Was this supposed to be in the For Sale forum?

I think they are joking since it seems ever ebay add says those 2 phrases :)

Bill, are you liking the cases so far?

I now own 2 large ones and I have no complaints but I do have one improvement that I would like to share. I noticed that the bottom of the bag is not padded in any way, it's just nice, tough fabric....

My Tachihara was like this. I used Pledge furniture polish spray. You don't spray it on directly, instead spray it on a microfiber cloth and rub it on. Let it dry open for a week or so and you should...

Lol. JMO, look into antistatic ziplocks. That is what I use. I split an order of 1000 bags with another forum member and ended up with 500 bags for $47 including shipping. They are 6x9 and hold 4x5...

As soon as I fill this one I'll buy a second. I love it. I will win my war on dust :)

The wife is having a tough time, especially regarding her neck but time will heal hopefully.

Thanks for...

That has to be a typo. Either they are going to release it (That would be nice even give the differences between it and Efke) or they meant FP4 (which isn't really slow).
...

I wasn't aware you could get PanF in sheet film sizes? I thought MF was the largest.

I emailed them a couple of weeks ago and linked back to this thread. I made the case for slow sheet film. The reply said that they would look into it. I'm not sure it had anything to do with the...

The heart of the case includes one long divider down the middle effectively splitting it in two. You can move it as all of the dividers are traditional velcro dividers like those in almost all...

Here are some shots as promised:

The case has 2 "lids". The very top lid velcro's to the case tightly but is not dust tight. This top pocket does have 2 dust and water tight zipper pockets.
...

I'll snap some this evening. My wife's car accident and packing to move is killing my free time, what little I had to begin with. I already have the light tent setup so I'll get a few shots tonight...

It's soft. I'll see how it fits in my Pelican and let you know.

Thanks Jim, that is promising. I removed the rings because I didn't trust the, they were really loose in package. I simply used a pvc coupler and a bushing. I'll hopefully shoot with them next...

Glad you feel so. After using it for a couple of weeks I don't know how I lived without it. Quality is awesome and I'm very happy with it!

Nice job. This is well exposed and printed. It's hard to tell from the scan but if it were printed slightly lower contrast with increased time (I'd lower .5 grad to start and add 10%) your highlights...

Hi guys. I had said a while back that aside from Illford's new B&W paper, they were releasing a new film. I remembered wrong. They are releasing more cameras based on film. They currently have their...

Awesome, I'm hoping for a similar result. I had some ABS plastic lens boards cut that I'll glue a bit of black construction paper to in order to cut reflections. I was going to drill them, mount...

Thanks for the Delrin link. I was able to get 10 ABS plastic Technika sized boards cut for $10 from TapPlastics then I can drill them at will. I have that book and have read it and literally dozens...

Hi all, I ordered a pair or cheap magnifiers from Amazon for $3 / pr. Upon receiving them I immediately shattered the holder and ripped the lenses out. They are glass and fair quality. I'm going to...

The myriad of tripods looks like the scaffolding in place when building a skyscraper. Awesome for sure!

I like the "tiny" 24x32. The thing that struck me funny was the hardware on the image on the side of the semi looks to be the same as that from a Chamonix. The knobs and levels especially :) My...

Hi all, I remember there being a thread recently about lens storage and as I expected there are as many ways to store lenses as there are types of people. Well, I'm the type that goes overboard (some...

Second video (since you can only post 1 per post):

Hugo (and others of course) I thought would enjoy seeing his overall look on a grand scale. Other cameras may use similar hardware as I'm admittedly not a LF camera expert in all brands, but I don't...

If you are attempting to do "Develop By Inspection", you must process the film in total darkness until it is at least 50% complete (some say 75%). At that point, using a foot switch, you may briefly...

If you are concerned about film or paper fogging, you can do a very simple test. Leave fim or paper out in you darkroom for the longest possible time you would be working with it, then maybe double...

Hi everyone, I've become very interested in soft focus recently. I picked up a few cheapo's from Rankin which was spurred by his generous loaner program through which I ended up buying the loaner...

I haven't had any problems with pinholes and aside from Efke, I shoot Arista.EDU Ultra exclusively in 4x5. I rate it anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 the rated speed and adjust development accordingly. Until...

Ah. The kind words are deserved. I don't typically deal out praise often.

Eddie or Hugo, what lens is on his 16x20 in the first video?

Bob, well said of course. I didn't have the time yesterday to go further with my explanation but you eliminated that need, thanks. Eddie, I have had the *exact* type of experience with Hugo. I won't...

Welly, try exposing at iso 80 and see what happens.

I love both. Their Arista.edu Ultra is the exact same film at half the price or less! I develop my 4x5 in PMK Pyro and stand develop my 35mm and 120 in Rodinal 1:100.

Preston is correct. If you tilt the rear standard which is not axis tilt, any swing will not be yaw free.

Freezer, i'm ordering an N-2 soon as well. The time frame for the new one isn't certain yet and I know the resale is good enough that if yaw-free is that big of a deal to me at that point I'll just...

I would test the RC vs FB theory. It may be close with some papers, but it can be completely different, especially if the papers are from different vendors, etc. I have printed the same image on both...
