Try a blue filter.
Note to Wesley: You can't recognise a fault in someone else unless you also have that fault. Did you notice any condescension in your post?
Unless you plan to do large prints that you don't have enough enlarger elevation for, I recomend the 150. I know I can do 20x24 with a 150 on my 45vxl. I haven't tried 24x30. I am fortunate in that...
4.5 volt batteries are still available at radio shack. They are listed for a mac computer.
My vote is for fp-4 in pyrocat-P. If I was going to have a lab do my stuff, I would probably shoot Xp 400@ 200. I find it is more forgiving for a wide latitude of shooting.
I have never regreted getting into the lee filter system.
What formats are you shooting now?
Roger,
The caliber for 8x10 is claymore.
I contacted schneider about a scale for my 240 G-claron, as it is one stop off. I was quoted $90.00.
Mark,
"These are all "low budget" tessars, and it's psychologically hard for me to move to a cheaper lens, even though it likely performs on par with its more expensive cousins."
Vanity has...
Ted,
Thanks for the info. There is just one thing that sticks in my craw, they're in the store but no review units? Don't they have a production line? Won't a random sample work? Are the review...
I'm just curious as to what conditions you experienced to ask the question?
Mike,
I have a 210 macro sironar. The front and rear elements are interchangable in the shutter, depending on what magnification you are using.
I've had my 8x10 Salsman for about a month now and I'm enjoying it very much. I got it, with two companons, for about 1/3 the amount you are talking about. As nice as they are, as much as they are,...
Howdy,
I think you are going to have to get one the same way as you got what you have. You indicate you have the manual. If you already have the head and need the controller you'll just have to...
Is the shutter rebuildable? I would rather have the old shutter in good shape than a new copal. One of the things liked about old lenses was the smoothness, which I think personally has to do with...
I think if I was going to expose for scan only, I would make them a little less contrasty than I would for printing normal. Then again most of my negs are keyed to Azo and carbon, which might tax the...
Let's see, knee surgery 16 years ago, cataract surgery 10 years ago, pacemaker 1 1/2 years ago. I'm holden' up pretty good for 57.
I don't know if I would take a new one if available. I would prefer one of the older shutters with many iris blades.
Put paper in printer. Immerse printer in tub of Dektol 1:1 for two minutes with agitation. Sorry, I broke my brain and I can't get up.
I agree with Ralpf for the most part. The advantage I saw is that I didn't need to switch to a 135 for larger printing. True there are less 5x7 enlargers out there. Let's say there was only one, and...
Phil, I would consider it bokeh. If it is as has been described, the quality of the out of focus part, anything out of the depth of field would fall into the bokeh zone. It would all be bokeh no...
I find selective focus very useful to get a three dimensional effect on a two dimensional medium. Very useful in directing the viewer thru the print.
Not to worry, It's the same end as if it never happened. The worst view is that the fixer has been used to develop one roll so far.
I have one of the grafloc backs for my wizner. It works good but you have to setup and then remove the two thumbscrews then install the roll film adapter and take the shot. The back was $200.00 and...
I cranked it all the way up and got about 4' square out of 12" square coldlight. About a stop dropoff from center to edge. But that is farther than any neg goes. I dropped it down to 20x24 size. Wide...
I use a 300 rodagon and have not found any softness to the image at the edges, checking with my peak. I just got the enlarger and have only made 20x24 so far. Now my interest is peaked. I'm going to...
Totally cool. The neighborhood I grew up in is totally different now.
I'm not sure of the adapter sizes, but I agree with the recomendation for the wide lens shade. Be sure to get the wide angle version of the adapter.
I enjoy a site that is frequented mostly by grownups.
Congrats Kirk. Where can we get them?
1. Monsters and madonas / William Mortensen
2. BTZS / Davis
3. Dune / Edward and Brett Weston
4. Mortensen on the negative / William Mortensen.
You only said four, so Ansel just wasn't up to...
I think your going to like that lens. I have one also. I printed with it for the first time last night. I just aquired an 8x10 Salsman off the bay. My back is still sore taking it down, hauling it...
I would also check the holder to make sure that there isn't a clip that you might have inadvertantly pulled off previously, therby not letting the new sheet lock in .
I don't see anything I can't live with. Thanks to all who worked on this.
I second Jim, forget the commercial and get the wide field. I know the wide field is a lot more money. There IS a reason why.
Dektol 1:1 for enlarging, Amidol for contacts.
I'm gaining quite a fondness for grads. Much easier than the darkroom and it's done in a click.
For that money, I second Peters recommendation. A deardorff with no front swings. It does have front tilt. I use a V-8, and sometimes using back tilt changes the perspective in a negative way. You...
As long as you don't expect front movements, or a real rigid camera, I think you can get one fairly reasonable. I'm thinking 2D, or something like that. Cheap is a relative word when it comes to...
