Time to order some fresh Kodak film!

Wow, these really seem to be a great piece of kit - especially for that price!

Thanks David and Ed!

Hi guys,

I've never seen this ingenious system. Robert Polidori uses it for his tele shots ...

Hi guys,

I've been reading up on processing C41 8x10 at home and still have some quesitons I cannot find answers for. So thank you for helping:

My quesions are:

when using a Jobo 3005

a)...

And don't laugh about the film idea either. Fotoimpex bought all the AGFA machines and could market colour emulsions pretty quickly. It's just that right now with kodak dominating the colour market...

I know that it sounds unrealistic at first. I'm just interested in different points of view and I believe that there's always a way of doing something that was thought to be impossible at first if...

Rick,

whouldn't it be possible to take all this:

1) Vuescan scanner software know-how, input from Ed Hamrick, developing stitching algorithmy

2) Digital Scanback-technology based on...

Leigh,

So in essence that does mean that one would need a far more accurate microstepping device? This probably couldnt be replaced by hand with higher end components?

What i do not understand...

Ok to clear some things up: i own an iqsmart 2 and dont own a v700. But recently i visited a photo store nearby where they had an epson on exhibited attached to a pc. The v700 is much smaller and...

Hi guys,

why is it that the popular Epson V700 series scanners fail to deliver their claimed resolution of 6000+ dpi?

Why is it that flatbed scanners from the 1990s still deliver superior...

or do a joint venture with the guys from the impossible project. they have done a fairly well marketing job and might be open to a line of conventional film. or you just migh outright help them to...

Do color/b&w infrared sheet film in 8x10. That would be cool, to be able to shoot like that -> richardmosse.com.

Hi guys,

I was always fascinated by Atta Kim's 8-hour-long exposure project:

As baggage, I live in Europe and most airlines have a carry-on weight limit of about 8kg, which undoubtedly won't suffice ... :(

Hi guys,

in order to transport an Arca-Swiss 8x10 F-Line Metric system (by separating the monorail from the smallest monorail unit where I plan to leave the two standards attached),

a) what...

But what happens when water drops touch the emulsion? I tried to get the slide as dry as possible but im afraid that i wasnt able to completely keep it dry when reinserting the slide after exposing....

Hi guys! I just came back from a outdoor shooting and while photographing it started to rain very lighty and my film holder insert got a little wet while i was exposing. I will have no ligjt leaks...

John, du you mean they then correct the converging lines in software to get that look?

Or what excactly do you mean this? In order to get a full vertical of the ceiling i have to be below the...

Thanks guys!

@Gilbert & @John: What do u think about the second link? I find it crazy how the top of the libary gets distorted. Is this possibly a 120mm lens? Problem is, u wouln't have any room...

Hi guys,

I wonder what focal lengths one needs in 8x10 to get this perspective from the center stage of an opera:
...

what exactly doesnt make sense?

I disagree with both statements.

First, I have certain qualitative requirements concerning sharpness if I print something. Of course you can drum scan a piece of film at 11 000 DPI and get huge...

ok i ll come back when i do a controlled test ... hopefully i find time ...

I find Tim's effort important, interesting and would like to remind anyone that there's no duty to ready threads that do not interest you. Thanks Tim!

Is that a sarcastic comment? Don't understand ...

My point simply is, that the detail I can extract of reproducing a 4x5 chrome with an 80 MPX back isn't so much inferior to a controlled shot of a similar, real-life scene with a digital lens when...

To conclude, the 4x5 is possibly a little less sharp and detailed than the 80 MPX shot; but 8x10 has 4x times the area, so in my opinion it is safe to say that an expertly executed 8x10 shot with the...

THIS IS A CROSS-POST OF A POST ON LULA I DID IN ORDER TO BRING IN MY FINDINGS REGARDING THE 8x10 vs 80 MPX DEBATE

Hi guys,

I'm writing this because I've been eagerly following the discussing...

wow, the micrograph looks a lot better ... have you ever tried stitching a few of those images togehter?

what scanner did you use there? Your howtek or your Epson?

Tim, this is really, really great. I think you can contribute a valuable perspective with a second test.

A few suggestions:

1. Try to contact a big, professional rental studio and do a...

Thought this might be a fun thread! If anyone has photos of famous photographers with their LF gear or simply at work ... post them here!

I will start with:

Hi guys,

I just came across this sales post:

Hey guys, thank you for your comments, but for more striking examples please look at the church picture and the pantheon picture in rome of struth in this page: they look almost like paintings and...

Hi guys,

I realized from looking at some pictures from famous photographers, that there's a certain color look - besides the fact that it isn't digital - to older LF photographs.

This LF color...

Wow.

Simon, I really like your images! But why do distant objects become so much lighter, as if there's some kind of fog? Is it just the effect of overexposure? Especially on the far left of post 924?

so about 10k if you correct for inflation ...
