    Re: Ouch! This hurts!

    I hear you!

    All it does for me is it forcefully encourages me to slow down more and be extra careful and discriminating when to comes to firing the shutter.

    Re: 5x7 enlargers?

    There are still aged 5x7 Elwoods around. Elwoods are darned good machines for the price, IMHO.
  3. Re: Big snow coming to the Sierra Nevada this weekend

    I heard that the National Park are closed for the duration. It's going to be a mess where the roads transit burn scars with all that dead timber.

    Re: 4x5 vs 5x7

    I've used 8x10 trays, Unicolor print tubes, and a stainless steel tank made for developing 120 film that accommodates multiple reels.

    The OP might consider rooting about for a Graflarger, or is it Graphlarger? However you spell it, an accessory that can convert a Crown to an enlarger.

    FWIW, I have a nice Wollensak yellow dot 159mm that rarely gets used. It takes fine images, I just don't find many 8x10 shots requiring such a wide angle, so a 250mm WF Ektar or 240mm G Claron see...
  18. Re: I need some advice on choosing my first two large format lenses.

    I'll suggest starting with a single lens, anywhere between 360mm and 240mm. These are pretty normal focal lengths for an 8x10.
    Shoot with them for a year or ten months or so and it'll tell you if...
