Every one has valid points, however.... I have just moved from 5x7 to 8x10, and have found that the military has the right ideas for packs. They are comfortable to carry for long distances,...

I have the 4x5 with rotating back. Bought it on eBay for 15.00. Weighs a ton, has very short black bellows, probable not original. shoot a 180 lens max. I have done a little modification to it by...

I can kinda see where the f-stop print may help in control of print, but.. Has anyone used split-filter print method, and would the f-stop method work as well as timed steps at a set aperture? I have...

Couple of points made here and missed.
1) taking long-distance pics of the homeless without their prior knowledge
2) taking pics of any person without prior consent, and use of those pics for...

Or perhaps it is just that the US had a lot more media hype concerning photography than other countries. It is kind of like the old debate as to whether crime, etc is actually higher now than 100...

The lens is the 5x7. From the address brook listed, it shows 8 1/2 inch fl. The camera it was on is an 8x10 conley new view, that was used as an enlarger in an old studio. It has the 5x7 reducing...

I recently acquired this lens included with another deal and have not found much info on it. Somewhere I read that the portrait versars were also convertible-type lenses. YES/NO? And, this lens is in...

Yes I was, and yes I did. It just got above my means. I did bid, and was high bidder for a period of time. No defensive attitude. But why not give a heads-up to others in this forum? This same post...

No, I am not/was not in any way, associated with this item. Wish I was though. Damn sure wouldn't have sold it. If you loof at any previous postings from me, I am currently striving to afford a...

There are a lot of areas that cover bellows constructon, but none answers this question.... I recently acquired a Conley 8x10 New View BW Model with absolutely trashed bellows. Not even enough to use...

Having taken "Art" courses, as well as photography, and having studied the fine arts (music) I can well see where the differentiation is made between the two mediums. In all the photo courses, (two...

Or here. As it turns out, it is an 8x10 Conley with good clean clear lens, wood in excellent++ shape, extension, all geared rise/fall/swing, etc. Just bellows were shot. Just wait and you can find...

"As I said choosing the right tool can save you a lot of grief and save you money in the long run"

Driving a nail in the wall with a pipe wrench may work, but a hammer does it much better....

I have spent most of my adult life in a business that supplies high-end architectural products. A lot of my time was spent researching current market trends. There are a certain amount of designers...

For the price of it, unless it is liken to gold in your area. Toss it, learn from the mistake, and be better safe than sorry. I use dektol as a one-time use (when used) simply because of the low...

Strange that writing and photography is so frequently associated with one another in this discussion. I personally have always felt that they were closely related to one another. Where one conveys...

I am shooting a whole-plate Meager-style tailboard stereograph that was designed for slide-in type plate holders. (focus, drop-down glass, slide in plate holder, shoot. and all that without moving...

Is the New England area and the west coast where the biggest gathering of LF'ers are?
Am I alone here?
Can anybody hear me?
Hello?

My apologies too. Tequila and conversation regarding educational concepts do not mix well. I get very irate at instructors that spend their time "making eight and going home". I strive to learn...

Mark, I adamantly disagree with your generalizations and obvious lack of love for, and/or commitment to your work or the ethics involved in such. You seem to have undertaken a study that you have...

As a photojournalist student that just finished two years of photog classes, yes, there is a certain element of truth in "learn-by-doing". However, I had been shooting medium and large format for a...

I dunno guys. With four college-age females in the house, I have always adamantly told them to decide what it is you really enjoy doing, and would consider doing for the rest of your life, and pursue...

Read close. The schools generally state "....potential earnings of...", not guaranteed first-year earnings. Or ..."our graduates can expect to earn UP TO... their first year...". All it really takes...

I feel your pain, only backwards. (??) I was shooting 35mm, and very happy with the results. I went to 5x7, and luckily, although composition was 50/50, (and still is) the clarity of the shots were...

The lighting issue goes away "if" you have an area outdoors to shoot. We have done picture/painting repros, and out in the driveway under "natural" light conditions have rendered the best colour...

Whether the medium be photography, painting, sculpture, etc, if there is an exhibit that has points of personal interest in it, I will endeavor to attend. I do not care what the persons ethnic...
