I've heard people talking about diffusion enlargers or enlarger heads and I'm not quite sure what model I would be looking for. My google searches haven't yielded any obvious answers and I would say...
I'm just about to get started on a large format portrait project myself, though I've only used large format for landscapes. These monthly threads really help, though I wish I knew more of the...
I've never added photos to my posts here, so hopefully you'll be able to see those as they are posted.
After a search, a found a lot of stuff, but nothing relevant.
I had used my CanoScan 9000F about a year ago to scan film, mostly 4x5 black and white film, and it had done a decent job. For those...
Brian: Thanks for mentioning those BTZS tubes. It seems extremely interesting. I haven't been doing large format for long, maybe a year or a little more, and I had never heard of them during that...
I saw this and thought I'd ask...What's wrong with just using a backpack and what should one look for or avoid when finding a place to keep film holders?
I think it would be really good to see what your negative looks like, not a scan of the negative, but the negative itself with a good even light source behind it like a lightbox (as somebody else...
Ya know what, I think that's him. Now I have to read up on him.
Thanks!
I'm looking for the name of a photographer I saw either on tv or in a photo magazine some years back. I barely remember much of it, but I think it's a guy, and in order to do his photographs of urban...
I think I just found something that helped.

that was in the similar threads below, which I didn't see when I was searching...
Thanks for all the replies! I feel like it'd be more productive to actually talk to somebody in person but nobody around here knows of all this stuff, or those that do don't work at photo stores.

I've looked around quite a bit both on this site and on others through Google but nothing I can find is really clear.
I've been finding my development times on the massive dev chart and my...
I'm writing back about my problem with the filters. I have Ilford 3.5 square multi contrast filters that I had been using in my school's 35mm/medium format enlargers. I thought I had to put in huge...
I haven't looked at too many of the other posts, but I would say the close view if it was my work. To me, the wide view looks like a document of a ride at a fair, it shows a place, though it's...
Hey everybody. I've posted just a little bit here and replied to some posts, but I just saw this intro section and figured I'd post.
I'm 26, nearly out of college, and I have a second major in...
Ah, it looks like I'm missing the filter holder though, unless that would come separate from the enlarger. I'll check out using the filter under the lens. Hopefully it won't mess up the image too...
26. Just getting into LF since I have to do it by myself and never was able to get into the class in college before I transferred to the place I'm at now. There's a much smaller darkroom here with...
Hi all, I'm sorry that this thread is almost 3 years old but the title seemed right. I'm not sure how threads here work but I've got a question about this enlarger. I've searched a bit and haven't...
Wow, some of your "first shots" are pretty nice... lol.
I took this just a week ago with my school's only 4x5 camera, a Tower Press Camera. It's just a view out the back of my apartment.
I totally understand this.
This time of the year is NOT a good time to take up LF as I have. I was out for maybe 5 or 6 hours last weekend shooting for the first time. It wasn't as cold this...
I'm pretty new to the whole large format thing, but I want to either go with this film pop (though I really think it odd that this would happen so much and to such an extent just from my experience...
A couple years ago I saw a small bulletin board ad at my college for a 4x5 Beseler black and white enlarger. I think it was advertised for $75. I don't remember what happened, but somehow I managed...
Nice darkrooms everybody.
I'm new to posting here and will hopefully be putting together a darkroom in a few years. I actually just recently got a hold of a Tower Press Camera (4x5) and managed...
