  1. Re: Preparing for Contact Printing - Paper Question

    I would also encourage you to go straight to the Lodima paper. When I started in my darkroom I bought a bunch of Ilford RC paper because it was cheaper. I still use it for some proofs, but it is so...

    If the labels were put there as a can't-miss-it flag for exposed vs. unexposed film, why is the white label on the "black" side of the dark slide. White is for unexposed; black for exposed. This is a...

    H.D.C.,

    I'm using Telus for internet, and it's working now. I didn't change anything with my computer - I'm sure the problem was with Telus.

    Poll: Re: Poll: What format do you shoot?

    My first choice is 8x10 (BW and colour), but I find myself using 4x5 more often due to its smaller size and weight.

    Great new 180mm to cover 8x10?

    I agree. I find the SS150Xl very wide on 8x10, but do like the 90mm on 4x5. Would definitely be interested in a SS180XL (in a copal 1).

    Commissionned new lenses, foolish ?

    Thank you all for the answers. I knew the 550XXL was overkill for my needs (and I already have the Fuji 600C). And I won't be be getting the 1100XXL as my 8x10 does not have that much bellows. I...
