I know Ben and Justin have forged a path that will delight so many of you and camera's that will be passed from generation to generation. Its true that film sales will increase and new holders like...

My wife is a crafter & has used Tim Holtz archival ink pads on my sunset cotton velvet ( and canvas) prints with far better luck than Tea or coffee staining which she did years before. She likes...

Looking forward to my Travelwide. I found a viewer much like the on in Bens video but with no sharp edges like the one he is supplying with the camera on eBay for 32$ delivered to the states.
See....

Ben,

You have my pledge, it looks a lot easier then dragging out my TK45 and wandering. It looks well designed and hopefully will get thousands into LF.

My question is what is the throw or...

So Neal, What would you charge for the Circuit Board and Who's box did you design it for? PacTec is just down the street from my shop - any chance its one of theirs? I might get a few sample boxes...

Nate, great shot. Care to share your tilts appeture & such with us?

Jim, I applaud your work in this thread. Like so much of this great forum this is why I'm here, rediscovering our fore-fathers great strides.

But in reference to the fleaBay listing for the 1969...

Sergei,
Now that's Retro, and a good use of your Dorf.

I just went to the www.ADOX.de website under Art Series and it says (dated Sept, 1, 2012)

"1.9.2012:
Important notice: CHS films and ORTHO films have been manufactured by Fotokemika. Due to the...

Pretty good for the complete subject, light, lens, plate system

Here is a Daguerreotype of a stylish gent - that my wife found in a shop in Florida.

I have scanned this at 1200dpi and enlarged it to 13x

Thanks E, for that. I keep wondering what Goerz was doing with a lens type that made over many years yet never made any press release notice. The OP lens was about 1953 & this one 1948. It does...

Ok, so here's another that I bought from Bill Kemp, whose father worked for Goerz AO while it became part of Killmorgen (sp).

It's in like new shape, but SN indicates its older than the 5-1/2" in...

I really like this thread, nothing like throwing up some well crafted images intended for a large wall and limiting them to about 1500 pixels. It's as big a tease as some of those in the nude...

Sorry B, my Voigtlander Heiler 1:3.5 f=10,5cm sn 665714 (1930s?) covers 4x5 at infinity all day long. I really love it, now is it the older Heliar design or the Dynar I don't know and would like to. ...

I have & use a 165 dagor from CP Gorez Berlin in a barrel mount on a MP-4 shutter that is awesome. It and a 168mm dagor design were standard on their 9x12 (4x5" metric) Tenax & Manufroc cameras. When...

I enjoy and am humbled by all those works before me, so here is my attempt to capture a favorite tree. This was an experiment I have to post, it's taken under the canopy of a 300year old Live Oak....

Mealha, This I like. Great Shot, I love the eddy swirl and have never seen it captured so well.

Tell us more like exposure time, filters used and aperture...

I really like the Tesla system, the trunk monkey sounds good, but the P could start to develope the film. We had Rotwielers, but they wore out the springs in the old Saab that nobody got near. You...

I have a iPF8300 & love it. I got it just over a year ago and print fine velvet rag to canvas, eSatin, metalic, gloss & even Tyvek & they all look great. Prior to the 8300 I used Epson xx80 & had to...

Thanks Vinny, your right. I printed the full net here with no crop. When I print it again I will do it without as you suggest. Posts seem everywhere in my life.

Wonderful wonderful!

Now I know where I want to go -- every thing here is elegant; girl, flowers, technique treatment, wonderful.

A Florida Waterfall

Well, my first attempt at shooting a waterfall with LF and an ND filter.

All Comments Welcome,

Tony, great beach shot, where on the coast is that taken, IYDM.
Others, not all trees are dead in Florida. so while this is posted on "first shots" thread, here it is again.

Banyan Tree in Selby...

This is from my first batch, if not the exact first one, of large format in 30 years. All I had was the Super Angulon 65mm, shot about f22 in the late afternoon.
Taken wandering Selby Gardens...

Has anyone used APH-09 with ADOX CHS 50 (or Elfe 50) in 4x5?
I am wondering about dilution I should start with.
Shooting mainly landscapes & nature now with a little portrait work thrown in....

thanks, I'll check it out. might be tank.

Well, I have returned to large format after 30 year break. Love taking the time to capture the moment.

I have an old Horseman LS with both bellows and picked up a SA 65mm in a recessed board both...
