It's not a folder, but my Sinar P has asymmetrical swings and tilts, and it is ridiculously easy to focus.
Our gallery, Gallery 8 in Phoenix AZ, is accepting entries for an August juried exhibition of photography.
This is the first of what we hope to be an annual show. This year, the eight gallery...
Do you have a website for this WCI?
I understand the technique being tried in these - exaggerate the atmospheric perspective by adding local contrast to the near areas and lowering it in the distance. That is a trick I've used in...
I miss the days of form-follows-function. Deconstructionist architecture is so lame and un-interesting! If I see another glass and metal structure with lots of 30 degree angles and cables with no...
Does it only occurs with older developer? There is an ingredient in developer that drops below a certain level and white lines show up. Mine have always been rippled though, and not white. They show...
I have always cut my own, and have made some serious money cutting custom mats for others - but I HATE it! I am getting out of it and am looking for someone to cut mine. I want to spend my time...
Chris, the F2 does not have assymmetric movements. Only the P or P2 do, althought the F series do use another form of Sinar's 2-point focusing. But I still agree, I would opt for an F series over the...
Well, I will be staying up all night tonight finishing my proposal and getting together my portfolio for the Phoenix Historic Buildings photography grant. I figure my chances are about 1 in 25 of...
overnightprints.com, but do not go to their site. search for them in yahoo, and the link you get will save you about 40%
Great idea, Rob! I am going to head down to the camera store to look for a cable release project myself now.
Can anyone tell me how long the plunger is on the cable release for a sinar auto aperture shutter? I need one, but keep getting outbid on ebay, and the replacement sells for $300. I know it is longer...
It could very well be that the darkroom was warmer. I am going to try a weaker dilution of KRST next time like Richard does, and see if I get a little more control. I will experiment with a 1+40...
I've liked this combo before, but daaaamn! This time, it turned really warm. I think the DMax decreased, too. I toned for 8 minutes in fresh KRST with a dash of Kodalk. I had used Dektol 1:2...
Weren't there some polaroid land cameras that used 4" roll film? I thought I remembered seeing one in a thrift store once. Maybe I am mistaken.
I have two Sinar behind the lens shutters in my possession. One is the digital shutter with a rechargeable battery, the other is the mechanical one. I don't have the cable for the mechanical one, and...
Emre - beautiful photo. Similar to the photos I have been asked not to make!
Brian - otherwise, Phoenix is a great place to be. Most of AZ is very LF friendly. For the most part, you can do...
I do try to be very friendly and explain what I am doing. I break out my employee ID from the college I work for, etc. Some officers are nice people and pretty easy going, and some are on a little...
For the last 6 months or so, I have had many difficulties photographing downtown Phoenix. I have been approached by uniformed officers at least half of the times I have been out shooting. I have been...
Yes! I am only halfway through all the links, and I have seen some terrific stuff. This is exactly the kind of discussion I was hoping for.
Anybody used one of these? Looks like they sell cheap. Does it fit in a spring back? Looks too fat.
I'm looking for artists who shoot architecture and cityscapes in a non-traditional fashion. Andreas Gursky has some interesting images, and I saw some nice stuff in this month's Lenswork. Anybody...
macs are better. face it ;o)
wow. that was air-brained of me! I forgot this jpg does not have dates.
We were open Friday and Saturday, but unfortunately won't be again until 3rd Friday (March 17th) 6-10PM.
We'll be there...
8 photographers in all, 2 LF'ers, many alt processes, some exiting new work:

I shoot night exposures specifically to get funky colors. I tried some 160T once, and it was so blue it looked like the city was Atlantis! I find that many of the lights used to light the outside of...
sorry, it's glycin, not glycol.
VersaPrint II, a glycol based developer from Fine Art Photo Supply, works exceptionally well with Forte. It does not keep well, though.
I have searched, but the plethora of hits on this has left me swimming in a sea of threads that don't answer my question. Even the Vade Mecum has me a little lost. What is the difference between the...
There are two current version, the chromegatrol (which incorporates the timer), and the standard power supply model (that does not). I believe the standard power supply comes with a power cable that...
Ah! thank you!
I use a sinar pan-tilt tripod, which works great with my sinar whose base uses the larger thread size tripod screw, but I would also like to use it with my TLR, which takes the smaller sized tripod...
It sounds like to me it was just a scheimpflug thing. If you pointed the camera up, and then the back standard back to vertical, you would have something like this (except pointed diagonally...
Sinar is good about sending you an instruction manual no matter where you got the equipment. Just shoot them and email @ Sinar and they will put one in the mail.
Isn't that basically a Sinar P3 with all the options?
Christopher,
thank you for the link to your research. I always enjoy a really scientific comparison between lenses. I actually thought the germinar looked sharper in the detail from 16x20's though!
The front element of a process lens could work. They are pretty long, with big coverage. Also, I have wanted to try a condenser lens from an enlarger. Peeking through one it looks like it could work.
Instead of paying $75 for a BTZS elastic focussing cloth, I bought an XXXL black windbreaker with lining to use with my 11x14. Almost no light gets through it, and it has a sinch-string on the bottom...
Jerome is fantastic! It is an old mining town turned artists' community North of Phoenix on the I-17. Tuzigoot National Monument is right outside Jerome. It is a cool Anasazi ruin. Montezuma's Castle...
