This is really a test. My first color Impossible 8x10 and my second Imposs 8x10 overall. 81-05 film holder. You can see I didn't mate the transparency very well on this one (note bottom of print)....

Here is my 8x10 I purchased from eddie a short time ago. Cleaned up, built a new bellows (that's a pita..!) and added a lens. A first for me in this format and I am a happy camper. Photo below...

A photo friend just received a Folmer & Schwing Autograflex that takes 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 sheet film. It is loaded with a film pack. She tells me the tabs sticking out of the film pack indicate Plus-X. ...

First... you have a wonderful website and very fine work! Very inspiring to say the least. I would love to jump on this bandwagon, but the funds won't permit more than a box of 100 sheets. If you...

I think the really good film photographers keep good track of their development times, temperatures, work over and over again with the same film/developer combinations, etc. That discipline is my...

I purchased a lens from B.S. Kumar on this site. Shipped from Japan on the 20th and arrived yesterday the 22nd! All the way to rural Ohio. Amazing. Anyway, with the lens in place and the ground...

Some pretty good information on the subject here ---> http://photo.net/film-and-processing-forum/00T2Ce

My personal results have been poor with E-6 in Rodinal.

I don't know about that. I enjoy the fondling too!

Picked up a 5x7 a couple of weeks ago and thought I would give it a cleaning. Got a little carried away and decided to rebuild. Using original hardware and bellows, but the rest is new. Soon, all...

May want to try these guys... I haven't yet, but have been thinking about it.

Also, I was working with some black formica for my darkroom table tops and it seems quite stiff. Would be...

To answer a couple of questions... That is red dyed lambskin embossed with an alligator pattern. Covering the door was the easy part... the leather was soft and had plenty of stretch/give to form...

... and my wife thought I should be doing yard work.

impressive & inspiring..

Nice! I really enjoyed looking at the copy your grandfather made quite long ago. Very nice work.

Nearing completion... I made some compromises. Partly due to my impatience, and also to allow for alternate usage of the space, in case my wife ever finds my hideout.

I'm not a camera maker or woodworker (yet) but I copied the parts from a Bender and used a number of different woods. Most of which was scrap given to me by a friend. I used jatoba, ebony, sapele,...

37069Inadvertent double exposure. Crown Graphic. Near Tucson.

Actuially, picked it up on ebay from a guy who just never assembled it..

Thanks for the comment.. T.

Finished my Bender yesterday. I made this much more difficult than it had to be by making new parts from scraps my friend gave me. I am pleased with the result though. I am not a woodworker, but...

Louie- Some great ideas there. I especially like that film dryer..

I just finished cutting/finishing a wood rail out of jatoba... hard, heavy and kind of a nice grain too. And a free scrap to boot.

Yes, that is true. Picked this up from a guy who purchased long ago and never got around to the build..

some assembly required

Just an update.. SLOWLY moving towards completion of my darkroom. My job seems to be getting in the way of construction and photography time. I am thankful for that though. Three recessed lights and...

I love the look of the 110a (and 110b) and considered a conversion to 4x5 instant film. Just no way for me to afford that, not to mention the cost of film. I very easily converted a 110a to accept...

Nice work! Hanging drywall is next for me. I have not done that before and am not too excited about it. Keep the photos coming.

Well, my initial thought was to go as easy, inexpensive and quick. I have never installed drywall and thought I would paint the block walls, panel the other two, and install a drop ceiling. ...

Darkroom under construction. The Saunders enlarger was free from a kind soul that saved it from the dumpster...! I had to drive from Ohio to Boston t pick it up, but I was happy to do that. Need...

Very inspirational stuff here! I stumbled upon a free Saunders LPL 4500II (in almost 'new' condition) and now I get to build my darkroom around it... T.

Ah.. I do have one empty film box (and changing bag). Thank you! And a visit to the Center for Photography is now on my list. :)

As a newbie, I have a question... I am traveling to Tucson next week and hope to spend some time photographing. I only have two film holders and one Grafmatic back for my Graflex. Is there an...

(duplicate... sorry)

newbie... duplicate again!! so sorry!

The Paterson Orbital looks like a great item to put on my wish list. The tubes also sound like a good method that I will try. Now to fabricate a baffle to allow daylight changing of chems?

Still a newbie in the larger formats. I want to experiment with different developers and wonder what might be the best method for developing single sheets (1 or 2) of 4x5 film... rather than...
