I'm sure quite a few people who attended the VCC in Springfield bent the ear of the Ilford and Kodak reps about ULF film. Eric Luden, who is Ilford's Boston area Sales Manager, told me Ilford was...

A year or so ago a consortium was put together via this forum for a group purchase of presentation boxes from PortfolioBox in Pawtucket, RI. I thought the boxes were beautiful and I believe...

Hub Photo is the importer or manufacturer.... a few keystrokes will have you at their doorstep.

Grimes either sells them or can point you in the right direction.

Good Luck

Buy a Simmons Temptrol [ or equivalent], a decent thermometer with fitting and call it a day. Unless you are doing high volume, E-6, or interested in wowing your photo friends; you're wasting your...

Hey there,

This is a fairly basic modification that any strobe shop should be able to execute.

You're just swapping the male connector for the style that Speedotron uses.

The tri.lite is...

Hey there,

This question has come up at least once in the last year or so ....you might want to check the archives more carefully. There were many suggestions.

Printfile 1620-2 print sleeves...

I believe we've entered the circle of confusion.... so let's talk about that too.
Tally Ho!

A more current significant event in Springfield was the manufacture of the first Indian Motorcycle..... 1902. If you don't visit the Indian Motorcycle Museum while you're visiting, Arnold will call...

Variation 1... the Davio shutter>>>> Cut a clean hole in the center of a 4x5 film holder, the edge of which will support, say... a Series 9 retaining ring, the stepdown adapter of your choice, or...

The only drawback is that it doesn't work. The aperture needs to between the lens elements. If mounted behind the lens, your rig becomes a fixed aperture [wide open] lens with a vignetting device...

Try Bob Korn Imaging in Orleans, I believe they do C-41 8x10. If you come up short there, try Color Services in Needham, which is just west of Boston, one hour from the Sagamore Bridge. Good Luck.

I believe the FSs were designed with only a front rail. The Koronas were, I think, designed with a rear rail allowing greater bellows extension. My 7x17 Korona has a rear rail and about 30 inches of...

That sucker might be too dangerous for me to own.. Last summer I got a whiff of something at the studio and started to look around for the source.....skylight + Luxo magnifying lamp..... bad...

Has anyone had any success locating inexpensive [or less expensive] fresnels for use on an 8x10 or larger camera? I'd like to find something for my 7x17 [optimized for a 12" lens] and not break the...

Being a rooted it the traditional methods, I only believe in camera negatives and a 350 degree oven >>>pop the film packet in and when it springs back after light finger pressure.... It's done!

Don't overlook the Leonardo made by Pinhole Resources. Eric Renner is the author of THE pinhole book. Good luck.

Micro tools sells a concentrate called Magic Green... might last you a lifetime. While you're at it, try some AK255 solvent. Good luck.

Without getting weepy about this...this is a comercial listing, complete with a website address. One posting is adequate.

Try William Paul & Associates in White Plains,NY. They cut HP5 and FP4 from bulk rolls. Same price as Photo Warehouse, but they have HP5 in addition to FP4.

I think Ilford says the factor is log 1.58 for both FP4 and HP5. I used this recently for some close up work and found it to be fine with FP4. A 2 minute metered exposure resulted in an adjusted...

I recently read Laura Wilson's book that cronicles Avedon's photographing In the American West. While many of the above seem very close to home, I'll only admit to the mistake of not having two...

I don't use a VC head, but if I recall correctly, I was trouble shooting something related to the photocell via phone with Metrolux and the conversation turned to VC heads and the photocell. My...

The Metrolux timer is compatabile with the Z VI photo cell... you only need an adapter to connect the two ... RCA to something. The Metrolux timer has one added feature that I love... a shutter...

I purchased a print by the Man [AA] in the 70's. At some point I examined the print very carefully... hoping that I might find the holy grail or the true meaning of Zone II. No, I didn't find either,...

I believe they shoot 5x7 and only in overcast light, as you can see. Finding a strong shadow in any of their prints is like Where's Waldo. I'm particularly fond of their book Blast Furnaces. Art in...

Nick, I'm with you. I was having my 50mm Distagon cla'ed a few years ago, when I asked the technician, a very meticulous and fastidious person [ Hasselblad trained], if he had any ideas for a front...

One thing to consider is whether the older II is supported by Minolta. If it can't be repaired .... it won't even serve as a boat anchor at that weight. I love it when service say... "...well it's...

You might consider taking your meter to a pro camera store that sells color meters... compare yours and a new one under varied lighting conditions.

The standard Sinar 4x5 bellows extends to about 16 inches. Horseman made a longer bellows [that is Sinar compatible] to go with the Horseman expanding rail ... you would need to add a Sinar...

You might want to try Asahiklin AK225, manufactured by [www.]TechSpray[.com]. This has worked very well for me. Lighter fluid will work... but this is a light duty degreaser that camera...
