    Zone VI/Aristo combo

    Neil, I'm hoping it does still work out. Aristo makes a head for the Zone VI 5x7. Apparently, nobody's asked Aristo about an 8x10 adaptation. The Zone VI 8x10 can be purchased without the light...

    Zone VI/Aristo combo

    Can the Aristo 8x10 head be easily adapted to the Zone VI 8x10 enlarger? Neither Aristo nor Calumet had any info on using one with the other. Thanks.
  5. What About Studio Lighting, Strobes, Etc.

    Hot lights are a good option for still life. You can buy a really versatile set of Arri's and Mole's for the cost of cost of one ProFoto pack and a couple of heads.

  8. Does Ilford make roll film MG Fiber 1K bigger than 42"?

    Ilford only produces paper in 42'" rolls which are then cut down into sheet sizes. Agfa produces some papers in 50" rolls. K&M Camera in New York is a good source.

  13. Black coating on 665 pack P/N, what a mess!

    I've seen mottling occur when using the Tupperware method, presumably from a lack of space between the negs. You're better off using the bucket designed for field use of P/N materials. Calumet...

    Mounting 30" X 40" Photos

    Just because a product says "archival" doesn't mean it is. Seal "archival" mount is removable so they call it archival. Archival Fome-Cor may be just as acidic as regular Fome-Cor except for the...

  16. How to process FIBER PRINTS after the wash step?

    The method described by Tony sounds like lot of work, particularly if you do more than one print at a time. I'm also highly suspect of the claim that there won't be any "dry-down". "Dry-down" is...
  17. Using VC Filters Below the Enlarging Lens

    Assuming you'll be using a glass carrier for your 8x10 negs, using filters above the neg would mean two more surfaces to keep dust-free. Also, filters in that size are really expensive. Use the...

    Super Graphic Lens Compatability

    Edward, I've used a Super Graphic with a 150mm Xenar for years and it's served me very well. Movements are obviously limited and not very elegant, but if your looking for a light-weight and robust...
  22. RIP Bromofort - another cold tone paper gone

    Try the Bergger NB. It can be difficult to find due to past distribution problems but is worth the effort. Addorama in NYC has started to stock limited amounts.
