I know I'm asking a lot but anyone know of a place in Rome that has darkroom use for BW prints/dev film? This is a long shot.

Sacha,

Thanks. I think I will be sending my film out of Italy since I can't find someone to develop it here.

santo

Thanks much Renato. I think I'll stop by on friday to check them out.

Any thoughts on a good place in Rome Italy where I can send my film to get developed?

santo

I was not too worried about customs, I just wanted to get the film that was in date. Italy seems to be a bit behind of technology and non-digital camera stuff. I've only seen one place for film and...

I saw it on a previous thread but was not able to find it. Looking for a place in Rome Italy to buy film. BW and or color 4x5 and 120. Or would it be better to just buy from BH in NYC?

Keiske,

I'm going to wait till I'm settled in our new place before I contact Mr. T about the cap screw. If I do it now it will just get lost in the move across the globe.

santo

Depends on the briar. Better make sure those walls are think, really good grain and birdseye will always help. Now you just need to find film that will fit or cut some.

Since most wood cameras are fire-cured I would assume they will stand up to the heat. At least that's the theory I'm sticking with.

santo

That's what I was thinking as well. I think my wife might kill me if I did that right before we move. Thanks

Santo

I just wanted to know what one would seem to pay for the system? I saw one for obo but he never said what he really wanted. Any thoughts.

McLendon's....Are you in Washington state? Which store, woodniville or down south?

When did scanning a 4x5 b/w negative become so spendy? $10 per neg. Really!? I mean I;m not drum scanning here, just doing a flatbed scan. Makes me wish I could bring my V700 with me to Rome.

Bjarte,

Thank you so much! I've been looking for a contact to them but its been a difficult search.

Thanks again.

Santo

I'm going to say both.

Give me a few hours. Wife wants dinner and we can't make her mad can we?

While I was shooting a few hours ago I went to close up the field camera and a small end cap bolt fell off the camera. I went to look for it, but since the camera has brass colored parts and I was...

I say if you got the cash and can afford it, do it but make a better offer of like $7500 cash. Cash always talks. That and make sure the camera works, i.e. are the bellows ok? scratches on the...

I know I would be up for the hike, but my wife...not a chance.

I don't know Ed. I'd put the kid holding the pig head on the front page. You see the head and the kids smile with the smear of blood on his face. Maybe if there was a way to toss up a vote for this...

Actually I was just getting ready to look on google maps. Thanks.

Tuesday morning my wife and I will be heading to Mt. Rainier. She wants to walk around with the dog while I'm bring my 4x5 of love. Anything I should be looking at or anything that you think I may...

Ash,

I leave for Rome on October 2nd. Should be there around the later part of the 3rd. We can meet up if you would like. Also...I would skip the rail pass. Sometimes the long lines to use the...

It looks like you should agitate for about 20-30 secs. Maybe try to develop not in the tray. Really knock those bubbles around. Just a thought.

I've been buying form BH. They seem to keep the prices down and they always have Ilford in all sizes in.

You might want to find out if the university has the room and the water baths that FB papers require. It does need to dry a bit longer and having large steel plates also help as the FB paper will...

Sounds good. This is what I was looking to hear, or read in this case.

santo

Just wanted to know how long you think sheet film will last in their holders before there are changes with the film or they just go bad? I normally only load film into them before I shoot but I...

Wally,

I'm also a photobackpacker kinda guy. I have my 135mm lens in a case and I'll be getting more of them for the others.

So I headed down to Kenmore Camera today and picked up a Tamrac camera bag. I picked up the Ultra Pro 11 and I found out when I got home, the bag really holds a lot of stuff. I only have one lens...

I'm not in EU yet but will be in a month so I wanted to get this nailed out soon. I was actually looking at REI since I've been a member since the early 80s. I was also going to talk to Bruce at...

I've posted about this before and got some good ideas. Now that I have traveled 3500 miles with my 4x5 I still have another 15,000 miles to go. The problem is that the bag I picked up (Tenba...

Wallace,

I'm with you. I try to avoid direct sunlight with any loading of film. I think the guy at BH was blowing smoke through the bellows.

Steve,

Check out this site: http://www.f295.org/Pinholeforum/forum/Blah.pl
I actually visit the forum a lot as I'm a pinhole guy as well. Lots of good information.

santo

Sounds good to me! Thanks.

Now I was told from a guy at BH months ago that the Rollei IR film (for 120) did not need to be loaded in total darkness. That being said, if this was true would this affect the film for total IR...

I'm shooting some things on Monday and have a shoot on Tuesday night. How long will the film be OK in a used 4x5 storage box until I should really get it to the lab? I'll take it to Panda Lab in...

Panda Lab is the only one I found that does still develop 4x5 bw/color. $2.25 per sheet. I haven't been there for about 10 years but good to see that someone is still doing it. I don't mind...

I just talked to the guy at panda. They do but Moon photo does not. Kenmmore Camera no longer does it as well. What is going on in this world?

Thanks

So the 2 place I used to go to in Seattle are now gone as of 2008. I need a place that will dev my bw 4x5 negs and possible scan them at 300dpi so I can get them to my site. Any ideas? I'm in...
