It might be a good idea to do some research before spreading false information. A quick web search turns up information, from reliable sources, such as The USPS, Canada Post etc, that indicates that...

It is a Ross 20" F6.3 aerial survey lens. It came mounted to an aluminum cone about 18" long x about 8"? dia at the camera mount.

A United Church stone church in Quyon Que. Ansco 8x10 with Kodak aerial film cut from a roll and developed in DD23

I lucked into it at a fleamarket a lot of years ago, all covered in dust and the front lens has a couple of small scratches, but it seems to work well enough. I am not enough of a photo pro to...

The last post that I read, which seems to have disappeared and maybe rightfully so, if I recall correctly, said something about his BIL murdering his sister?? There were other problems also, and as...

Choices weren't really clear ....

Most often I use a tablet, but it's a Microsoft tablet running Win8 and with a keyboard attached, so I guess it's really a laptop, of which I also have one (Sony...

I agree. This (above) is how I repaired the multiple cracks in the bed of my 8x10 Ansco. I slightly diluted the glue to make it a little bit runnier, then I used a syringe from Lee Valley Tools (can...

I use D-D23 exclusively, so water temperature doesn't make any difference as long as it's reasonably close. I also don't have a dedicated darkroom, just a chunk of plywood across the bathtub, so...

I had a couple of problems with water droplets causing faint lines on my negatives until I realised that I could simply fill the tubes with water first, drop in the negatives and let them presoak for...

Okey-dokey.... I was hoping that the close-up photos would have shown enough room on the 7" dimension to accommodate the 8x10 back. To get the 10" film dimension to fit the 7" side of the standard...

Daniel,

I've never seen a Wisner so I have to ask...is the 7x17 back removable in the "normal way? IE:is it held in with a couple of clips? If so, then you could simply buy any old 8x10 back and...

I'm cutting my 9.5"x125' rolls down to 9.5"x8" and using it as 8"x10" (with the curl into the emulsion it is stiff enough to stay flat in the holder without falling out).

I'm rating mine at ISO25....

The Kilmarnock lock bridge near Smith Falls, Ontario on a very grey day. The rain was just starting and the clouds were touching the treetops when I shot this. I think it's a scan of a 4x5 contact...

The Five-Span stone bridge across Ontario's Mississippi River at Pakenham. It's a difficult bridge for which to get a nice shot of all five arches. This is a negative scan of FP4+ shot in a Calumet...

The Pretoria Bridge, a lift bridge across the Rideau Canal on a grey damp day in Ottawa. A negative scan of FP4+ taken in a Calumet 4x5 monorail. It printed a bit lighter than this and in the print,...

Covered bridge at Wakefield Quebec. This is a negative scan, complete with scanner dust of an 8x10 PlusX Aero negative. It's not a great scan as it was done only to get an idea of what I might be...

I use a bullseye level from Lee Valley to set the camera tilt head level for a starting position. My tripod (US Army Surplus) has two built in levels at right angles, same as I used when I was...

Rob and Ron,

Thank you for the offer and the heads-up. I wasn't really looking for another or a different enlarger, but this was mentioned to me during a visit, and I was wondering what the...

Hi folks,

Thank you for the input. I think I'll take your advice and give it a pass. I'll also pass along the info to my friend. He's quite reasonable, so I suspect he'll lower the price...

A friend of mine has an enlarger he wants to get rid of. It's a model # D2, and I don't know if it's an Omega or a Durst. It looks like Omega pictures I've found on the web, but he called it a Durst....

I'd say he's done just fine for his first time out. It's nice that he and you get to go out together -nicely done both of you !!

Mine is a 1941 model. The colour of mine is gray with nickel plating on the hardware and with red leather bellows lined with black cloth. The lensboard is 1/2" thick and is 7-1/2" square on the...

Just a couple of thoughts based on reading at various other forums .... Did any money not refunded travel by USPS? (cheques) Did that money cross state lines? If this happened is there a chance that...

Fun and educational.

cheers

You asked about 4x5, and I do this for 8x10, but I guess it's the same idea anyway. I don't fly or travel outside Canada, so I don't worry about scanners and inspections. I have two ABS tubes with a...

Home made ABS BTZ type tubes for both 4x5 and 8x10.

Good to hear that you're making your way thru' it Dave. I'm still thinking positive thoughts for you!!

cheers eh?

I use a guillotine paper cutter. It's not a special one, just one that I picked up at Staples for about $50. I use a stop block to get the correct length and I use a wooden pressure plate to hold the...

Dave,

I have read about this on APUG (thank you Ole) and I am so sad to hear of this terrible event. Please know that I am thinking about you.

Sending only my sympathy, my best wishes and...

Mick,

If it was a screw, then someone has broken the head off it. It looks too smooth on the top to be broken off. If it goes all the way through, then it's a friction fit "drive-pin" and it...

I use the Aerographic 2402 in my 8x10. I don;t know how it compares to 2422, but maybe an example of how it works for me will encourage you to try yours. I cut it into 8" chunks on a paper cutter...

No answer here, but I am curious ... if the enlarging lens came off a lens board, why would it not fit properly on another lens board? Maybe the answer is not to shoot with it improperly mounted but...

My experience with bring almost anything into Canada is in buying from Lithuania, the UK and the USA. There has been no duty attached to anything I have bought, new or used. I have had to pay the...

I keep a logbook. Each entry in the book is dated. Each entry has all the details from weather to film and camera to lens,tripod and exposure. Each logbook entry and exposure is numbered. The...

I cut down 9.5" x 125' aerial film to fit 8x10. I use a paper cutter of the type that you find in a paper supplies store - nothing special. I don't have a darkroom, or special fans or filters or...

I've had something similar to this a couple of times. It turned out to be a spider thread inside the bellows of my 8x10. A dust off with compressed air followed by a wipe down with a damp rag on the...
