Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check them out.

Hi all,

It's been several years since I've made prints, and it looks like the last place I used to print at, Dickerman Prints in San Francisco, moved to a new location and didn't take their...

My current plan is to contact S.K. Grimes about drilling a hole 1.5-2.0mm lower off-center. I haven't contacted them about it yet. I'll let everyone know how it goes and try to post pictures later.

Thanks again for everyone's comments and suggestions. I thought I'd give everyone an update.

It turns out I only have space for an upright freezer, so I got a Frigidaire with a temperature...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I've never seen a top hat lens board. I imagine that's just the opposite of a recessed lens board? Where would I find one?

I think there is some frame that...

I have a late-model Phillips Explorer 8x10 that takes Technika-style lensboards. I used to use a 300mm APO Symmar-L lens with it with no problems.

I tried mounting a 300mm Sironar-S for the first...

This is great information!

Bob and Vinny, I hadn't thought about using vacuum-sealed food bags. I'll need to look into that.

Jerold, I think you're right about chest freezers. I looked into...

I've haven't been diligently reading these forums the past several months and just yesterday I caught word of Astia Quickloads getting discontinued. Even though I only use Astia for maybe 1 out of 10...

These are all great recommendations! I've been really careful with my lenses, putting in the extra effort to keep them clean in the field. The lenses are almost two years old now, and I've only ever...

They do most everything but I go there for the fantastic C-41 processing.

Sorry if this has been covered before. I've been visiting here for the last couple years, devouring information, and I don't remember reading about the proper way to clean lenses.

I've been...

I have the Gitzo GT2530 and have been using it for almost two years now with an Ebony 4x5 camera. It is rock solid and long-exposures have always been crystal clear. I've traveled to Asia and gone on...

I did a quick search and I think the "media" safes mentioned earlier might be able to keep film from getting ruined in a fire. They keep the interior below 125 degrees Fahrenheit and are rated for...

I went on an amazing trip to China for several weeks in December/January with my 4x5. When I returned, I had a voicemail from my landlord that the apartment upstairs (3rd floor) had a pipe burst the...

Astia 8x10 is listed on the international FujiFilm site.

Badger Graphic most likely direct imports the film....

It was a bit disconcerting to hear Astia isn't offered in 8x10! I've been thinking of making the jump from 4x5 to 8x10 so I've been on the look out for the color films that I use: Astia, 160S, Portra...
