I've always used an 80A filter with household bulbs, usually 150W halogens, with excellent results. They tend to burn hotter than normal bulbs, which I think will still be slightly warm even with...
You need a "step down transformer", with a power rating at least as much as the enlarger, probably 10 to 20% more for a safety margin. I think the only electrical device in your enlarger is the...
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
Sorry for the misundertanding, but I'll be making a 4x5 gg.
I have a lifetime supply of drafting films (vellum and mylar) that I got...
HI Jason,
1) I'll take you up on your offer for some grit!
2) The local craft store has paint for glass that you cure in the oven. My idea was to print the grid you want on normal paper, and...
You'll never please everyone with the location. How about moving it 1 time zone Eastward each year? Monteray, then Denver, then Chicago or St. Louis, then Pittsburgh or Raleigh... Personally, I...
I used a sewing needle to poke the hole in some .003" brass, and a 25 gauge syringe needle (.5mm) to size the hole. It's an almost perfect 150mm, F/300 lens for 4x5.
12 stuck in a 36 year old body. Serious 35mm about 3 years, 4x5 about 3 months. Pittsburgh, PA www.pghphoto.org
Sandy, The "Wood effect" is what you call the lightening of foilage in IR. It is named after the guy who discovered it. Check WJ's Infrared Page for lots and LOTS of info.

If AZO is 32 times slower, that's 5 stops, that puts you at F8.
The IRE scale is used for video, not film. The scale is calibrated to show the black and white points on a composite video signal. IRE is the Institute of Radio Engineers. You should be able to...
I guess the contract is null and void in the Northern Hemisphere where it's the winter solstice. Have a happy whatever!
RE: The Adams reference. I remember reading it, but can't remember which book. Adams was talking about the difference in the final prints, specifically the "old" version which was done on glass...
I found the vendor's link for the LED modules. www.lumex.com. Search for LXC1283. They have two green modules, one is 565nM and is a close match to the Kodak #7B (550nM). The other is a 525nM,...
I built my amber safelight by finding an LED module that had the same wavelength as the Kodak OC filter. A cheap 12VDC supply, three resistors and 72 LEDs later...Total cost was about $40. I...
If you want to do Pittsburgh, do it quick before the local politicians rip down all the old buildings to put up city-financed over priced department stores.
So, if you put it on a camera, and lock the shutter open, will it fog the film?
I have the Trekker AW (I can't remember if it is a "Pro"). It just barely fits the carry on size restrictions.
I'm about 6'-3", the waist harness is in the wrong spot for me. HOwever, it's...
There is also a product called "liquid electrical tape", made by Star Brite. I found a small can (a few ounces) in a boating store. I've never noticed how flexible it is after it dries, but it...
I'm considering building a small view camera outfit (camera, maybe one or two le nses).
I've seen a few recommendations for the Sinar Norma as an older (ie less expensi ve) introduction to LF....
If the purpose is to overcome light falloff, what about shooting a grey card, then scanning and then changing the brightness of the image in Photoshop? If you convert the image to a negative (from...
Your English is fine, I re-read your question, I did not read it correctly (my fault, not yours). Unfortunately, I think the answer is experience. The only way to develop a way to measure what...
I think the E6 process does not allow this kind of flexibility. Most of these ideas are strictly for b&w film (Zone System N+1, N-2 etc). They're not push/pull in the normal sense (ie a whole...
