Benno,
That was one of my concerns. The lensboard holder slider thing does get in the way of the aperture, but If I rotate the lens clockwise (aperture slider on the right) it seems to be out of...
I recently acquired a Schneider Symmar-S 240mm f/5.6 lens and its the only Copal 3 lens that I own. I haven't purchased a lensboard yet because the lens seems like it is too large (in diameter) for...
Delta 100 on Oriental FB (a poor scan)

Many people develop negatives by inspection using an infrared light source (eg. night vision). I would suggest a camcorder that has infrared "night shot." Decrease your dev times with less dillution...
Great site! I love his use of color and there are many humorous photos. He's only 30 BTW.
I'm having my camera repair guy install some extremely thin light seal foam (like in a film canister) around the edges on the back and the body, should fix it and keep everything flat. Thanks for the...
I imagine that the tank would be standing up for 2800ml semi stand dev. BTW I used 500ml for 4 sheets. Probably more than I needed, but easier for mixture ratios.
I'll try dumping it in next time....
Last night I developed 4 sheets of delta 100 in my new dev combo (jobo 3010 tank on a beseler motor base).
Everything went great! I set up the roller so that it would hit my bathroom wall if it...
Did you check freestyle?
With the film holder.
here is a photo:

It isn't leaking all the way around, just a very super thin leak along the side opposite of...
Hello,
I'm hoping some fellow Shen-hao HZX-45IIA users can test their camera's for me to see if a phenomena I noticed is actually normal.
Checking for light leaks yesterday, I placed a very...
I'm curious as to how many LF forum users are in Turkey?
Anyone tried TFX-2 with delta?
Thanks for the suggestions.
I've shot Delta 100 for years with 120 and my normal developer is Edwal FG7 with 9% sodium sulfite- 1:15. I've been happy with the results, except that with 4x5 I think I want more acutance (since...
Thanks for all the responses. I've purchased a beseler motor for now. I also found a "fancy" $3.00 funnel with flow control, a hose and chemestry measurements, I'll probably build a cheap stand and...
Exactly want I wanted to hear! Thanks to everyone. I'll pick up a used beseler without the reverse. How often do you spin the tank (for reverse rotations)? And how do you introduce chem. to the tank?...
Hello,
I'm new to developing 4x5 negs. As the title states, I'm looking for a cheap motorized base solution for my jobo expert 3010 tank. I noticed the two most commonly mentioned bases are the...
Thanks for the tip, mine does have the second threading, I'll try it!
They contacted the nevada sierra club.
I grew up in Gerlach and now live in Reno (about 100 miles south of the geyser). A group of coworkers just went and shot the Geyser with permission. Unfortunantly, I couldn't make it. I'll find out...
I too started out with a HZX45-IIa. Overall, I am very satasfied with the camera, the standard bellows is enough for some minor movements on my 75mm 6.8 lens.
There are however some annoyances:

Its ironic that Sexton is mentioned in this thread. It my opinion that he is one of the best technical photographers so far in my generation (im a young squirt of 23).
As previously mentioned,...
I'm fairly new to LF, but have shot delta 100 and the new t-grain films for years. (I love delta for 120) It doesn't seem like many LF shooters use tmax or delta films. Any particular reason? I can...
Ah abbreviations (ABR for short) reminds me of the time (EST to be specific) in NYC I was in the USAF when I set the ISO/ASA on my SLR with TTL metering I was shooting fuji RVP which IMO isn't as...
I'm a Renoan (or is it Renoite) as well. Welcome.
Well I just recieved my 75mm f/6.8 lens and all is well. It uses a 58mm threading for filters and my standard size (as of now) is 67mm. I purchased a 58-67mm stepping ring, but with a bit and...
If I were to buy a cam specifically for this it would be a bessa R2 (used) or a mamiya 7II, right now, its a nikon FG (tiny)
I absolutely love this! Would love to see more!
I love your work!
Well I think you guys helped me find the problem. Mine is a #1168.
According to another thread I found:
So I assume that explains why it is so wide. Bummer.
Doesn't look like it has rear rise like the shen-hao.
As the title implies, I'm fairly new to grafmatic "45" holders. I've finally got loading the film down (I hope) but it doesn't seem like the holder will fit my Shen-hao HZx45II. I was under the...
