Was talking to a friend… last week when I swapped bulbs I didn’t wear gloves. He thinks the bulb blew from my oil. Valid or not?

I've had the same bulb installed for 6 years, it finally blew... replaced it with a bulb from freestyle and 5 days later the bulb blew. At this point I am unsure if the socket is faulty and I...
Teaching at the college level is an insane grind. You’ll likely end up as an adjunct making 3500 a course without benefits. It’s a single person game because you have to be willing to move at the...
There’s a couple major crapshoots (and downfalls to the MFA specifically).
1.) there is no technical anything, that’s supposed to be covered in BFA programs.
2.) you pick schools based on who you...
Agree… essentially, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. The conversation around value : worth is so subjective and based on individual experiences.
Frankly, the MFA is a giant crap shoot and...
The two black cases are F64 4x5 film holder cases, hold 5 each. Yellow wrap is a lens. Red wrap is the 4x5 camera.
In an unseen pocket above I have a Tenba pouch for my meter and cables.

I’ll offer my two cents and maybe a few more nickels or dimes… I hold an MFA.
The funded deals aren’t really funded, you end up teaching in year 3 for free so I guess it’s “funded”. You’ll also...

Don’t pay the Photo Tax. Photo bags quite frankly suck, are overpriced , and under built.
Look up a Mystery Ranch 3 Day Assault Pack. American made, essentially bombproof. If seals trust them...

Designed something simple to hold two lee filters. Working through a few versions but getting closer. Similar to what 20th century offers but it’s like 6 bucks in material vs 200.

Looking to CLA a TOYO 45a and am curious if anyone has any shop recommendations.

Good box of 45

Will do tomorrow when I’m back in the lab. I have four boxes of 45, one 810, and one 1114. It’s more experimental for students (I run a HS photo program) but at that price I can just shoot sheet...
It’s a whole mess of bad product… I have a solid darkroom, huge 18-20 ft ceilings. Safe light has never been an issue with anything, ever.
1.) I handled all the paper the same. Each box of paper...

Having issues here folks...
I have several boxes of 4x5, shot at similar exposures using Sprint Dev (1:9) at 3 mins dev and they are fine, pure black rebates from holder/camera.

I liked the H for its quickness, right out of the bag... set her up, lets go! Honestly, I sold mine and I regret it... one of those "we need some cash, asap" situations. Otherwise, it would still...
Hence no reason to pay the photo tax... half the bag, twice the cost.
Better off with brands like Mystery Ranch, Kifaru, Stone Glacier. All American made, insanely overbuilt.

Good bag for just walking from the car to a shot real close by. That bag will demolish your back if you walk anywhere. Practical for storage, but otherwise a useless bag.

That’s a cool option... my Arca is just at 16.25 inches high which would be a tight squeeze in that case. I also prefer a top loading case. I have a series of packs I can strap top loading cases...
Lol touché, as a backpack expert (nothing I’m proud of) the options are almost limitless for anything folding.

If you have a clamshell camera, never complain... ever. There are 10,000 options that exist.

Man... this is AWESOME, found one on eBay for a decent price. I think this will really fit my needs.

Best of both worlds... Arca Swiss.
It’s just a smaller user base due to cost.

I think the Mindshift First Light 40L would come close.

Unsure of the rails itself... I’ll check later and report back.
I do know that the clamp thingy (optical bench I think is what AS calls them) doesn’t play well with other brands.

While I appreciate the response... it’s a niche item and while I’m sure it’s well made, I can assure you that I’ve dealt with a number of brands in the US manufacturing items with 1,000 denier...
I want one of these but when I inquired the price was insanely high.

I used this set up, it’s GREAT... however, I was super bummed when my Arca Swiss 8x10 rails didn’t fit the clamp. The Kessler product doesn’t close down enough. I called them and they said the only...

If anything speaks to the crapshoot of variability between models and when they were made etc

It was a 210 but racked close... basically, if the camera sat on its first rail, it was fine. The minute the front standard went onto the second track, eshhhh... felt like a real handmade garage...
I used it in France for a project... it’s an interesting camera. Like Carl, if I had kept it... it would have gone straight to Ritter for new bellows. For long exposures I made over there I had to...
I’ve seen those as well... eBay and China are always an interesting deal.
