fantastic work on the camera

basiltahan would you mind sharing your reversal process or can you direct me to one? Thank you for your help

I've had to put my direct positive test aside for the past few months but I am looking to start up again using my 4x5 instead of the 16x20 until I can get closer on my image result. I have a quick...

I was back and forth on this myself for a long time with my fist camera build that I just finally finished. I tried to fold about 6 months ago and it was a total failure. Then I came across this...

Jon- I've been down this road myself, what I found was that the more teeth and the larger the gear, the more control you'll have. keep in mind that weight of your standards with the lens and film...

@Randy - is this last one no preflash vs. preflash? if you did preflash, did you preflash in camera?
thanks

Its been 6 months in the works, several design fails and so many design changes I can barely remember where I started but I have finished what I can only consider a working version #1. I already...

@SMBooth I love the tonal range on this. your preflash seems to do the trick to keep more zones. Any chance you could share your preflash steps? thanks

stunning work Ed, they are both great portraits and both should be considered beauty, they are both an intimate look at how beauty can be perceived.

gandolfi, these are great! thats the look I'm after. It good to hear that you did it with a 540 it makes me feel better about the 600 hoping it covers. now I just need the 16x20 camera and film...

Graybeard,
thanks for looking out for me. I just picked this up the other day on ebay and its on its way I can't wait. Once its here I can start building the camera based on the image circle....

@fsibold - I've been looking at the same idea but actually at 16x20 but more 3/4 length portrait. Let me know if you find anything. I've been looking at a sliding box style.

Thank you premortho and wentbackward

Here are the first prints. they were all exposed the same in camera 1/10 @f8. take1 is clearly fogged. take2 clearly fogged but I left it in the fix while...

I posted this last week in "lenses & lens access." thread and have had some great help but now I'm onto the test shooting phase so I would like to transfer the questions over to here for some help if...

Thanks again for all your help everyone. I did get a chance this weekend to do my first test using my 2x3. Well I learned that I completely fogged all my paper in the darkroom cutting down the 4x5...

Dan,
thanks for all the info, I think we are on to something here.
Ben, again thanks for all your help, I've contacted my local camera repair and have asked him about some adaptations

Ben, thanks for the post, this helps a lot. is it crazy to think that there could be a shutter for one of these lenses? it seems that the 600/9 has a 89mm diameter which is 3.5 inches so a...

I have this project in mind to use Harman Direct Positive paper to shoot portraits hopefully using a 16x20 camera that I yet to find or make. I am starting small first, testing out the idea on my...
