You may want to check out this thread in the photo.net forum for some reasons that ColorSync make a mac worthwhile.

I would stick with a desktop system given the choice, but leaving the Mac...

I'd be extremely interested in both reading and contributing to travel reports. I'm also very interested in the idea of objective surveys and reviews.

Great ideas.

To me, the availability of Quick/Ready-load format isn't a reason in itself to use a film. It's just a nice option for films I already like to use. If you could have the B&W emulsion of your choice...

I've been using a lithium (Eveready, with the red end cap - sorry, don'thave the exact model num,ber handy) for about a year with no ill effects. My exposures seem acurate, even in subfreezing...

Don't forget the poor man's ND Grad - dodging and burning in camera!

Ross Said:Has anyone experienced the following with a Pentax Digital Spot : On some readings, not always the same, the LEDs begin to flash periodically and rapidly, about 5-7 times per second. The ...

I'm about to leave for a seven-day backpacking trip with a fairly new Gregory Palisade backpack. My Wisner , light meter, anda couple of lenses fit snugly in the bottom 'sleeping bag' pocket.

I've got a similar question/dilemma coming up. doing a 50+ mile hike over a week at Evolution basin and I'm trying to decide how to split my Velvia/Tmax budget.

I'd never thought of this before...perhaps it was a bit myopic of me (ha ha).

I can 'close focus' my eyes to about two-and-a-half inches in stereo. Luckily...

I'm 28, and don't have corrected vision. I make sharp photographs without focussing aids like loupes regularly. I haven't had my vision tested in the past ten years, but I have been known to freak...

O.K., just got out of the darkroom, where I tried a couple of things. FYI, my enlarging lens is a 150mm Schneider Componon-S.

Here. I've quite a few new things that aren't up there, as I don't own a scanner.

This might seem like a dumb question, but I'm honestly a bit stymied.

I've been shooting large format for just under three years now, first with a Cro wn Graphic and now with a Wisner Traditional...

HOW DOES PHOTOGRAPHY WORK?

It doesn't. At least, not when you need it to.

Aw, gee, that makes me feel great. Thanks for the compliment, Darron.

In my personal experience, this Caltar has probably been the best deal I've ever gotten from Calumet. It is still available...

Kodak emulsions/enveloped will not work in the Fuji holder. Fuji quickload envelopes can be used carefully and sucessfully with the Kodak holder. My experience and rationale for my choice of holder...

Kevin:

First of all, pros shooting for Nat'l Geo shoot 35mm, and those canisters are easier to hand-inspect at the carry-on baggage station. You are shoting large format. Put yourself in the...

While I haven't had considerable experience with ReadyLoads yet, I've done some testing, and I find that many of the complaints out there regarding the system may be traced back to unclear...

Err on the side of caution. I know budgets these days are tight, but get a new holder, or temporarily repair the holder with gaffer's tape. In my experience, if light is shining through any part of...
