You start a clique if you want to. I'm just stating the obvious which seems to have escaped you.

If you are really that worried you would get all your negs drum scanned now by one of the cheap asian outfits before their prices go up. If you ain't really worried and are willing to wait 10-20...

Wouldn't it be ironic if they end up with just their film making plant after what Perez said about film being dead. That would make him the plonker of the century I rekon.

Some of the Kentmere products had to go (or be changed) because of EU chemical use restrictions. Cadmium being one of them but I think there were others.

Infact the EU rules on cadmium are so...

Ilford bought out Kentmere to gain Kentmeres distribution setup in the US. Most of the old Kentmere papers have disappeared since they did that. The same would happen if Ilford bought kodak. They...

A few months back the BBC interviewed an ex Kodak chief executive. I forget who but his opinion was that Kodak should sell off all the financially viable parts of the business while it was able to....

Ilford only got a lease of 20 years on their manufacturing plant when the management buyout took place. There is no guarantee that lease will be renewed. So it might make a lot of sense for them to...

I heard that quite a few photo film/paper makers don't make their own gelatin. They by the gelatin in and mix the silver halides with it. Kodak didn't sell off the film making plant but just their...

I'm waiting to see if Ilford tries to buy the film making plant. That would be interesting.

See post #2 of this thread and then post #1 of this thread for the source and direct your complaints there.

here's a question for the OP.

How many prints have you sold to people you didn't know personally?

get a Leica M9 with a Zeiss zm 2/35. There is no distortion.

OK rent or buy a better scanning back for your 4x5 camera. Mount your best 4x5 enlarging lens on your 4x5 and photograph you negs from a very bright light table in one go. I think the graphics repro...

Now let me see. We like to use film because of all the detail we can capture. And we like the grain in film. So now we are going to photograph the film with a digital camera which we don't like...

will it work on an IPhone?

and there was me thinking that IE9 was supposed to be the first truly standards compatible browser.
Compatibility really has nothing to do with it. Software developers could have written software...

also note that your lens design affects the depth of field and depth of focus values. A quick check suggests to me that your lens may be a double gauss type in which case the depth of focus figures...

yes that too but he will never be sure unless he measures it himself before sending it to be adjusted (if he does).

Let us know how it works out in the end and whether you had the GG moved or not.

the link for the pre-designer software is:

http://www.winlens.de/index.php?id=70

it will give you some idea of the tolerances you are working too.

Here are 3 sets of figures. one each 54in, 75in and 150in.
All based on CoC of 0.1mm.

Check the depth of focus and depth of field figures. Methinks that what you are seeing in your tests are such...

I think you are asking the wrong question. You should be asking yourself why anyone would buy anyone elses print/s. Why would you buy someone elses prints and is it reasonable to assume that someone...

just build a simple light trap entrance and put a black curtain over the inner or outer gap or both. The curtain can touch the floor. Paint it black. Totally light proof and no messing with getting...

I think you mean that this version of VBulletin is showing some incompatibilties with some of the more popular browsers.

IE9 64bit version on windows 7

In theory yes. In the real world maybe. Depends if you buy new or used. If used there's no telling until you try everything out to see if people have been fiddling with things or replacing front or...

Most of these bulletin boards use database query cacheing to take the load off the database server which would otherwise get hammered from constant requests for the same data. I rekon its performance...

So it now appears in the unified view so guessing again I'm thinking the query cache updates itself after an hour.

sometimes but not all the time unified view says no results and the same for "todays posts" under quick links.

Also I just made a post which doesn't show under unified view but it does show under...

some really good work. Not LF but worth viewing IMO.

The Contax RTS III had a vacuum film pressure plate too.
I'm not sure that the depth of focus and depth of field are sufficient when using wide apertures to stop a noticeable shift in the focus...

If you have one then yes. And also to check the film holder with a sheet of film in it to make the comparison. As has already been pointed out by someone.

You're on. 0.008in or 0.2mm is easily the amount the film can move forward or backward in the film holder. Sinar used to make some metal 4x5 film holders which tensioned the film so you could be sure...

Well Linhof have been assembling and testing these things for a long time. That doesn't mean they don't make mistakes but I rekon it would be very rare which is why I suspect a Loupe focussing...

I would take that loupe in its taped fix position and put a tranny on a light box, place on top of tranny touching it and see if its in focus cos if it is then then loupe is not focussed where it...

The same as the Author who suggested the photographer had a wonderful camera. The photographer replied I love your books, you must have a wonderful typewriter.

When you are out in the field it simply isn't practical to start moving lenses between shutters and lens boards.
Mostly people have a lens pre-mounted on a shutter which is pre-mounted in a lens...

I wouldn't touch the adjustment of the GG unless you are 100% sure that is where the problem is. Large Format photographers have a high propensity for trying to fix things that ain't broke. Possibly...

Another potential problem is the film holders. Some makes don't conform to the standard, namely Toyo when I tested some new ones that I bought. There was a significant difference to the fidelity...

But if it doesn't have a focus adjustment then it will likely be focussed to whatever it is resting on and not the two or three milimiters further away to compensate for the thickness of glass....
