Looks like you'll get further having people over to setup your own microbrewery and just relegating yourself to contact prints from a bare bulb in the bathroom.. ;)

I live here.
Always wanted to get in, but never bothered to research it out. There's a couple of different portions of the Steel, and the most iconic part, the blast furnances, are still standing....
Ilford and Kodak both print their notches on the back of the box. I bet Fuji does, too.
Yeah, its obvious, but sometimes people look past the easiest answers...
Huh, you guys must be channelling Hercules, coz when I'm lugging an 8x10, my only option is an airweight j frame.. :)
gfen, with nothing useful to add.
For a dark cloth, I bought some cheap piece of rubberized fabric from somewhere and then sewed some elastic around one end so I can wrap it tight around my 8x10, and then a line of velcro down the...
"was it the tin-foil hat...? ;-)"
No, they make me take that off and hand inspect it to make sure I can't origami it into a deadly ninja throwing star and hold the plane hostage.
Them TSA'rs,...
I use the smallest wattage lightbulb I can screw into a regular sized fixture. I apologize for not remembering hte wattage, but I haven't changed it in quite a few years. I think its about 8watts?...
"The Mall in Washington D.C. is also off limits without a permit from the Capitol Police or the Parks Police. Last time I got one (about 6 years ago) the office was in the Capitol Building. "

I didn't think it was the film, after all silver is non-ferrous...it wasn't til afterwards that I thought the steel ring might've done it.
As for the pouch, well.. there's another fine idea and...
So, I recently went on a trip to Costa Rica, and on the way back decided to get crafty.
Rather than trust my benevolent TSA friends, I decided I'd try to sneak some film past 'em. I'm a big guy,...
I've never seen roll film at any of those locations, however, I can say that roll film is starting to disappear from the "mainstream" camera stores, and I've never noticed sheet film at those...
Eric: For whatever reason, popular support seems to rally behind the Epson products. Being that I'm already clueless in this field, I think I'm going to stick with the unofficial leader, for now.

Kevin,
Could you give some more details? I didn't have a chance to do anything last night (Valentine's Day with the new wife, she took priority over a 50yo shutter, heh) and at work now, so I...
Why? Because for too long I've been dependant on one step that I had no control over. It was the one portion where I no longer had the capability to handle it on my own.
Although, on re-reading my...
I feel like this shouldn't be a question I need to ask, yet, I don't see anything else current in the category... As I've been out of practice for well over a year, I'd like to start getting back...
Well, the shutter and aperature blades all LOOK like they're metal, but then so do they all to me.
However, I'm fairly positive these are some variation of steel juding from the way they've got...
Despite the length of the first post, I didn't really make it clear that I'd much rather pay to have someone properly repair the shutters, but my financial situation combined with the three weeks...
Hi there,
I have an Acme-Ilex #3 shutter in which is mounted a 7.5" Kodak Commercial Ektar. I'm trying to decide if there's anything I can do at home to help my shutter along a little bit.

I have a B&J 8x10 Commercial View, and it does fold somewhat, however, having never seen a Deardorff I don't know if its as compact. On the B&H, the extension rail comes off, the front rail folds up,...
I've been using computers for about 20 years now. That's not so long as some, but in that time frame I've done it all from pure recreation to self-taught nerdy to an actual job as a sysadmin. I've...
"provide subscribers a reasonable way to access it."
I agree, I wish he would put some login credentials on the magazine he mails me every oth..wait..nevermind.
I've never looked at it either,...
Keeps me off the streets, outta trouble, and a steady influx of my capital helping keep the self-employed eBay professionals in business.
I haven't quite got it worked out well enough to make up...
I'm an infrequent flyer.. ;)
Nevermind my post, then...
Browsing through the Interwebs, I ended up on FNC's website and saw this:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,181485,00.html
They're dumping all their film line but some of the pro gear, and...
They're both nice, but #1 is on the tripod, so looks more complete.
I do have a Berlebach, but I don't remember the model number either (Report 3032? 3082? 3042?, two section, no center post, integral ball head).
I think its great. The legs are rock solid with a...
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Where its beautifully sunny, gorgeously temperate, a week of fluffy white clouds and still full green trees, perfect weather to go take a hike in and maybe take a photo.
...
+1 for Warren's Burke and James. ;)
Surplus large ALICE bag with the steel frame.
Its not fancy, but it was cheap and holds my B&J 8x10, a pile of film holders, and all the other bits and pieces. Tripod lashes onto the frame.
...
I'm happy with Tri-X in 8x10..
Bargin of last year, Mark. ;)
Someone kicked the dust off this thread to bring up their Orbit 215/5.6.
For his information, I've been surprisingly happy with my Orbin 300/5.6, outside of its...
I have the 3032 to which I mount an ungainly, heavy Burke and James Commercial View to.
I completely and totally trust in its weight capacity, and don't use the chain to hold the legs when I'm...
I believe there was one by Graflex, as well.
Where do I find a girlfriend who'll strap my 8x10 to her back, I can't even get mine to carry my tripod.
That said, I agree with the earlier posters.. You need to move into making your own contact...
I haven't paid attention to prices and equipment for some time, I've bought up what I needed and since then have only put money out for materials... That said, I watched the price of my 645 equipment...
Actually, on first perusal, I like it.
-shrug-
I'll chime in with an answer several others have suggested: Elastic.
I'll go one step further: Elastic _and_ velcro!
I took the cheapest, most generic darkcloth (which was just a sheet of...
There was a 35mm back for press cameras, likely made by Graflex, but I might be making that last bit up. :)
You know, I've never tried with my 2x3, primarily because as you see by the thread, I wasn't sure if I even wanted it.
Are you sure you're trying to drop the bed correctly, I know I'd have never...
Keh.com has a form to let you request trade-in value on equipment to then.
That and searching Ebay's completed auctions..
