Because of their age, these things come in every condition from junk to excellent. Price sounds high and I would make sure of not making a long drive for nothing, any lenses included? Mine is the...

It is easy to align, I built a 2x8" frame to hold the enlarger and a seperate plywood table to hold the easel. The manual has alignment instructions. I make lens boards from plywood.

I bought mine in 1982 and it's been in my darkroom ever since. Still using the dome head with filters for multi contrast. It will produce a print that I like in both 8x10 and 5x7. Make sure you get...

I have the same problem with a new Windows 7 browser, my old Vista browser works fine. Can't open Unified View or Todays Posts

Hi Matt, Check Huron Camera in Dexter for used LF gear, I have purchased several lenses and a nice Crown Graphic there over the years. Ann Arbor has a good LF heritage, Howard Bond lives nearby and...

Cole Weston, son of Edward, photographed at his workshop in Scottsdale AZ circa 1978. Photographing nudes indoors because of rainy weather.

When loading my unicolor drum with 4x5 sheets I put a small 45deg fold in the right upper corner of the first sheet and another in the left corner of the second sheet. The fold is small enough not...

Is it a variable contrast head?

Are you selling the Aristo head? If so what model is it?

My Elwood and I take that as an insult, it's much bigger and heavier than a Pinto! Its more like a Model A Ford sedan and it's in my basement and working perfectly.

There is a Durst 8x10 enlarger for $1 on Detroit C----list. Somebody should grab this(I would but I already have an Elwood.)

I saw the exhibiit last saturday and while the photographs are great, showing the Chicago (and other cities) of the last century, I was amazed at the detail drawings of the facades that graced...

You could send it to Richard Ritter, he did this somewhat difficult repair on my 5x7 ddorff and it was flawless.

I have a few new in the box Durst transformers for the Multigraph if anyone needs a fresh one.

Hi Robert,

We met at David Plowden gathering at Calumet last summer, glad to hear you are thinking about a darkroom. Omega D2 is good choice because there are so many out there plus parts on ebay...

This is Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur.

Here is a seagull skull and miscellanous feathers. 5x7 tri-x.

Here is one from Point Lobos;

Unicolor drums, hand rolled for 4x5 5x7 or 8x10

The cup I have doesn't have tabs, anyone know if Jobo analog still exists?

I recently bought a Jobo 2840 drum to print R4, lid came with the funnel which I removed by twisting. The cup doesn't have the tabs the funnel has, anyone know the right way to attach it to the lid?

John, I was there and saw just about everthing, can you describe what it looked like?

jimmyg, I have several Durst tranformers, all new in various sizes and volts. Email me with what you need, I may have one cheap.

Hello Steve,

Thanks for your dedication to large format photography your magazine often inspires me to get out with my cameras and shoot big negatives. How about a story on Howard Bond. He is...

The bulb I bought at B&H is a GE ph/213 enlarger bulb. To put the bulb in the sweet spot of the dome, I used a 3" extender with two plug sockets from the local hardware store. I have even...

I just recently bought a 250 watt GE opal bulb from B&H for my 8x10 elwood, it's bright enough for 16x20 prints. You might try a 150 watt opal bulb for the 5x7. I have a 1940s Elwood catalog and...

I just built a new floor stand and easel table for my 8x10 Elwood and no longer have to lay on the floor to print. I also switched from using multigrade contrast filters below the lens to taping...

What is Kentmere?

I have both cameras and I love both and use both. Because my photography is often done on a whim or sudden inspiration I shoot 10 sheets of 4x5 or 5x7 for every sheet of 8x10. I love the large...

Ansel Adams describes this problem and the solution in "The Camera" page 66. To sum it up briefly a light meter is used to measure light on the ground glass as the lens is stopped down.

I built my light box 2 years ago and use BL tubes. They work well, my normal exposure time is 8-10 minutes which allows for leisurely burning or dodging. A good printing frame is helpful.

Calumet shipped it one year ago.

I will be spending a few days in New York City soon and am wondering if Lens and Repro is worth a visit for LF enthusists like myself ? I plan on spending time at the renovated MOMA or perhaps some...

My question is what looks better from any distance, the digital print or the silver print?

The John Schaffer book "Basic Techniques of Photography" vol. 2 describes the use of a step wedge for zone system testing. It is very quick and eliminates making multiple exposures. Scotch tape is...
