Had it not been for Berenice Abbott, would we have heard of him at all?
Nawlins? Humidity certainly didn't bother Clarence John Laughlin none - he used a Korona. What about Bellocq? I kinda doubt he had anything to choose from BUT wood.
Beyond the Zone System, th ebook by Phil Davis, has plans for turning your spotmeter into a densitometer.
While we're on the topic....
Any thoghts on Andrea Modica's technique?
It's going to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. As far as I am aware, there was no attempt to adhere to any precise uniform code.
Typically though, a lens sold as a triple would be...
Mr. Patti,
Which do you think is larger? An Arri BL or a Phillips 8 X 10? A Sony Betacam or a Wisner Pocket Expedition? Which takes a bigger crew to run? And yet how many documentaries have...
The question isn't so much "Are they worth it to lug around?" as it is, can you afford it and do you want to?
Leica made similar devices for their cameras and provided you do the math, they work...
For a while Calumet sold a video and book called "The Large Format Advantage" - don't know if they still do or not. You might drop them a line and see if they have any.
John Craig though is THE...
My contentions with Fred relate to some of the advertising in his catalog, what he wrote about the Wisner products - hypocritcal considering who designed and built the first original Zone VI ...
What I don't understand is why Pentax doesn't do the mods themselves. They could sell two levels of meter (Zone and non-zone?) and cut Calumet out altogether.
Is Penn Camera still around?
Azo does very well in Amidol, Ansco 130, etc. I have been using it with Dektol which produces a blue-ish tone, which can be removed with selenium toning. It used to be common to complain of Azo's...
FWIW there was an article that sounds VERY similar to what you describe in one of the Aperture specials, the first "working with" or "On Location" I think it was called? Anyway, the article was ...
"We all know exposure to any kind of chemicals is bad. I've even heard the chems affect male sperm."
Is there any other kind of sperm?
Well on this forum Jacque Stackson occasionally contributes. She's a lady prof. and so kinda busy but she's out there with her 8 X 10.
As you say, there's Sally Mann, and Lois Conner and Linda ...
Brett Weston Master Photographer
The ABSOLUTE BEST reproductions of ANY photographers work I've ever seen. Well worth the $125.00 price tag IMHO
Could it be that the * indicates that that one is suppossed to be in the rear? or front? Maybe it's a mark for the factory folks to remember that that particular cell is part of a specific set? ...
I'm sorry, that should have been "Josef Sudek took 56 years to reunite with his right arm."
Didn't you see the article "Shooting Past Eighty" in Vanity Fair a couple months back?
The stuff under your sink is more hazardous than the stuff in most darkrooms. I am not suggesting you...
18???? Get that scale re-calibrated man! 18 ???
The wood partially accounts for the variations in weight (Spanish Cedar? Honduran Mahogony? Ecudoran ?) as does the metal (nickel plated brass...
This is pure insanity!

I dunno. I sold mine for $25.00 last year I think. I saw the same thing sell on Ebay a couple years back for 80.00 some? Can't recall now, but it was more than I woulda paid.
There is a nice...
According to Charis Wilson, in her book "Through Another Lens" Weston was one of many who read bernarr McFadden and swallowed it whole. He also believed that sunbathing was good for you and the...
Would you consider writing a more detailed account for the main page? Something to add to the good articles by Natahn Congdon, Pat Kearns and Tuan?
Well, like I say, I'm no engineer, but isn't the big wooden area under the strings on a piano called a sounding board? And isn't the back of a banjo called a resonator?
I'll bet these guys might have something to add...

I haven't seen any studies on the subject and am no engineer.
While it would seem "common sense" that wood would absorb vibrations better, at the same time consider the preferred material for...
It really makes a difference if you'll be working out of the back of your truck/car or going on long hikes. You can spend an entire day in one fairly small area and get a lot of work done. Think...
Here's what Rudy has to say
"In 1890 Ernst Gundlach, then living in ROchester, New York, patented a variant of the Rapid Rectalinear in which he used three cemented elements in each half instead...
"The reference also indicates that the lens is composed of 10 elements in two groups (is that possible with a triple convertible?)."
Indeed it is not only possible but quite likely for a Gundlach...
Pardon if this goes on to long. Probably belongs in another thread...
's far 's I'm concerned, "Art" is a guy who lives behind the bowling alley.
And to paraphrase the heck out of something...
My problem with Azo has never been green, but rather BLUE from Dektol. I've compared prints from the same negative on Azo in Dektol and in Amidol (although I can't say which of the many published ...
Sekonics off? Not been my experience.
I have a Sekonic L-398M and just had 3 Weston's CLA'd by QLM and when they came back they agreed SPOT ON with the Sekonic (which I've had since 89/90 I...
There are as many roads to heaven as there are people on the earth. Or something like that. It's a matter of taste. If price were no object I would still drive my '68 Dodge Power Wagon - I'd...
Well, except for something someone else mentioned, it sounds like you've got the bases covered. Look through the corners, take the back off AND you could try turning things around by looking...
From the wording of your post I am not sure if you mean that they are actively hostile to photography or just indifferent/apathetic. It can be difficult to speak with those firmly oppossed to...
Hey Alan!
Thanks, got it Thursday from Edmund in the mail. Don't know why but I couldn't access it on their webpage. Bob Atkins got me a link and I ordered it Monday, I think it was.
Why is the quality of the reproductions so variable?
In this issue Messers Fatali & Schory's work looks really good but Mr.s Spence & Kirby come off pretty dark and mucky. Similarly in the ...
I've been lucky enough to own both a pristine Beseler 4 X 5 from the early 80's (I think? it's blue - not black) and a "Berkey Omega Universal Pro-lab 4 X 5" with auto-focus that came from a U.S....
