Well shame on me.. i should have known there are builds on youse tube lol that help a lot.
I do seem to recall some available info on where the film plane should in relation to the GG, probably saw it here.
I was thinking of keeping the Patina on the Brass.
At least for now.
As for a film back, I’m not knowledgeable enough about where the film plane should be.
I don’t really even have a starting...
I got mad at my life one day.. deleted practically everything
The Bellows are workable - somewhat repairable.
Will be my goal this year.
Most needed/missing will be a film back.

Let me say, that sometimes motivation, and the desire to do better comes in many forms.
For one, recently my Son was Married. For a lens and Camera, I had a D300 and a old 28-105 Nikon lens. As a...
GAS is an OCD based behaviour. In a fit of "I suck as a photographer-dark depression-misery on me" had given it all up. Sold off my Toyo..lenses...

very interesting replies, thanks. I would love to see pics of your Cameras and the backs you made for them.
I have inquired to Star Cameras for a wetplate back setup. Not inexpensive, their but...
Some pieces of Wood are stamped '99'.
Could not resist the force! Not for $30 anyway.
I think it stands a good chance of eventually taking photographs.
Biggest obstacle will be a film holder, as it is missing.
The raw opening in...
well there is a 35mm bit available at your Lowes/Home Depot. so that's fine for a Copal 0.
Welcome, dont forget to hang out with the film guys at nikoncafe, I see you are a member there, as I. :D
thanks, I think its about 12%. recipe from Chris James book, Zoe Zimmerman section.
I found the brushing on of the Silver Nitrate the hardest part. this one I brushed on 3 coats, drying in between each one.
I did not have enough solution made up, to pour into a tray and float. I...

That "powder in a zip lock bag packaging" should be quite interesting to any one who sees it, (and they will) and well, you may be "detained" a Looooooonnnggg time before they can determine it is...
looks very nice :)
Point well taken, Liz. When I am at the Bull riding arena, they are practicing. Meaning I am around the chutes, etc., and with my 35mm, I prefer the action of the arena area, better than the actual...
Looks nice, Darr; I dont mind at all, I'm flattered actually :)

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. Always open to critic and help.
It was my intention to use white seamless paper for a background, in a location where the sunlight hit the paper.... But the...

The first 6 were all together, in single reel Jobo tank. After developing, it was a nice dark brown color. Film was washed.
Also the used Developer sat out in a graduate for another 15-20 minutes...
beg borrow or steal some strobes ?
makes me glad I read a little blurb about "min of 75ml per 4x5 sheet"... guess I should have read a little further into that statement.
The good thing is, there is always a chance I can redo the...
Perhaps, I just found out that 500ml of Pyrocat HD.....is good for 6 sheets and no more.
After I developed the 6 sheets of 4x5, I reused the Developer for 4 more sheets.
they came out...
that way I see it, is you need to get on Craigslist, and find a girlfriend with an 8x10 enlarger......
