Pack the cold gear!

As a native of this part of the country, my recommendation is to NOT hike alone.

That said, you should also be aware that most of the facilities will be closed/closing at that time. (visitors...

A perfect example of "critics" creating the personna......

A totally talentless and uninspired man with connections (and money) to create a career.

Such a witty response! I notice that you poke, but do not say that you have experience of their capabilities, nor that you have ever used one.

Go back to photo.net and troll there.

Call me a doubting Thomas, but I am VERY skeptical of all these claims about $500 scanners being incredibly wonderful - particularly these DMax numbers and trumped up resolution claims.

3200 ,...

This is very interesting. I don't know any LF shooters that shoot 120 frames in 6-7 days of hiking/camping. 20 frames a day..... I don't think I have ever shot more than half that on my busiest...

Check out Lenox Laser - best pinholes available, and very precise.

"I went from the 1680 to the 3200, and each new model is incrementally better ..."

Frank-

Going from the 1680 to the 3200 is not a step forward....

You can replace the tape cloth simply and easily with gaffers tape, or a similar product obtainable from Calumet.

Why not do the looking yourself - do a search of the archives, or go to Q.T's main page. There is more help there than you could digest in a month.

THEN if you have such basic questions, come back...

Hey Keith!

I am planning a visit to the Olympics this summer. I am interested in the beaches and the rain forest - any favored spots?

My mistake, Tim ....

I guess those of us in the tropics forget....

;)

I am in eastern Washington - well, the Idaho panhandle - and would love to participate in some "outings" in the Northwest (Wa, Ore, Idaho, BC)

If you get a group going, keep me updated.

My first LF camera was an old B&J 5x7 field that I totally rebuilt. As I was not able to buy new gear, I was able to get into LF on the cheap. Over the years I gradually moved from one type of field...

I think maybe you need another hobby! ;)

Art (which the definition of, these days, is so ambiguous as to be meaningless) and "original" are not synonymous -

If, what you produce has meaning or...

The CS50 is "electronic" but does not have a digital display. So maybe it is not a problem? But I am concerned about the circuitry in the cds probe. Maybe i am not correct in calling this an...

I've never been much of an Avedon fan, and judging by the photos at the web site, not likely to be a Laura Wilson fan either.

I recently picked up an old Omegalite D2. I have an Omega CS 50 timer, one of the old "autoexposure" probe jobs (that I never use).

I understand that most electronic timers won't handle an...

"I'm not sure if this would work, but it couldn't help "

Hmmm, I wonder why he should even try it?

Now that everyone had their blood up....

I think it is proper to discuss a photography magazine on this forum, to critique, complain, or flatter - that is no different than discussing the failings...

:..Instead of criticising, you should be out there refining your LF technique ..."

Hmmm. I was not aware that View Camera Magazine was worthy of such status to not be as open to criticism as any...

OK, so you know those little print dryers with the chrome plated surfaces and the canvas covers? Has a thermostatic control on the side. Premier, Arkay, et. al. ... Anyone own one of these? Can...

I agree with her statement. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest (top left corner, for you non-north Americans) - ;)

In our part of the world, nature and all its wonders are a part of the...

Plain 'ol river rock would be better - much denser and smaller - just clean thoroughly.

Thanks Ernest -

You'd think that after a number of years with LF, that I would have been able to figure that out! Another senior moment............

I am a bit confused about the actual field operation ....

If you cut the dark slide so that the handle is connected to 1/2 of the slide - what about the other half? How is that covered - just the...

"... the common method is hanging on a center line 56"-60" from the floor"

That is a ridiculous height! Are you sure you didn't mean 5'-6" to 6'-0" ?

4ft 8" is not a "normal" height for viewing...

Any experiences or knowledge on these old guys?

I am in need of an 11x14 spring back - brand not important, condition usuable, does not need to be pretty (or even nice!) -

I have been scouring the web, including the auction sites, but have come...

I have to agree 1000% with Jay. You will get no finer detail and grainless prints than with Tmax/Xtol - my second choice would be PlusX/D23 - but that's just my preference ;)

But again, as stated...

I thought I knew all about D series Omega enlargers - BUT - I recently found a piece that I have never seen before. It is a 6x6 filter stage that mounts between the condenser lamphouse and the...

Excellent products! They have custom made 2 bellows for me and a replacement for a Zone VI - all perfectly crafted. I would not think of taking my business elsewhere.

Gents -

If it ain't a Goerz, it ain't a "Dagor" - period.

O.K.

I am sold on finding a DeVere, BUT I have another enlarger related question for all of you in the know -

Can the newer Omega Universal Variable Condenser Lamp Housing be used directly on...

Thanks for your honest opinions -

I will mull this a bit more -

Thank you again.

Anyone attest to the qualities of this unit? I am concerned about availability/cost of accessories, especially neg carriers and lens plates. Any help would be appreciated.

Louis,

With continous agitation, how much less development time do you use?

It was my understanding that Q.T. was the moderator - when did that change?

50 - been shooting MF for decades - LF for about 8 yrs.

If you are looking for a reasonable alternative to drum scans that could save some money, you will not find it with the <$1,000.00 flatbeds. Period. The Epson 1680 Pro is likely the best flatbed you...
