Don, I can probably help you with this. I've made a few odd flanges for members here. PM or email me if you want.

If it was mine, I'd pass on RAID and go for a couple of big fast drives and use one to run on and the other for back-up. Simple. Simple is good = less failure. Then maybe add an external for...

Good for you, Brian.
I'd love to see those pictures in person.

I think you may be correct!

I'm not completely clear on your questions, but I'll have a go at it.
Each card is usually intended to run one monitor. The connector you choose -might- have something to do with some functionality...

When you read something on the internet it may not be directed at you personally. In fact it is fairly likely that the person writing has no idea what you are wearing, how many tats or piercings you...

Hey you kids!
GET OFF MY LAWN!


"this move by Adobe, has me about to purchase cs6. My college has cs6 extended for 169. If I choose student subscription at 20/month I'll pay more in only 9...

Not a personal attack at all. And I am not familiar with your work, but I'll take your word for it that you do "damned good work". And you're probably a nice guy, so there. ;>)

But I do strongly...

You left out the part about where you're wearing your ironic heavy plastic framed nerd glasses and skinny black hipster jeans. Otherwise you got it right.

Ha! Good luck with this.

Just wait until you pull down a release that's broken and you need to do some work and deliver product right away. Taking a client's money to do a job on a schedule that...

I've been using PS since version 1. That means I've sunk a bunch of money with Adobe over the years and that I made that money and a little left over with their tools. I think its always been pricey,...

Thanks for doing this and generally for moderating the forum.
I can a see a whole bucket of worms opening up for you but good on you for doing it.

I can see "Joe sold me a broken widget but told...

Full of life!

Use the same amount of stock developer and put twice as much water in the tray. By doing so, you maintain enough stock developer to do the work.

Slow down.

Burning through film won't get you anything but lighter in the wallet. You need to do a simple test. This is not rocket science but you do need to be consistent and careful or your...

That is a really nice looking camera.
Good work!

Good job!

It is possible to peen the male part of the slide to tighten it up. The other method is to make a new male part oversize, then cut the old female part to fit. Its pretty tedious and I wonder if its...

Sevo has it right and it would benefit you to pay attention to what he wrote.
If you have stains or residue on your counters, sink and other equipment, its most likely because you're not cleaning...

No, that is absolutely not true.
If you post something on the net you certainly should not be surprised when someone steals your material but that does not make it right and it does not mean you are...

I think we agree on this. What I'm getting at is that getting to a "xerox" is basic craft and is tied to a well learned and controlled process. The "art" part comes afterwards. Trying to make "art"...

Once you get your exposure and development process nailed you can skip any kind of strip test - the first print is your test. Then the Smith flanking method (referenced earlier in this thread) really...

Yeah, you're right. But the moves won't happen at the film plane and will be practically unusable.

You don't find much because its an answer to a question not many have asked. There is no commercial use for what you want to do and very little for MF backs on view cameras. I'd bet 99% of...

I think a 4x5 conversion will certainly disappoint. It'll only allow use of too much longer lenses and then not nearly precise enough movements for the relatively tiny little sensor. Its a loosing...

Hi Ed,
Set up your camera (most likely you'll be in one corner or the other) and set up your light right by the camera with an open reflector, but higher than the camera and pointed into the corner...

Daniel! Did you steal my clamp?
Yours looks just like the one I used.

The camera will work fine if you let it.
And the clamp is more for the peace of mind of the operator rather than a mandatory...

I used the spring clip that held my dark cloth in place to take some of the wiggle out of the back. And on any old view camera, the bellows is always suspect. You might want to search for an owners...

This is absolutely true. And to go further, more often than not a strongly worded letter will make most infringements stop immediately.

The worry I have is that small fry, like probably everyone...

Epic thread and a great exhibition of photography skill.

Excellent work, Mark!

It's not green in Formulary 130 and hasn't been. Ilford in Dektol always looked bad to me because of the greenish cast.

Is this your direct personal experience or just a re-hash of readings from the internet?
Many have had entirely positive experiences with Xtol and have been using it for years and years.
Its not...

Saunders for sure at a similar price.
I'd pick the Saunders even if its a good bit higher.

Hi Ed,

Can you supply a link?

Nice work.
I've been thinking about making one for my Ebony.

Take the glass out and wash it in water and dish washing soap, rinse, dry and install.

Use the lasso tool at 100 or 200% view to refine your selection as shown, save the selection, then copy it to another layer. Go back to the base layer and use your saved selection to select the same...

You need 100 ml stock Xtol per 80 square inches, not 100 ml per 4x5 sheet (20 square inches). Definitely increase dilution to give at least 8 minutes in the developer. I'd even go to 1:3 which should...
