  1. Re: Best Way to Store My Large Format Lenses

    I use Pelican cases with the old LowePro Omni inserts. They buffer temperature changes and provide a low-moisture environment, provided I swap out the silica gel cartridges regularly. Be vigilant...
  2. Re: The F.64 BPX Back Pack does not seem to have a place for a tripod. What do people

    Carrying your tripod in hand is a satisfactory approach for some terrain; depending on its weight, it might even be a better approach. Heavy gear strapped to a pack away from your center of gravity...
  3. Re: Rear element stuck on lens, need some ideas to get it off

    I'd recommend the freezer approach. Put your lens in a Ziploc bag along with some type of rubber gripping implement (e.g. a piece of an inner tube, as suggested.) The plastic will protect the lens...

    Another strategy for keeping your bare hands functional in the cold is to:

    The most recent Chamonix plastic 4x5 holders have an EKG (heartbeat) symbol on only one side of the dark slides. The dark slide locks are tiny (2-3mm) red buttons.
  6. Re: Quartz Lens/UV LED's for POP Projection Printing?

    As a stepping stone, I wonder if it would be helpful to evaluate light sources by making contact prints through a polished quartz plate. They seem to be inexpensive.

    Re: Finding Vivian Meier

    On the one hand, she seems connected to people though her camera; but on the other, she seems separated from them by the same. I think eccentricity and great art often walk a lonely path.

    Thanks...

    It occurs to me now that I misstated the problem. My problem isn't with Velvia grain, it's with the digital peppering artifacts from the Coolscan 5000. Regardless, I won't...

    Preprocessing TIFFs in ACR
