  1. Re: Viewfinder retrofit 4 view camera: feasible or fool's errand?

    Went to local shops to find a piece of threaded rod and although they have wood screws for this i.e., points on both sides with coarse threads for wood the type of threads for our cameras is not...

    Hello Folks and thankyou for your informed comments.
    Yes Len, a store downtown had used ones and preliminary experiments with the Linhof-type viewer (physically holding the finder on and...

    Re: Color photography with black and white film

    I haven't a clue whether or not this is a consideration but after 18 pages (which I haven't read totally) it might be so here goes: has anyone with savvy given thought xray films offered in green...
  5. Re: New user having trouble focusing his Durst S45

    I'm all sorted out on this issue now that I purchased the correct mount for the lens that came with the enlarger (and cutting a hole in the ceiling for it). The seller must have neglected to toss...

    Scratch that last question because if you do what Ic-racer suggested and view the L138S-1000 manual at url http://www.jensen-optical.us/PDF_FILES_TANK/L138SP-%20CLS1000%20Manual.pdf it all becomes...

  11. Re: New user having trouble focusing his Durst S45

    Thank you Lin for two important tips. If someone can't help me scrounge up a S45 manual perhaps the L138S will foot the bill for me? Your comment about the Laratub(e) is what I was concerned about...
  12. Re: New user having trouble focusing his Durst S45

    Good gosh you are right. I removed the 210 G-Claron and hand held my old 1:5.6/150 Componon. I was able to focus on an area about 8x10in at waist height. Sadly, this Componon doesn't fit in the...
  13. Re: New user having trouble focusing his Durst S45

    Thank you Don. Having touched one for the first time I can see they were built rugged to preserve a tight tolerance. However, I can't see condesors giving grief in this case because the owner had no...
  14. Re: New user having trouble focusing his Durst S45

    Perhaps I wasn't clear. Durst owners: is there a model that is so close in comparison that I could substitute one listed at http://www.durst-pro-usa.com/library.html for my new S45's manual?
  15. New user having trouble focusing his Durst S45

  16. Re: Yellowstone - Best Time, Places To Stay, Etc.

  19. Re: Canham Trad 5x7 6x17 back unique or generic?

    Unfortunately the bulk order of 5x7 did not come as promised by Fuji this past April. Yesterday I bought 20 rolls of film, most of it Ektar 100, and will take the Hasselblad's 50 and 250mm lenses...
  20. Re: Zephyr to Yellowstone: To Stitch or Crop? That is the question.

    So let's say I take the reducing back. Has anyone ever put a DaYi or some other manufacturer's 6x17 back on the the canham 4x5 reducing back?
    It's beginning to dawn on me that shooting 4x5 and...
  24. Re: Canham Trad 5x7 6x17 back unique or generic?

    Great stuff: "some of these backs can mechanically vignette long FLs and don't allow the use of short lenses due to the film plane being moved back from its normal location." Who could have known...

    Igor, you foooool! Everyone knows that you should have bought a 5x7 but are just too polite to kick you when you'rr down.

  29. Re: Canham Traditional 6x17 back unique or generic?

    How can one thank you for such time expended on our (my) behalf? This is going to be a tough chestnut; given the benefit of your shared experiences both seem up to the job. It's a comfort to know now...
  30. Re: Canham Traditional 6x17 back unique or generic?

    The news on this end was well received because you shared experience(s) that would not have occurred to me. I missed Ed Brock's offering a few weeks ago and just after his yet another on deebay. Cost...
  31. How to scan a real dense negative (Epson 750)

    Hi,
    Am the new owner of an Epson 750 and am happy with this upgrade from my REAL old scanner. I exposed some 5x7 Tmax and got a couple negatives that were (i'm guessing) 2 stops overexposed. These...
  32. Canham Traditional 6x17 back unique or generic?

    Substitute CD-3 for CD-4?

    Why do some E6 formula call for CD-4 and others CD-3. (I understand the earlier reversal processes used nastier chemicals but this 3 vs 4 puzzles me)

  36. Re: Citrizinic Acid of Alt E6 process: Where has it all gone?

    One must be cautious Ian, and do not go nuts with Aldritch. Even with a Ed-discount the cost of "ACS" grade or "USP" grade will preclude any savings mixing your own. You would only be left with the...
