    Re: 4x5 without a darkroom?

    I'm surprised no one mentioned the availability of daylight developing tanks for 4x5. I find the HP Combi-Plan tank invaluable (use small tank times for starters), if a bit finicky to load. I've...

    developing older film

    I spoke with someone at Kodak about this, and came away thinking a shift from D-76 to XTOL (which I'd been trying anyway) mgith be beneficial here, since it apparently produces greater shadow detail,...

    developing older film

    Embarrassing as it is to admit, I'm finally getting around to developing some shot film I've had in my fridge for years. Obviously it wasn't on top of my list, but these pictures do matter to me, and...

    Old Photos & copyright

    Bottom line is, it depends whether anyone's been renewing those copyrights--or (wild card) if the copyright was ever taken out. As you gather, this can be a thorny topic, though John's right, in all...

    B & J 5x7 back

    I recently saw one in Central Camera in Chicago. I'm sure they'd send it to you if they still have it.

    Free 8x10 Announcement

    As another photographer who went to Deep Springs, I wanted to add my thanks as well--and a suggestion. Generations pass quickly at a school which replaces all its students every other year, so...

    Old vs. New Tmax

    There most certainly are changes to the processing times between old and new TMAX 100, Paul. Check with Kodak via their website or their 800# (800-242-2424 x19) for details. They maintain there's a...

    Beseler 5x7 diffusion enlarger

    That's the one! Thanks so much for posting the pictures, Wally.

    I imagine your manual will make this clear, but, going down from the lamp housing, I'm assuming the filter drawer comes first, then...

    Beseler 5x7 diffusion enlarger

    Wally, thanks again for sharing this information. It may be apparent from your photo, but just in case I'll mention that I'm curious about the negative carrier on yours. Your mention of the filter...

    Beseler 5x7 diffusion enlarger

    Wally, your post showed up while I was writing my last. I've sent you my address by e-mail, in the event that manual turns up. A photocopy would be a great help. What lens does yours have?

    Beseler 5x7 diffusion enlarger

    Thanks, Eugene, for that tip on the diffusion screen. It's definitely a Beseler--the plate on the back says "Beseler 5x7 diffusion enlarger." Since I don't have the head, I was just guessing it...

    Beseler 5x7 diffusion enlarger

    using the zone system for color...?
