Do a search for “darkroom paper safe”, there is a nice Brumberger available for $90
In my experience, the cabinet style metal safe with multiple shelves and a spring loaded front door is much nicer to use than the two-piece plastic style with the plastic hinge on the short side that...
Woodcraft or Rockler woodworking stores have them in metal
I used mine with the bag bellows and a 75mm. You have to move the tripod mounting block behind the lens standards (it is normally between them).
I would suggest that a 90mm might be a better starting point if you are looking to make images like the ones you posted, they look fairly wide. A 90mm is the workhorse lens for architectural work. It...
I use my Zone IV head in split exposure mode. I expose the green and the blue lights separately, using the length of the exposure for each to vary the contrast. I did this partly because the...
You could look at the older photographers that are part of the ESTO group started by Ezra Stoller, they have a great website! Yukio Futagawa photographed across the globe and published his images in...
I have both lenses. I haven't used them a ton, but the Fujinon is sharper than the Angulon. I have both because the Fujinon is a modest wide angle and I wanted something wider for architectural work....
Yes, the later versions were multicoated. I use mine in a Wista SP, it fits easily (they are quite small). See
Kerry Thalmann's page for more info:

You should look into a Fujinon W 125mm 5.6. There are a couple of versions with differing coverages and filter sizes, but all cover 4x5 with movements and are quite modest in size. They generally...

I'm not getting this either. The sample shot is a three point perspective that has not been corrected to eliminate keystoning, although camera movements may have been used to reduce the...
I have made a couple of these adapters. I used brass strips for the slide lock, drilling two round holes at 45 degrees and using a jeweler's file to turn the openings into slots. Small brass screws...
I did it to my older Deardorff using a set of parts from Barry. This was probably three years ago, can't speak to his current reliability. I remember it being reasonably easy to swap out with the...
We have lost another giant in the profession of architectural photography:

He was an amazing...
That was what friends called him. Also how he introduced himself informally.
He was a great photographer, but also a great man. I will miss his incredible artistic spirit. He deserves a really comprehensive monograph!
Well, I finally have both books in hand. My impressions:
The Korab book is a modest biographical article combined with a photo monograph. I wish the biography were more detailed and complete- it...
Merg,
I agree with you about Shulman. He was the second architectural photographer I became aware of in the late 70s. The first was Korab, because I worked for an architectural firm that had his B&W...
Two new books are available for those interested in architectural photography:
Balthazar Korab: Architect of Photography
Ezra Stoller Photographer
These are both biographies with images. I...
Frank,
Got it. I thought all I7 processors were quad cores.
"The problem is that the two non-server models have the slower dual-core i5 processors versus the server having a quad-core i7".
Frank, I hate to tell you this after all your troubles, but the...
Margaret Bourke-White, Fay Godwin.
Somewhere along the line, Sinar made the F rise/fall rods longer. I believe the original F has the short rods, which still provide plenty of rise, but can make for a more compact package, especially...
Ken,
For what it's worth, I have found that the leveling bubbles on the Manfrotto tripods and heads are not very accurate. The will get you closer than eyeballing it, but they can't be relied on for...
It is the county morgue. I shot the space early in the morning, before they bring the bodies out. After I got the empty shot, I hung around for the posted shot with one visible body. They typically...
Medical Examiner's Office- Autopsy Suite. Sinar F-2 with the 90mm on Fuji NPS.
You are focused on infinity?
Darin,
Similar to my thinking (see my previous post), but for architecture a bag bellows would be a good idea. I don't believe that the Toyo field cameras take a bag, the Wista and some wood field...
For what it's worth, I had the same issue with the transportation of my F-2, along with several lenses mounted the large Sinar boards. My solution was to keep the F-2 for assignments and situations...
I am getting ready to buy a 700. The 900 should be announced a week or so after I order!
Rockler Woodworking carries leather strap handles for about $10.

For those that have a Nook Color reader, a Nook version is available for $69.95- I wish it was less expensive! I downloaded the sample, which includes the first 119 pages of the Nook version- the...
In Detroit:

Excellent quality, great printers (ink jet and traditional), still doing film of sizes E-6, C-41 & B&W. 4x5 processing is $2.50/sheet and they do a great...
Steve- how about a hardbound book edition?
Brushing Lacquer (Deft or Behlen's) over minwax oil stain. Lacquer is what most camera makers would have been using in the mid 1900s (Shellac is another possibility, especially for cameras from the...
If you like architecture, see the Salk Institute in LaJolla.
I am intrigued by the Keys. How long of a drive from downtown Miami to Key West and is it worth the trip? Any interesting new architecture in the area?
I will be in Miami for a week later this month. Does anyone have suggestions for visually interesting location in the general area?
I would be interested in joining you.
