Thank you for all your tips. I'm already looking forward to the trip and hope to find enough time for leisure.

@ Bob: Thank you for the link to John. The pictures actually show a very beautiful...

Hi all,

For professional reasons, I will soon be spending a few weeks in the Huntsville area.

I'm wondering if there is any of you in this area and if it's photographically worth it (landscape,...

I'd highly appreciate if those who received the PDF from me reply to this thread and also offer their service...

Is XTOL still the benchmark for most of you?

I am looking for a developer that is of low toxicity (XTOL or better), comes as a liquid concentrate (don't like mixing from powder due to health...

Bob, thanks for your reply. I already have that head but found it still helpful though.

I further consider customer service better with Linhof.


Bob, the head comes greased by factory....

Take a look on Linhof's Micro 3D. I used my 7x17 (450mm) on this head without issues.

Send me a PN with your mail-address and I will send you the owner's manual as PDF.

Rick,

Thanks for providing an insight into the reasoning. Unfortunately, I am still of the opinion that the changes are a tad too restrictive and don't turn this part of the otherwise great forum...

You may relocate to Europe? 1 Gbit symmetrical (up/down) without artificial limitations (rarely less than 900 Mbit @ speedtests). Annual fee: USD 800.
;-)

I received my order in late September. I am located in Europe though.

In case you need fresh FP4+ in 4x10, leave me a message via PM.

Is LFN only referring to EDWAL LFN or is it a general term? What is LFN chemically?

Dimitri, I have/had a similar problems using XTOL that ruined a whole batch of negatives:...

I use a Gitzo Systematic GT3532S with 75mm levelling base (or the center column) and a Linhof Micro 3D from 6x7 all the way up to 7x17. Although it isn't the strongest tripod available from Gitzo, it...

What is a 578?

Yepp, let's get back to showing 6x17 images...

Linhof 617 | Apo 180 | Kodak Portra 160

Looking forward to seeing the results (and scans) of others ;-)

Plenty. Please find one of the samples below.

Heidelberg Tango

I took a photomicrograph (200x) of group 6 and 7 of the latest batch of Silverfast targets:

The Tango features 25 apertures that can't be directly selected by the operator but are chosen by the scanner based on the scan settings. By selecting aperture setting -5 and a resolution in the...

Looking forward to receiving the new edition (978-1138959187, paper version). It will take two weeks according to buch7.de.

I performed a few test runs and determined a maximum resolution of about 4000 dpi for my Tango. Considering that it was marketed to up to 11000 dpi, this is on the low side. On the other hand, 4000...

I tried processing in a tray (bought in Switzerland) but scratched the hell out of the negatives (I even failed at brush development). It was frustrating. FP4+ seems to be very vulnerable on its base...

Has anyone ever tried/succeeded to cut down film within a Harrison changing tent? I have the Jumbo-version and am tinkering with the idea of cutting 4x10 from 8x10.

Sandy: Did you perform resolution tests with your drum scanner?

Lasersoft Imaging aka Silverfast sells them.

Yes, that's why I always scan at -5.

For those who don't have a Tango and would like to see how a scan at 11000 dpi (aperture -5) looks like:

I performed another run in order to check if varying the parameters <Scale> and <Output Resolution> while maintaining <Scale> x <Output Resolution> = constant effects image quality. Aperture 0 this...

Sergey,

Thank you very much for your response.

A year ago you stated that the Tango's IQ is also depending on the selected scale and output resolution:



As I am still looking for maximum...

@ georgl: Please consider post #37 within this thread in order to get rid of any sharpening. I attached a comparison between NewColor (Mac) and Silverfast for negative and positive mode. As per...

Ryan, sourcing from the US might not be as attractive as you think (75-50% cheaper). Please find an example below:

Kodak TMY 8x10 box of 10 sheet

B&H

USD 105
= 93 EUR
+ VAT (+19% Germany*)...

As others have stated, I'd also bring the film with me (carry-on) or buy it locally, e.g. purchase it at a European dealer and have it shipped to a place of yours (e.g. hotel).



Price highly...

Let's meet :)

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread. I just came across an in-depth test of the Micro 3D and would like to share it (unfortunately in German, Google-translate may be your friend) with you (plenty...

DireStudio states for Viewfinder Pro: "New iOS devices introduced since 2014 (such as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus) are not and will not be supported with this app." Thus if you have a new...

Looking forward to putting it through its paces.

This camera is SOOO gorgeous. It's the same as it is with watches: You need to have more than one ;-)

I know the feeling :-)

Although I'd prefer to have "something" like this App without the need for an electronic device - I always come back using it. Together with other Apps it even helps to simulate the effect of...

Chamonix 45-N2 | Nikkor-M 200 | Ilford FP4+

My latest addi(c)tion: The Chamonix 4x10 and Rodenstock Apo Sironar-S 210. This was a tough decision... I was looking for more flexibility than my 617 and greater portability than my 7x17. Voilà.

Harrison Pup Tent is fine for 4x5 and still works up to 4x10. This size is on sale at Arri Rental at the moment - just make sure you get a decent one as they degrade over time.

Randy, the answer to your question is just an email to Alan away ;-)
