I purchased a Wisner Expedition from Fred Newman in October 1996. Perfect in every way! More than 8 years later still as good as new (smooth and easy to use, all the metal work as shiny as ever). ...

Ceteris paribus, my average is 25 minutes on my 8x10.

I love taking photos during winter here in Stockholm, Sweden. Never been minus 40 celsius but I have gone out at minus 26 celsius. I use a Wisner 8x10 Expedition and lenses in Copal 3 shutters. I...

Ramin, that shot was recorded on Efke PL100 8x10 inch film rated 100.

John,
I have spent most of last winter experimenting with Don Miller's rule of thumb for capturing snow texture and it has now become mine as well.
Bright, sunny conditions (sunlight on snow):...
Yup finally, a self portrait.

Quimby,
I only contact print so an 8x10 is an absolute must for me. I am younger than you but that is not the reason why I hike with my pack 5 times a week. This year alone I have exposed over...

Apologies for the double posting.
John, I only use two films, Efke PL100 being one of them and also being my primary film. I use it with Pyrocat HD and develop in tubes using minimal agitation (see the AZO forum on more about this...

I have the Super Trekker AWII - huge bag but more comfortable than my previous one, the f64 8x10 pack. In the main compartment is my Wisner 8x10 Expedition, 355 G-Claron always (plus one other lens,...
I don't think it is huge thus a 210 Process Nikkor will cover 8x10 with loads of movement. Probably the sharpest 210 for 8x10 around.

John,
All 3 films exhibit the same brown stain typical of Pyrocat HD negs (in varying degrees of course). New Fortepan 400 is in my experience NOT HP5+. If choosing between the two, Fortepan 400...
Hi John,
My experience in using HP5+, "New" Classic 400 and Fortepan 400 is that they are three different films. "Old" Classic 400 behaved similarly to Fortepan 400. My preference out of the...
"To which do you refer, and better in what way(s)?"
Efke PL100 versus FP4 and Classic 400 versus HP5. I have used FP4 and HP5 and they cannot contract as much as Efke and Classic respectively. ...
This is hardly a surprise. The surprise is that it took some years for this eventual bankruptcy to happen. The company could not change with the times in a timely fashion and the market is a...
About contests and entry fees: WHY? Of course there are overheads in any organised event but to pass it on to the participants just makes winning the event bittersweet. Unless of course there is...
I agree David. The pyro negs that can be scanned satisfactorily must be "thin" negatives because it is virtually impossible for me to get anything when scanning the pyro negs I make for AZO contact...
I wonder, because of the short time period in between both articles, whether Monsieur Bond had read the threads here and in APUG to do better this time. Still amazes me that the first one was...
I used to shoot with a myriad of B&W films, TP included. Now I only shoot with 2, TP excluded, neither of them are made by Kodak. Good riddance to Kodak. They will rue the day they decide to get...
I have developed Efke PL100 using Pyrocat HD in scenes where the SBR = 14 (N-7 in Zone speak) and the tonal (highlight and shadow)l separation is flawless. These negatives were destined for contact...
8x10: 1) 355 G-Claron, 2) 355 G-Claron and 240 Apo-Symmar. Only own and ever used these two lenses.

I shoot only 8x10 (I do not own any other camera) and it is heavy to lug around but I do it almost 5 times a week. It is fun to set up and the results are worth occasional back and neck pains (cured...
Good riddance to Kodak!!! More power to J and C, Efke, etc. Thank you for seeing the light - be the vinyl to Kodak's compact disk.

AZO paper. Thanks MS and PC. The final frontier - a completely analog contact print.

Has anyone used this lens for 8x10 work? How much movements were you able to get out of it? Many thanks in advance.
Steve, have you ever tried roller drum or better yet manal tube processing of sheet film 8x10 or larger? I cannot do 6-8 sheets of 8x10 at a time but I can certainly do 4 (with 4 different times)...
One thing I am interested in is Ebony's all-weather focusing cloth. I am sure it will not be inexpensive but the design looks sound for those bad weather days or when caught out by the rain. Check...
