Your article on JB building your vertical 4x10 was an inspiration for me to shoot 4x10! JB built a beautiful camera! I wanted to shoot 4x10 horizontal and vertical so the Canham 8x10 with...

4x10 requires 270mm of coverage. The Fuji 250 CMW covers 320mm. You have room for modest movements before light falloff comes into play. I also use the Fuji 300C and Fuji 450C which have all...

Great thread! I have been shooting 4x10 for a few years. I am shooting a Canham 8x10 with a 4x10 Back. This Image was shot with a Fuji 250 CMW lens and Velvia 50 film.

Toyo-View 45AII. Purchased it in 1997 and it is still my 4x5 camera of choice! Build like a tank and easy to use!

Nice to hear that a new CPP-2/3 is in the works! I use a late model CPP-2 with 3005 and 3010 drums. The lift arm is really a weak point with the 3000 drums. I always lift the drum with right hand as...

I have used a 45AII for 12 years. It is a wonderful camera! Built like a tank, easy to setup and a joy to use! The front standard has two levers that lock it down. Even one lever will lock...

I am still shooting my freezer load of Velvia 8x10 that was packaged in 10 sheet boxes but getting low on 8x10 film. The new 4x5 20 sheet boxes of Velvia come in two foil packages of 10 each. Is the...

Actually I just use the Epson software. My scanning is fairly simple and the supplied Epson software works perfectly for me. The scans come out as I expect them too. With the G-4 I was very...

I have had a 10,000XL for four years. Started with a Mac G-4 and last year upgraded my computer to a quad core I-Mac. The scanner was slow with the G-4. The speed of the scanner really...

I have developed 100's of 4x5 sheets of Velvia in a 3010 drum on a CPP-2 set at a speed of 4. Never had a sheet slip out of a ridge. As others have said make sure each sheet is fully locked in the...

Great job everyone! I too love the Dunes. This Image was taken in 2006, in Death Valley. It was a great stormy few days which is rare for D.V.
Toyo AII 4x5, Schneider 110 XL and Velvia 50 converted...

I have developed hundreds of 4x10 sheets in Jobo 3005 drums. Not any different than 8x10 sheets except 4x10 only uses half the space.

I just returned from two weeks in the Eastern Sierra and a week in Lee Vining shooting my 7x17. The fires in Northern California had sent smoke and haze into the Mono Lake area so it was tough to get...

Thanks for the kind comments. I use an Epson 10000XL now so I can scan 7x17 (actually 7x16.5) and the Website Images are at 96dpi. I have three computers that I have access to and the monitors all...

Thanks for another month of interesting reading. As a LF Photographer I can never understand how someone can complain about the only real LF magazine available. The subsciption rate is...

I shoot 4x10 and 8x10 with a Canham 8x10 wood field camera using 4x10 and 8x10 backs. I also have a Canham 4x10 camera. I have found that using the 4x10 camera is much lighter and easier to backpack....

Monument Valley two weeks ago. Canham 4x10 Camera, Fuji 210 CM-W, new Velvia 50.

I am getting ready to head to Arizona for a couple Spring Training Baseball games (Angels) and also Wild Flowers and Saguaro NP. I am taking my Canham 8x10 with 8x10 and 4x10 backs and 12 - 8x10 and...

Diane

Thanks for the input! I did cut some scrap 7x17 film into 5x12 and it seemed that if I put the film in as you just stated above, it would fit. I was just not sure if it would process...

That is what I was afraid of. I am already developing 7x17 in 2850 drums and 4x10 in 3005 drums. I was interested in moving from 4x10 to 5x12 but I was hoping the 3005 would work for 5x12....

Interesting thread and it may be intereting to see if any of the original guys have changed there view on different lenses?

I use a Dagor type 305 G-Claron, 450 Nikkor M and Fuji 600 "C". All...

I am interested in a 5x12 setup but want to be sure I can Process 5x12 negs in a Jobo 3005 drum. The drum is about 11.5" deep so the neg will sit up about 1/2" into the lid. I remember some talk...

I am sitting in DV right now and will be here for another 10 days. We had some rain Friday nite and it appears wild flowers could be good but I do not think it will get to 2005 color, but should be...

I agree with Peter. Not the cheapest way but I find for B&W and E-6 it works as a great setup and really makes it fun!

I just became a full time Photographer. I became full time after spending 38 years in Highway Construction. I took an early retirement (57) so I could finally work at something I always loved and did...

B&H photo still has the Microtek 9800 XL and XLT in stock. Price is reasonable compared to most other options.

When I started using my Epson 10000XL the scan would also not come up during preview. What happened was the preview scan default setting was set at "Thumbnail" and would not preview. I can't...

I signed up for the Victor Workshop but would really be interested in an ULF workshop.

The 2850 drums have ridges that stick out maybe a 1/16". One on one side and the other side (180 degrees) has three more about an inch apart. When I load the film I put one edge of the film...

(1) My Canham 717 weighs 13 lbs. Keiths website says it should weigh 10 lbs?
(2) No enlarger
(3) Contact prints only
(4) No Platinum/Gold yet
(5) I use a CPP-2 and 2850 drums (two 717 at a time)...

What scanner do you use? It would be great if I did not have to stitch with the 4990.

I use an old Lowepro Super Trekker for my Canham 7x17. There is enough room for two lenses, a Nikkor 450M and a 305 G-Claron. I carry an AWB film holder case that holds three holders. It works about...

I bought FP4 and HP5 (10 boxes) from the VCS about 3 months ago. I placed an order about May 07 when Ilford was going to make a special run for the oddball LF and ULF sizes. There may be some...

I live in Orange County and have been following this thread. I was unable to attend Sunday but hopefull you guys will do it again. As Hugo stated above LF Photography is usually pretty solitary and...

As a Landscape guy my whole LF career I never really paid attention to anything except getting tack sharp Images. The only lenses I used were the newer Multicoated ones. Then I saw Jim Galli's...

I shot 4x5 for 10 years and it was my favorite for many years. About three years ago I found my vision was not what it used to be and it was harder to see the 4x5 GG for me. I was in Yosemite two...

Can't wait for the 7x17 ULF Project to start!

As a Panorama nut (6x17 - 4x10 - 7x17) I am impressed! A 5x14 is a great size and a perfect aspect ratio. It always seemed to me that 3 to 1 is a little long and 2.5 to 1 is a touch short. I...
