    Re: Are you in the Homeland Security database?

    Yup, and the *only* way to make it go away is to not stand for it. When someone tries to violate your rights by asking for ID, or your film, or for you to leave public property politely (but firmly)...

    Re: Are you in the Homeland Security database?

    Why not just say no? Seriously. If it really upsets you (and it would me, in this case) refuse to comply. The worst that can happen is that you're refused entrance. If enough people stop meekly...

    Well, I'm just starting to dip my toe in the 4x5 color waters so, if nothing else, I'd be happy to pester you with questions for at least half the conference. ;-)
  10. Re: Found Unopened Pyrocat and TF-4 Should I Use It?

    That's normal for TF-4. It stays in solution once you dilute out 3:1 for working strength. I'd mix it up and see how long it takes to clear a piece of film.

    I mixed up some from 18mos old stock...

    Pan and Tilt tripod head recommendations?

    Well, a 2lb head on a 3.5lb tripod makes 5.5lbs. A 2lb head on a 6lb tripod is 8lbs. So, that $400 saves 2.5 lbs which is the whole weight of your camera.
