Both of them are great. As usual, though.
I have the f12.5 version of the Extreme Wide Angle Velostigmat Series III, 6 1/4. It is tiny and very wide, for my tastes. Sometimes, however, it has been useful. The following image has been taken...
I do have red led strips. They are true monocolor red, not the RGB type, and dimmable, with a controller. Inexpensive and easy to install. I installed them because my paterson safelights

Pyro 510 is the developer I use for large format. In my case, 8x10. With the 1+100 dilution, developing times are so short that a right agitation pattern is crucial. Any constant flow will leave a...
This is a follow-up of my previous post on the use of glycerin to postpone fixing/washing of plates
when working in the field. I am interested in the method because I want to shoot negatives and I...
Thanks a lot, Martin.

I have recently rediscovered this wonderful thread. Let me start by thanking all the people that has contributed here.
I think, however, that the use of glycerin to postpone fixing or washing when...
Disactis is still in business but they can only handle a limited amount of orders. When the maximum is achieved,
they close till all orders are sent and then open again.
Another option, besides...
Red LED stripes are cheap, safe with Foma paper and much brighter. You can use a remote with them to adjust the level of brightness, to be completely safe.
Beware that Foma paper is much more sensitive to safelights than Ilford's. Depending on your darkroom,
you may be experiencing some fogging. Fogging may lower the contrast of the copies. Check...
No need to trim 4x5 film. You can buy it ;-) At least Adox, Ilford and Foma offer film in this size.
At Fotoimpex you can find all of them. There may be other retailers that also have this film in...
Anchell's book indicates 15grs/l of citric acid to make a stop bath working solution.
This is what I use. It is not exactly what you're asking for but, looking at the formulation of
acetic acid...
Congratulations.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. They mean a lot coming from you. I am really flattered.
Thanks a lot!

I started recently the slippery road to wet plate collodion. I studied some literature
(Jacobson's books and the Scully & Osterman Collodion Manual) and attended
a workshop to learn the...

If it consistently focus at the back of your focus point, probably the ground glass is reversed: the frosted part is probably facing you instead of facing inwards the camera. Try to flip the ground...
Dear John,
very nice picture. However, the name of the building is not "Casa Milo", but "Casa Milŕ" (see this wiki entry, or this one, if you prefer English over Catalan ;) ). It is better known...
This is very nice, at all levels. Congratulations.
Wonderful picture, as usual. Congratulations.
Hi, Rolf,
my source is http://www.disactis.com/. They do have na2 and all the chemicals you'll
need for pt/pd printing. It is currently closed, congés d'été, but they will reopen on August 21st....
Yes, it should. Thanks.
The trick would be, if the circle of image of the lens allows it, to raise the front standard to align as much as possible the center of the lens with
the eyes of the subject (which also moves the...
Thanks. It looks simple and efficient.
I love the image and the story. Please, show us the portable lab. I'm really curious.
This is very nice. I'm glad your daughter returned safely.
Thank you, Ben.
Thanks a lot. To be compared with Sudek is a great compliment.
Although I wasn't trying to mimic his style in this particular shot,
at least not at the moment I took it, I cannot deny that I am...

I may be wrong, but it seems that Jobo tanks (in particular, those of the Expert series) produce too much density when used with pyro
developers. They are a fine (and probably the best) option with...
Wonderful. Everything’s wonderful.

Excellent! Congratulations. Is there a story here?
Best, Pau
Bravo. I love it.

Good old cyanotypes are a good place to start with. Mild chemicals that can be
even bought prepackeged, if you want to avoid the hassle of mixing them
from scratch (which is otherwise...
Philippe,
thanks!
It is a very thin gampi paper, handmade. I don't know exactly the weight,
but it is around 20grs/m2. If you blow, it goes away. It is rather difficult to find.
I buy it...
