Many of us have gone down the same road apparently. Here's the receipt for my purchase in '94 from MPX. Jim had just gotten it in and the the bellows were leaky so he let it go for $725. The gearing...

lovely image, Brian. It would be nice to see larger.
Excellent shot, Nathan.

I couldn't resist taking a shot with my 4x5 as I watched my cohort struggling with the wind in the middle of the road....

3/8" and 1/4" holes are provided to enable you to use different tripods without having to use a bushing. You can use just one of the bolts on your plate and the F1 will be held quite firmly IMO.

Excellent shot, Pflitz.
The 210mm is a popular favorite, giving a nice depiction of facial dimensions along with a manageable depth of field. Longer lenses are more challenging to focus, shorter lenses will sometimes make...
Excellent shooting as well. Not easy to get good compositions with wide angle close ups in large format.
Haven't read the whole thread, but didn't notice any mention of "flash testing" which is fairly crucial to determining if your development is nice and smooth across the whole negative. You can...
I agree with Tim's suggestion. I made a couple of cut slides for my Deardorff before realizing the back had slots where cardboard could be inserted to accomplish the same effect with way less...
Its also worth noting that nearly all of his big selling masterpieces were created within a fairly concise period of time, virtually none being taken after he turned 50. But this is true of many...
You're not doomed, but its upsetting to go to all that trouble with 8x10 only to have a potentially great shot ruined. You may not have the patience to go forever losing shots like crazy. One must...
Your thought is based in kindness, but after meeting this guy I'm inclined to think he rather values his privacy and wasn't looking for recognition, surprisingly enough. I gave he and his wife a hug,...
Well, the saga has concluded with my successful retrieval of basically all of the lost camera equipment. There's still some items missing, clothing, blanket, canon digital camera (cheap), but nothing...
That makes about 10 of us.
Its not often that you get an awakening like this without suffering the full penalty. I don't want to tempt Murphy's Law and get too happy before I have the stuff back in...
I'm feeling pretty lucky this week. There's been some good news regarding my theft incident, which is that somebody found my stolen camera equipment, a guy who's truck was stolen and then recovered....
Beautiful work, Jim.
Thanks again for your support and sympathy friends. At this point I've called all the likely shops and checked craigslist finding nothing. Its depressing whenever I let my mind wander over all the...
Thanks for your condolences. I appreciate the sentiments and suggestions.
Lots of thoughts in the aftermath about what I'd do differently. One thing I've noted is that the loss has a personal...
To my dismay, I had my 4x5 outfit stolen out of my trunk while staying at a motel in Medford, Oregon last Tuesday night. I'm kicking myself now because I could've taken it to the room but I already...
Maybe a little more saturation but its quite nice as it is.
Great shot Jim. Lots of intriguing shapes.
Nice work Daniel.
I should've said "I don't agree with" not posting, rather than not understanding. Not everyone needs to ride the same train, but if we're talking about a certain train, those that have ridden it...
Manufacturer's instructions should not be ignored, nor should they be regarded as gospel. There are many variables that may not have been at play when the manufacturer did his testing. The serious...
I've posted this opinion before, but I can't understand how someone can post suggestions that suggest a level of expertise, and then refuse to show any work here or on a personal website. Its the...
Wonderful shot of the window, Merg. I'm strongly reminded of Brett Weston, who's work I saw a lot of when my parents lived in Pebble Beach. I understand you had some nice associations with that...
Thanks Harley, Ghostcount, Jim and Curt. The dramatic skies were obviously a big factor in the success I had that day.
There has been some wonderful images posted on this thread. These were taken in July 2010

These last two are great shots, Harley.
There are programs such as enfuse or photomatix that are good at combining images of the same subject shot at different exposures. They also work with scans of an image, so you can scan a contrasty...
Thanks Ian and Chassis, I appreciate your comments.

How old are your holders? The felt that's inside can wear out and light will get in if you leave the dark slide out for a while. Light can also get in if you're not careful during removal or...
Kudos to you for taking up this battle. Clearly, there's a disturbing trend towards abuse of creative property rights these days. I'm curious about how you've been able to track down those using your...
When I became a member, I chose a pseudonym simply because I didn't know much about the group and it seemed wise to be cautious. I've seen criticism about this and attempted to change it but have not...
An arresting composition, Jim. One gets drawn in.
