Gursky's prints are done at Grieger. Based on his last show at Matthew Marks, it looks like 70 inches is about the limit on width - I could see the seams where the two print segments were joined.

Michael,

Most of my insights into Ilford do not come from the world photography. I work on Wall Street for one of the world's largest investment banks and in the course of my normal daily banter...

I don't see ANY good (or new) news in these links. Ilford's survival depends on one, and only one thing: their ability to find a buyer for their non-digital business. Aint likely.

The cascade washer Ken refers to will NOT work with the 3010 or any of the 3000 series drums. As Bobby correctly pointed out – do not use photo-flo (or the Final Rinse if you use Kodak’s e-6 Kit) in...

Bruno, which copyright jurisdiction are you referring to? U.S.? France? Mongolia?

Dan,

Not if the film is Tech Pan.

Assuming perfectly flat film, perfectly parallel standards, no camera shake etc…I agree that the lens seems to be the source for the current limitation on image detail and sharpness in a modern...

Ditto Ralph's comments on the binder clips for drying. As for the fingernail and thumb approach, there really is no other way. It sounds like the marks were applied to the film prior to loading...

I've gotten great results using Kodak's 5 litre e-6 kit to develop 8x10 and 120/220 in a JOBO CPP-2 with Expert Drums (3005 for the 8x10 and 2563 for the 120/220). Kodak provides a wealth of...

Randy,

I picked up a bag bellows for my SV810 because the standard bellows only allowed about 1 cm of rise, fall, and shift with my primary short lens - a 150 SSXL (with this lens and the standard...

For several years now I've been using the Harrison Pup Tent to load 8x10 in the field. I've had no problems. I usually change 3 holders at a time. Learning how to make the Pup work with 8x10 was...

I never understood the need for a custom made item. I most often use one of my girlfriend's skirts as a darkcloth. Works perfect.

Q: "What makes a good photograph - or what makes a photograph good?"

A: Good content.

Wow, interesting subject!! Yes, I think the Logical Positivism/Phenomenology dichotomy does indeed apply to the universe of photography and it plays out, in a non format dependent way, something like...

Two words; Tech Pan

David Hickey’s remarks seem to be hypocritical. He implies he doesn’t like contemporary photography and yet he’s upset that wont last that long!!

I use a slight variation on the T-Max RS 1:9 theme. I pour the A into the B and then add water to make 1 gallon of 1:4 "stock". When preparing to develop, I then mix 1 part "stock" to 1 part water to...

Adding clouds was common back then because the plate emulsions were only sensitve to blue light. The sky details were blown out.

Barney, Hama makes a 30 foot air release. I got mine at B&H about a year ago.

Jim, There was a exhibit about a year ago at the Brooklyn Musuem of Art- "Committed to the Image: Contempoary Black Photographers". I'm not sure if any of the artists featured worked exclusively in...

Great Lens! Its one of my most used lensed on my 8 x 10. Incredibly sharp with tons of coverage. I definitely recommend a bag bellows and, if you shoot a lot of color (I do), or use a lot of...

Scott. Great!! How long did you let the prints dry before they went under the press?? Also, please post your results when you try 11x14 and 16x20. Many thanks! Dave

Scott. There is hope! About a year ago I was in exactly the same position, and confronting the same consternation about the FB print caveat buried in the back of JOBO's instruction manual....

Michael, I Have to agree with the previous comments. Provia is the only film I use for my 8 x 10 color field work. Key factors are 1)speed (like Ron, I rate it 100), 2) a subtler, less...

Peter,

More praise for the Ebony! Trevor and Paul are right about the RW's ability with wide lenses, however, if your going to be using long lenses, then I think the versatility of the SV wins...

A swimsuit edition.
