I think if you go for the IQsmart then you should get the 3 and not the 2. Go all the way or not at all. I have the IQSmart3 and it's a pretty nice machine. I used to scan 120 with an ixpress CF...

I like my Wehman 8x10 for this kind of work because it's really light weight and easy to carry and still has some movements. You might be able to use flash on your subjects?

I have the sekonic color spectrum meter c-700 and you can use the CRI histogram to meter for the dry plates with a little bit of math. It's even just helpful to get a quick look at the lighting.

I need a new computer since my 2017 late iMac with 64gb RAM just doesn't cut it anymore. I got a microsoft surface pro 6 some years back when they came out and was really impressed with it. That...

I read the article as well, I think the parts about getting the getting the negative flat and perpendicular to the camera axis is great. I don't use Negative Lab Pro, but rather ColorNeg which has...

Nicely done!

I looked through my brochure but didn't see those parts in there. At first I thought they were rail table mounts but they don't have a grove for the gear.

Thanks, and yes the front standard is from a Linhof 8x10 Kardan Color which has the gearing for rise /fall so I may motorize that in the future. For now I want to take some portraits with it first...

This is my ULF project camera - it's an 11x14 camera with autofocus. I use a TOF sensor right now but am working on incorporating an intel realsense depth camera. You can still manually focus as it...

My IQS3 is significantly faster on 4x5 at even 4000 dpi than yours. I wonder why?

Thanks for sharing that video - pretty cool!

I have an IQ3 and though it's been a little while since I scanned 4x5, I think it's much faster than that - I'm thinking 10 minutes at 4000 dpi is probably about right. You can cut your own...

Hi Chris,
I'm pretty sure you can get Austin at LAFlex to grind you a linhof cam.

I've got the z3200 and messed around with the silver negative profiles - it seems to work well for contact prints, but I'm not sure I ever spent enough time to really dial it all in with regard to...

That's cool information to read, thanks!

Armin,
Nice collection of cameras! Is that a Gowland TLR on the right side or ??

Thank you for posting, was thinking along the same lines....
Way more people are killed by their own dogs and their own guns than anyone ever has by big cats
Makes me much more worried to be out in...

So cool! How are you developing the films?

I've got one of his 8x10 reels ... but for Jobo tanks, amazingly easy to load.

Pedro,
That's a nice result with great tonality. Did you use a preflash?

I have been scanning with an iQsmart3 and also a fancy set up with a multishot / microstep digital back with schneider 80mm macro symmar with behind the lens leaf shutter attached to my Rolleiflex...

Dr Tang and Neil, nice images!
Here's one of mine from somewhere in Utah. T-max 400, d76, 4x5 shot handheld in an Alpenhaus 90mm 110b conversion

I like the image, well executed, but your reply to it (and sour negativity) totally unwelcome and unnecessary.

So the rings you made are used instead of the regular imagon H5-8 strainer?

It would be two steps, but you could just make a careful distance scale on your focusing rail and then use a laser measurer to measure and then transfer the focus manually. Still may be quicker than...

>And having the option to focus with the film holder in place isn't really an option on 8x10 -- I'd have to go 4x5 for that. Right?

You maybe able to build something on your own. I think Gowland...

I'm shooting some with 8x10 and a lot with 4x5. There are many cameras which could serve your needs for 4x5. I have for example a polaroid conversion fitted with a Komura 152mm lens which is quite...

Superb!

Thank you for posting this information. I am interested to experiment with this technique. I think I have already purchased the bleach kit from the PF.
Are there any sample images from this...

I've asked for a hand check a few times and from the experience, I think the risk is greater some TSA person will open the film boxes. ;)

Excellent, thank you!

Yes, these screens are very easily marred. I don't know if his medium format screens are from even the same fresnel vendor or not, but those you can cut down easily enough with just a box cutter...

I'd like to know what developer people like with this film. I've had a few boxes of the sheet film in 4x5 and 8x10 and wasn't happy with the results I got with it in Rodinal 1::100 stand either.

Interesting! And I do believe that lots of older lenses are quite good just as you wrote about your Rodagon. I was "scanning" with a rodenstock 80mm APO enlarging lens fit to my Rolleiflex 6008AF...

Neat!

I've shot with some of the 4x5 sheet and it seemed okay, none of the pinholes posted earlier. I'll have another closer look and make a scan.

Yes, I think you should join PayPal, and maybe Venmo too. I participate in this forum as an enthusiastic photographer curious about film and large format, but I depend on Paypal for my business as...

Thank you to everyone for the information! I'll give pyro a try in the bathroom and if I like it, I will figure out a better place to work with it long term.

Hi,
Forgive me for the questions about pyro - maybe the answers are there already but I didn't turn them up in a search - I know it will stain my skin, but does the chemistry stain things like...

Great thread, thanks for doing this!
