I'm glad I saw this post... I just bought a copy.
Very nice! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the link!
The CLS1840 is similar to that picture, except... only 1 cooling fan (the upper one), and the top sheet metal "lid" has no provision for an exhaust hose (no metal flange to connect the hose). The...
Thanks for posting!
RIP, Calder
A mechanical shutter is somewhat similar to a mechanical watch. A watchmaker will completely disassemble a watch, clean the individual parts in an ultrasonic bath, and finally inspect the parts for a...
Excellent, Emil. I always look forward to your images.
I would echo the advice on the strap wrench. Or, if the front element does not protrude from the barrel, simply set the front barrel down on a rubber sheet or something with friction, and press down...
X-Rite has replacement parts, but they tend to be expensive. You might be ahead to return the defective item, or at least ask for some compensation from the seller.
A big THANK YOU to all who keep this forum going!
For my third (and last) sink, I had it custom made by Cal Stainless, and I specified a heavier grade of stainless. It adds little to the overall cost, and the sink just feels heavier and seems to be...
I check-in every day... but don't post much.
I have made several Zone VI lensboards. They are simple sheet steel, about 18 gauge, and can be easily cut with tin snips and hand filed. Much cheaper than anything you can buy now or have made.
Very nice! Congrats!
I do the same, using a Kodak "bullet" safelight with a small bulb and an 87C filter, set to bounce off the wall behind me. The entire room is lit in a dim glow from a distant IR lamp, and I only use...
Outstanding work!
This is very sad news. I always enjoyed his articles in Darkroom Techniques magazine and his participation on APUG. I'll make a donation to WV Public Radio for him. RIP, Patrick.
You might try Dwyer Instruments (http://www.dwyer-inst.com/). I bought some plastic gas flowmeters about 10 years ago, and they continue to operate reliably.
That's what I was thinking! Awesome!
emh, I like this technique!
The available models in an early 1990's Gitzo catalog were much less than today's offering. The Sport, Reporter, Mountaineer and Studex, which only went to Series 3, all had the rubber collar on the...
I have an older G410, and it looks the same.
I was able to scrape off the particles, but the damage to the glass surface remained. In my case, the bubbles were light colored, and in bright light they would sparkle, and removing them helped...
I suspect that is exactly right. I have had glass damaged by welding sparks, and the only way I could minimize this damage was to gently scrape off the particle. I used a 10x microscope and a very...
Good luck, Bruce, and Thanks!
That's my experience, too. RIP Calumet.
A shop vac will work, but you MUST vent the exhaust outside. Even with double filters, a shop vac that vents the exhaust into the room will only stir up the dust. Attach a length of hose to the...
Wonderful article, Bernice! Thanks for posting this!
Emil, you do such interesting work! Are you considering another book with these recent images?
In addition to the three 120V circuits, consider one 240V 20A circuit. You might acquire something in the future that needs the higher voltage.
Another vote for the older Arca B2. With a heavy camera high above the axis, I only want one axis to adjust at a time.
That's exactly how I've configured my MacPro.
I have that exact camera, and I keep both standards on a 15cm rail, with a 40cm rail on the 50cm optical bench packed separately. Setup is fairly quick, just secure the optical bench to the head and...
Nice series! Thanks for posting these!
That's been my experience with Epson, too. They make excellent products, and then spoil it with very poor tech support.
The Imagon 420mm H5.8 lens has 3 diffusion disks, and all measure 98.0mm outside diameter (where it fits into the lens body).
On the H5.8-7.7 disk, the outer ring holes are 6.2mm, the inner ring...
