Thanks, Tim – I already got it!

Yes, I'll try that - thanks for your info.

Thanks for this! The blog answers some of the issues.

I tried to message him here but that is not possible. Then I searched for his email address with no luck. Do you know how to get in touch with him?

I mixed up some Ansco 130 developer (split version) today and have some glycin left over so I thought I should try Jay Defehr's GSD-10 developer. But I really could use some advice.

This is my...

Thanks for all good advice! I'll start using paper towels with the sponge.

Hi,

My three Expert Drums has been out of use for some time and I thought it would be a good idea to clean them before using them again (I had some problems with stains the last time I used them...

Thanks, I'll put Shag Point on the list!

Thanks, I guess may main problem will be time, New Zealand must be some of the worlds best locations for landscape photographers. I plan on bringing 40 sheets of 8x10 and may have to pack more ...

Thanks, David Fisk! Will do, the Catlins are on the list and thanks for the Purukaunui tip! I'll get a travel guide tomorrow and good road maps when I get to Dunedin.

Great! I'll get back to you with details when we have booked a place to live. Thanks for your kindness, it will be nice to meet a real NZ photographer!
All best, Sverre

Thanks a lot, David, I rally look forward to the trip. Guess I must bring more film than usually, New Zealand landscape is really special.

Hi all and a special hi to New Zealand large format photographers.

I'm going to spend some time in Otago between 11th of April and 1st of May. I'm bringing an 8x10 and b/w film and I'm researching...

I've been using a Lotus 8x10 for several years now. It's a very well crafted piece of equipment and every time I pull it out I experience the joy of using such a well constructed camera. My lenses...

You are quite right, too warm developer is not an issue in Oslo. When handrolling I used Xtol 1:1 for 12 minutes at 20 degrees C for HP-5 ISO 320 (11 minutes for FP-4 ISO 100). Total volume 900 cl. I...

This is good and solid info, also on rotation speed. I`ll report back my findings in this tread when the processor is up and running. I would welcome more suggestions on good developers and dilutions...

Thanks again. I´ll check what kind of motor I have when the unit arrives. Then I will try out 5 sheets 8x10 HP-5 in 900 ml Xtol 1:1 unidirectional.

Thanks for all help. I`m afraid I don`t know if the motor on my CPA-2 is upgraded or not, the unit is on its way from Germany to Oslo, Norway. I guess Michael has a point opting for unidirectional...

I just bought my second JOBO. I had one years ago until the motor broke down and I have been handrolling up to now. The reason the motor broke down was probably because I put too much developer into...

I have made one book on premium paper with the help of a good designer using blurb.com. The result was above my expectations and I will continue using Blurb.

I have been using the 8x10 Lotus for the last four years. My previous experience with LF has been Nagaoka 4x5, Linhof Technika 4x5 and Acra Swiss 5x7. I am very satisfied with my Lotus, to the extent...

I have used my Pentax Digital Spot meter for at least 15 years. I had a large Sekonic as well that could do "everything" but I never used it much and eventually sold it. The Pentax gives me...

I made an error posting this this in the Camera & Camera Accessories forum, so here it is where it belongs:

My serial number is 6401##. Welcome to the club ...

In view camera lens listings this lens is described with a 52mm filter diameter. The Fuji 450 I own has a 49mm filter so at least there are two versions of this lens. My lens has a chrome shutter...

Certainly a user, not a scanner-problem. Nice that even newbees on scanning can get help. Anyone out there who has tried a wet mounting kit from ScanScience on this scanner? I need to produce high...

Thanks a lot! Choosing Transparency (full area) solved the problem. The scanner now works properly.

I´ve borrowed an Epson V750 PRO to see what it can do with 8x10 bw negs. I place the neg on the glass inside the film area guide. When performing a prescan with the Silverfast Ai software the scanner...
