90mm Schneider, Kodak Ektar film
Thanks Andrew. Related to the fresnel's position, on which side of the GG would you use it? I can read some people place it between the lens and GG, which apparently can affect focusing, while others...
I have been using LF for a couple of years now, but still am having trouble understanding what do some photographers use fresnels for?
I did a lot of searching around, but all i can find is stuff...
Anyone used this recipe? I've tried a search but no results. Thanks!
The tubes are great. Just got a couple myself a few weeks ago, and seriously simplified my processing & time in the darkroom. Not using gloves any more, since you barely need to touch the chemicals...
Doesn't that scratch the emulsion?
Anyway, i'm still experimenting. I just found a 2$ coffee mug with a water tight cap, and apparently it can easily fit 2 sheets leaning on the walls, so i'll...
Jay, not sure what you mean by 'brush' development.
On the same topic, suppose i get a tank: either a standing tank like the Yankee, or a rotating tank like the Jobo 2520, or even a home-made BTZS-like tube. Question is: can i do all the steps...

Really appreciate your responses Brian.
Thanks for that, your reply is really helpful. A couple more for anyone willing to respond:
The emulsion side, as far as i know, is the side you are seing when holding the film with the notch...
That's exactly what i started with too, a Shenhao & 90mm lens, still using them successfully today. Its a good quality entry kit. Go for it!
Hi guys, i'm also an amateur in 4x5" but are quite familiar with the usual routine of processing. However there's many things that i still wonder about, usually stuff outside my routine which still...
Indeed for this sheet i only rotated the tray, not really touching the sheet itself. Wasnt sure what to do with the sheet really..
Just to let everybody know this is my first developed sheet based on what i learned from this topic, its not much of a picture but the process worked :)
How long do you usually keep the negs in...
So, im getting closer to my first test processing. I bought the cheapest plastic food containers, which are square and roughly 30% bigger than a 4x5 sheet, and some Foma chemicals. I will do one...
As Brian suggested i improvised a talking timer by recording my own voice on the phone. That's a good trick! :)
Here's another question: how i am supposed to read the thermometer in the dark? is...
Thank you guys your replies are really helpful. I think im gonna buy some cheap chemicals first to give it a go. Is the stop bath mandatory for basic development, or i can do without? I think i read...
Hi all.
I am interested in doing my own b/w processing, however would need your advice before buying some stuff and doing my first tests.
While searching the forum i get the most popular methods...
Hello everybody,
Im looking for a place to order good (no pvc) sleeves for 4x5" sheet storage.
Similar to this or this, but has to be in Europe since that overseas shipping is a killer :)
...
nothing special about my first 4x5.. i am just happy about it, turned out better than i expected
Thanks, i figured it out. It is pretty obvious once you get used to the camera movements.
Johnny: if you do come to Romania, PM me a week ahead, and we'll do a trip together, i know a lot of good...
I am just starting with LF and got these 2 items, however i cant really focus the lens good enough even with the bellows completely retracted. Am i doing something wrong, or am i supposed to get a...
Writing from Romania, where both formats are being sold by different retailers. Thats the reason for my confusion, it was not a math issue..
I found another dealer that sells film in 4x5 inches, so i'm gonna go for that. Thank you for your replies.
Hello, as i am waiting for my first LF kit to arrive, i am on the lookout for some negatives as well. A local shop is selling them, however they are listed in Centimeters (CM) and its a bit...
Hello everybody, on the same subject - which body should i choose between the Chamonix 45N-2 and the Toyo 45CF? They both cost around the same price, so i'm just now trying to figure out which could...
