that's a good suggestion Dan. Thanks!

Jim and Ken make an excellent point Ari, I gave up trying to locate the old style black rubber tanks for hand processing, one of those "I shoulda kept those" things. I am doing my processing in...

I have a 5108 and print everything form 35mm to 8X10 negatives with it. You just need additional lens boards that are sort of hard to find and pricey in my experience.
The negative carrier has...

Las Vegas strip. Tech IV, 75mm, RVP

Dubai, January 14,210. Fuji RDPII 4x5 Schnesider 210mm

Here is one from Dubai that I made on a recent trip.

thanks everybody, I'll give that number a try Bob. I am leery of the vaseline, I am headed off to the mid-east for 3 weeks of shooting and that just seems like a sand and dust magnet to me.

what to use on the rails of the technika? the front standard could move a little smoother upon deployment?
What are you all using?

thanks!

thanks for the tip Jim, that sounds like it will get spendy real quick. I wonder if my faculty ID would help me with the "it's for academic research" plea...

I use the Museo silver rag and really like the results I get on an Epson 7880 out at school. I just use the profile from their site. I scan 4x5 velvia and provia on a V750.
I really like the feel of...

Hi all, I'm heading to Jordan, Egypt and the UAE at the end of the year to photograph and I wonder if anyone knows of any trouble using a tripod at any fo the usual sites like Petra, Giza, Dome of...

I send my film to Color Services and I live in Kansas. The owner is a great guy and they are top notch. One of the only labs in the country that gets my business.

not a cheap lens but the 75 biogon is pretty sweet. I have been shooting a lot of color with it lately and lovre it. Really sharp and the contrast is very nice. A bit of a "heavy old pig" to travel...

Hi there, they are great enlargers. I have used them for a very long time and only have nice things to say about them. Well, ok alligning them can be a bit of a pain but other than that they are work...

Hey group six, thanks for the set of pictures. I have had them on the wall in the work room for a few days now. It's an interesting set of prints, it looks like I may have thrown the curve ball.
I...

Mine are in the mail as of this evening. One extra for you Darr!:)

I have had great success with both of those papers. I drymount on aluminum in my vacuum press with colormount or mt5. I have recently been playing with the dibond material and it works really well...

I think color services in Needham Mass is the best.
The owner is a heck of a nice guy and he activley promotes artists threough his web site and the gallery at the lab.
Give them a ry!

Hi Darr, I'm in again. It was loads of fun to see what I got. I have a couple of them up on the wall now in the latest rotation.

I have had great dealings with this place, he is currently selling a rare Lee Friedlander book on consignment for me.

How about a new picture thread of images made of small things using a big camera.
Here a couple of mine to get it started. -Caleb

I agree, go 8x10 with the enlarger. I shoot 5x7 and 8x10. There are several to choose from on the used market now. I picked up a De Vere a couple of years ago for a song. I have been contacted in the...

Hi Terri, in the KC area you could go to Overland Photo at 90th and Metcalf and ask Lee Bartell to take a look at it. He has been repairing all kinds of cameras for decades and would probably be able...

here is my 5x7 shooting last week in Dublin. This one is a tropical copy of a baby dorff made out of teak. It is heavy and not real tight but when:p it gets pinched or smashed to bits while traveling...

I use a jobo drum as well, the 8x10 one works for my 5x7 but only does 5 at a time. I just can't justify buying another one right now. I did discover that the little jobo 1500 series 35mm tank with a...

have you thought about using good old PVA jade glue? I have used it for larger pieces like you are dealing with, you can find it at places like light impressions and other sources for book binding...

I've got a spare replacement bulb for that head that I will never use. How does 85.00 plus shipping sound?

I enlarge, I couldn't go back if I tried. I can just squeeze out a 50 x 60 in my dinky little darkroom in the basement. I scored a Devere 8x10 many years ago when a local lab went under. This thing...

It has worked really well for me, going on 12 years now and couldn't be happier. Heck, sometimes I even haul out the cpp2 and use it :D but mostly I just roll it in the sink. D76, xtol, tmax rs,...

you can take it to Express Photo in Brookside, 6301 Main street, they take it to H&H in Raytown.

that show is currently on display in Kansas City at the Nelson Atkins Museum. The camera is there as well. It is big. I found the camera more interesting than the prints in the show. I think the...

mine are going in the mail tomorrow.

I was so happy to find this poll on here, I voted for the Wall piece because it is better to me than the particular Crewdson piece it was up against. I do however think that Gregory makes some...

I caught quite a bit of the series yesterday. Ovation was running a marathon of the episodes. It was pretty good really, it is really slanted to "fine art" photography and would probably drive some...

darr, you are the best for doing this! I have it down to 9 images I need to choose from, oh.. decisions decisions....

I have had good luck adapting a de vere 5108 head to mine. I have modified my zone 6 enlarger to do some non-traditional photographic printmaking and I just got fed up with the low power output of...

I am new here but I would like to participate.
