Thanks mpirie

I'll start working on it as soon it arrives, and if I don't find the dimensions know you have them (I have tried to search this site but I guess I didn't look thorough enough).

Thanks Eric,

Could you clarify what you mean with making a large plus sign shape? Do I understand you correct that this is the adapter between the 8x8" Beseler and 6x12" Ilford?

I found a Ilford Multigrade 500 system (C, H, S and P) for just below $280 (2450 SEK), which seemed like a bargain. It is suppose to be in "better shape than normally expected", so I ordered it right...

The X-Rite 810 I got of E-bay was not complete. Is there a place where (used) spare parts are available? Or

Unfortunately it seems I need both the reading lamp assembly (part no. 820-52) and a...

Thank you Rick.

I cannot find the User's Manual for the X-Rite 810 densitometer online. I wrote to X-Rite and they don't have it either. I've seen that you can buy an original copy on E-bay, but I was hoping to find...

I contributed. It feels like a lot of under water photography provides a Wow!-sensation for 5 seconds and then quickly drops into the category of too-much-too-similar. This project has the potential...

On Youtube there are a few nice mini-documentaries (or similar) on photographers using large format viewcameras. Here are two examples:

"Menace and Majesty - the Dolomites in large format...

Thanks for all your advise. For me it became a decision between a Linhof Technika, a Wista Technical, or a Toyo-View 45A/AX/AII. In the end I was offered second hand Linhof Master Technika Classic...

My cousin will be in Tokyo in few days. Anyone knows of a second hand camera store where one could expect to find this type of gear? He is not there to run my errands so it must be easy to find.

Thanks.

I found some ok videos about the metal Wistas and Toyo AII:

I've been using a Toyo 45CF for 10 years now. This is the only view-camera I have ever used or even fiddled with (due to lack of LF communities where I live in Sweden). The Toyo 45CF have served me...

I exposed a few sheets of Atomic-X a few days ago. My real aim was to test T-MAX 100 in Tetenal Ultrafin developer, but I aslo exposed Atomic-X for comparison, so I thought I'd share in this thread....

I developed some Atomic-X in R5Monobath using the CombiPlan following their instruction (vertical tank, filling through the lid-port, air way opened half a turn). The images turned out fine...making...

I have those numbers, Bob, and I must confess that the differences are small enough to give you right concerning the time it takes to add the liquid. I'll probably compare the standard vertical...

Interesting solution, Scheinfluger_77. Thanks for the tip.

How do you remove the hose in order to plug the port when the tank is full? Without causing a huge mess, I mean, assuming the hose is...

Yes, yes I do...or did rather. I stopped filling the tank that way a long time ago, since I thought it took too long.

But to be fair, I have never measured the time it takes to fill the tank...

Yes, you are right. But it takes too long time to fill the tank the way it was intended. Much much too long time, for my taste. The air does not escape fast enough.

Filling from the side port when...

In the figure below you can see an image developed using these instructions.

I have now developed a few sheets of Atomic-X film in R5 Monobath using a CombiPlan tank. Here are some thought if anyone else is thinking of doing the same (or something similar). I’m sure there are...

Quick note: I have to adjust how I use my (newly bought but second hand) spotmeter. As I used it this weekend the negatives seems to come out under exposed by about 2 stops.

In the figure below...

Disclaimer: If you are looking for a well-throughout, well-executed and well-analyzed test done according to industry standards written in industry jargon, I’m afraid you have to look elsewhere.

On a similar topic.

In the R5 Monobath user guides it is written "Avoid pouring the warmed monobath into a cold tank...".

What do you think is the best way to heat the tank (or, I guess, cool...

Could not find a thread about this, but please link to it if it does exists.

I'm semi-new to adjusting exposure and film-development according to the zone system (and its been a while since a I...

I'm looking for photos to hang on an empty wall in my house. Preferably by enthusiastic amateur photographers, like myself.

If any of you are willing to sell images (digital files) for about $75...

Please keep us updated, I find this very interesting.

I tried to build my own 4x5" scan back not too long ago. But I had to prioritize work and family, so it is still not finished:...

I think it is very hard to have a preference for screen size and touch-technique, until one has tried the back and have feeling for how to use it. Will multi-touch be an important part of procedure?...

Not sure I understand you completely, but I guess you mean that I can attach a 36×24mm sensor on my LF camera. Yes sure, but composing the image will be a bit awkward on that small area (plus I'd...

No, I have not used a professional digital camera, but I'm sure the image quality is more than enough. The thing is, I love recording images with my 4x5" camera. There is something about the process,...

As an enthusiastic amateur who's only intention is record great images for my own amusement, I'd love to get my hands on a digital back for large format cameras (preferably 4x5"). I love using these...

I just did the first test scan on the Agfa DuoScan T2500, and it works beautifully. I have it connected to an old computer running Windows XP which is only used for operating the scanner; when I'm...

Corran:
What OS, hardware and such would you recommend? I think I can get the computer guy at work to help me put together a computer just to run the scanner, using parts not in use anymore.
...

Hey

I might get my hands on an old (15-20 years?) Agfa DuoScan T2500 scanner. It has not been in use for many years and no one knows if it is working properly. Since it use SCSI interface (and not...

Here you can see the first sample image of the IRIScan back. I hope I can improve on this.

I just built a solder free test setup with flashing IR LED. I can adjust the frequency with the...

Great idea! I have just stated to play around with 555 IC (actually 556 but at the moment I'm only using one of the 555 halves).

I'll post as soon as I have a new scan image, but at the moment I...

The gearwheel LED is not a visible light LED, it is a IR LED.

I tried to block it an use the strobe function on my iPhone LED but nothing happened. But when I, with fast movements, removed the...

Silly me. The simplest way to trick the scanner must be to mask or remove the gearwheel LED and use an external blinking LED. I just need to figure out at what frequencies it should blink and how to...

The IRIScanner arrived yesterday.

Now I understand how the scanner knows how fast it is being moved over a surface. Wheels underneath the scanner are connected to a gearwheel that sits between a...

For anyone who is thinking of building a scanner camera like the ones Michael Golembewski from The Scanner Photography Project is building. I found a instructive blog which I haven't seen anyone link...

By the way, I have a "Rodenstock 72 Deg. APO-Sironar-N 5,6/150mm" lens. And if I understand the table on Rodenstock's homepage correct the image circle at infinity at aperture 16-22 is 214 mm. Which...
