Mark,
I have the large (but not the largest) Harrison tent, and had them modify it with two pockets, one on each side. These pockets allow the large filmholder darkslides to extend beyond the...

Martin,
I use a similar method for my B+W film. I shoot 8x10, 7x17 and now 12x20, so bringing multiple boxes for film into the field is sometimes impractical and very bulky. Additionally, with...
QTL,
I have been thinking about the same thing since I made my first digital print last fall, and it became apparent to me that the old status quo is no longer the best way to work! (for me,...
Hello all,
I have been using 4x5 and 8x10 filmholders in a changing bag for the last couple of years without too much dust problems.
I now am also using some banquet cameras (7x17 and 12x20)...
In response to Bill's post above---
Bill, don't send the poor guy on a snipe hunt! I assume you made a mental error, because Fujinon did not make a 210A lens. They made a 180A, 240A, 300A,...
Pete,
Does this problem occur when there is no film in the holder? Like Armin above, I only have the problem when the film is not inserted all the way in. At that point, the edge of the film...
John,
You may want to check out Case Design Corporation at:
www.casedesigncorp.com
They make the Fiberbilt cases and a whole lot more. They can custom fit foam to a case, add dividers, and...
Nathan,
I haven't used Palladio, but the comments I have heard from some that have tried it is that the results are quite inferior to those from a hand coated print.
I believe the consistancy...
Nathan,
Carbon arc technology has been around for a very long time. It was used as the first electric lighting technology for towns in the 19th century.
Here's my concern about using a...
Thanks for the pointers everyone...
Since the weather threatens in the East, I moved up my departure to tomorrow morning. I've printed out your thoughts, and I'll try to include some of them in...
Erik,
You have a bunch of choices in lenses to fit 7x17. I can tell you about only a few, because I have only a few for mine.
In the Modern lens category, there aren't too many, but the...
Hello group,
I going to be in southern AZ for two weeks starting next Monday, and I have a fe w days to photography that are not committed to other things.
I am not going to shoot color film...
Nathan,
I just came across the entire article I had mentioned above. It's at the Photo Techniques website at:
http://www.phototechmag.com/previous-articles/nov99-weese/nov99-weese. htm
So,...
Nathan,
I haven't tried pyro yet, but Carl Weese wrote an article for Photo Techniques (NOV/DEC 1999) that was quite good. He is actively involved in the alt-photo discussion forum, and would...
Jose,
One thing thet you must remember with a lens like the Schneider 58mm XL is that it barely has the image circle to cover a 4x5 at infinity. This means that you will not be able to put the...
Andreas,
You're not looking at the correct quote in Bob's original message. My statement was only in reference to the first quote and the use of the word 'theoretic'. If you look at thta...
Kerry,
I think that we're splitting hairs here, however, I contend that the original statement that the curves are theoretic is absolutely correct.
The American Heratige Dictionary...
Paul,
You may want to look at the filter holder that SK Grimes makes. It is designed to slip over the outer rim of the lens, not thread into the inside rim. It is intended for use on lenses...
Bob,
I disagree. Your quote specifically says "calculated." Now, if your quote had said "measured" or "a representation of a statisitcal sampling" they you could claim that the curves are from...
One additional note I neglected to mention:
They are identical lenses, so there is no reason the apertures should be different.
Thanks,
---Michael
Hello all,
I have recently purchased two 150mm copy lenses that have been remounted in shut ters. The aperture scales were done by two different people (before I purchased them). Now, I was...
Has anyone seen the new NPS QL film yet? I checked a few places (B&H, Adorama, Abbey), and didn't see it listed, so I called Fuji Technical Support to find out if it has arrived yet. They didn't...
Good hints, everyone.
Mine is one that seems fairly obvious, but most people never think about it until they have run into the problem.
I put a cable release on each lens, and curl it around...
Michael,
Michael's right on the money here. I can't imagine carrying a 7 or 8 pound set of wooden sticks out into the field when you can get a CF tripod that comes in in the range of 4 1/2...
Thanks for the thoughtful comments, everyone.
Let me clarify why I am looking at the 80mm SS XL. I travel pretty lightly when away from the car, and I would prefer to have a smaller and lighter...
Hello all,
In 4x5, I am primarily a color landscape photographer, using a Canham DLC and an ever-growing assortment of lenses from 75mm to 450mm. My intrests are primaril y in mountain and canyon...
Thanks, guys.
I did send the lens back, and the retailer agreed that the shutter needed to be replaced. (I can't figure out why they sold it as '100%' when there was so obvious a flaw!)
I...
I have to agree with the comments for the Harrison Tents. If you don't need to travel light (working near a car) then get the larger one (the medium sized one). It's very roomy, makes film...
Carl,
That what I thought, but I was just told by a representative from Lotus that their holders meet the ANSI specs. I am trying to figure out what that means.
I'll post some information on...
Further search on through the links reveals this ANSI document.
ANSI/PIMA IT3.108-1998 Photography (Accessories) - Double Film Holders of the Lock-Rib Type - Dimensions (revision and...
Hello all,
I am intrested in finding out if there are ANSI standards for banquet format fil mholders. Specificly 7x17.
I did some searches on the ANSI.ORG site, which linked to another site...
I recently purchased a lens that was supposedly rated and ex+ from a dealer in B oston. I received the lens, and superficially, the lens is fine.
However, the shutter has an unusual problem that...
I have heard the WF Ektar will _just_ cover 8x10, whereas the old single coated Fuji W will easily cover. Just make sure the Fuji is the single coated version.
The modern Fuji is, as Sal...
Well, I have done some searching, and have found no information on the 'Pony', but it does not appear to be a Seagull camera, as the Seagulll sites only have their TLR listed. Any one with input...
Has anyone seen or heard of a Chinese panorama camera called the 'Pony'? There' s one on ebay, and I had never heard of it before, so I don't have any idea whet her it's a piece of junk or not.
...
I understand that there is a waiting list of two years now on the Phillips 8x10 Explorer camera! I heard this recently from someone who had just talked to Richard Phillips.
Earl, if weight is a...
Thanks, Everyone for the input. I'll check out the packs mentioned above. Maybe one will be large enough to accomodate this beast.
In response to Sergio, yes, that was one of my photos from the...
Hello, oh group of sages,
I purchased a Canham 7x17 camera this past summer and have been on a search for a method to carry the camera since then. I have not been able to find any panel -loading...
Wow,
I've been away from the internet for the last three weeks, and this thread hit me like a ton of bricks when I read it!
I am amazed that Fatali was able to go so far down a destructive...
The lamps used in aquariums (AQ and AQA) are considered acceptable by some people for platinum/palladium processes. I personally haven't used them because the normal BL and BLB lamps are far more...
