...another thing to consider if you are thinking of making a purchase soon, Apple is slated to release the latest version of OSX, Leopard, in June.

Goo Gone (fer real!, look at your hardware store), or good old WD-40.

I thought I would point out that the developer that funded and still currently owns the Skywalk is a Las Vegas speculative casino developer, and it was the he that approached the tribe with the idea...

...or you could go directly to their website:

They have lots of information on the use of their products, and a sampler kit is availible with all their coatings.

The 10.4.8 upgrade has created widespred problems for print drivers. Try the fix outlined here:

Thanks for the information. I am looking forward to your article. In the operation of the lens, where do the two diaphram adjustments come in?

Hello Jan,

Will you please post pictures of your finished lens when you get the metal housing done? I am also curious, how do you actually use the lens, what with a focal length adjustment, two...

Please do keep us posted. I for one am following your project with great interest.

From what I can tell from the Josephinepress.com web site, they do photopolymer printing, not traditional copper plate photogravure. If this is so, it may be a good place to start, but there is a...

A good book to consider is "Copper Plate Photogravure" by Morrish. It is a contemporary book, not aimed toward production printing, as all the earlier books are. It has plently of color photos, and...

I have been doing copper plate photogravure for a few years now. I should say, I have been attempting photogravure for a few years now, with very mixed results. I suspect that it would be very...

Golden Polymer Varnish will run through a Paasche airbrush quite well without thinning. If you use the largest needle and tip, it will lay down a surface quite quickly. I've been using this...

Just turn the negative around, end for end, and scan it again. If the same puffs are in the same places, they're in the negative. If you get different puffs, it's your scanner.

If used as a brush plater, the plate would probably be too thin to hold up. I used it as an immersion plater, and ran it for a long time, taking the part out and rotating it every once in a while. I...

Large scale electroplating is a nasty business, but the Casewell plug-n-plate system consists of a wall plug in transformer, an electrode, and a small bottle of plating solution. No large tanks,...

I have used Casewell's Plug-n-Plate brush plating system to plate nickel. For small parts, it works quite well as a dip plater. The parts must be VERY clean before platinng, and sometimes a part must...

Thank Herb, that might be helpful. Please let us know what you find out. I was considering, based on the scanner survey results, in investing in a 2500f, but based on what I was told by Microtek's...

Apparently scanners that are still under warrenty are replaced, not repaired. This makes sense for low end scanners, they are just not worth repairing, but it is hard to understand their policy when...

I have just been informed by Microtek that they no longer have a service department. If a scanner is out of warrenty (one year , in the case of a 2500f) "You just have to buy a new one." Given the...

paulr, I would like to explore the work of other photographers doing similar work. Do you have any names or links for other photographers of miniature landscapes?

Has anyone out there used the old Sekonic L-228 for LF? Am I correct in understanding that it is not really a 1 degree spot meter, and is this a major set-back?

You might also want to consider that the 1280 inks are Epsons older dye based inksets, and they are not very lightfast compaired to the newer pigmented inks in the Epson 2200.

The Kodak folding tripod sounds interesting, but I can't find any information on them. Where can I see one?

Thanks for all the helpful replies. I'm looking into combining features of the Ries, the Wolf Woodline, and the Berlebach. I really like the reversable spike/rubber feet of the Ries, and Berlebach...

I am in the process of designing and building a light wood tripod for my Ikeda Anba 4X5. I can go with single extension legs (lighter and probably stiffer?), or double extension legs (folds down...
