I must be wearing my bullet-proof vest today, emboldened as I am by all these positive comments.
I'm sorry, but it just doesn't work for me - and I sent the link to several friends, who all came to...
Shin!
It's very good to hear from you again. To slightly hijack a thread, did you make any progress on the idea of 11x14 Mido holders? You may recall there was considerable interest on this...
I think the most pertinent question is, will this actually come to anything? People seem to have forgotten the last appearance on this forum by Shin-ichi Kumanomido...
I don't think there's anything inherently contradictory between softness and using LF - sometimes (as in this shot) it's necessary to use LF for the movements needed for the differential focus. ...
I recently asked a well-known and reputable US dealer about the possibility of getting some 11x14 E100VS from Kodak - this is my preference to Fuji's Provia 100F and Velvia, and you might recall that...
Matthew, I've considered something like that before, and when I've needed bright conditions I've sometimes turned on the lightbox (which could probably double as a sunbed!). But that still leaves me...
I just received a batch of digital proofs (chromira, glossy paper) and sat down to review them. I generally wait until I get good light in the room for doing this, to see each print at its best. ...
I was inclined to let this run its course, as the first post wasn't sufficiently clearly worded to get the conversation going that I wanted. But I've decided to try again, just in case there were...
Paul, it was a bit of an incoherent ramble, I think.
I wasn't really trying to look at the commercial/non-commercial distinction, but rather, the different marketing and pricing routes being...
I've been thinking about this topic for a while, and a few posts in the last couple of months have discussed related issues, so I thought it a good time to raise the topic.
First, a clarification...
Ed, don't you just hate it when people tell you 'it's what YOU think that matters'!?
I think the shots are extremely good (meaning they seem to be a good example of a type of photography I like),...
I also really enjoyed the photos I saw, but I stopped after a couple. It gets irritating to have to click Index after looking at each image, to then be able to click onto the next image. A 'next...
I wasn't aware HCB regularly used LF.
Seriously, I think that the number of non-LF posts is on the increase. To some extent, they help keep the forum active and people returning, but I think we...
Emile, to clarify:
I'd like to know if the prices you've quoted are direct from the manufacturer in China, which means even those in the US may have extra taxes/charges on top; or if the prices...
Hi Emile
Kerry mentioned weight and bellows extension in his first post, but we're none the wiser on these critical subjects yet. Also, is the cost given ex-China, or within the US, and if the...
Often trying different words in the search field comes up with a good spread of responses. In this instance, 'backpack' is probably more commonly used than 'rucksack', and in fact produces many...
While I find the idea ridiculous, I have inadquate experience to say whether these 'vanity galleries' are the way things work now. A few days ago I came across the details of a sort-of vanity...
I'm moving in that direction, Will.
To clarify, all work on the transparencies was done by the firm - all scanning and photoshop work.
A while ago I decided to try out some labs to produce digital prints, output to both Lightjet and 9600. I've had a problem with one lab that is starting to rankle, but would like to find out how...
I posted this a few hours ago, and it was accepted. But now it doesn't exist.
This morning I found 35 email alerts, and saw my status had changed so I was receiving alerts. Although I've since...
In principle, I don't have a problem with someone chopping down a bit of a tree for their shot, depending on the circumstances. Problem is, once the principle is out the window, you're stuck with...
Peter, your feedback - given and received - made interesting reading.
Chris
Could you clarify something for me. In this thread, you said "Bronzing in highlights: Solved by varous methods, the best of which is to face-mount the prints on plexiglass". However, last...
As someone who wasn't part of this thread at any previous stage...
The wording of the critical posts wasn't great, but it was hardly material to make someone walk off. This is a fairly...
Daily when I'm home.
I had a feeling that's what you were saying, but was a bit confused - a bit like this thread!
" if you can find a better image by cropping it, then it tells you your framing was off". Maybe. Or perhaps it tells you that you couldn't afford a longer/shorter lens, or didn't want to have to...
I think there are two issues in your post that are getting mixed: film vs digital, and manipulated vs unmanipulated. 'Every creative decision is made out there in the wind, the heat, the rain, the...
Can anyone here vouch for Jon Anderson? Or should we become suspicious that there might be a little more here than meets the eye? We have an established member of this forum, who has had several...

I think the difference in the sort of work you're talking about, is that upon being told 'you know this isn't real, don't you? This scene didn't really exist like that!' nobody would be...
Thanks for the input, people. It seems fairly consistent, although obviously some people have more experience with the issue than others.
I called up the printer a short while ago, and was a bit...
While I agree that because of the niche nature of our activity, we need to grit our teeth and bear poor service, I think the responses here have been reasonable.
If I took money from someone and...
Thanks for these quick answers, people. Some more info:
The paper is Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper
I had heard about people waxing their prints (although not in this context), but I...
I recently had a small batch of transparencies returned from a lab. Scanned and printed to 8"x10" proofs, I have both Chromira prints and Epson 9600 prints for several of images.
I'm going...
I use mine on my Super Trekker, and thought it a brilliant idea when I started. It's still pretty useful, but you have to watch a few things. Firstly, although you can fit seven 8x10 holders in,...
Thanks people. Yes Leonard, this is what I meant but seemed unable to properly describe.
I was curious about the need to provide lens data - it seemed to me as long as it covered (and I knew they...
Glen and Jason, although your answers are slightly different, they're roughly what I expected. Ernest - it's clear I needed to better phrase the question, but even so, I'm bamboozled by your answer!...
OK, I thought this was easy but I guess it isn't!
Nikkor SW lenses - 120mm and 150mm, probably at f32 for each.
Does anyone roughly know (or can work out!) what size film sheet would be left, if on 8x10, using a 120mm lens, the image area was cropped down to roughly equal the image a 150mm lens would create?
