Frame destination for me
As a note, I have cut plenty of aluminum Bainbridge frames using an inexpensive miter saw from Home Depot and an off-the-shelf aluminum blade. As long as you mind how you...
I use it for organizing and viewing my photos. I will also apply some global edits when all of my PS work is done.
Here are my tips. Ymmv
That's what I do. Everyone here has a different method I am sure. Each works well. The key is to get comfortable with what works for you.
There has to be about an inch gap between the starting edge of the glass and the holder. On an epson or aftermarket neg carrier this is solved with a u shaped spacer. The outer edges of the u tell...
I think this is very well done. I enjoy your composition and lighting.
Developer is your starting point. Stop Bath, fix hypoclear (If you use it) and photoflo or other wash aid have no effect on the image.
Once development is complete you can tone your negative in...
Fixer - use Ken Lee's recommendation.
I use two bath "art fix" from formulary. It's the same idea. No hypo, so no need for hypo clear.
I voted. I don't currently buy either. I saw the poll and it made sense for me to vote since I have used both films in the past. Then I read your long string of rules. Next time you might consider...
Sounds like you've made up your mind abut the hot plate type mixer. My thought is, unless you need to maintain a precise temperature or anticipate long mixing times it would be sufficient to use hot...
Hogwash. My ballhead gets my camera level infinitely faster than my 3-way pan tilt head ever could. It is far more stable to boot. I love my Ballhead and I'd never go back. FWIW, I have a plain...
Looks like a bellows problem to me. Check that your bellows are light tight.
I used rodinal 1:100 when I had a supply of tech pan. I loved the results. Tonality use were smooth and beautiful. And grain was nearly nonexistent. I believe I was rating the film at about 25iso.

I have used a sinar f2, Cambo and a horseman 450. As long as it is studio work, I recommend the horseman.
Everything I read about the F1 says I will like it more than the Shen Hao, which is why I sold my Shen Hao. I did like the set-up of the shen, but it felt flimsy and wasn't as well built as I would...
I am seriously considering the F1. For those of you that have one, I have a few questions.
1. Is the fresnel any good, or am I better off with the standard ground glass and upgrading that?
2....
I enjoyed it as well. Thanks for putting it together and thanks to all the participants!
Why not keep it simple? Maybe not quite what you were thinking, but what about a device that just trips the shutter once with each push of a single button? As far as times, all my shutters have the...
A DIY diffusion LED head.
I finally put together a dedicated space for my darkroom. It occupies an 8x14' corner of my basement and it should be enough to take care of all my printing needs for the next three years when I...
My image has been sent to Jewan.
Just in time! Two to go and I am excited to see the final result.
I shoot in northern Minnesota all year long. In the winter we regularly reach into negative 10-30's. Tomorrow we are expected to reach a high of -10 F. I have had older shutters malfunction in the...
I emailed him a few weeks ago, before his site went down. He never responded so I assumed he moved on.
I ended up building my own. Found it to be fairly easy. I'll put together a DIY article soon.
For light sources, I just assembled a diy LED head that was fairly simple. It has replaced my condenser and is just as bright. I have a little more work to do (to my darkroom, not the enlarger head)...
I am using a shen hao ptb45 and it is my favorite camera so far. I have tried many cameras and your camera preference comes down to your own personal feel. My strongest recommendation would be to...
If I took out 2 lenses I would not be at all troubled by the extra space. Like Kirk mentioned, it would give me room for something like a lunch or an extra layer or whatever. The main benifits I see...
I have a very similar kit. PTB 4x5 with 5 lenses and many similar accessories. I just bought a Photobackpacker P3 complete with cases for my camera and lenses. Personally, I love it. Everything...
I sold them my F100 for $60 more than the average selling price on ebay.
I notch my holders much in the "Way Beyond Monochrome" style. I record all the information I need on a sheet of paper. And store my negs according to size in binders only for a specific size and...
I recently had another wonderful experience with them. I had some gear that would have not likely sold for much here or over on ebay (besides I hate using ebay). I sold my gear to KEH. Got more than...
At one time leaches were used to cure people of illnesses and pregnant mothers were prescribed alcohol to take the edge of during pregnancy. Heroine was used as a cough syrup remedy for children and...
Boring on so many levels. The writer's view is nothing more than a way for him to garner attention. What I do find interesting are some of the comments, especially the well written comments. They...
Whatever, your body, I don't care much what you do with it. I was just warning others. Eye drops were stopped because if given the wrong dose, blindness could occur, so that is a good example of...
I should clarify, when done in a dilute solution and under low temperatures it will be safe to do with proper ventilation and no NO2 will be produced. If you heat the solution and carry out the...
Please do avoid this. Silver nitrate is highly toxic.
Add nitric acid.
I have used the Adox MCC 110 developed in Dektol. Gave me beautiful results. I also love the results I get from ilford paper, so what I consider a great result may differ from you.
Regarding cost,...
I've bought many items from them. I would have to agree that in the past BGN would almost always come with no blemishes and look excellent. The last two items I bought from them had schneideritis,...
Back when I shot color, I used my first box as storage for both exposed and unexposed film. The box is three layers, a plastic bag and some cardboard dividers. Just slip the exposed film on the...
Never mocked. I have had many comments though, usually admiration. People will often lament to their own days gone bye, "oh, I used to have one of those." Then they make some comment as if a spark is...
