    send a message to Kodak

    As best I know, Verichrome Pan never was made in regular sheet-film sizes. Kodak mainly offered it in rollfilm sizes 120, 620, maybe 127. There's also a mention of Cirkut film size. Verichrome was a...
  4. How do you get back into the swing of things?

    Take a young person with you and mentor him or her. If you have somebody inexperienced with you, and you concentrate part of your energy on helping him/her to understand not just the nuts and bolts,...
  5. FW: Columnist writes about Federal guards stopping photographer

    I think the phrase we're looking for is "prior restraint."

    Paper Magic bullet?

    (You may already know this, but just in case:) "Glossy" doesn't mean the same thing in fiber-based papers that it means in RC papers. In too many viewing situations, glossy RC prints look like they...

    Strobe requirements for 4x5

    I attended a Dean Collins seminar many years ago. One thing that stuck with me was the ways he was able to use "wasted light" from a single light source. With an appropriately powerful main light, he...
  11. Yellow filters for B+W snow recommendations

    This is a little tangential to the original question, but I wonder if Mr. Scudder would comment on how he determines exposure when using a polarizing filter.
  12. A question for sellers and buyers of limited edition prints

    This is a great topic for discussion, Rory, and I look forward to seeing more of others' responses. I also agree with you in thinking that this label, "limited edition," is problematic. Here's what...
  13. Anything missing from my survey of 4x5 pan neg films?

    Thanks so much for your responses! I had a sneaking suspicion that I had overlooked some smaller producers.

  14. Anything missing from my survey of 4x5 pan neg films?

    Now that Agfa has discontinued the manufacture of APX100 in 4x5 (confirmed for me by Agfa's John Auer earlier this week), I did a quick survey of the black & white pan films still available in 4x5. I...
