Look for George or Tracy.

Scott,

Thank you for catching my embarassing error. My only excuse is that I was thinking aperture instead of exposure time. For example, multiplying the aperture by 2^(1/4) decreases exposure...

-1 stop = old_time * 2 ^ (1/1) -1/2 stop = old_time * 2 ^ (1/2) -1/3 stop = old_time * 2 ^ (1/3) -1/4 stop = old_time * 2 ^ (1/4) ... -1/N stop = old_time * 2 ^ (1/N) For example, if your base...

Steve Grimes has a page on lensboard hole sizes.

I've used www.addall.com to find reasonably priced copies of several out-of-print books.

David, this topic was the subject of a recent discussion on rec.photo.equipment.largeformat. On one side was Steve Simmons who, in the latest issue of View Camera, claimed that it was fine to use...

I received a message from Jeff Taugner explaining why they pulled the Shen Hao from their site. He has graciously allowed me to post it here.

When I checked the Badger Graphic sit e a few days ago they had the Shen Hao ava ilable. Today, there's no mention of the Shen Hao on their website. What happe ned?

I just received my "new" Crown Graphic, woohoo! However, the shutter on the Gra phex lens does not close at the T and B settings. The other settings from 1 - 1 /400 secs work (but I don't know if...

Oops, I forgot the formula that's supposed to go in column A starting at row 2: =SQRT(C2*$A$1^2) where $A$1 is the focal length of your lens.

I built a small Excel (TM) spreadsheet to calculate bellows compensation. It displays the compensation factor, compensation in stops, and the extension at which the compensation should be ...

Here's an article by Jon Fishback that may help: The Ultimate Monochrome Print. You'll be spending some time in your darkroom, though.

The InVision CTX-5000 SP scanners are only used for checked baggage and not for carry-ons. Film in carry-ons should be fine with the lower powered x-ray machines. See http://www.martweis...

Scott, I'm just about to get my feet wet in LF but let me throw in my two cents (and worth much less) on questions (1) and (2):

<ol> <li>I would use the same exposure (Zone III for important dark...

I bought a used Pentax Digital Spotmeter and it's wonderfully simple and efficient for Zone System work. I also bought a used Sekonic 308BII and that, too, is wonderful for candids and when I'm...

I've always heard of Stroebel's View Camera Technique but I haven't had a chance to read it myself -- yet. It's not cheap so you might want to check your local library if they have a copy you can ...

My messages to Perry bounced, too. TVCnet.com hosts their name service. If you can't get in touch with Geoffrey Chen, you might want to use snail mail instead:

I just took Howard's Zone System Workshop this weekend so I can't speak of his printing workshop -- yet. If this workshop is any indication of his skill as a teacher then I am very impressed. He...
