These are nice looking. I do a fair amount of wood work and I have looked at tailboard large format cameras in the past. I would like to find a set of plans on-line to try building myself.
Love to try some but I don't do Paypal.
Only in the movies.
I do not have what I would call a lens "kit" for my cameras. I guess I never really thought about it. When I find a lens I like I tend to stay with it for quite awhile unless something better pops...
I develop by rotation quite often but I usually do it by hand so I can control the rate of rotation. I rarely use the Jobo itself unless I am developing color film. At the price of large format color...
I thought I recognized Denise Ross's name. I do have one of her books. Its' volume 1: the basics. I even have a bottle of silver nitrate that I bought around the time I bought the book.
This...
On its way.
Thanks; This is one of the things that is on my short list to try out but I think I'll wait for summer to arrive before I give it a shot. I picked up a book titled "Primitive Photography" a while...
Not me!!
I am reading up on wet plate and that even sounds like a huge challenge. I certainly don't have what I need for that but it is intriguing. Gives you a whole different level of respect for...
Oh I agree with you 100%. My shock would not have been as much if I had been tracking the cost of film on a regular basis so a large portion of this is on me.
I rarely buy those other things you...
I have read several examples where professionals have moved to digital. If I were a pro and making money I would likely have done the same. I own a Sigma DP1 Merrill that does a terrific job so I can...
I tried x-ray once as well as some Ortho Litho. Still have some of the Ortho Litho lying around somewhere. I was never able to master them though. To be fair I probably could have tried harder.
I...
I do like TMAX films and shoot a lot of it in 35mm but I learned a long time ago that I could not afford to use it in 8x10 sheets very often if I intended to eat at the same time.
A few years back I did some 8x10 portraits at our little, local, Art in the Park event. I did it only one day and still used over 60 sheets of film. I could see someone who does that for a living...
Hmm. Never thought of that. I did try some of Jason Lane's glass dry plates but that certainly was not a savings; although it was a lot of fun.
Yes. I will have to learn to be a bit more deliberate in my approach to photography.
i read what some of you post about your hiking trips with backpacks and large format equipment with great...
Thanks for the heads up on the short date special. I have put in an order on a box of 50. That will help keep me going for a bit longer until I can sell a few things.
$200 for 10 sheets is way out...
You will have to pardon me as I have just found out how clueless I have been lately.
I have been working on a stash of 8x10 sheet film that was purchased several years ago and stored in my little...
I have a similar enlarger made by Kodak for the Brownie negatives that I found at a yard sale. I have never tried it but I guess I need to.
If I have no immediate plans to return to a location then large format is my choice though I personally prefer 8x10. I always carry a 35mm on those trips as well.
If this is a scouting trip or I...
I don't want to use an enlarger?
(sorry, Tin Can beat me to it. :D)
I contact print the 8x10 negative onto RC VC paper using a contact print frame and a light in my bathroom. Develop the print in the bathtub and then scan the print. Once you get started it is...
Mine looks just like the one in the picture at the top and fires with authority using bulb and hose.
I have never tried mine at 50 feet but it fires very consistently at 20 feet. 1/30 seconds for any lens I want to use it with.
I love TMX100 when I feel flush. It is almost always on my Christmas and Birthday lists.
But the rest of the time it is Ilford HP5+ which I have stored up over the years.
When that runs out...
I use a Packard with my 500mm meniscus lens. Works quite well. When you only have instant and time available then choosing your shutter speed becomes real easy. :D
A Nikkor M 450mm f9 in a Copal 3 shutter is an option. I think the Goerz 19" Apo Artar is also in a Copal 3 shutter. These are big shutters but I believe they do cover 11x14.
It appears that my film holders fit the ANSI standard for 11x14 film holders almost exactly. I took the specs from this Photrio post. https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/ansi-specifications.73096/
Thanks Dan. Never tried wide angle on mine. I do have a 10 inch telephoto that works, and of course the 127mm Ektar, so I thought it might work.
EDIT - Of course that 10 inch telephoto may be for...
I'll try to get a couple of pictures by tomorrow. Have to find my digital camera.
The width of each holder is 12 7/8" wide and 16" long (or deep) from the bottom of the holder to the locating...
Graflex made 2x3 Graflex and Speed Graphic cameras that easily accommodated different, interchangeable lenses.
For what it is worth my poor old Conley No 1 8x10 allows my to slide the rear standard forward so you don't see the front rails with a wide angle. It is a bit loosey goosey now so it takes some care...
Like Mark Sampson says, everyone has their opinion. Intrepid has a great new 8x10 that is very portable. Very reasonable prices as well. I own a 4x5 Intrepid that I absolutely love and am using...
I was lucky. I bought mine several years ago and it came with three film holders so I had what I needed to start. I am using Ilford film (HP5+ and FP4) that I have picked up in their ULF Sale every...
Lots of good information for me to sort through. Thanks a lot.
Just a point of interest. I'll be out in the field scouting the elk for the next couple of days so will be off line. Don't want...
Well I have searched what I can on-line and it seems the only 300mm lens I currently own that may cover 11x14 is that Dagor. Fortunately I do have some time to test it and find out if it works.
I...
Wow. Lots of info. Thanks everyone.
I am still digging into the old lens stash but right now I am looking at an Ilex Paragon Anastigmat 12 inch f6.3 in an old Ilex Acme #4 shutter and a Goerz...
That is an interesting thought. I do shoot the Cambo with a 90mm or 135mm occasionally. I have a few 300mm lenses but I honestly don't know which ones would cover 11x14. I will need to do a bit of...
I have been working almost exclusively with my 4x5 Monorail for the last several months but this afternoon I pulled out my 11x14 Century and dusted it off. I am seriously thinking of doing some...
