  1. Re: Has anyone made a purchase through the Chamonix View Camera Instagram account

    I was sitting at the coffee shop with Marcos and the "mysterious unnamed founder/mountaineer/photographer" as they discussed some business deals. I've known Marcos for a number of years. He invited...
  2. Re: Has anyone made a purchase through the Chamonix View Camera Instagram account

    Nothing to do with Hugo, but he is absolutely affiliated with Chamonix. The IG account is not grey market. He has full blessing from Chamonix's owner to sell the cameras.
  3. Re: Has anyone made a purchase through the Chamonix View Camera Instagram account

    If it is Marcos that you are dealing with on IG, I can say that he is 100% legit and an upstanding guy. I've known him personally for many years.

    Re: Film Holder Material--slide

    I tried this and found that not seeing light with my eyes does not equate to light tight. Turns out film is more sensitive than my eyes ;)

    Re: 4x5 lenses: telephoto and portraiture

    Since it's a 300mm, it will be plenty bright even though it's f9 (I have one, love it) The brightness of a lens on ground glass is more affected by the angle of the light hitting it, so a 75mm f9...
  6. Re: Stearman Press 810 & Temperature Film Reticulation

    Reticulation looks like cracks, think dried mudbed, not likes stretches. And reticulation is really quite difficult to induce with modern films. I've done 15'C temp shifts and not been able to get it...

    There is no problem with blue, I was just curious.

  12. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    The problem I see with doing reversal is that the film base is not clear, its blue. So if the goal is to show the positive as the final image, it's not a B&W picture, but a mostly blue picture.

    I did this with a Chamonix and a fuji 135mm. It's slightly larger than 1:1, probably closer to 2:1

  16. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    I don't have a sp-445, but from what I gather, the film touches the holder on one side, or at least comes extremely close to doing so, correct? This spells disaster. I use a jobo tank that holds 6...

  18. Re: Question about flash photography with a Chamonix

    Do the flash/triggers have a PC sync? Are your lenses mounted in modern shutters with a PC sync? If so, then yes. It will work just fine.
  19. Re: Light leaks and possible film processing problems

    To me this doesn't look like a problem of having the film reversed. That tends to show up as overly orange shots. Could be developing related. You mention B's reel. What is that? Don't give up yet.
  20. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

  21. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    Haha that is exactly the film I used for my 4x5 shots. It worked just fine.
  22. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    Maybe I got lucky, but the wine bottle and flower shot were my FIRST attempt at this process. It's really not that difficult if you already have film photography down.
  23. Re: Has anyone here done three-color photography on B/W with a Speed Graphic or simil

    Here's my try at this. The pencils and hammer were 4x5 and the bottle and flowers were 35mm. Both using the same RGB filters. Just some cheap square ebay color filters with no markings or color...
  24. Re: Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

    Using that holder in the tray is not going to help you at all with scratching. The film will sag and still touch the bottom of the tray and it just adds extra steps (loading and unloading the holder)...

    In China, xray by traditional xray film is still king. Even at the "high end" western hospitals here in Beijing. I don't see it going away any time soon.

  35. Re: Computer hardware when editing large format files (100MP+)

    I highly disagree, for photo editing, 16 gb is more than enough. Recommending 64 as a minimum is absurd.

    Re: Thinking hard about taking the LF plunge.....

    If I sent my stuff out for processing, I'd be broke long before I learned anything. Developing is dead easy and you can shoot 5 times as much for the same costs. You'll learn much quicker.
