Kirk Gittings nailed it. Please make that lack of civility go away. Please.

Best regards,

Brian -

The question's ok - but possible responders would need to know the area you live near, in order to give any kind of reply.

Best regards,

Thank you, John.

The more nitty-gritty posts about your past photographic experiences I read, the more of those experiences I want to read - and in as much detail as you are willing to reveal.

Serge-
Get your measuring tape out; it helps sometimes when you are trying to make sense of how advertised rail lengths are expressed versus what the usable length is. The standard black Sinar...

Thanks to all responders.

Anne, I think you hit the bullseye with Clearsnap. They show something on their web site called "Ancient Age" archival ink. It will probably do the trick. Many colors....

I've searched the archives, but am coming up short on some of the answers I need. Assuming that use of a custom rubber stamp, combined with some type of archival ink to stamp the backs of either...

Nice setup, Austin. Bob Carnie nailed it. That's the most honest Statement I've had the pleasure of reading in some time. The website is very easy to navigate. What software did you find useful in...

Darcy,

The link isn't working.

What Paul Owen said. In very large type.

Hi Don,

"Fun" can take many forms. My passions seem to include an admiration for precision machinery, and the P-2 was as close as I could get to finding a large format camera that would also adapt...

Hi, Ben

The Sinar P-2, either 4X5 or 5X7, will fit into a Lowe-Pro Super-TrekkerAW 11. The fit is a bit 'cleaner' - more compact, more tidy, if the standards, standard bearers, etc, are installed...

Here's a question or three for Eric:

What size stamp are you using? Where can the ink be purchased? Is it archival?

Thanks.

Hogarth,

I enjoyed reading your explanation. Very well done. Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi, Chris,

Good info - I'll accept it in total as an informed viewpoint. You also brought up something that I might have expressed as "Question #4: Could you or other participating respondents...

I am thinking of assembling my Fiji Crystal Archive prints into two bound books - ten prints in horizontal format, ten prints in vertical format, to be used as a gallery presentation tool.

Hi, Leigh,

I'm a bit confused about what components you are using - but perhaps my own recent attempts to re-invent the Lee Filter System I've been using for years could help you figure a way out...

Re: Leonard Evens: Yes.

Usually the winds really honk in the Mojave Desert areas that form so much of Southern California this time of the year. Maybe I've been fortunate, but the winds have been...

Hi Tom

Check out LowePro's web site for their new AW Super-Trekker II. I'm using it to carry a Sinar P-2 5X7 with 2 bellows and all else one lugs into the outback. Should be close to what you're...

Thanks, Michael, for the most succinct explanation of this topic that has appeared on any of these large format forums for some time. This is an archive keeper.

Best regards,

Hi Don,

There are two areas to set up a tent - two separate campsites just across the road from Furnace Creek, and one well north, just short of Uhebehe Crater, at Mesquite Flats.

You can also...

Hi Jason,

Vignetting caused by adding anything to the front of any lens is guaranteed to drive you nuts. My personal solution was to go really wide - 95mm - with step-up rings on all my lenses....

Thank you for all your responses. I just dropped off some 5X7 T-Max at dr5. I'll see the results of my efforts tomorrow. David Wood is still unpacking from the New York move - but has everything up...

The firm 'dr5' in Los Angeles offers a "Black and white transparency process from standard black and white film." Have any of you folks used dr5 and/or the process that leads to a black and white...

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the tip on Freestyle. I've ordered the Arista 125 in 120 and 5X7 and will give it some shots.

Should I be able to make acceptable 16X20 prints with the Plus-X I've shot in...

What firms are now offering to print from a b+w scan using either of the above-mentioned (or similar) equipment? I like my prints on glossy. I like the look of conventional darkroom prints. I've seen...

Hi folks,

I want to thank all of you for your considered responses. I, too, am thinking that Efke 100 may be a replacement possibility. To that end, I ordered a few rolls of 120 from J&C in...

Can anyone on this forum provide a source for 5X7 Plus-X sheet film?

I've tried: Badger. Nope. B+H. Nope. J+C. Nope. Calumet. Nope. ...

Good points, Michael. I have also been thinking along these lines. My biggest concern, and the one that returns me to the quest, is the more extensive availibility of 120 transparency film versus...

Its been about a year since KB Canham introduced the 6X17 rollfilm back for his 5X7 camera. Like many others who would like to shoot in that format, I had been hoping compatibility data would slowly...

Hi, Jim

Congratulations on your upcoming show. I can only imagine how good you must feel right now.

Will any of your White Mountain images be on display? Or is the mix strictly limited to...

I can possibly help. I have 4x5 transparencies I can post to you. Mostly some ex tra shots of the Bristlecone Pines in the White Mountains, or a scenic or 2 of the Sierra Nev ada Mountains here in...

Hey, gus/gals, We need a TON more data on the best 4x5 scanners on the market. Questions: Scann ing times with maximum resolution. How much ram is going to be neccessary - what is the worst ...

Theo, I've been using the Bogen/Manfrotto (New is now Manfrotto) 410 geared head for years. Just purchased another one, as the original developed a bit of play somewhere wi thin the gearing. It...
