My living room. I'm too low class to be allowed in other people's more interesting houses.
Crown Graphic, Fujinon 75/8, expired Astia.
I owe it all to Frank.
My previously Petronio-owned Norma 8x10.
Or did you actually want to see pictures of the camera?

As far as I am concerned, only Ash has standing in this discussion. His photo is the only contribution of any substance to the discussion. Those who have critiqued are simply voyeurs. Their...
Hey Frank, you must have big fingers! I can swap out my Crown TR cams in seconds. I agree, however, that I've never had any success in calibrating a Kalart RF.

I like your photograph very much as it is. Rather than a clinical rendering of the entire instrument, your photograph depicts the violin's form emerging into the light.
Nicely seen!

I knew the lounge was intellectually dangerous: now it is filled with active threats.
dcypher, what a cool photo.
Alan,
I've got a Calumet shutter tester, but no instructions. What are the instructions for higher shutter speeds?
-Mick
I was all set to dispute this, then I decided to try it out on my Crown, with the following unexpected results:
1. My f6.8 Angulon 90 sits on the back rail. I can't make it focus infinity under...
Rodenstock 75mm f8 4x5
1. HP5+/HC110
2. Polaroid Type 55
Great theme for a thread. If you simplify the rule to allow FL of half the film diagonal or less, you'll allow 75mm on 4x5 and the equivalent on other formats. This is still plenty wide, and will...
Kalanchoe: Sinar Norma 4x5, HP5+/HC110, Rodenstock 150mm
Well, I adore my Crown.
However, tilt is *not* practical in general. The lenses that I would like to use tilt on are my 75mm and 90mm. Unfortunately, these very lenses remain on the inner rail...

Spectacular if it's open again
HC-110, mostly with HP5+.
Like you, I wanted to avoid mixing powders. In addition, I wanted to avoid fussing with a lot of temperature control. I process in a Jobo drum w/o bath, and can't...
I just had a chance for the first time to look at David's images, which are well-executed, unpretentious, and beautiful.
David, I had a sudden urge to ask bensyverson to design a web site for you....
To me this would be the make or break issue for "scanning" color neg with a DSLR. It is just too difficult and time-consuming to color correct manually. Hamrick's s/w has a very good set of...
Darr,
I'm joining the parade of last-minute finishers. My prints will be in the post today.

I hope we're not just inflating Walter's ego, but I also really like this picture. The selective focus follows the path and walkers, and seems perfectly suited to the subject, light and composition....
Yeah, pretty much my thinking also. Here's an example of the manual approach:

Not very automated. Also, skin tones...
For b/w this seems straightforward. How will you handle inversion for color negs (orange cast removal, color cross-over, etc)?
I'll second Frank's recommendation of the Sinar pan-tilt head. First, it was designed for the task, and second, it's reasonably compact. Works beautifully in balance with your Norma.
My color workflow doesn't actually appear in your list:
Color: Lab develops, I scan, lab prints. This is most cost effective for me for C-41 4x5/8x10.
B&W: I develop, I scan, lab prints.

Cheefully and unwittingly contributing my self-evaluated gear-obsessed amateur junk.

Matt,
Who supplies SunShades? Can you post a link?
-Mick
Please add me.
"...I'm a man of wealth and taste."
Welcome!
I'm keeping Frank's Sinar 8x10 Norma. I swear...
Gotta agree with Michael. If Steve has put in the time and effort to organize this event, then one assumes he has considered conflicts that might matter to him. In this case, it appears that...
Well, dede95064 has some questions that have puzzled me as well.
I like the Epson software because it is easy to crop the initial scan. I turn off automatic image adjustment, set the white and...
Ahh, my bad. That's what I get for looking at the pictures and skimming over the text.
Used to get me in trouble when I was young, also.
I love the photo that you took.
-Mick
Daniel,
Cool photo, but how did you manage to shave in 2 seconds ? :confused:
-Mick
Hi Brian,
Sometimes email/postings convey the wrong tone, and I meant to compliment Frank, not snipe at you. My apologies.
BTW, your posting led me to your web site, which is filled with...
Hmm, I think Frank got exactly what he was looking for. The silhouette focuses my eye on the subject and the hint of detail in the shadow keeps my interest.
Nicely done.
-Mick
John,
What exactly are we looking at here?
-Mick
Ash,
These are terrific. You've got very photogenic friends. Umm, did you by any chance print them reversed? Either the t-shirt lettering on #3 is backwards, or I'm sinking into dyslexia.
...
I won't laugh...been there, done that.
Look for a bulge under the leatherette covering on the top of the camera. This is usually right in the center, in front of the rangefinder if you have a...
Michael,
Some more items that might help determine value:
1. Is it a Commercial View or a Universal View? The Commercial has a longer bellows draw.
2. What is the condition of the bellows? ...
Hi Marko,
Colin is right, your posting didn't contain the image for a while so I made a lame attempt at humor.
Your shot is lovely, and has very good tones on my monitor. I've never used...
