Hello Tim.

I have recently replaced the rollers on my Jobo Cpp2. The part number is 95183 for the complete assembly. There was some delay as the part had to come from Jobo Germany to the UK. ...

The Sinar P or P2 10X8 stands alone for stablility. Weight and stability coexist very well as far as I am concerned.

In very windy conditions a small sand bag between the tripod legs with a line...

Hello Chris.

For the past year or so I have been using a Schneider APO Symmar 'L' 300mm F5.6 with a Copal 3 shutter. I bought the lens new, specifically for my Sinar P2 8X10. It has performed...

The Sinar P2 10X8 is the ultimate in all respects - my personal opinion of course, as a long time user.

I use the Sinar P2 10x8 on the Gitzo 1370M HD Extended Platform.
In my opimiom I have the best available combination for stablility.
It cannot be used with the quick release head, and,...

I cut my own boards. The Copal #3 to 65mm or 2.559 inches. No wobble and snug fit.

Hello Ed.

Sorry for the delay in my reply.

YES, the Large Platform Head for the Gitzo is: G 1570M.

It cannot be used with the quick release fitting but I have never found the QR fitting...

Hi Ed.

I use a Gitzo1345 and Gitzo1340 with Gotzo 1370M Low Prifile Head and the extended platform Head.

I have had no problems with stability either with the Sinar 5X4 or the Sinar 10X 8. I...

Hello Paul.

I have used epoxy resin with hardener to very good effect on a jobo drum. I have had no problems since, that was two years ago.

With with advent of the UK becomming a poor nation of Europe through political incompetence, there is a chance for all the dog wardens here to become tog wardens!

To answer the question succintly.
It is because the American is so efficient at promoting itself as the best, bigger and better, often to the detriment of other more worthy contenders.

Hello Savanna.

I am an artist that photographs my own and others work to about six feet sq.

As far as equipment is concerned I find 5x4 the most useful for work to about 2 sq. mtr.
For mural...

Hi Joe.

I recently did a review on the SH 612B which is listed on this site under RF Backs. Stan. L-B

Kirk.

Many thanks for bringing this article to the forum.

I am quite unable to match the artistic style of the writer - save to say:

It supports the theory that a unique syampathetic...

I fitted out my darkroom from scratch, I use all formats to 10X8 and process in-house.
My ideal is a shallow sink of about six inched in depth, made of plastic that is easy to clean, drain quickly...

Hasselblad are spot on with their 6X6 and all other formats- as expected.

I use Pelcan for all my photographic gear: Blads & Sinars. The largest takes my Sinar 10x8 slides lenses and other bits with ease.

I have it fitted on a ss rack on the rear of my RV. Very sturdy...

Steve:
Q-Tuan Luong gives a very comprehensive account of the Scheimpflug rule on this site, 'How to Focus The View Camera' It applies to any view camera.
Well worth a read and perhaps even a...

Thanks for your feed back.
I think it necessary to add that any fogging that did occur was entirely from the missing screws. Since the missing screws were fitted there has been no problems with...

Yes, as a small child I now feel I was misdirected about the patron Saint of England.
St. George hailed from the same region as Santa. By all accouts he was an undesirable miscreant; promoted as...

Well done Henry.

I only managed to get 50% of my first 10X8 shots to the gallery and they were certainly not perfect. Nevertheless, I still look back at them with some pride. Get Your Own Back...

Hello Bruce.

I am using the same gear for 5X4. For washing I use filtered tap water for all but the last two washes when I use wash aid followed by a distilled water final wash.

Your washing...

Hello Clemens.

I have a Sinar P 1. When I bought it the front tilt was not working properly at the five degree setting. I was able to still use the tilt by assisting the move by hand pressure. ...

Hello Frank.

Oh Dear! Some months ago I sent to LF forum my review of the SH612 but for some reason it did not appear...
I noted is was one of my early problems: Quote:
'It was not possible,...

Have you tried the speed setting at 'P' ?

It is the setting I use for the film and chemicals that you are using with the 3010 - to best effect.

Are your rail rollers in good order and not...

For some time I have been using T.Max 100 Dev. TMaxRS and printing by contact of the 10X8 negs. on to Kodak AZO paper.
I use a 100w. UV lighting set up on a gantry with a sliding UV reduction ...

I regularly develop a single sheet of 10X8 in my Expert drum on the Cpp2. I have found that using TMax RS or Rodinal 1:9 a working dilution giving 3ooml of total liquid works fine. I enjoy...

Why can't manufactures of film backs be honest, or do they have a real problem reading a ruler. Both my so called, six by twelves are little more than, six by ten and a half....

No problem with the Copal 'O' and a 34.6mm = 1.362" or 1.3/8" I have cut all my own Sinar Metal Boards using a fine toothed hole cutting bit with a hand brace. It pays to get the right tool for the...

John.
I think it relevant to your question and to the KISS principle.

When I took up LF it was suggested that to obtain and maintain the correct overall film plane the surface of the dark slide...

The best rendition of a UFO for some time.

Many thanks John.

This bit depth problem has baffled me for some time. Stan.

I have been using CPP2 with 3005 for the past year and found no problem at all. The loading of the 3005 with ten by eight is so simple. I curl the film with emulsion inside, tight enough to place...

Scott.

Had a look at your site. I too think the 'Badlands ' is one of the best. A nice selection of recent takes - all too rare, which in my opinion enhances the show.
Sorry will not be able...

Thanks Paul.

Any information or links will be greatfully received and faithfuly applied.

Declaration of Intent..

Jack, Kirk, John, Paddy, & Paul.

Many thanks for your replies. It was far from my intent to cause any offence to you or any other persons in my posting. It seems my...

Terry.
Good advice already given. To me your method of developing a sheet of ten by eight in a tray with only 600mm of developer is fraught with many dangers. It will be much easier and lead to...

Thanks Paul for the dropping of names that mean nothing to me or most others, you have proved my point...

Looks identical to my aged Sinar P.
