Strange behavior occasionally does happen on eBay. Occasionally there is the 'winner's curse'; then, as noted above, there is the occasional mysterious bidder with a slim record but eagerness to pump...
The neg does not fit in the 4x5 holder. I don't want to cut it, because I enjoy the 'frame' of the negative. The neg curves quite a bit when it's placed straight on the glass, as the base is...
Frankly, I skipped over most of the thread, so maybe it was mentioned already... My question is: where can I learn about BTZS (website, book)?
Thanks.
Agree w/ Steve. Get to know one and stick with it.
Disagree w/ the concern about Tmax's 'fussiness'. If you can read a thermometer and a timer/watch you can develop TMax -- follow manufacturer's...
I started with Simmons' book, then complemented with Strobel. Bought the first, borrowed the second from the library.
Yeah, and the two articles on digital LF were good, too. Keep it up!
I have used for 3 years a Gitzo 1227 CF with Arca B1. It is stable enough so that the weak link in the chain is the wood field camera itself.
Maybe it's a good idea to label items checked in. On domestic flights I had my checked-in luggage opened every time it contained a tripod -- Gitzo 1227 and a separate Arca B-1 ballhead. These are too...
Is there a way to incorporate single pass multisampling into Vuescan?
Ed:
In Vuescan preview, press Ctrl and move the cursor over the image. The status bar will display densities on the right side.
Noncalibrated, values are:
0.06-0.22-0.38-0.55-0.71-0.86-1.02-1.22-1.38-1.54-1.74-1.9-2.02-2.2-2.34-2.48-2.7-2.78-2.9-3.1-3.4
So the differences (steps) come out to be: ...
Yep. (I must fill in at least 8 characters for my reply to go through)
Ho Pei:
I am by far not an expert on this subject, but I know that there are lenses (called 'convertibles') which have different focal lengths if you selectively uses the front or back element or...
1. TMX100 in D76 1:3
2. Trix320
3. Maco IR 820c
1. Epson 4870 (not Professional), Adobe PS CS upgrade, RAM, RAID.
2. Expired B&W film (Maco IR).
3. Rented various lenses (5-6 times, generally one lens each time ) from local store.

How many are using it on a Tachihara? Thanks.
Henry: Regarding the circle of coverage of the 135mm lens, this picture (see the bottom corners) illustrates the limitation. In addition to tilts, I used a drop. I don't recall the specific tilts,...
Thanks, Eugene for the tips. My main concern was that whatever trick one uses to focus with wide angle lenses (recessed board vs disengagement from sliders), the absence of bag bellows limit...
Henry,
I am very much a beginner LF photographer, and also use the Tachi with a 135 mm lens (Rodenstock). With tilts or swings of the front standards, it's easy to reach the limits of coverage...
I use a CombiPlan tank and prewet (not soak!) films mainly to reduce the chance of air bubbles forming during development. As such, I drain the water after 10-20 s (just like the previous poster). ...
John:
Forte is actually Hungarian, not Czech.
Have only used it in 4x5 sheet, but there indeed seems to be some unevenness in quality. Some sheets have stippling on them (white dots) that I have not noticed on TMax developed by me the same day...
Ramin:
I must admit that I missed the part with the heavy weights in the pdf, although I read it upon purchase of the film. Have noticed that the film base is a bit slippery, so that the dedicated...
Addendum to step 3 above. I soak the film in tap water for ~1 min before development (see Eirik Berger's post above).
Sorry to hear some of you had an unfavorable experience w/ Maco IR. I have bought a few weeks ago a box of the expired sheet (4x5) film described immediately above this post by Andre. I am a novice...
Palo Alto, beginner (~1 year) LF. So far have done B&W only, in 4x5. Family commitment limits availability, but am interested. Email me. Cheers,
Thank you all for your replies! Contributors like you guys make this forums worth coming back to!
Will be visiting New Mexico next week, and noticed references about its rich railroad history in the general travel guides I've been reading. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions about places...
QTL and Graeme:
Thank you both for your replies. I am considering buying a 4"x5" flatbed. Dust removal is a must; the second criterion is to have a "good" image "quality" (allowing for wide ranges...
Thank you, Graeme.
I have scanned hundreds of 35 mm slides on a non-ICE dedicated slide scanner and definitely do not want to clean dust from 4"x5" scans in Photoshop. And why should anyone, if...
OK guys, which are then the 4"x5" scanners capable of digital ICE dust removal from the film? Whether they do dust removal of the reflective image or not is of little use for large format...
If there is an IKEA store nearby, drop in and grab a couple of their (millimetric) rulers, of paper with some coating that makes them a bit more durable. Other stores may have equivalent rulers.
Thank you for your reply.
Have ordered a full setup (Tachihara field camera, lens, film holders, dark cloth, Arca Swiss plate, loupe) from Badger last Dec, and was very satisfied with the service Jeff provided. Would (will)...
I got mine from B&H. They seem to have the best price and have a well established reputation.
Hogarth:
I was actually looking for a backpacking system for my relatively small 4x5 setup: small wood field camera (Tachihara) with two lenses, 6 holders, loupe (and other odds and ends), and...
Nice example of Gallic gall. Our friend is quick to label as "stupid" a restriction that inconveniences him, without noticing that the inability of vendors in his own country to provide him with this...
Hope you'll have a good time. I have lived in Budapest for 6 years in the early 90's, and have visited again after a 6 year-absence last August. Budapest is a very charming city with eclectic...
Does anyone know if T-Max 100 sheet film can be processed in D76 1:1?The Kodak info mentions 1:1 dilution for roll film and small tanks, but does not list 1:1 among the recommended developers with...
