<I'm not so sure that the cold was the issue.> You might be right, although the second poster describes their Feisol's inability to lock up the legs @ -30 and then being able to work again as the day...

Hello Wayne,
you need either the "Standard slide in Lens Mount" or the "Lens Turret" to mount your lens on the D5 Enlarger. Both need the appropriate spacer per lens.

Like Vinny says, mark your darkslide.

Richard pm'd me for further assistance on aligning the D5XL (which easily misaligns ). I thought i would share my procedure here for all to benefit.
After initially leveling the baseboard i...
Well, it's not that hard in reality Richard. Harry at www.classic-enlargers.com explains it far better than i am able to. But you will have to do some digging on the "help" forum.
Now, i just tried...

I'm with what Merg, Ben and Rob said.
Some folks here are reading Brian's remarks out of context (which are pretty funny actually).

Awful circumstances, do what you have to Dave. Work can wait and will be there when your ready.
Best Regards....

To recap the good advice offered thus far- strip of matboard under your matt, fresh blade for every matt and set not to long. Efficient penetration and immediate and consistent travel across to your...
Petzl Tikka XP get's my number one vote.
Tiny, triple A's, bright, adjustable intensity, takes filters, batteries last forever and it's really durable.

<Anyone here with experience using the Rodenstock?>
The Rodenstock is by far the sharpest of the 3 loupes i own (Silvestri, Toyo). I was just never really satisfied with the ergonomics of it in...
Got mine @ "With The Times" in downtown Calgary yesterday, looks like a great issue!

Kirk, a movie stills photographer i assist with had the agent request we capture tethered recently (4-600 Raws+large Jpegs per day). Our feeling was that it...

<Ahhh...6x12 ??? (Doesn't make the 100cm2 limit) but the 6x17 does.> So if 6x12 does'nt make the cut, where does that leave the "split darkslide?:eek:

Just my 0.02, but any large format "pidgeon holing" has to include 6x12 and 6x17 rollfilm.

I shoot all the time in sub zeroe temperatures. If it,s a keeper image and i notice the shutter does'nt quite sound right, i will stop down enough to put me into bulb and then manually time the...
