I am contemplating the purchase of a Gitzo G1258 Mountaineer tripod for use with my DLC45. I like the size and weight of this Gitzo model and it is rated to hold about 17 lbs. I also like the...

I'd invest in a lot of padding, too!
What Michael said! I consider LensWork to be an exceptional value and would pay more for it. I won't say how much more because I don't want Brooks Jensen to get any ideas!
Kirk:
First, be aware that I think you are a fine photographer and well deserving of the living that you make with your photography and self-promotion skills. That being said, who would find...
C. Alex: I never said you weren't allowed your say. What I was responding to was the obvious intent of the person who started this thread by titling it "No more... please". That seems to me an...
What really gets on my nerves is people coming to an open forum and trying it make it less open by saying that other people shouldn't discuss "on topic" stuff because they are tired of hearing about...
Before Mark beat me to it above, I was going to say that I was formatting my prints for iPod and had already sold a million and a half at $.99 each! Seriously though, I thought Brooks Jensen's...
If you want to limit the topics of discussion allowed on this forum, you should probably email the moderators directly. However, it seems rather constrictive to limit discussion of film availability...
Does anyone use Arista Rapid E-6 processing kits from Freestyle? It seems that the Tetenal 500 ml 3-bath kit is no longer available. Since this volume suited my needs quite well I am curious about...
Does anyone know how to get very specific and very current weather information about Yosemite? Weather.com says that it will be getting heavy snow tomorrow and I am considering driving up there...
I have no affiliation with this company. I do not own any of the company's stock.
LF forum members frequently post verbage like this when recommending a product or service. Its slightly...
I'm using the Tetenal 3 bath E-6 processing kit. The instructions don't say what to do after the last step, which is one minute in the Stabilizing Bath (which is apparently also a wetting agent). ...
My experiences have been great, even with the jerks in attendance. In 1985 as a 24 year old kid I was at my first workshop, the Owens Valley Photography Workshop with Barnbaum, Sexton, and...
Is it possible to purchase small quantities of archival mat board such as Light Impressions or Artcare. I know that I will pay a premium but it would be worth it. I am looking for 32x40 4 ply and...
I am thinking about having some color prints made from 4x5 transparencies in the 24"x30" size. Since I've discovered that matting and framing goes from expensive to outrageous when the 32"x40"...
Can someone post a link. I'm not sure I'm looking at the right sight.
Where do I get information about the photo competition?
I pull a 22' travel trailer with a Chevy Suburban both of which I could replace for a total of about $10K. It doesn't bother me to poop in the phone booth, shower with a kitchen faucet, or sleep on...
The best way I have found to see a lot of different large format cameras is to attend one of Per Volquart's free workshops. There's always a session for checking out everyone's cameras (and other...
I just saw "Three Roads Taken: The Photographs of Paul Strand" at The J. Paul Getty Museum and was interested in learning more about him. Can anyone recommend a biography or other source of...
gps: I think it is fairly obvious that QT made his "self-esteem" and "advertising pressure" comments in jest.
I would be interested in this workshop if it were ever held on the west coast.
QT, I think the idea of a blog link/listing page off of the largeformatphotography.info is a GREAT idea. As others have mentioned, posting a blog-like message in the forum section is too much of a...
I can't help you but I can sympathize. My employees all think that I am a little nutty because I always save computer, printer, equipment, appliance, etc. boxes, thinking that if I ever need to ship...
Am I missing something here? I haven't noticed a high level of rancor flying around here on the LF Forum! Maybe I'm part of the problem because somehow it just doesn't bother me. Frankly, I'd be...
I have the same problem as Alex with the family pets. In fact, even after I have the prints up off the floor, dried, mounted, framed and on the wall, the dog and cat still have no regard for them. ...
Eugene- I've heard that 60 degrees F is the optimal temperature for brain function. I don't know about body function, however!
Does anyone know of a shop that does custom made Cordura nylon or neoprene work? I am in southern California so a local shop would be nice but would be willing to work via email also. I'm thinking...
By the way, it has nothing to do with age. My kids don't fight either when they're tired.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned what seems to me the perfectly obvious reason that this forum is so congenial: since we all carry around this heavy equipment, we're all too tired to fight!
I have looked extensively on this site for a straightforward description of the film developing procedure that John Sexton uses for 4x5 Tmax 100 film, Tmax RS developer, Jobo CPP-2 with lift, and the...
Per, your website says January 22-23. Can you clarify?
Barnbaum, Sexton, McSavanny, and Kirby are all first rate. I've been on workshops with all of them. When I was at Per Volquartz's Zion Free Workshop last month he mentioned another free workshop at...
I could only stay until Monday afternoon but the 48 hours with the group were well worth it and always enjoyable. I'm looking forward to Joshua Tree in January.
Thanks so much for the answers. The information about the difference between the 3 and 6 bath is particularly helpful because I won't be doing any manipulation of the color balance. I will also...
I own a Jobo CPP-2 with a couple of 3010 Expert Drums that I use for B&W processing. I would like to do some low volume E-6 processing of maybe 6-12 sheets every 2-3 months. This is not really a...
The questions on eBay regarding the serial number was someone who is aware of the various upgrades that Jobo has made to these processors, and wanted to know the serial number so they could tell...
I agree, Quan. The photography that I used to do in 35mm no longer makes sense to do with film because digital is just as good. The photography that I do in LF doesn't make sense to do in digital...
I think it's sort of short-sighted everytime I hear someone say they are never going to use eBay again because of one bad experience. Not to mention we don't even know yet whether this even was a...
I'm with David Goldfarb. My first thought from this article was that the guy is reinventing the wheel, but he only made it to those logs they used to roll the pyramid blocks on in ancient Egypt. I...
