If you have filterholders that fit, you can cut polyester or gel-filter to put inside. As a result, the filters for this lens are the smallest, mine also fit a 360mm Apo-gerogon.

Or you can put in...

I have 230V system with 115 on each wire (same system as Albania). I do not have a switch, so I unplug them. They still glow, so I cover them with aluminium foil, and that's good enough for darkroom...

One difference I see, is with wide angle lenses, the LF photographer either let the vertical lines be vertical like we see them, or distort the sky to an extreme level.

You can also have vertical...

I use a compact fluorescent UV black light, so I do not see the need for this. I tried to find it online in USA, but home depot and one more did not have it.

We used a survey umbrella aginst the sun and the rain when we had a summer survey course at the university. The shaft was long, and to make it not move, we tighten it to the ground with wires. Here...

A darkroom sink could be built out of wood and bathromm vinyl, so why not custom sized trays? I think the hard part is "welding" the vinyl, though.

Join a club, a good one, most of the times a good club means a large one. In my club, we go out to photograph once a week during the summer, different people come every time.

My magic bullet is a 6x9cm 120-film folding camera where I have removed bellows, shutter and lens and added a meter of black tape and a pinhole, the angle of view is similar to a 11mm on a...

Get the Olympus OM-2n which has off the film metering. It will close the shutter when the film has enough light (up to two minutes)! and the light meter goes down to -5,5 EV ;-)

I would limit myself to 125° on a flat film, but maybe 150-170 on a curved, unless you want to have really dark corners.

To make the film stick, use a "post-it" glue-spray. (3M and Gepe)

My IKEA-MACKIS box camera is 6x12", but uses no filmholders, only a flat plane, maybe for paper to be developed and scanned. Both my Apo-gerogon 210 and 240 will fit _inside_ with the aperture...

I'm designing a box camera to use with a 210mm Apo-symmar and a 8x10" frame with ground glass, using autocad (R14).

What you are looking for is PVC in correct size according to Grimes site:

Measure the size correctly (several times), or make a copy out of cardboard to...

Compare the resolution on different pictures as you screw one cell away from the shutter, and see if you can find a new, better position. You can then make your own shims out of brass

The 95-135mm lens comes to mind, it's a pinhole, and you could find some extraordinary macro pictures out there on the web, and also some description on how to build one, but you can use aperture 256...

You should be able to check if the fit any of the new yourself, look to S.K.Grimes: http://www.skgrimes.com/products/index.htm

I suppose the T-max have smaller grain, and I believe that the "break-up" can be avoided in the digital process, so if you have a scanned file whithout interference between the filmgrain and scanning...

To create the pinhole: Use a soda-box, cut the foil big enough to cover the hole for Copal #0/#1/#3, make it flatt!!! make a hole, tape it to your lensboard with black tape.

I saw the image from this lens on a 5x7" Arca-Swiss besides my 480/9 Apo-ronar on regular mate glass, and they were very similar.

You do not need the f/4 of a 65mm! as you can see all of the image...
