboard activity. They are excellent enlarging ...
As Pat infers, the center is great but the edges so so... use a roll film back and love it, I've made a very sharp 40x50 from a velvia 6x7cm chrome out of this lens. But 11x14s are soft at the ...
Rats... I was hoping for a happy ending.
Like trib, I love my "50 year old technology" III and will not complain about fallen crests, I never had a "real" lens board (rich little poor boy)! And...
My Tech III focuses a 90mm Grandagon just fine with a lens board I made from a sheet of aluminum I got from a machine shop. It's flat, no recess at all. Aluminum is soft enough to drill with a...
I think these cameras were also called a Rickert or something like that. A friend has one (green anodized sort of looking thing). Very light weight for a metal 5x7. He likes it...t
I've used a Linhof Tech III (actually 2) for about 12 years and the only thing I occasionally yearn for is a more precise tilt up front. As Trib notes, the drop bed combined with the front rise and...
It's such a pleasure to find great people in the world and that this technology enables us to communicate so fluidly. In literaly 15 minutes I have solved a problem that is months old. I'll have my...
Sounds like an old blues tune.
But really a repair facility that shall remain nameless, has had my trusty Tech III for 5 months now, claims the felt, that goes between the film holder and the...
Ellis! My Man! I can't believe your/my timing! A client just presented me with the digital camera they want me to use to photograph their catalog of trickets! This gizmo looks pixel-perfect! ha!...
I asked this question in the B&W Film Forum, but someone here might have some in sight as well. Please excuse the cross over, if you've been there and done that.
I have succeeded in making a...
I say go for it, Ellis!!!
My advice on the 4x5 for your applications would be an old Linhoff Tech III or I V. They have a good range of movements including a drop bed for front fall, fron t rise...
I adapted mine with an old Ilford 400 Multigrade head and control panel/footswit ch (4 Grades is plenty) and it's been great for over 15 years...t
Yeah I hadn't thought about field work, but I have quit doing my industrial land scape stuff in the city. Maybe I could hang a sign on my butt when under the dar k cloth that said "no radio"...t
Sorry Ellis, no tips from me but... even if you could, why would you? The damn s tuff is so slow, disassembly would be messy and problematic, Tri-x is cheaper, b lah blah blah....what advantages do...
Wierd question, but I guess you're right. Although when given the opportunity, I suspect some folks will steal anything if it's not locked up... I wouldn't count on some junky to be that...
the graphic center in california sells them brand new for under $40. you get the tank and a rack that holds 10 sheets 665 and expand to hold 10 sheets 55, and an identical bucket with a couple of...
