Thanks Ian! I will look for the 3rd edition.
Thanks Lenny!
I have been getting higher contrast with extended development and Rollo Pyro, but I think the problem is overdevelopment. I've read in another thread that Rollo Pyro is an...
Can you recommend a BW film development book? I did a search and found the following:
"The Film Developing Cookbook", by S. Anchell and B. Troop
Would this be an excellent reference for a...

I don't think Ken's thumbnails are too large. The average file size is about 35kb...reasonably sized for the image dimensions. The problem on the Landscape page is that there are 69 of them! ...
"why the java script? i didn't see anything that couldn't be straight html? simpler easier and more browser compatible. "
Ken is using Javascript to provide dimming and a few other style features...
Hi Ken,
I cleared my cache and then loaded your site and measured:
Time to load opening page = 1.6 sec with 147 KB transferred
Time to load Landscape page = 6.9 sec with 2.61 MB transferred.

I just returned (last night) from a week at Many Glacier and spent much of the time on the East side. The aspens are just starting to turn--most are still green, but a few are yellow. Definitely...
This article gives a fair review of Paintshop Pro 10 and 11. I have many of the same complaints as the author.
One thing to add that may be important to large format photographers... If you...
Jack--I'm a student. Where can I get a copy of CS2 for $125? My college bookstore has it listed for $299. Thanks!
Yes, Paintshop Pro versions 10 and 11 support 16 bit editing and ICC profiles for monitors and printers.
To fix a color cast problem you might consider getting a calibration test target and using it to make a profile for your scanner. This has helped me a lot. Not a fix to your problem, but a green...
Hi Bill!
I'm from Grand Rapids. Where can I see your work?
Thanks!

Paintshop Pro is easier to learn than Photoshop and nearly as powerful. It is a lot more powerful than Photoshop Elements and only costs $100 (you might find it for less). If you are only...
Thanks again to all. I will probably buy a new one, just to be sure it has the newer gasketing. The boards are not expensive compared to the lens...
Kerry, you confirmed what I was hoping when...
Thanks for your opinions! I will give the flat board a try, even though it is likely not in stock and is a special order...
Would you still be happy with the flat board if you had a Nikkor 800mm Tele mounted in it? Comparing the 2 boards, does the flat one wiggle more than a recessed when inserted into the standard?
...
Can anyone tell me if there is a reason to prefer the 13mm recessed 171mm lens board over a flat board (a brand new one: ...
Yes. You expose more, the lab develops normally.
Here is one with just a little deliberate out of focus in the bottom left. I did it for both practical and aesthetic reasons.

Most UV filters don't do very much. This is a good read:

I had some issues this fall when using the B-1 in heavy rain that lasted for about 10 days. At a couple of points I had to grip the plate and use all my strength to move the ball. It seems like the...
I agree. NPS is fantastic, especially if you have a good profile for it. The Pro Version of the Epson 4990 comes with Silverfast, which includes an NPS profile. This is a great combination and...
This seems to be more common in Europe than the USA. I had the same experience in Nuremberg, Germany a year ago. It doesn't seem to be an issue in the USA as long as you obey the 2 item and size...
It can happen with any of the quickload films, not just the new Velvia. Make sure the QL holder's button is not lodged/stuck on the left. It should be "released" or "loose" and on the right side...
I use the Berlebach 3032 with an Arca Discovery 4x5 monorail. Weight isn't an issue for me and I don't think it would be a problem up to its 26.5 lbs rating. I use it fully extended and with legs...
Well, Brian asked for a general purpose slide and print film and Astia or E100G fits the request for G.P. Provia’s contrast is about the same as Velvia 100F, so it can’t really be called a G.P....
Can you borrow someone's 35mm camera for a few minutes to check your readings? Obviously this won't be a perfect solution, but it should get you close to an accurate reading--certainly better than...
Large format readers are not the only ones to have beaten this to death.....

And no, I don't normally buy from Adorama either because...
Was it a large format lens or did you join just to bitch about Adorama....
I've never heard of anyone getting ICE to work with 4x5 or larger. I tried it, then searched and read that it can't be done. Can anyone confirm that it IS possible? It would save a lot of time.
I mostly shoot slide film and here is what I do.
When there is an area that is smaller than my spot meter can measure, I simply consider whether that area is composed of the all the same levels of...
Scott Fleming: I didn't say unsharp, I said "less sharp" and was comparing the 2nd scan to the 1st scan. I wouldn't start jumping to conclusions about this scanner based on my first 2 scans or...
16X multisampling takes a long time.... probably 2 hours.
I can't say anything about an Imacon or 4870, but my first 2 scans from the 4990 are revealing.
For a first scan all I did was use a simple bow curve to lighten because the preview looked too...

Ralph,
I was using backward tilt of the back standard, analogous to forward tilt of the front standard. I probably was making a mistake, but I could not get front tilt of the back standard or...
When shooting ice formations on Lake Michigan I often stand on the ice cliffs, select an interesting foreground that is on top of the ice cliff, and shoot out and down over the water below.

I recently purchased a Discovery. Keep in mind you will need a bag bellows if you want to work with a 90mm lens. Also, consider getting a different rail if you plan on hiking. The standard...
