  1. Re: Kodak 4X5 B&W to be packaged in 10 sheet boxes (only)?

    Clearly, Kodak's target market is students, and people who try large format for a day, shoot two film holders (forget to remove darkslide on one exposure, another double-exposed), and drop the idea...

    Re: Deardorff gone from eBay?

    Would be nice to see someone buy the stock and continue to sell parts. Buying the business usually means assuming all debts and obligations, right? That seems crazy in this situation.
  3. Re: Suggestions for Epson 7900 with totally clogged Green and Light Cyan heads...

    I had a badly clogged 3800 and let the print head sit on folded handiwipes soaked with windex. After two sessions of this, the head cleared completely.

    Re: Radar 12" F6.3?

    Right--my point is that if the Alphax doesn't reduce the maximum aperture, the Ilex shouldn't.

    Re: Radar 12" F6.3?

    Weird. An Ilex #5 has a 63mm maximum iris. Other 12" Radars mounted in #5 Alphax shutters have f/4.5 apertures and the Alphax has a 58mm maximum iris. Your should be f/4.5 despite the wonky marking.

    Re: Ebony Camera Going Out of Business?

    Funny, I just saw a fb post from someone who'd seen new Ebony Camera models in a meeting with the owner. Sad to see a maker of such fine cameras go out of business, if this ends up being true.
  10. Re: Which wood for a Chamonix F1 is better ... Teak or Maple?

    My Chamonix 8x10 is teak, and the wood is beautiful and very high quality. Also have a 4x5 in walnut, which is equally nice. Chamonix has high standards for the wood they use.
