Still kickin’ and reading. This forum is still one of the greatest sources of photographic information for everyone including digital as well as film.

Epson Legacy Fibre Paper was used for both size images. I have had problems with paper jams using the front "fine art" loader. Epson suggested feeding the larger sizes through the back, flip out...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have read elsewhere that turning off "high speed" printing would help to eliminate the banding problem. However, this option does not appear to be a choice on my...

I purchased the P800 printer a little over 7 months ago. To date, I've been very satisfied with both the color and B&W Prints. I am still using the original ink cartridges and printing on Epson's...

I cut "V" notches in the flap edge of each holder using the binary system as described in "Way Beyond Monochrome". This method requires fewer notches than other approaches. I am very happy with the...

I forgot to mention that I used continuous agitation during the stop bath and fixer cycle. I fixed the film for 5 minutes in Ilford Rapid Fixer, 1:4 dilution. After 3 quick rinses and a two minute...

Has anyone used Photoline, www.pl32.com?

Same as many others: Distilled water for stock developer solutions and final PhotoFlo treatment. Expensive tap water for everything else.

Eric;

Thanks for the update. I am glad you are still making these meters despite all the problems you have experienced this past year. I am looking forward to the lucky day when I can purchase...

Is metered light, LLC still in business? I have been on their "list" to purchase a pocket spot for over a year and a half and have not seen any updates posted to their web site,...

This has been a very informative thread. I also travel with a Mamiya 7II to complement my 4X5 for the same reasons listed above. However, I miss the ability to develop individual sheets (B&W) and...

Sekonic L-508 and occasionally a Weston V.

I visited upper Antelope Canyon a couple of weeks ago on a Friday. My wife and I signed up for the 2 hour photo tour at $45.00 each plus a $6 per person permit. I took my view camera but discovered...

I had a similiar problem a couple of years ago and Keith recommended using 3M Silicone Lubricant (Dry Type), Part # 051135-08897 which comes in a spray can. I apply a very light coat to the back and...
