Hi Dominic,

Do you still have the drum?

What kind of shape is it in? Any crazing?

Thanks. -Pat

Hi Peter,

You're right. The ScanScience adapter is made up of a very thin, supposedly high optical grade, glass, combined with a set of easy to use shims. It also includes the consumables that...

[QUOTE=Peter J. De Smidt;526710]Scan Science uses a proprietary fluid. It's main claim to fame is that it's supposed to be safer than alternatives such as Kami and Prazio mounting fluids. The...

Yes. The wood field I use is an Ebony RW810 w/two mounting holes on the camera base.

"Pat how do you mount the wooden 8x10 to the rrs ballhead? do you use a quick release plate? which one?"

I do. I don't have the exact number, but looking at RRS's Web page, it looks like a...

I shoot both a wooden 8x10 field camera, and a metal Horseman 8x10. The field camera is often used on a Gitzo 3540 w/ RRS BH-55 head. The metal 8x10 is too heavy for a ball head, and I often mount...

I went through several hundred sheets of 8x10 last year. More than one-half of that was TMX or TMY. Over the last six months, I haven't purchased any Kodak, and have no plans to do so.

"Pat,
Why did you pry up the rails? I simply put a small piece of Scotch Magic tape on each end of the step wedge and stick it to the film. Easy to do and the tape leaves no residue."

"Is there a good book on this subject. I have no idea how to use those step wedges to calibrate the machine."

Kodak has a pretty good paper on sensitometry. Here's the link:

The $4.70 ($4.69.9) was at Tioga Mobil. About the same at Furnace Creek, DV. I didn't check the in-park stations. It was the same or higher along 395. $4.99.9 in Susanville earlier last week.

I was there for a few days last week. Stayed in Curry Village and parked in their lot. Gas was $4.70+, and the busses were packed. Gin and tonics were $7.50. That was mid-week.

Hi Robert,

I use an RW810 and love it. I do almost exclusively landscape and find it a perfect compromise for that task. The lenses I use range from the SS XL 150 to the APO-Tele-Xenar 800mm. ...

Wow. Thanks for all the answers.

When I posted the question, I was searching for a reason to justify (understand why?) the smaller quantity packages.

Keith brings up a good point. If...

Just curious: Has anyone else stopped using Kodak 8x10 film since they went to 10-sheet-only boxes?

Bye-bye Kodak. Really dumb idea. Why make us pay to ship all that extra packaging?

Hello...

Sorry Joel, I missed your question.

I have purchased a replacement bellows, several bearings, and other assorted bits from them. They are great to deal with.

Please feel free to shoot me a...

I bought a Fotar 10x10 not too long ago and love it. Solid as a rock. Easy to align and it holds alignment very well. It has a Super Chromega F head with 1000W (twice the light of the Beseler...
