I like to see this kind of documentary work being done about artists so I'll pony up the $20. I also think it will be something I will want to revisit from time to time.

I like to see this kind of documentary work being done about artists so I'll pony up the $20. I also think it will be something I will want to revisit from time to time.
It was posted in a thread over on APUG.
I do think it has been out for awhile but I had forgotten all about it and never tried to see if it was available through someone like netflix. I need to...
I know for a lot of folks Sally Mann is an either love or hate proposition. Here is a link to a movie that was made about her: What Remains: The Life and work of Sally Mann.
It's a great look...
I picked up a couple of 1 year past date 5 litre packages at a camera swap meet last year. Both packages worked fine, but I did test each batch. Like others have said, test it before putting...
It really is a simple matter of cost. With so much demand destruction due to pros migrating to digital, prices continue to increase to make up for lost volume. Every increase probably prices out a...
I would hate to see the hard copy version go away. I find reading a physical mag (or book) a much more enjoyable experience.
But I would like to have access to the several years of back issues I...
I read on APUG that Simon Gallery of Ilford had contacted FOMA and that they are actually shutting down for about 2 weeks to do a deep cleaning of machinery, similar to what Ilford does once a year.
The price of a barrel of oil has more than doubled in the last 3 years, yet consumption world wide has increased only a few percentage points each year. As Donald pointed out, the decrease in the...
For me the problem with magazines like Black and White is I can find far better and timely reviews and opinion about digital products on the web. That means as the digital content goes up, the value...
Huxley's Brave New World wil be coming to your hometown soon!
I am curious. Does any magazine actually ever have real prints in hand (inkjet or silver gelatin) before selecting them for publication? It seems to me that everything is done via a CD or...
I shot Efke a couple of years ago in 4x5 and had no problems. With the possible closing of Ilford I stocked up on HP5 and FP4 and had not used Efke since. Recently Donald Miller has been posting...
If you go to the site you see you see that besides the edition of 200 8x10 or smaller images, other editions are available for more $. For example, one person shows they have sold 13 $20 images but...
Sad news, but I don't know why anyone is suprised. Considering that the vast majority of commerical shooters who once used LF now shoot digital, there is little market for new lenses produced in the...
Unfortunately they are way over priced on film holders. On their ebay site they list 8x10 for $180 + $25 shipping (new fidelity 8x10 from MPEX is $144)
12x20 holder lists on the site for $510 +...
My contention has been that LF and ULF film will probably always be available. It will be more expensive compared to today and will probably come from one manufacturer with a choice of two...
It really is great times to shoot film in any format, color or B&W. I remember 20 years ago lusting after an 8x10 sinar or arca swiss that cost a few thousands of dollars. Now they go on ebay in...
They both have negative impacts on the environment and use up valuable resources. I would think today digital has a larger impact due to toxicity of inks, dyes and the processes used to make them as...
I was there a couple of months ago and agree that the new addition is great. It really does justice to the museum's modern art collection and is a real pleasure to walk through. The dedicated...
You might want to post on APUG. There is a pretty large contingent of folks living in the DFW area who are regulars and great individuals and would know about all the various resources in the area.
As others have said, put your family first. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Picked up a copy today at the Borders bookstore. Superb issue. Very nice, eclectic set of articles and portfolios. I have read a few articles/interviews recently about Shelby Lee Adams and the one...
This thread on APUG contains the latest info from Michael Smith on his AZO replacement paper.

Sounds like very optimistic...
As a sort of addendum to the series they have been airing a special this week about how they captured some of that amazing footage.
I recently started a thread about retailers for LF film holders. As far as S&S holders go, Sandy King responded to contact him directly about holders. He listed a lot of sizes in stock although I...
Specifically 11x14 and 7x17. I know Quality Camera used to list S&S holders but don't know if that is still the case. Any other vendors currently retailing ULF holders?
A lot of availability depends on format. When you get into ULF sizes we are down to Efke and Ilford as the only mfgs that cut film in ULF sizes. I know that Kodak did a special run of TMY last year...
All one needs to do is do some research on what has happened between the OP date (2001) and today.
We have lost papers from kodak (and Verichrome) and film and paper from Agfa, but Agfa chemistry...
Producing income every year will not cut it with the IRS. You will have to show a taxable profit within the first 3 years or run a very good risk of being audited. And as others have pointed out...
I quit subscribing to all magazines last year. I found that there was always a few issues of each mag during the year I would have left on the shelf at the bookstore, so it costs the same or is...
Rebadging was pretty common among Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Wards (as well as many other large regional retailers) with everything from tires to televisions. When I was kid my first telescope was...
One of the things that got Ilford (as well as Forte and Agfa) into financial trouble was re-branding thier own products and then undercutting themselves price wise. Ilford no longer rebrands. I...
Done the broken rib thing and know how painfull that is without all the other injuries you sustained. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Don't know if you drink, but I found washing down the...
Take the course, get some "chops" with a 4x5. Learn the movements, mechanics, and workflow of LF. If you need to buy a 4x5 get something cheap like an old Calumet 400C series. Not the most...
Over on APUG the lounge was a nice little feature that basically turned into a monster around summer of 04 prior to the elections. And believe me it got real UGLY. So Sean set up a forum called the...
I agree that one needs to factor those things in. I guess I was thinking in terms of someone who produces exclusively inkjets and would be spreading the cost over an entire range of prints offered...
Brooks Jensen has gone the route of selling inkjets for about $20. From what I understand he has sold far more inkjets then he could ever hope to sell with traditional, thus allowing his work to be...
I know that Kodak and Ilford ULF has always been cut approx. 1/16th under the format specs. Measure any ULF (or any LF) negative from them.
Considering that most film holder designs were made...
Contact Steve or contact Ilford directly. The point is Ilford is deciding on the feasibility of a run of film and what formats to cut. From what I have gathered on APUG it will be both FP4 and HP5....
Does that camera fold up or do you transport it with a permanent 18-20" lengthwise dimension.
I don't seem to see where the bed folds anywhere.
