I backed the SP-8x10+ campaign even though 4x5 is the largest film I shoot and I already have (and love) the SP-455.

I'll use it with the 4x5 dividers. I like the dead simple loading and the...

Just in case it's not obvious, there are people like me with working TWs that will be interested in acquiring metal replacement parts to hold as spares until the need arises. I appreciate the effort...

The rolling stand bag looks to TSA like a travelling golf club bag, but the contents aren't golf clubs. So they open it to see what's up.

According to the B&H sale page, "The RC1038 Stand Bag has...

I've been using my Travelwide quite a bit this spring and the waxed focusing helicoid is operating smoothly, possibly better than when it was new. I don't have an experiment control to prove the...

Since the barrel of the focusing helicoid is exposed, I didn't want to use any lubricant that could rub off or stain anything that touched it. After a couple of days, my paste wax solution is...

I pulled my Travelwide out of the cabinet after a winter of not being used. The focus helicoil was extremely stiff, which hadn't been a problem before. It was movable, but with difficulty. I knew...

Yes, of course. I wasn't looking at my tank when I wrote that. The temperature probe must go through the fill cap and be sealed well enough for inversion agitation.

I had considered building something like this for myself.

My plan was to use something like the Vernier Go Direct temperature probe (when it becomes available, Spring 2017) mounted through the...

Okay. The FP-3000B at $17 is still a good deal.

I'm searching for it and don't see it. Can you provide a link?

No confusion here. The only thing that makes sense is to distribute as many cameras as possible at the pickup party, saving the shipping costs for that many cameras. Then start shipping the cameras...

I'm saddened by some of the comments I read at the kickstarter site and on their facebook page. Somebody wants a refund because of poor "customer service." Did they think they were shopping at an...

That's some nice craftsmanship. I'm especially impressed you were able to close off the windows like that in a reversible way.

The issue of makeup air comes up often in a high-end kitchen forum...

Ben, the update showed some nice example pinwide images. One was shot at 0.8 seconds exposure and the other at 1.2 seconds. They appear to be shot on 4x5 film, so I assume they were shot with the...

Would someone clarify whether they are using the fish huts for film-safe darkroom, paper safe, or wet plate safe?

Closed Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, OH. Shawshank Redemption was filmed there. Shot in available light with a small camera mounted fill in flash set a full stop lower than ambient light. ...

Me with my new Chamonix 8x10. The camera is a work of art unto itself.

The bottom line is that some bags or cases manufactured and sold under the Pelican name don't have the same level of workmanship and don't have the same warranty as the cases we normally associate...

I agree that I don't like to use a lot of force when tightening the attachment screw of the mounting plate. I use the 4" square Manfrotto plate and the large tightening knob can exert considerable...

Would you tell us more about your concerns?

Are you referring to the Manfrotto six-sided hex plates or the smaller rectangular plates?

It is important to make sure they are not only closed,...

I recently picked up the Bogen/Manfrotto 4" plate from Samy's Camera in LA. It was $30 + $6 shipping. I may have got their last one. It was NOS and the packaging was very shopworn, but the...

I agree with the assessment of the Paul Buff accessories. I have one of their soft boxes and it's not nearly as sturdy as my others. It works fine. I'm pretty gentle on my equipment anyway, but I...

I've been using the Paul C. Buff White Lightning monolights for several years. I have three x1600 lights I picked up used on craigslist and other local sales. They've been stellar, but they don't...
