  1. Re: Travelling Tips for UK (Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, ...)

    Hi there! Just got the notification about a PM regarding this ooold thread here...

    Well, the trip has not happened... yet ;-) Shortly after my last posts in 2014, my girlfriend (now wife) got...

    Re: Does dust stick to film?

    I also let film warm up to room temperature, although not 12hrs - more like 2-3, since I store it at roughly 6°C.

    I always wipe my Photoflex tent with a moist-to-wet cloth, creating a humid...

    Re: Which developer for 4x5 B&W sheet film

    I'm totally happy with XTOL - easy to mix (I buy a 5l tank of distillated water and mix it right in the tank), long shelf life when stored in completely filled 1l bottles, use it 1:1 ( a friend...

    Thanks guys! Steven, your hint really makes me question our choice...maybe we should consider another time of the year.
    John, we also got blood sausage over here. I know what I have to avoid :-D
  7. Re: Travelling Tips for UK (Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, ...)

    Thank you, AlfaKen. I think we will be able to visit about 5 locations, otherwise the time for each one might be too short. So we will have to choose amongst all your suggestions :-) Perhaps we have...

    Hello fellow LF shooters,

    Re: Is Betterlight Still the Standard?

    I'd also consider sheet film and a drum scanner...4x5 should do it, 5x7 or 8x10 would be even better.
    Quite affordable (the hassle with lighting is the same for all), and you can have an exprienced...
  14. Re: What 4X5 folder with LOTS of rear shift other then KB Canham DLC?

    Do you mean the two metal pieces which secure the GG? I thought that Toyo uses the same concept?
  15. Re: What 4X5 folder with LOTS of rear shift other then KB Canham DLC?

    I think it is a question of convenience. If the OP means rear rise, it definitely makes sense.
    The TK has rear focussing, by the way.
  16. Re: What 4X5 folder with LOTS of rear shift other then KB Canham DLC?

    Kirk, it is considerably lighter than my MT 3000. The MT is more compact, the TK is thinner but a lot higher due to the monorail construction.
  17. Re: How do you juggle all the accessories while shooting LF?

    I carry everything* except the tripod in my LowePro ProTrekker 400AW. It's big, heavy, but extraordinary well protected and has even a better strap system than my technical mountaineering backpacks....
  18. Re: Recommendations for a winter 8x10 camera.

    Maybe you should also consider some snowshoes for your tripod, like the Manfrotto 230 set. These even make sense for 4x5 in muddy areas.
  19. Re: What 4X5 folder with LOTS of rear shift other then KB Canham DLC?

    Noah exactly describes how I feel about the combination of a MT and a TK. It is true that the direct movements (fall is great!) allow an extremely fast and reliable setup of the TK. I do prefer the...
  20. Re: What 4X5 folder with LOTS of rear shift other then KB Canham DLC?

    I would like to add that folding a TK isn't a hassle. It's done in less than 10 seconds if the bellows are removed (costs another 5 seconds), including setting all movements to zero.
  21. Re: What 4X5 folder with LOTS of rear shift other then KB Canham DLC?

    +2 - The Technikardan 45S folds compact, is rigid and lightweight. The movements are fantastic - except shift and rise/fall everything comes with zero detents.
    I prefer the folding of my MT 3000 (it...

    Re: how old are we?

    Almost 33, shooting LF since 2 years - started photography 20 years ago with a Minolta XD5 (borrowed from my father), then got my first camera on Christmas 1994 (Minolta X300s, still have it).

    Give VueScan a try, it is quite affordable and by far the best and most consistent scanning software on the market.
