I will say that as one gets long in the tooth ... the more light you have when focusing is a good thing. I cannot understand how the weight difference between a f4.5 lens and a f8 lens makes much...
In my experience, it is impossible to have a set of lenses all with the same filter size. Extreme wide angled lenses have massive filters, lenses with a large aperture have large diameters too. The...

Ha!
Thanks for the tip. I'll get it checked out. I know the record heat over the last few months has broken an A string. The strings were all over the place as all the keys had let go.

This is a result of involving my daughter in taking a photo with the LF camera. It is her cello.
My motivation and possible output in photography has increased because I purchased a SP-445 Rev....
Just a note to say I got it wrong ... the exposure of the underside of the branches is about right but everything else is overexposed.
Doremus, it is a highly unusual circumstance for me to be...

Hi,
I guess for many years now I've wanted to find a definitive book on exposure in difficult or unusual circumstances. One of my most treasured photographs is a scene of a rock above the...

Lovely shots all but my favourite is probably the third for the colours but followed closely...
Well my Pyrocat-HD is around 8 maybe 10 years old and is still quite OK... My TF4 is a number of years old too.
I do protect them with a squirt of N2 though ...

Pere,
I have no shortage of enlargers. I have nowhere to set them up and get them running ! In the meantime ... it might be a good idea to dive into the inkjet world.
There's a P5070 on our local Craiglist going for 2/3rd RRP at this very moment ... I asked the seller what configuration it had been set to (LLK or violet). Does anyone here know whether it needs to...
All,
If you were to buy an Epson printer in May 2019 would you consider the Spectroproofer? Does it save buying a densitometer? Is it needed? Really?
Chime in please!

Re: #10
I think the SureColor P5070 is the new P800. The P5070 ha 99% gamut with 11 inks whereas the P800 has 93% gamut with 9 inks. However, I also see that Mr Piezography does...

By 'run' what do you mean? A simple printer calibration test or a full-on print of some sort?

Re: #16
What is a silver digital negative ? Is it a normal film negative that is scanned into a digital file ?
Hmmm.
From my perspective, my living arrangements dictate that I can't setup an optical darkroom. Yet I would like to see results. The local CameraHouse is a joke. They looked at me as though I...
OK...
I'm not a newbie. I have owned a couple of inkjet (bubblejet) printers a loooong time ago. In fact, because of their continuous clogging I went to a colour laser printer. This was before...
Bernice,
I appreciate every comment.
1. At least one of us didn't know of such a thing until after the lens had been re-modelled into the shutter!
2. Grimes has marked the shutter as being...
Labrat I like that story. It makes sense. Some things are attractive because of the design and workmanship and it is self-explanatory.
Picture is from an old digital camera - please excuse !
John,
The locality is called 'Jennings' I believe, in northern NSW very close to the New England Highway. This is not what we would think of as 'outback'. It is a rural farming kinda community...
Hi,
I recently had a Nikkor 480 APO lens grafted onto a Copal #3 shutter by the Grimes factory. The bits were returned to me after the removal of the needed parts. I notice the mechanism for the...
I think it might be the workers dunny.
Taken at what was I believe an original homestead of a governor of New South Wales. Back in those days toilets were external to the houses but, being a...
Well there you go ...
A lens that is designed to have a curved field. You (should) learn something new every day.
I'm not a betting person so I'll bet there isn't such a thing in 35mm...
Hi Peter,
This reminds me of an issue I had with a Super Symmar when the cells became unglued / misaligned. I think the lens will need to be looked at myself.
If I can see correctly, you have...
Many thanks David for your work and willingness to share.
I have my own summary of David's work that I tried. It might help you Pere.
David's techniques do work.
Rgds,

Correct Tim. Oxidation plays a big part in a number of developers. That is why professional labs have Nitrogen on top of their tanks. They circulate the developer liquid by pushing bubbles of...
Yes Pere.
Setting the ISO to whatever column and then spot metering the subject. So you would spot the dark shadows and expose about 2.5 stops faster shutter speed. Assuming a 'landscape' of...
I'll post my data for you. It has everything you'll need if you are using a Jobo 3006. The agitation during development does change things somewhat so whatever you are using, if it equates to what...
I have recent experience having to get 35mm lenses cleaned from fungus. There is no way you would clean those lenses yourself. However, large format lenses are a different matter. Get the lens...
Bernice,
I respect you and what you've said in response to my post.
However, if I may speak to issues in another way...
I have a Nikkor zoom lens, an 80-200 f2.8. I have had a bunch of...
My 110mm lost its ability to focus. No matter where I placed the lens it wouldn't focus. So eventually I had to send it from Australia to California and the official Schneider factory. They...
Thanks all for the replies. The B&H store sells 'colour correction filters for performance art. Are these the ones you are using Luis ? I see nothing for the B&W print industry nor so much any...
Thanks for the reply ic.
So the filters I have are made for something else ... and I would need to make my own glass-mountings and cut these ones. Not something I'd like to do.
Hi,
Just a post to ask how the filters are supposed to be used in L138 enlargers. I assume it will be similar to other enlarger types.
There is a drawer that pulls out from the side of the...
Drew,
If certain phosphors were added to certain LEDs wouldn't that spread the spectrum making it more continuous ? It is going to be almost impossible to replicate a continuous-spectrum light...
So Pere,
You would say that a design needs to be say ROYGBV or some such to get a real balance overall and an even spectrum for the white ? (Yes I included another colour to make 6) We...
