Folks,
I've received my first 600 MB Tango drum scan (4x5 slide) from West Coast Imaging.
My past experience with digital files is with DSLR raw captures and home scanned 35mm film. For these...

Folks,
I'm going to purchase an ND Grad filter to go with a Lee Holder.
The application will be for landscapes (both distant and "intimate") with 4x5 Astia. The lenses to be used will be 135mm...
I purchased one of these about a month ago and am using it with a Crown Graphic. I've put about 10 rolls through it but have only processed 5 of them. So far, I haven't seen anything to indicate that...

Hi,
I was forced to leave some unopened bottles of Kodak C-41 liquid chemicals in my garage over the summer due to a remodel.
This means they have been exposed to about 10 days of 95 degree...

Thanks for your reply. Looks like I have the kind that would necessitate the Calumet type of back.

Hi,
I'd like to purchase a 6x12 roll film back for my Nagaoka. The purpose would be to experiment with the 6x12 format to see if I like it. If I do, then I'd probably get a dedicated 6x12 camera....

How long can I let freshly dated, exposed color negative film stay undeveloped (at room temperature) before I see any deterioration or change in the image (color shifts, darkening/lightening, etc)....

Hi,
I'm about to try home C-41 processing of 4X5 for the first time, using the Unicolor print drum method. I'm going to start with the Unicolor 1 Liter powder kit. (I've seen the discussions over...
My favorite bag system for hauling 35mm equipment was the Kinesis system, but I haven't started using it for my LF stuff (but plan to). I really like their belt system, and I think it will make sense...
Thanks everyone for the ideas and input. Looks like I have a few more options to research.

I'd like to purchase a lightweight lens in the 200 mm range to complement my 135. If I stick with large format, I will eventually try to get a Nikkor 200M or Fujinon 240A, but for now these lenses...
I rent time on an Imacon as well, and have never considered using the 3f format, but as Nelson points out, it could be useful for getting the most out of a negative by processing differently for...

Thanks everyone for your input. I went with 300ml for 2 4x5's and that seemed to be enough solution. It was pretty exciting to see my first developed negative!
I am planning on developing 4x5 sheets in an 8x10 print drum.
