Friends,
The world of photography and particularly large format photography has lost a revered, important, and irreplacable member. Michael A. Smith passed away on November 16 at age 76. He is...
The Rodenstock Heligon 130mm covers 8x10 nicely. Rectilinear image with little distortion (or movements) Uncoated, no helicopter blades to get deal with.

One can use either of the Cooke's elements in front of the shutter, contrary to instructions, and enable focus at somewhat shorter bellows extensions than is necessary with the element behind the...
Really nice lens. Pleasure to use. This on a Canham wood field 5x7, natural light through kitchen windows.

Hi David,
Not a trivial problem at all, and one that I struggled with several times, finally realized that I have neither the dexterity nor the appropriate tools to do the job and took it to Bob...
And Bob (Watkins, that is) has been doing an outstanding job of working on my Linhof MT on several occasions. We are already planning for a couple of cams when he returns from training, thus far he...
Manfrotto 400?
Perhaps want to think about Keith Canham's cameras?? Outstanding build and service, though heavier than the RR (don't know by how much).

Hi Bob,
Lovely Master Technika, B571059. But I'm keeping her regardless, whatever you come up with for her age. She's a very graceful lady.
Thanks,
Larry
Years of digitally scanning and printing commercially processed film. Finally put in a darkroom so I can begin to learn how to make photographs. So far, haven't learned, but the process is...
Too bad they won't sell any to us poor unwashed. Pioneers only, whoever they may be.

Hi Bruce,
A couple of thoughts. I do use the top lashes, always have plans that never actually happen to use the loops with some carabiners, and do use the inside pockets. I'd be lost without the...
Are these guys for real? Many years, never heard of them and they have stuff in inventory that most dealers haven't had in years. What gives?
LJS
And all this time I just thought it was Newton's Rings and blamed Doug!
LJS
Looks like a fabulous piece of gear until you see the price. Ouch! That's an 8x10 kit right there. But on the other hand if it will get the camera out of the house, where it does nobody any...
The side pockets on the Photobackpacker P1 can hold six 5x7 film holders in each, seven if you like a really tight fit.
Larry
Great shots, great glass, got to give a lot of love to those lenses. That Euryscop just sings, though I think she's pining for a bouquet to shoot. And a Heliar never disappoints. Who needs depth...
I'll probably up my quickload request to ten boxes.

Enjoyed a 3772 for the last two or so years, use it for a Canham 8x10 with lenses up to 3+ lbs and as long as 30" with good stability, as well as assorted lighter weight cameras. Very happy with...
I use a Schneider 58/5.6 SAXL on a helical focusing mount without the short focus device on my Master Technika. It is a very nice setup that requires no special acrobatics other than dropping the...
I used the manual rear feed for cut sheets from rolls, but it was frequently difficult to get the printer to take the sheets because of the excessive curl. Flattening first would certainly help.

Open. It's too pretty looking at all the little green lights on the GFI outlets.

Hi Daniel,
If I might ask, what is your wet mounting procedure? It wouldn't be out of the ordinary for me to be screwing mine up somehow.
Larry
I found the most important step with the holder was adjusting the height for best focus. I think wet mounting does provide a small incremental improvement in scan quality, perhaps mostly by insuring...
Film holders would get even heavier to truck around with that Chinese lead added to the film emulsion.
LJS
I am probable, wishfully.

Hi Steve,
If the price is reasonable I'd be good for perhaps five boxes of each size, give or take, depending on the weather and the other usual variables that can influence film acquisition and...
yeah, seeing that picture inverted and reversed, trying to figure out how you get the darkcloth to rise when it's on backwards and wondering what kind of animal stands on the ceiling with an upside...
PM sent
LJS
yeah, but if you put water in the drum the film will get wet.
LJS
OK, so anybody got any good solutions for trying to truck an 8x10 Sinar P around? Even getting it down from the second floor of the house to the front door is daunting.
Larry
8 1/4" on 4x5 Portra 160NC.
Larry
Well, that was quick. I guess we don't need sleeves.
LJS
This simply means that the pocket is large enough to accommodate a sleeved negative. The 810-1HB gives you the option to use a sleeve or...
I've sent another query off to Print File with your quoted instructions, John. We'll see how they reply.

My current favorite paper is Hahnemuhle Museum Etching, although it is more textured than their rag paper (and a bit heavier) so may not be what you are looking for. I find it produces lovely...
Hi David,
I was having similar problems to those you describe. I had my Cube adjusted by Bob Watkins of Precision Camera in Niles, IL, the national service center for Arca-Swiss, and it's been a...
Has anybody had any experience with the Light Craft variable density ND filters? Not quite as pricey as the others.
Larry
Hi John,
I am also interested, emailed Marv today.
