thanks; that is the way it is now, however, there are scratch marks on both sides of the fresnel from film holders, so i guess it was switched around at some point. Anyway, can i replace this fresnel?
I have a basic question: i own a speed graphic with a serial number of 977422. It came with a fresnel when i bought it at an antique shop. Is this fresnel the Ektalite ones from Kodak?
I am wondering how to know how to decide which of the very crudley and cheaply created "notches" in the height adjusters in the Epson V850 4x5 negative holder to use? I am scanning black and white...
It doesn't smell at all- its like salt glued to the bottom. Someone from the Formulary got back to me and said it was most likely Calcium Carbonate. I did manage to get rid of it with a combination...
i tray process my 4x5 and have been using photographers formulary T-5 fixer. i left the fixer in the tray for a few days and now theres this whitish rough deposit on the tray, very very difficult to...
its an Epson V850 pro, about 3 years old.
I'm having this recurring issue with a blue line that appears when i scan my bw negative film. It never happens when i scan a document. I have cleaned all surfaces, including the calibration area...
i am currently working on my archives, and i use Hollinger grey drop front boxes for contacts, which works fine. I would like to add my proof prints to the same shelf, along with the contacts and the...
Can anyone tell me that these scanning fluids are indeed safe for black and white negatives? Do they leave any haze or scum? What about long term affects?
Recently, i noticed something with Print file negative pages. I use the 4x5 ones and i have spent countless hours experimenting with the right pen to mark them so the information will show up on the...
thanks for all of the great ideas- i will definitely look into them! The reason for a real screwdriver is that my linhof karden is a bit heavy and i find that the plate does seem to loosen from time...
i was wondering if anyone has come across a snubby size screwdriver that really fits the 1/4/20 slotted screws in Sachtler quick release plates, instead of using a coin to attach or remove them? I...
thanks for all of the good ideas and direction to go in!
that sounds great and i appreciate that info, but i dont have proofs to scan yet. I want to scan negs still in their printfile sleeves. I have labeled the printfile and the scan would contain that...
Bob, I dont have everything; i was looking for some ideas and thoughts before i bought all the parts to it only to find out it doesnt work.
Has anyone tried scanning 4x5 negatives still in their printfile pages? I own an Epson V850 and it only scans one or two negs at a time. What i want to do is scan all 4 on a page at once, then make a...
I have an Epson V850 scanner. I do have photoshop. I am not familiar with GIMP but looked at their site. How would this differ from photoshop and would one be better?Why?
hi everyone,
I need to create the standard looking darkroom contact sheet as it would look if you used Print File page and a place to enter information on top. The trick is I want to do this...
Thanks everyone; there are some good ideas here!
hello,
I am currently working on scanning my negatives and producing laser color proof prints. The final prints would be done at a later time; these prints are solely for review. There will be...
I was wondering if anyone had any experience shooting large format at Greewood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. On a recent trip there, the literature states no "professional" photography, i.e., stands or...
thanks so much for the helpful ideas!
Hello,
I have an old Darlot Paris Single View Lens that has the rotating f/stop wheel, but no numbers indicating what f/stop they are. Any ideas as to how to determine this?
thanks
hello,
I have a very old Darlot Paris Single View lens that has a rotating disc of stops but no markings on them at all. How could I determine what f/stops these holes represent?
thanks
thanks Dan; i forgot about them. I will give them a call.
I would like to my lenses (now on linhof kardan 6" flat boards) on a used Speed Graphic. My thought was to obtain a linhof board that has an adapter to accept Speed graphic boards, and then mount my...
I dont know what the current status of this issue is, but dont forget that the city doesn't like seeing tripods in general. There were some laws passed in NYC a few years ago that required shooting...
I was mocked only once in over 40 years because of my 4x5. These days with digitial so mainstream, most people don't think I am photographing in the first place. I have heard theories from passerbys...
Bob, Can I bring it to Nippon Photoclinic?
I purchased a digital depth gauge to check the ground glass in my Linhof Kardan Color 45s monorail 4x5 camera. My question is where do I rest the gauge? There is a ridge around the edge of the image...
Hello,
I have intermittently experienced a change in the surface of the base on Ilford HP5 4x5 film. Instead of it being very glossy, there appears to be an almost matte surface. Its very...
thanks jon and mike; your ideas worked!
Every time I scan a gelatin silver print, the high values tend to break up; the original print is very even in tone in those areas. Also, I get white lines that are parallel to the image, which is...
I've used a Linhof Karden 45s since 1976 and I love it; they are very well made and it always comes through for me. The two things that are important are the bellows, which has been already mentioned...
thanks for all of the great ideas; I will definitely look into them.
Has anyone seen a camera case/bag that will convert to wearing it like a backpack? I personally don't like backpacks for carrying a field camera. I mainly use a monorail camera, so I am used to a box...
thanks Dan; I didn't think of Grimes!
I work primarily with a Linhof Karden Color 45 s which takes the flat 6" boards. I also use a Speed Graphic. What I would like to do is have my 150mm lens mounted onto the Speed Graphic board and...
I am only speaking from personal experience and interests; I don't know what you are looking for. I lived in Maine for 2 years, and I would go to Eastport every year, which is on the bay between the...
