No one has mentioned my favorite, the Arca Field, smooth, slick, reeks quality, can't be sure about the 600. I've had mine for 6 years and sadly do not use it anymore, blame digital, but it was my...
If you think 1280 ink is expensive, try one of the pigment printers. As a dye printer, your images from the 1280 are not archival anyway. IMHO, the potential hassles from third party inks are simply...
I've known Brooks since the early 80's when he lived in Portland and we belonged to a group that shared images. He's changed with the times, sometimes a good thing, but not always, and publishes an...
I've had both the CPE and the CPA. The CPA (or CPP) is much more sturdy. But the deal breaker for most people, and the reason I sold my CPE, is to be able to use the Expert drum. The Jobo Expert drum...
If you have the time, consider Doubtful Sound vs Milford Sound. We spent the month of February in NZ and one of the highlights of the entire trip was an overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound, truly...
Just a suggestion and reminder of a couple of facts. If you are from the east and have not done a lot of driving in the west, please be aware that the distances can be deceiving. You may find...
I have used a Gitzo CF 1227 (now discontinued) with an Arca Field 4x5, as well as a D700 and 70-200 and it was iffy with both cameras. The issues are top heaviness and even minor vibration. You are...
Have you done a search? There are many comments both here and on the getDPI forums. Good luck.
This is a case of "bathing suit" nevus with many accessory nevi. The are highly likely to undergo malignant change and are most difficult to manage. Sad for the young man. Wonderful photograph.
I've been using my Epson 3800 for almost three years and have had no clogs, no cleanings, and done no nozzle checks. I put 1-2 oz of water in the maintenance cartridge once a month (suggested by...
It might be pretty hard to find a carbon tripod, even used, with a head, for $300 but if you look at a Feisol (Kerry Thalmann is reputed to be honest, even if he is an Oregonian :-) or a used 2...
Everyone seems to love whatever they have... duh. Unless I missed it, the op never mentioned if he's using it right next to his car or hiking 20 miles with it. That kind of thing matters. Large metal...
I routinely use the printer with low ink indicator until the printer stops printing. I then replace the cartridge and it picks up where it left off, no gaps, the print is fine. You must have another...
A few years ago LP repaired a zipper on my trekker pack, I cannot recall the model or how much it cost. I'd certainly give them a call. They were quite helpful.
I agree with the comments about the Epson 38xx printers. I've had my 3800 since it became available and I've not had a clog. I do live in the usually moist Pacific northwest though. I usually print...
When I used the 2509, I used just four, never tested it to see the difference, if any.
Try a Technikardan (spend a few moments :) trying to learn how to fold it...), and try an Arca. I'll be surprised if you get the Technikardan unless it's significantly cheaper. Linhof makes a fine...
The only reason I suggested a commercial developer is to decrease the possibility of user error in mixing. While I do not use pyro developers, they obviously work for a lot of people. I'm just trying...
If you are just starting, perhaps using a commercial, commonly used developer from a major manufacturer will increase your chances of success. Take your pick. Since you're in the US, try a Kodak...
If you want a monorail you can actually carry and possibly hike with that combines rigidity, smooooth movements, and just feels good to use, consider an Arca. Get in touch with Rod Klukas at...
If you have CS3, the upgrade to CS5 is only $199US, I do not how many Euros, and there may be other features of CS5 that you might find useful. You can, as of today, download a free trial of CS5 and...
What was your name again?
I'm not at all sure this is a discussion with a conclusion. Be aware that LL also said a 10mp Canon DSLR surpassed a Mamiya 6x7 (pure baloney that I'm sure MR regrets) in the "old" days, a few years...
I use a final rinse in distilled water, then hang the film up to drain. I never touch it after the final rinse.

Sorry Tom, check the Mt St Helens website, Johnston Ridge is closed until May 16! It is beautiful but only if you can get in, and if it's foggy, well...

From Eric to Eric...Unfortunately for you, with CS, or anyone else with a version before CS2, your only option if you want to go to CS5 is to buy the whole cow, AND that's going to be true whether...
Also, not to frighten you, just good common sense, leave NOTHING of value in your vehicle if you park at a trail head. I've never had a problem in 30 years, but have occasionally seen broken window...
I agree with all the advice about the Columbia Gorge, I spend much of the year hiking and photographing there. If I had just a few days here, that's where I'd go. Eagle Creek is a magical trail, exit...
I use it with Silverfast, I cannot recall the version, and Mac OX 10.5, no problems.

I'd recommend giving it a try or having a return policy for at least long enough to run a few scans. I've had mine since 8/06. It is not often used these days as I do very little work with my 4x5. I...
Ken,
Even if you shoot mostly film, as I did for many years, the ability of Lightroom 2.x to catalog and allow rapid access to scanned files is impressive. I have a pretty large number of 4x5 and...
Thanks for the kind comments. I am not often referred to as either astute or elegant, but I'll take it. I've never stitched yet, though I am about to get a 45PC-E and would love to try some...
I like Jack. I have had the privilege of doing two workshops with him, last in 3/09. He used his Arca 4x5 at both. I used my Arca and D700. For what it's worth, I use the D700 almost exclusively...
I bought a column for my 3530S, but rarely use it. It is CF but does add some weight. When I travel I'll often bring it because a couple of inches often makes a difference when perched on a hillside,...
Hi Don, Hope you're well. I have chosen not to upgrade to Snow Leopard exactly because I cannot be certain it will work with Nikon Scan on my 9000, depite what the other poster said. I have also...
Ray is one of the greats of the last 50 years. His contributions are greatly underrated. He speaks and acts gently but with great purpose and wisdom. His images speak for themselves.

Blending a traditional 4x5 camera and digital seems tricky at best. One ends up essentially starting over with a new technical camera, such as the Linhof 679 or Techno, or a medium format body such...
No offense meant to anyone. I do hope that on this forum we comment on photography, not personality. Disagreement is fine. Neil is a local friend and I wanted to tweak him a bit. He can take it, so...
