I currently use a Toyo 45CX and like it. Sure, the standards are a little unstable at times, but....

I would like to see how hard it is to jump into 8 x 10 from here. Is there a way I can...

Are we talking exposed or unexposed film here? I took a plane two weeks ago with my film (exposed) in the cardboard boxes and some still in the film holders and saw no results of fogging.

I must have had some bad binder clips because my 4 x 5 's would not hold in one of those. I use wooden clothes pins. I make sure it's only holding the edge of the neg though, because it will...

Not trying to abuse the forum, but I'd like to sell my Shen Hao. I've used it only 2 times, but I prefer my monorail camera for most applications. Happy shooting, Adrian!

Never....I at least take one shot.

I agree with Rob in that it is practice. If you like the shot or don't like the shot, you figure out why and learn from that. I took 20 shots when I went to...

Hey, you guys have me sold. Thanks!

Here are the facts. I mostly shoot landscapes in 4 x 5. I have a 90mm SA and I think it's good for some things, but just a little too wide for most. I would like to get some close shots and even...

I went the budget route, got the expert drum, but use it on my Uniroller. Sure, I have to pour the chemicals into a funnel connected to a clear plastic tube while the drum is spinning on the...

I am interested in finding a field camera with forward axis tilts. (pivots from the center, not at the base)

Can someone tell me what is out there? Thanks.

After switching to TMX in 4 x 5 and getting a better understanding of the zone system, I haven't really touched my filters. I do have a #8, #15, #25, #29, UV, and a circular polarizer. I do...

Ansel said that the negative was the score and the print was the performance. He meant that the negative was static like the score to, for instance, a song. The original artists could come in ...

Isn't it hard to duplicate Ansel's work if you go to Yosemite? That man has lived and visited Yosemite more times than any of us.

If you don't want to camp, there are some cheap (well, cheaper ...

I use a uniroller 352 motor base to agitate my jobo 2583. I use TMX 4 x 5 film. If you go to the info about the film under kodak.com, you will see developing times for 1:4, 1:7, and 1:9. I ...

After doing some tests and reporting earlier in this forum, I found that using TMAX RS 1:9 in a Jobo 2583 left me with streaking problems. When using it at 1:4, I had great results.

Now I've...

Hey Jonathan,

You could also go with the Phil Bard route. (http:// www.philbard.com) He uses Flash for his fade-in photo show. There is no way to extract any pictures from a Flash file. It is...

Brain,

When I did several film tests, I also got different filmbase plus fog densities, but for some reason my Zone I densities were always right on with respect to these fbpf's. I was taking a...

I use a Uniroller with my Jobo 2583 which is the 2nd largest tank of the 2500 series.

I use the Microtek ScanMaker 4. I don't know your price range, but I believe this model isn't too expensive. It is a flatbed with a drawer underneath the bed that has different trays you can...

Ansel Adams' book, "The Negative", has an excellent film testing procedures section at the back of the book.

I've got the GITZO G1329 w/ G1370M head for my 4 x 5. I was struggling with an old Slik till someone recommended Robert White. Then the price didn't look TOO bad.

Ansel got some of those great skies with the RED 29. I, too, am a sucker for those black skies and big white thunderclouds, but red filters turn forests into massive black blobs as mentioned in ...

I noticed you said "spring quarter". Well, Mamiya has a student purchase program. (www.mamiya.com/education) My photo teacher gave me a packet with an application in it. All I had to do was...

I recently purchased a Schneider 90mm f/8 Super Angulon with a Synchro Compur shutter from ebay. It came in a recessed Linhof lensboard. I have a Toyo 45CX. Will the Toyo recessed lensboard with...
