Hello JJ,

Here in Florida it is very easy to obtain a concealed weapons permit. I have several pro photographers associates who have obtain theirs based on the fact that they are usually moving...

Hello David,
Thank You for the note on SK Grimes, that is a very reasonable fee for the task,
Paul

GEEZ Bob,

I'm really glad you told me that, I always use the slowest speed and an oil bath for the circle cutter I use. It is high strength carbon hole cutter bit. I do not think it produces as...

Thank You Bob,

That was a very quick answer! Oh well, I happen to have an old Linhof blank I use when I have a camera out without a lens to keep clean, so it is now a volunteer for the drill press...

Hello Everyone,

I have been searching the usual spots like B&H, Adorama, Midwest Camera Exchange etc for a "0.0" 27mm lensboard. I find (blank, 0, 1, 3) and I have been told that a 2 is a rare...

Hello Raymond,

I have not had the opportunity to use an agent but last year I did look into pricing prints specifically. The "Rule of Thumb" that seem to be unaminous in the particular discussion...

Hello Ed,
I use a bunch a lensboards like yours on all my cameras from 4x5, 5x7 & 8x10. All I do is make an adapter to fit whichever camera I want to use. This way all my lenses are mounted...

Hello Ron,

I use HP5 with D-76 1:1 and really like the results I have been getting. I shot a couple of boxes of T-max and it was very good but I seem to have been using 4x5, 5x7 & 8x10 HP5 film...

Hello Joerg,

I would suggest that you evaluate your needs carefully before spending any money. So far you have been told to approach large format with the three basic styles of camera, press,...

Hello Paul,
There are two clamping locks on the front and rear standards. When they are locked there should be no movement.

I THINK? the two screws you are referring to are the rear base...

Go directly to the US distributor. Bogen Imaging

Last year I was able to email Bogen's parts sales for Gitzo and buy replacement pads for my #5 low profile head. They...

Mike, thanks for the tip, Since choices are becoming more limited I'll have to give that a try. I use D-76 1:1 most times.

To John Cook, Thanks, now I know why I no longer enjoy driving!!!

Hey Dan, that was real dedication there to your scientific research but I thought we agreed to end the sacrificial part!!!

This is taken with Bergger but you can't tell much because it is for the web. . . Paul

This example you have requested would have to many variables for a good comparison.

Why? To start with why scan a print for the web? I always scan my negatives or transparencies. Next My 300 mb...

Paul, off center boards are fine you can always adjust to centerline the lens and groundglass. There must be a half dozen different brand names you can put on these Tachihara. Wista, Toyo, Linhof...

Hello Dan,
I must agree with you 100% I have always enjoyed meeting with the Florida Park Service folks as well as the Fish & Game, and to be quite honest the Florida Highway Patrol as well....

And before I get slammed I did not run a spell checker!!!

Our parks and wilderness belong to the country and all the people. Are there to many visitors? Apparently so, reading this thread, but as some seasoned park photographers here have mentioned timing...

Hey I thought the self-destroying Pinto had certain advantages!

No to be serious the large corporations will continue to consume each other and somewhere along the way sell off their equipment to...

Hello Jane,
I refurbished a 5x7 Conley last year and found that it was a well made light weight field camera. Congratulations on your new Old Conley. Hope you have a bunch of fun shooting with...

Hello Jerry,
I really recommend the pdf file to all because it also helps me with the use of my compendium shade on my view cameras. After reading the article and reviewing the diagrams on the...

Hello Jerry,
I went to the webpage and that is the best article I have seen regarding our topic. This morning I am going to line up my lens shades and keep trying until I get this down to root...

Hey Brian,
Just wanted to say you have a nice web site and I enjoyed the visit and your work is excellent. Also, I see you are a fellow Gator Alumni "Go Gators!". . . Paul

Way to go Paul, when you have had a chance to shoot some film and use a lens or two with your new Tachihara, come back and post an update for us to hear how you feel about the beautiful light weight...

I think the flat style calumet backs would work a polaroid and my Kodak sheet holder work fine??? My Graflex rollfilm graflok style holder do not but any flat one should??? You got me why a C-2 type...

Paul, another quick note, I just saw the Tachihara 45GF. There is one at that auction place with several images. It is the same identical camera as mine! Which I sort of suspected anyway but I happen...

Hello Paul

Like the image especially seeing snow tops now that it is 100 degees in Florida!!!

I can say that I like my Tachihara very much and it has not fallen apart in the 4 years I have been...

. . .and important footnote. . .the front standard on the 8x10 does rise more than the front standard on the 4x5. If this is a problem you can look for another standard or replace the post on the...

Axle, if you hunt you already have the front end! Get a bellows, a long rail and the 8x10 rear standard with the appropriate film size ground glass for your goals. I have the camera with three backs...

Ed I have not experienced scanning other than drug dogs walking by bags as they are on the dolly waiting for loading. If you are worried they sell a lead line bag at most camera shops called the Film...

Jerry, I'm trying but I am afraid my eyes are having a bit of a strain seeing anything! Perhaps I'll try a faster lens than the Artar which is f9.5 I'll try my 210 Fujinon W it is f5.6 maybe I'll...

Thank You Michael, I'll have a look I was unaware of the difference. Paul

I just wanted to ad that I have listened to the NPR radio article and gone to the lawyers webpage that post a rights handout and even got a copy.

In today's America you are not free. Think about...

I reckon we photographers have the responsiblity of being reasonable to the folks on the line. They have a job to do even if it invades our personal space and reason. As Brian pointed out we hear...

Allan I have that same one! My Stilson hat works too but the wax melts in the summer Florida heat!!!

Ernest, if the corners are gone (I think all my cameras have clipped corners) "What exactly am I looking for?"

I'm a bit puzzled here, Paul
