For stiffeners, try using about 65 lb paper. "LIGHTLY spray it with lacquer. Let it dry thoroughly. Comes out roughly about the same stiffness and all as that stuff they iriginally used. Then look at...

Problem I had on restoring some of the old cameras, is the screw sizes may have been the same on the screw part, but the heads tend to be just slightly larger on the new screws. It was indeed a pain...
I have one of the metal chemical cleaner tubs that has the lid and recirc tank, and was wondering too about a heater for it. Doing black and white, not a problem. A good salt-water heater and...
Epperson Photo for film. Most sheet will have to be ordered. Check with Baker Photo. Photo enthusiast, but not sure about LF (In phone book. Located about 25 miles east of OKC) Limited stock anywhere...
The sabbatier effect is cool too. The second "light flash" is the hardest part of getting them right. if contact printing, why not just use ortho. it's cheap. and you get the benefit of a negative.
There are indeed some "positive" print papers out there. I do not recall immediately what or where. Go to APUG and do a search under their "Pinhole" forum. You will be able to find it there. They...
Cyrus. That is just too cool. I have read on several different methods used, Which process type did you use?

This thread started out about monetary savings, but in reality...? Look at the price of the toys we are playing with. It is kinda like the thread a couple days ago from Cyrus on photogravure. That is...

I got one helluvadeal on a roll of Ilford MG IV RC 48 inch X 500 feet. Something like 25 or 30 USD and shipping. PITA cutting it in current darkroom. More becuse of size of cutter than size of...
Lou, the link and pics worked great for me. Don't know what their problem is.
Operator interface errors?
That is kinda neat, 'specially the camera. You are right though. It would have been even...
That's good!!
Is that a case of don't know shit from shinola?
This is also the reason for pumping out half-assed lawyers faster than a Mickey-D happy meal.
In the late 90's, I was living in mid-town Manhattan, and the city had actually had to hire a "Sidewalk...
I have always said that this is the reason for going from 35mm, to MF, 4x5, etc etc, and ultimately we old half-blind geezers start touting ULF (the bigger the better) as the only way to go. "The...
Check with a local attorney that is knowlegable in such matters. CYOA (cover your own ass). There are fine lines dilineating between selling items to fund a "hobby" (in your case, "part-time. amatuer...

Ash, around your part of the world, around turn-of-century, 5X7 and 6.5X8.5 stereo cameras seemed to have been fairly popular. I have had a couple. One was a Meagher tail-board, and another no-name...
not knowing how meticulous you are, ordinary window glass has a "green" tint to it. (hold it up next to a piece of clear plexi) Most glass suppliers have an "ultra-clear" glass that works well. OR go...
I have done couple of old cameras this way using 1/2 ounce or thinner, pig-skin splits, or black-out curtain material. It works. Here is a pic of one of them, posted some time back on this forum:...
If you like the camera, and you are pleased with amount paid for it, then it was an exceptional bargain.
Pretty cool looking setup, and with those lenses, etc, looks like she's ready to go dancin'
did you ask him if the "bokeh" was that little wreath of smoke that curls off the end of the joint? Or is it the colours you can hear after lhe microdots?
And supposedly, correct usage of "bokeh" helps to enhance the photo, and draw the eye to the more imprtant details of the picture. Following is a link to an "art" page that made the use of bokeh a...
http://www.redhat.com/redhat/linux/gnu works pretty well (go to Fedora Link) http://fedoraproject.org/
As well as their open-office and graphics applications software (Gimp) http://www.gimp.org/...
Quite the contrary. Makes him look like a pretty smart business man. Look at all the publcity and advertising he is getting from all the stupid rants and endless posts regarding his product. And how...

hey mods, how about you ban all these people that keep resurrecting littman and his junk, and let the raz come back?
How long they gonna keep feeding and beating this dead horse?
Perhaps he is being neither obscure nor pretentious.
Perhaps it is the reader being dull of understanding and of a difinite lower level of intelligence.
Nah. That cain't be it.

Some time back, I got a 5 1/2 inch by 500 foot roll of this stuff, unopened, put it in the fridge, and pretty much forgot about it. I have now got "plenty" of time to do something with it, and.....
Valid point.
If you were shooting commercially, or for a newspaper/magazine, then hands-down the choice would be the dslr. Take a couple hundred shots and go back to the lab to see which ones work....
Only in California. Here in Oklahoma, Craigslist camera and darkroom stuff still lists for about as much as they were new. They just haven't figured out that nobody wants the stuff except me, yet.
Ya know, ya gotta love them Bostonians and the parties they throw!!
Odd thing about traveling overseas and returning to US. If you buy jewelry (watches, rings, neclaces, etc) and bring it back to...
Hey!! I think I resemble that remark!! :rolleyes:

I stand corrected. Those are some things you just don't think about, y'know? My apologies.
Some people have a knack for landscapes. Some for architecture, some for portraiture. Having followed Sir Ash thus far, I really really enjoy his candid "people" shots, such as this protest march....
