I will be emigrating to Australia in a couple of months time. I gathered that only handful of labs in Australia handle 4x5. I do my own processing ranging from 35mm to 8x10 E6 and black and...

I have a 8x10 wooden field John Nesbitt that I am very pleased with and has given me plenty of joy in using it. I have some great 8x10 trannies and black and white produced using the camera. ...

I have cut out one of the damaged 8x10 dark slide as described in one of your article. I have used it with my 8x10 with great success. So far I have only been using it with 250mm f6.7...

Hi All,
Can they be interchanged between the 2 models? I have a CPE 2 Lift arm and wondering whether this can be fitted onto CPP2 processor.

Thanks

Hi all,
Any differences between the two? Do they both have equal coverage and optical resolution? I have both lenses and would like just to keep one. I like the W-series (my first lens) very much....

Hi Michael,
Sorry I have to chime in here with your last comment "The paper sucks and is not even a close replacement for Azo." Don't sounds like it is from a person who is serious about their...

Sorry should be torch light.

Hi Brian,
The Fomalux that I tried is matt Grade 2 paper. The subject was taken against a light box as background and the cactus and pot were lit by touch light for 4.5 minutes. Lens was set at...

Hi guys,
I just tried the Fomalux papers and I must say that I am impressed. Exposed for just under 40 seconds for a contrasty negative which give me ample time to do some dodging. I liked the...

OK guys. Cool it. I just want to find out more info on Fomalux papers and don't wish to cause a 'war' happening here, especially as a new comer. I will give these Fomalux papers a try and may order...

Hi,

Yes, Tim is right. The supplier website mention it is silver chloride. Will try it out later and see how it behaves.

Hi,
Unable to source azo papers in the UK. Found some eastern European contact papers made by Foma - Fomalux. Has anyone tried these papers before? I can't find much information on the net. Any...

Hi Kevin,

Yes, I think the light box is day light balanced fluorescent lights. I have spoilt quite a few papers before I was happy with the result (and chemicals too). Very tricky to use and...
