Hi all,
while I am not new to the forum, I never formally introduced myself. It is not until now that I have a website, I feel that I really exist in this world.
...
I agree with Brian for the reasons he states.
I like Linhof's 3-way levelling head. (http://www.linhof.de/levelling_heads.html) Expensive, but very compact and rock solid, you adjust one plane at a...
This was the lens: 90mm F8 GERONAR-WA
I suppose, when a problem occurs with your very first order, you are especially sensitive.
KEH now returned the money incl. shipping. So I am only out what...
I purchased a LF lens from them in Ex or EX+ condition, I can't tell right now (I am travellling). The shutter was slow at 1 sec. and 1/2 sec., almost twice the indicated time, but sometimes getting...
Additionally this might help for whoever is looking for advice in this thread:
For your PEI (personal exposure index) concentrate on Zone III exclusively.
This involves your meter, film,...
I have been using the zone system for over 20 yrs on LF, and this is what I advise:
1. Set meter to film manufacturer's rating.
2. Forget Zone I.
3. Forget Zone II.
4. Zone III is important. This...
If reciprocity is a consideration (1/2 sec and longer) TMY is much better, you don't have to think about it until exposure times of ca. 10 sec. And it takes a lot of exposure, even a zone 12 will...

Very good products!

And make sure the film is boxed properly on its way from your darkroom to the lab.
Additional scans of your films might help us to figure this out.
I somewhat doubt, that the film received the unwanted exposure while in the holders, because some of the film edges are blown out as well. So I suspect it happened before or after the film was loaded...
I have had numerous problems with films (and papers) from smaller manufacturers, who cannot afford the quality control of, say, Kodak. This is why I shoot only TMax films. Like you I shoot at long...
Claudio, moving up from 4x5 or 5x7 to 8x10, you should not experience any difference regarding exposure. There is nothing different or mysterious about 8x10, except that the larger neg will show any...
One should ALWAYS start with a level camera! Only relying on the grid lines of your GG can get you in trouble, especially when you have horizontal AND vertical lines to deal with. And if your camera...
I have a Gitzo carbon fiber tripod with 3 section legs, I don't know, which model. I use it with 8x10 and WP cameras. Versus a two section Ries, three sections often come in handy for resting one or...
I only have a 240 and a 300 Apo Ronar (in shutters). I love them! If yours are in good condition, I would not sell them for now, especially since they 'were thrown in' !!! One day you may really...
My last darkroom had a window leaking so much light, that I decided not to run film while the sun was directly shining on the window. I did not go so far as to process film only on an overcast...
Either way, with LF equipment calculate extra time for security at check-in. They can be VERY suspicious of your strange apparatus.
57. LF since 1975. Before that all 'Nikon and Kodachrome'. Now all BW.
I like the idea of the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, simplicity.
