Raymond,

I had the pleasure of attending a general darkroom class with Steve Anchell last summer at the Cape Cod Photo Workshops.

Mr. Anchell has strong opinions about what is right and wrong...

I'm seeking advice on what to place my enlarger on. I have an Omega D5-XL, and an 8 foot ceiling. I print 4x5 as well as MF and 35mm in 8x10, some 11x14s and occasionally a 16x20 - although I would...

Stephen,

If your son is like the rest of the NESOP students, he'll dump the 4x5 after first semester, when it's no longer required. I've taken evening workshops at NESOP, and it seems like the...

Sorry, forgot to add that I process 1 sheet of negatives (1 roll 35mm, 1 roll 120, 4 sheets 4x5) at a time.

Mario, Claudia,

I used the manufacturer's recommendation for sheet film as a starting point, and worked from there...

Not that I'm displeased with my results, but if I had the money I would...

Mario,

I fill my 2500 series tank until it's almost full - about 1.4 liters. With the exception of the devoloper, I reuse all the other chemicals.

Development has been uniform, and I'm more...

Mario,

I Use a Jobo tank to hand develop my sheet film. Yeah it takes a lot of chemistry (I fill it up and develop only 4 sheets at a time), but chemistry is cheap (and re-useable). I agitate...

Bill,

He's on the faculty at MassArt (Massachusetts College of Art), why don't you give him a call? 617.232.1555 (main #) Website: www.massart.edu

Hailu,

The Calumet 400 series does have a change-able bellows system. You could send a camera in to Calumet to replace the bellows since they have all replacement parts available, but you...

Just curious as to how much draw is needed for a tabletop shot with a 210mm lens . Or how about 90mm, or 135mm for Macro work? I have 18" on my current camera - but the bellows is not...

I find it easiest to take notes with a sharpie directly onto the ziplock bags that I pack my film holders in. This prevents me from losing little pieces of paper, or notepads. Later, I'll...

Anything containing George Hurrell's portraits, perhaps - Hurrell's Hollywood Portraits: The Chapman Collection by Mark A. Vieira.

Hisun,

I hand invert my jobo 2500 series tank, just as I would a smaller stainless steel tank for 35mm and MF.

Sorry for the delay, went away for Turkey day.

After taking a workshop with Steve Anchell (Darkroom Cookbook fame), I purchased the 2500 tank to process 4x5 sheets. I process 4 sheets at a time, and fill the tank up to almost capacity. I...

I have a 215mm F6.3 Ilex Caltar that's great. It's not the latest and greatest multi-coated wonder, but it's sharp and not particularly flare prone.

I only shoot black and white so I can't...

I have a Calumet CC400, and love it for tabletop still lifes. I've gotten some nice images with this camera.

However, I have found the lack of interchangeable bellows, and rear rise and fall to...

Thanks to all of you for your advice. I have a better idea of what to look for in the used-equipment sections...I'll no longer be searching blind. Thanks again.

I have searched through the archives, but haven't been able to find an answer an d am hoping for a suggestion on a "new" camera.

I have a Calumet CC400(01) 4x5 Monorail that I've used for about a...

Has anyone done any "event" type photography with a speed or crown graphic, flas h, and a polaroid back?

It seems like it would be fun, in addition to your other equipment. I realize t hat its...
