I'd be interested as long as the chemicals weren't too expensive. Discovered ilfords direct positive paper before I got a chance to use it.
Really beautiful color. Great image!

Brothers, Sisters...
I come to you in the wee hours of the morning victorious and filled with adrenaline. My wife is sound asleep and I have no one to tell the good news, so I will write it here...
Gorgeous tones and textures.

From Sunday in Rocky Mountain National Park.
I also have a 410 head and do enjoy it, but it does get a bit heavy over time when hiking. I've paired it with aluminum sticks (Manfrotto LG 27EA63VB) so the setup is quite heavy, but with carbon...

Super high contrast scene. Stand developing did me a lot of...
Test negs are still drying, but wanted to go ahead and report results anyway.
This go round I pre-soaked for 1 minute with constant agitation. From there I kept the 1:100 dilution and agitated...
Nice! Will be there.
Thanks to every for the responses. I'm intrigued by the idea that the ambient temp of the tank changes the temp of the water immediately surrounding it. I'm using very cold water while the tank is at...
Wish I had taken these. Beautiful textures and tonality.
Ok, so I'm loving the Mod 54 so far and am getting great results with E6 and standard BW development. I would like, however, to use stand development regularly. I'm liking the results I'm getting...
Last one for a while. Promise :-) Testing my newly acquired Fujinon 90mm 5.6. Thanks Bryan!

I'm curious if there are any current rental houses still renting LF gear, and of those that do, who ships? I've done a little research already and found that most of the rental houses that used to...
For those looking for a less expensive solution, I've been eying the Vanguard SBH-300. Under $100 retail and rated up to 70 lbs. Not sure, but I imagine it would work ok for 5x7. 8x10 would be much...

Chamonix 045N-1 - Ilford HP5 I forget the lens.
Thanks!
That was 4x5. Silly of me not to state so. Right you are on the original RVP. Because of the date I had to expose at ISO 16 for a usable exposure.

My new-to-me Shen Hao TZ45IIB. Love this camera....
After a few weeks of use I'll resubmit my opinion about the Mod.
Used it to develop both E6 and bw. There is a bit of a learning curve with loading, but I've only had film pop out once. The last...
Never said it wasn't a great deal. Both the HZX and the TZ can be had for under 1k and are amazing cameras in their own respect. Not just for the money. Between the two, the TZ felt to me like it was...
Posting this here in case anyone is looking to buy and comparing again (as I have recently).
The HZX and the TZ are both great cameras. I bought the HZX first and was impressed with its range of...
I don't really think anyone is saying that Plat/Pallad isn't the correct way to convey his message, but the digital element introduces a different look/more options than a "process driven" piece that...
Art that is bound by a chosen process - a Purely analog approach for example. If an "artist" has a concept he or she wants to convey it is their responsibility as an "artist" to communicate that idea...
Never said it should matter to other people. Everyone's giving their opinion about the video.
I'll +1 the surprise at the digital element. Seems so much care is taken to keep things hand worked and natural. You've got a huge 8x10 negative to work with. If we're talking about a hybrid process...
Just wanted to post here my first Mod 54 results. Film is still drying, but everything worked beautifully. Negs are thin b/c of underexposure, but are even. I did have one sheet pop out or was loaded...
Thanks for the reply. Used a rubber band and it came right off. Much more tempted to keep it now.
Does anything need to be loosened before removing the rear flange? Does it simply unscrew? The one on my 90XL appears to be very stiff, though it certainly is new enough to have the feature.
I've been shooting mostly E6 recently and developing using the taco method. Tacos work well, but will bend Ektachrome quite badly. Velvia seems to bounce back rather easily. I've never had any issues...
In my experience I'll care less and less about the wash temp as the I progress through the baths. Final rinse I'll use room temperature. You'll be mostly fine unless you rinse in a vastly different...
I've always been told that its important for the shutter to be shimmed to its lens elements. My guess is that this isn't as important for film as it is an 80 megapixel digital back, but I've got to...
Seems a shame you choose to forgo a beautiful part of the planet simply because its inhabitants sometimes carry a means of self defense. Unless you plan on holding anyone up I think you'd be fine.

I'll submit a third recommendation for the Judge for those interested. I have a Public Defender with three .410 Buckshot and two .45 hollow points loaded. Hope I never need to use it, but nice to...
HA!
I assume you're referring to the 8x10 Polaroid? Only way I could sustain that is if clients pay for it. A lot of younger couples are really into film photography and tactile prints, so I'm...
My next upgrade will probably be moving from 4x5 to 8x10. I'm thinking of incorporating 8x10 Polaroid into my wedding photography. I keep struggling with selling the 4x5 to help ease the cost of the...
Just wanted to reply to this thread since I found it extremely helpful. Just picked up a used 4990 yesterday and found a startling amount of dust underneath the lid's glass. Easily took it apart with...
