1x2 redwood strips over three lengthwise strips.

I use cameras by Deardorff--8x10 OS, 8x10 new, 5x7 OS; Busch 4x5; Leica IIIa, M2.
There is no problem switching as I chose them for what they can do and how they work. The others I have sold or...
I have a 138 with an adapted color head, although I only do B/W. The enlarger came that way!

I've been using a plywood sink for about 25 years. I use a polyurethane exterior finish and recoat about every 10 years or so.

I have the same base and replaced the switch with a dimmer suggested by an electrical supply store. It works OK and can be dialed down to about 28 rpm. film development is even and repeatable with...
I use a Bessler tube and base for processing. I modified the base by putting in a varaible switch and set it to the slowest rate I can get it to turn at. Total cost: base $15, tube $1, switch $19.95....
All of the above applies. Just remember that the image is its own justification. The image either works, then whatever you did id OK; or it doesn't, in which case whatever you did was not sufficient....
I have one in a box if you want to pay the shipping...

I've used black silicone sealant--it can be brushed quite thin, dries pliable, permanent, after dry, won't stick to anything, and seems to be opaque as a hole-plugger. It can be applied inside or...
However, a $99 Tiltall does exactly the same thing, albeit a few seconds slower and without as much pride of ownership.
There are plenty of good options. We haven't even discussed nice wooden...

5x7 gear is not much more heavier or bigger --> delete "more", insert "so" after "not"
While five years ago there was only a couple of field 5x7 --> "were"...
Are you at the Art Institute? I was there for a conference a long time ago and was impressed with the whole place and the beauty of it. Any one of the often mentioned view camera books will be of...
Thanks, Frank!

In 1997 in Rocky Mtn Nat Pk, mountain lions were eating people. I saw several warnings with details of recent mishaps while hiking photographing there. Never saw one, but we were travelling in pairs....
I have my 27in. x 8 ft. CDX plywood sink coated with a couple of coats of exterior grade polyurethane and I have to recoat it about every 15 years -- done twice so far.

Welcome, Paddy! Hoist a few pints of bitter for me as well. The cornfields of Indiana are gray with envy.

Hallo, Armin!
Beim Deutsch--ja, sicher! Sonst bekomme ich keine Uebung. Im Moment unterrichte ich nur Englisch...

I use a Kelty Redwing (lg) for my 8x10 and have about 4 inches estra on the side and top, and enough space in the front for 6 film holders. If you post dimensions of the camera and holders, I will...
I used a piece of black bellows material. I have replaced it with a piece of black rubberized raincoat material. In a downpour it is waterproof, folds small (6x8x1/2 inch), and is quite dark. I paid...
I have a Marchioni Tiltall and a Star D tripod and the handles from the Marchioni will fit the Star D, but the locking mechanisms, legs, and column do not.

Hallo, Stewy!
What is the name of the German LF site? I am a former German teacher and would like to see what they do. Wie heisst diese Site? Ich bin ehemaliger Deutschlehrer und sehe gern was da...
Welcome, Nicole!

Welcome, Enio!

The same basic argument was used to decry the death of painting as a result of photography, the death of lithography due to the offset press, and the death of the spear at the introduction of the bow...
4x10 can be had with a splitter from an 8x10. 5x8 and 4x5, also. For a cheaper way to get there, and 8x10 film will always be available. Perhaps not as snazzy as a 7x17, but perhaps more practical,...

Greetings from the midwest. With the way things in ULF are going, is 4x5 even LF any more? I once worked a little with a truly UULF camera--19 ft long, 5x7 ft back 7x9 ft copy board, lens like the...
There was a bit about "World War Z" on NPR today. Should we be worried about photographing public monuments? interesting people on the street? mountains? I think it should be a matter of personal...
Go for 8x10--if the film were to stop, there will be paper--just like in the good old days. Seriously, the reports of the death of 8x10 film are greatly exaggerated...

Great idea. This is the kind of thinking that the pioneers in photograohy did. By the way, when you want a really big print and project on the wall, do you have to tilt the house?
Michael
And as for cheap: price a new Phillips 8x10, a couple of new lenses, film, darkroom, enlarger, etc. and see whether a small house might be cheaper... And that doesn't even include the digital stuff...
As an English teacher, I can affirm that the sale of essays goeth forth (and fifth and sixth). Mastercard, et al. What language do these students speak? I looks nothing like the English of many of my...
I would go for a Busch Pressman model D, 135 f3.8 Xenar (Linhof) and a Grafmatic (6 shot) filmholder. It is smaller than the Graphics or Technicas, all metal, has Kalart Vue-Focus top rangefinder and...
As for strange: remember Franz Kafka is from Prague. I think the "strangeness" is from the compacted cross-fertillizing nature of the "East meets West" cultures and the dark, dramatic landscape....

I always set up my holders empty, but set with the unexposed slide out. I pull the slide open about an inch or two, holding the holder in my left hand (I'm right handed). I open the flap and locate...

I use fiber, but have students with whom I work use plastic, because it is easier with which to work.
