MORE RESOLUTION!
Rise is nice, too.
I took a quick look at Kodak's data sheets. They have a blue-sensitive film, and a green-sensitive film, called X-ray B and X-ray G, respectively. I didn't look for an equivalent ISO speed. As far...
I have a friend who got a digital camera two years ago. He's always at events snapping pictures. As I am with my Minolta. I come back with an album full of prints for my friends to pass around,...
Hey, Doremus, I don't care what other people think, I've got a Mozart painting and I love it! ;)
I also use white lithium grease - got a can from the auto parts store. It's what I read to use in several sources on camera repair.
I understand that the "WD" in "WD-40" stands for "water...
My brother, the artist, asked me, the electrical engineer, what RIP is. He was looking at large format printers on Epson's web site and said they recommend thi s thing, but no where on their web...
My employer has Ebony's web site locked out. They must think it is a naughty place.
Is it?
That's bizarre.
I was going to suggest that it is the film holder, but since you see it on the ground glass, that rules that out.
That seems to be kind of a weird problem for a lens.
I'm not...
The good news is that the $1000 of Polaroids would serve you no purpose whatsoever. The polaroid film will have different reciprocity failure characteristics than the negative/positive film that...
The M mode switches in an additional gear train to delay the opening of the shutter. Most likely, it is just gummed up and needs a cleaning.
If the shutter fires correctly otherwise, and you...
How does a throw-out bearing that is being held motionless wear out? Pushing the clutch in and out twice to put the car in neutral and take it back out would wear the bearing twice as much as...
Film-sized envelopes? Put a pair in each envelope. I've seen envelopes for 4x5.
You're going to have difficulty making the individual images line up.
Think about all you see projected on a sphere like in a planetarium or an Omnimax theater, with your lens nodal point at the...
To add to Jim's comment, I had a stand-alone HEPA filter unit (got it at Sears) that I got to filter out dust in my apartment because of dust allergies, but I let it run in my "darkroom" before I use...
I got tan lines all over my body. The funniest ones are the ones of my face from my bike helmet straps. They don't seem to affect my shooting at all! I've never had a subject complain about my tan...
I think that if you have prints made of your pictures, you can dispense with the transparency adapter. If you stick with the application that you're talking about, you don't need a direct scan from...
The manufacturing code might give more info - it's stamped on the bottom of the focussing rail. It gives the month and year of manufacture. The code is described somewhere on graflex.org.
And if...
I am planning on having LASIK done in January. My opthalmologist, who has done over 1000 patients, is the most experience refractive surgeon in the area, has been doing some form of refractive...
With a name like Gavin Walker, you'd think he could build his own camera!
Oh...excuse me. I was thinking, "Galvin."
Struan,
Thanks for the info. I've been wondering what the proper method for affixing and Aero-Ektar to the cat was.
Be sure that the tank, lids, tops and reels are all very dry before loading. The streak may be some residual water that rolled across the film before processing began. Also, be sure to pour the...
...And "fish" is plural if you're referring to a number of them of unspecified species, but you use "fishes" to refer to multiple species. Or something like that.
And "cow" can either refer to...
Hello, experts,
A coworker's mother-in-law found a stash of old film that she'd been carrying fr om home to home over the last 30 years. There is 126, 127, and 620 rolls. Some of them were...
Florida. 2PM. Summer. Every day.
Maybe it is not supposed to have more read shift and swing than what you can get. I don't think many field cameras have much if at all. My Toyo 45A has no shift and only swings a few degrees.
You're probably not going to be really wowed by the capabilities of large format until you develop your own film. Even a 4x5" contact print will look fabulous. The Polaroids will be relatively...
I keep e-mailing Midwest about Graflex parts, but keep getting, "Sorry. Can't help you."
When calculating equivalen focal lengths between 35mm and 4x5 to use a 35mm format flash, be sure to compare the narrow widths of the formats, i.e., about a 4x conversion, to make sure that the flash...
Actually, according to Kingslake (History of the Photographic Lens), U.S. stands for "Uniform Scale" and is N*N/16, where N is the f-number.
The beauty of this system is that doubling the U.S....
Well, if you want 300mm focal length without 300mm of bellows draw, you need a telephoto design. The most popular lengths seem to be 270mm and 360mm. I can't comment on the relative quality of the...
I like using the Uniform Scale (US) like on my Kodak Autographic Jr.. U.S. = N*N/16 where N is the conventional f number. The number is proportional to exposure.
Yay! Someone has seen the light and is moving in the right direction!
From what I could tell looking around on the web, Robert White can significantly undercut the Mamiya and Toyo prices in the US. I.e., brands imported by Mamiya America Corp.
And I hate to point...
I assumed that Jim was kidding.
Don't overlook used cameras in 8x10. They're not as plentiful as 4x5's, though, so probably not as cheap, but certainly look into them before going with the Bender.
If color separation is performed with optical filters over the same CCD, then differing amounts of gain will probably have to be applied to the three channels to take into account a non-constant CCD...
I think that you really should contact Horseman about the proper arrangement of your ground glass and fresnel lens (the magnifier sheet). The most common arrangement for cameras designed for it that...
I can't talk about Pyro, but I use a CPE-2 for everything. For 4x5, I use the 2509n reel. I've never had a problem with uneven development or anything. I'm surprised no one has suggested the...
Yeah....those are right.
My message didn't come out formatted like I want. It turned out more confusing than I meant.
