Robert,

If you have a thousand bucks burning a hole in your pocket, get the Dorff. It is a great camera. But if you want to get a sturdy 8x10, just as light for field work, get a Kodak 2D. Its...

Thanks to everyone who gave me their 2 cents worth. This forum is a truly amazing opportunity for us young guys to learn from you guys with sulfur burns on your fingers.

Being a LF nubie, I have started off by emercing myself in A.A.'s books and his ideas on the Zone system. Does it really make that much difference in developing to N, N-1, N+1, etc. on a properly...

I am having a small showing of some of my work, both color and B&W. While I think a white border enhances a B&W enlargement(then the mat) I don't have a feel for color enlargements. Should color...

I have only been developing my own B&W for about a year now. I am using a rotary drum. I am getting properly exposed/developed negs. I scan them to work on them in photoshop. When I zoom in to...

Thanks for all your suggestions. I develop in a rotary tank, so sheets don't touch. Possibly the humidity going in then out of my fridge is doing it. Or the humidity in south Florida, 96% does it....

I just watched Tiger Woods win his 10th major tournament, using Nike clubs, balls, shoes, and a black outfit. I'm going to switch! But, I'll never play like Tiger!! And its not because I don't...

Thanks guys for all the helpful info. I originally thought there was only one "correct" way to develop B & W negs, but listening to you, things aren't just "Black & White". There are a lot of...

I have used a wooden survey tripod for my 8x10 for 6 months. (Bought at a pawn shop for $10.) I broke the screw handle off from underneath the mounting plate, and replaced it with a 3/8 bolt and...

Sorry to be off track, but what is the id notch configuration for FP5?

I am a true neophyte to LF. Thank everyone for their thoughts.

My concern is with developing in stock solution vs. diluting 1 + 1 or 1 + 3. I have read countless notes stating the longer the...

I have a problem with the smoothness of focusing my 4x5 Tachihara when doing closeup/macro work. It isn't nearly as pronounced with regular shots. I have had an old Graphic camera before and it...

There is a sucker born every minute. And I am that fool! I paid $442.77 for that "great" lens.
A lens that promises 2 stops more D.O.F. than the rest, how could I pass that up. I am not a...
