    My 5X7 Deardorf Special (comes with a 4X5 back as well), classic, sturdy and has all the bellows I need, a wonderful tool.

    Re: Is 5x7 endangered?

    Is 5X7 endangered? Nope, at least no more so than film in general I suspect. Plenty of great films available (just limited on the color side), enlargers can be found, most 4X5 lenses can cover 5X7,...

    Re: Fujinon T 400/8

    By the way, it only took me a few hours to build the unit, it is very easy. The lights are cheap, so even if I replace them every 2-3 years it is no big deal.
  33. Re: LED UV Light Box: Build Your Own for Under $150

    Well, we have to try new things in order to advance - otherwise life just stands still.
