I have a Sinar back adapted by myself for use on my Deardorff. It was a temporary solution until I was able to find an original back, which I now have. I really like the bail and solid feel but the...

Welcome! I'm in Chicago as well, my Deardorff is trapped in the Studio until spring! :)

Shot last weekend on some expired 809 polaroid.

As to the bleaching, I don't tape or wear gloves. I just use Toilet Bleach Gel, on a small marble slab I have and with just a little water on the slab I throw the negative down, the water keeps a...

I've peeled about 30 of these for an assignment. I would usually wait an hour to 1 1/2 hrs and then peel them. It is something that has to be done very gently and with a smooth action to avoid...

Hopefully this will be of more use...

Shot this color shade beta at 320iso the color shade is rated at 400.

I bought 20 sheets of expired 8x10 RTP, not RTPII over the summer. With it I also bought 10 rolls of 120 to do my initial tests before burning the big sheets. Here are the results from the tests at...

Its not yet, I haven't had a chance to as I was prototyping with the legos to see if the idea would work. I'll put some up in the next few days.

Haven't posted any Portraits in a while, here are a couple, one shot with a polaroid 180 and another with an old burke and james watson I converted to take a polaroid back using legos...

An Impossible Project 8x10 Color Shade instant shot of the Butterflies and Buffalo project camera. Shot it with my little 8x10 Deardorff and Ilex 12" f4.5 lens.

Michael, I wish the BE scale went out further or had an option to switch, I've found what worked for me was to just use my values divided by 10 which is in scale for the app and still provides the...

Some very expired 809 Polacolor with the Deardorff and my new 12" Ilex Paragon f4.5
Did lightroom post to color correct the strong magenta cast and reduce the streaking.

I have about a dozen holders for use as film backs for small format cameras. They are the same holder as fp100c with a notch in some for the 35mm format. I simply made a base out of darkslide...

I bought the wooden boxed one although I'd have preferred to have picked up the newer one, and nearly did too! I'm looking forward to seeing mine soon.

I refused to pay the crazy prices the 405 holders are trading for so I spent my day yesterday making my own. Used a holder and fabricated the 4x5 bed and darkslide out of a plastic file folder and...

Some of my recent small format work...

Yes, I'm in the south loop...

Are you in Chicago Randy? I shoot 804,809 and IP silver and Color shade with both the polaroid and calumet processors..

Anyone have any 250mm Wide Field Ektar image examples by chance? I have shot my 14" commercial but not the 10" and I'm curious about the lens.

Very cool SergeiR!! Looks like a real ink killer with all the black! :)

Glad I could be of help, I actually just sent my Photographer friend out to buy a scanner on CL down in LA. His current scanner couldn't do 8x10 negatives so I told him that I just bought a 4990, I...

I have both of your Favorites too John, I picked them both up for $80 in rather poor condition, but the 14" is working nicely as a portrait lens for me. I have not tried the 250mm out yet, hopefully...

I doubt its worth the time and effort to hack anything together to make it work. I had the chance to pick up some v600 and 4870's cheap, but my time is simply not worth the stitching time or hacking...

Looks great Bracan! By the way, I talked to Impossible Project this morning about the color shade development time. They informed me that because the developer is liquid/fluid it is sensitive to...

Bam, 10 bucks good enough?

Bracan, soon I think. They released this beta batch to Pioneer members, the 100 boxes they made sold out in like 20 minutes. I might have heard may/june but I honestly don't remember for sure. The...

Got some Impossible Project pre-release color shade in today. This is a quick and dirty scan, no corrections or anything on it. I rated it for 320 and I think I went a little hot on the Bellows...
