First, let me say that Dave Richart's response is right on the money! I feel about "Arches" as you do about half dome...give me a break. I loved it, well said, sir! As to the question posed, I...

I get the blue tone and I like it. No point rockin' that boat. :-) Besides I could never get amidol to work for me. I am sure it was something I was doing wrong but I didn't really want to take the...

I was just wondering if anyone else on this newsgroup would be attending the Col e Weston Workshop in October?

Because I also wear and analog watch, drive an old Volvo, work on computers all day, etc. I salute you! We may be dinosaurs but look at all the attention a T-Rex gets these days. Maybe there is...

I also vote for standard backpacks. I have a Lowe Alpine internal frame backpack with 6000 Cubic inches of storage. This is made by the same company who makes the LowePro photo packs. I added my ...

With all due respect to the previous responses I will part company with them and say the I prefer Kodak E100S or even Fuji Astia. I think it has everything to do with how we, as individuals,...

Andy, Another great advantage to long exposures is the removal of unwanted, pesky moving objects like... people! 2 weeks ago I was shooting in the Hocking Hills region of Ohio. I metered off of the...

Might as well jump on this bandwagon. I agree with the thumbs down to Delta 100. I initially used this film (8x10) with Pyro developer and had satisfactory results. When I finally got ahold of some...

Anothe vote for Tachihara from me! I had the opportunity to set up a Tach, a Wisner, and a Wista and the Tach was the most stable of the three. I also think the joinery is far superior.

I am new to palladium printing and have read the book by Dick Arentz as well as a few other resources. The one thing I am having trouble with is exposure. Every thing I have read says I should see a...

I had a notion that I could make a pinhole "lens" for my 8x10 camera. Does anyon e have any experience with this or recommendations that would save me a lot of h eadaches. Also, what are the...

To be honest, I did not care for PlusX in PMK at all. I haven't used a Kodak film yet that I liked the results of in PMK. Maybe if you have some HC-110 lying around you would be better off, IMHO.

On a less technical note, I have a Goertz Gold Rim Dagor (12") and I love it! Sharp as the sharpest tack you can find! Handles color and black and white like a champ. You can have it when you pry...

I am curious to know what measures people have had to go to in order to eliminat e dust from negatives when printing. This is a constant battle for me and it isn 't helped by my perfectionist nature....

Not to be a smart aleck but have you tried a de-humidifier?

With regards to the Orbit 8x10, it is my understanding that the f/64 case will only hold 4x5 film holders. For my Tachihara 8x10 I went with a Lowe Alpine Contour Classic 90+15 internal frame back...

Can anyone tell me if the shutter speeds on the Ilex #4 shutters are stepped acc ording to the indicated times or are they contiguous. In other words, can I set an approximate shutter speed between...

While I have my theories on why this happened I wanted to pass on something that happened to me the first time I tried tray developing 8x10. First, that film is darned slippery when you have 2 or...

Can anyone tell me how many sheets of 8x10 film I can expect to process in a 1 l iter solution of PMK pyro (tray developing) before it is exhausted? I am reasona bly sure that I have some oomph left...

Further information: I have tried Series VII (too small), Series VIII (too big), and 58mm (hair too big), and 55mm (too small).

I am relatively new to large format and recently purchased a 12" f/6.8 Goerz Gol d Rim Dagor mounted in #4 Ilex shutter. The problem I have run into is determini ng the filter size for this lens....
