One perhaps expensive alcohol choice might be kami fluid, which is used for scanning. It doesn't harm the negative, and evaporates completely in seconds. Downside is the expense plus the fact that it...
Now I'm confused in two ways. First, why would anyone ever do stand development in a Jobo 3010??? And second, why would anyone develop film with refrigerated water for days in a fridge?
Whuuut??? :confused:
I think until you eliminate the bowing variations caused by the original holder, and can assure that the film is in the plane of sharpest focus for both scans, your scans do not prove or disprove...
Pasiasty, is this mounted on glass (eg, betterscanning holder)? If so, dry or wet mount? (I'm assuming this is an Epson, but please correct if wrong.)
My first civilian job was in the call center for a major computer manufacturer. Overheard one telephone specialist: "Sir, please place the 'O' 'N' '/' 'O' 'F' 'F' switch in the 'O' 'N' position. That...
In my opinion, this is more likely due to closer proximity to the plane of sharpest focus. I've scanned emulsion up and down and not noticed a difference in image quality.
But if you are using...
Hugo, and the mysterious Hass:
Well done, looks like it will be a great product!
By the way, for dry mounting, Scotch Magic Tape is perfect. Leaves nothing behind on film. For wet mounting, it is horrible.
Hi Ben,
You will need to shim the AN glass to the plane of sharpest focus of your scanner. Doing this with shims is fine, but it is more of a pain to do than using the betterscanning holders,...
From reading the v330 spec I don't think you will be able to scan 4x5 film. I suspect it only backlights the area for 35mm. So this should not be on your list.
If you are just looking for a...
And you're still stuck with a Bayer filter, unless you do 3 CCDs and a beam splitter, or rip off Sigma's Foveon patent, or commit to a black and white only sensor (not such a bad commitment).
...
I think it is safe to say that at this scale, film is pretty much the highest tech around - best bang for the buck in image capture. There is no cost effective CCD that's going to get you where large...
Both. The cost of a CCD chip goes up dramatically as its size increases. This is due to the way chips are made, and a concept called "yield". Basically, chips are made in groups on large "wafers",...
That's all old obsolete film photography gear. It is worthless. But I know there are some Aussie photographers here on the forum that are into recycling, and since some of this equipment is coated...
The 700 and 750 only differ in the internals. Externally they are the same.
When I was at that concert, I had an odd premonition that we had already seen the last hanging that would ever take place in Canada. Now, reading this thread, I see just how prescient I was...

It puts wet printing in a darkroom into a whole new perspective, doesn't it? ;)
Additionally, if you drop the base, your front standard is no longer vertical (even if you have adjusted the tilt to keep the lens itself vertical), so swing will induce yaw [or in my mind, weird...
Bill, here is how to calculate file sizes. Assuming you are scanning for printing, and the printer is printing 300 pixels per inch (ppi). Don't confuse this number with the wild numbers you see from...
Bill,
You've gotten a couple of vague answers on the "What is Kami fluid", but nothing more specific. I'm currently in China, where the fluid is not available. I researched it a bit, and from what...
It's got a low murder rate because it's just too dang cold to be out killin' people!
Anyway, if you're gonna shoot people, shoot 'em with film.
Back on the original post, I took his threat to...
Is this technique the same as the "Edge Sharpening" found in Aperture? Seems to produce nearly the same result anyway from my quick experiment.
I'm finding that there are a number of advanced...
If you're doing landscapes or portraits with your Chamonix 045N-2, I don't think you'll be disappointed to be missing out on the yaw-free feature of the 045N-3. If you use a field camera to do...
Frankly it all seems like too many variables. shooting a relatively new film for you (HP5) at ISO 500, developing at 62 degrees, and using a new (for you) exposure process.
I'd agree with others...
I would not invest a lot in protecting stop bath. It is acetic acid, basically lemon juice or vineger (don't drink it). And anyway, you can substitute water instead of the acetic acid, works just...
You won't regret the Chamonix. I was going to sell my Wista after I bought the Chamonix, but my wife talked me out of it. So I've kept both, but really enjoy the Chamonix.
I like the longer...
Regarding Chamonix "busy-ness" on the back - having now owned one for a bit, I have come to appreciate its many features, especially the back "BS".
It has back tilt, but includes two little metal...
Ivan, just out of curiosity I just put a voltmeter on my FM3a hot shoe and on my F4 hot shoe. The upper right pad (as you look down on the hot shoe from the shooting position) goes to +1.59 V on the...
Perhaps it is, but my SB600 can be awakened by my Nikon FM3a, which Nikon brags is a fully analog system internally (of course that doesn't mean it can't generate digital signals at the hotshoe, but...
Yes, great place. Tons of used equipment if you are into collecting. They have a couple of good large format shops, one for new stuff and is packed with LF gear. The other LF shop is for used stuff....
Thanks guys. Living in China I have to struggle sometimes to find what I need. We have a great camera mall in Beijing though. The CowboyStudio brand triggers are called "Nice" brand here. I found...
Oh, I should mention that this is intended to be a very lightweight system using speedlights as my strobes. I have the strobes, which work fine with my Nikon gear, but would also like it to work...
I'm pulling together a flash system to be triggered by my Copal shuttered lenses. I have a cheap chinese wireless trigger system made by Yongnuo, the RF-603N series. But they can only trigger from a...
I'm not trying to get into a protracted argument about this. My point is simply this: filters in PhotoShop that are intended to simulate camera filters are designed to work with a color source. A...
As I stated before, unless you are shooting color film, in order to accomplish the separation of tones that black and white film frequently requires, you need to do this by filtering in camera....
Assuming of course you are shooting color film, and don't need the shutter speed adjustments that ND filters allow.
If you are used to doing inversion development in the equivalent Jobo tank, this appears to deserve its 5stars. I tend to like my Patterson more than my Jobo, and always pined for a sheet film...
I only go up to 4x5. I use a calumet changing room a my darkroom at home (I am not doing wet printing.) it is sufficient for loading sheet film into holders and into development drums. I also load...
