Thanks for all the responses. You've answered my question.
O.K., my normal development procedure is to develop 10 sheets (4x5) at a time in a Jobo 3010 drum on a CPP2, using 500ml of developer. Of course, I always have different numbers of sheets to develop...
I'll give it a try.

"The Final Salute" is as fine an example of photojournalism done well as I have ever seen; story-telling with pictures at a very high level. For those who have not seen this work, "The Final Salute"...
The Lee hoods work fine. If you are going to get one for 4x5, avoid the square hood and instead get the wide-angle hood. It's outside dimensions are in exact proportion to that of 4x5 film. I have...
You would have to make a concerted effort to spill ink when making an ink cartridge change on any of the Epson large-format printers. And as far as the head cleaning goes, it is not a manual...
Oh my god, paulr, I am so sorry for expressing an opinion here . . . in a photography forum too, of all places. Can you ever forgive me?
A couple of years ago I attended an exhibit of Robert Adams' prints. I have thumbed through books of his photographs in the library and in bookstores. I just viewed the 96 images on the Fraenkel...
For those who wish to view the photographs, they are part of a larger presentation titled "Final Salute." The presentation includes a slide show, a video, and 24 pages of newspaper stories in PDF...
I guess you didn't like the answer I gave you to this question on the photo.net site. Alas, it looks like you got the same answer here.
I don't shoot ULF myself, just 4x5. But nevertheless, a tip-of-the-hat to you guys for pulling this off. Good work.
Everyone has their own opinion on a first lens choice, so here's mine. For your mentioned subject matter, I think a 135 would be a good first lens. It's slightly wide on 4x5, which would work well...
Forgot to add, among the Jobo drums, you are already using the best available option for 5x7, which is the 3006.
I use a 3010 to process my 4x5 negatives. There are five tubes, each of which will accomodate one sheet of 5x7 film. So you can only process 5 sheets of 5x7 at a time, not 10.
Is there a test for Pyro expiration, other than just exposing and developing a piece of film?
Trust me Walter, the grooves on the Maxwell screen are absolutely not an issue. At one time or another I have tried every (to the best of my knowledge) ground glass/screen made, and for me, the...
There's no telling how long it will take you to get a BossScreen.
Take a look at the Maxwell. I got one for my 4x5 a few months ago and think it's terrific, the best screen I've tried by a wide...
You sure do a lot of arguing for a guy who claims of not wanting to argue. Also, referring to others who disagree with you as yahoos isn't very appealing either.
"I think I'll refrain from doing...
I think the whole concept of limited editions is complete horse@#$%.
Brooks Jensen of Lenswork wrote a fairly lengthy essay on the subject, which can be found here:...
Jim, I wash my 4x5 negs in a 3010 Expert drum the same way. And you're right; it is boring. I've always wondered if enough water is getting to the back side of the film for an effective wash, with...

Forgot to mention, my lenses range from a Super Angulon XL 58/5.6 out to the Nikon 450/9. I was really surprised at the performance with the 58. When I spoke to Mr. Maxwell, he informed me that he...
In the approximately 10 years I have been shooting LF, other than the Boss screen, I think I have tried most of the available ground glass options, including the original that came in my Wisner...
The whole purpose of proper exposure and development, including N+ and N-, is to expand the range of information you can capture and reveal in the negative. If the info is not in the negative to...
Would a 5' x 10' print of a gazillion cigarette butts be considered post-modern? Or just PC? Maybe even Post-modern PC?
Went to the mailbox today, shuffled through the contents, and noticed a familiar looking photograph on the cover of "Going Places," the magazine of the American Automobile Association (AAA). Sure...
Austin, the Symmar-S is a multi-coated lens; its engraved right on the front element.
I have one that is in absolute mint condition that I am about to put on ebay in the next few days. If you are...
Casey, RRS has changed the look of some of their clamps over the years, so it is possible the one you have is an earlier version which may not look exactly like the current models. However, if it is...
"Personally, I don't want unlimited numbers of my images out there either . . . "
No offense intended Paul, but frankly, I don't believe a word of that. If suddenly your artwork became so in...
"Do you have any idea just how stupid, and how culturally, artistically, and creatively empty the general public is?" . . . . . .
"I'm not an elitist snob . . . "
Glad you cleared that up.
On your CPA2's rotation speed dial, "F" for film. Some recommend even slower with certain developers which are prone to rapid oxidation. However, depending on the amount of chemistry used, speeds...
Donald, would you mind specifying the brand name and model number of the scales you are describing. Sounds like this is exactly what I need. Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is to be expected in today's China. The country is the world's biggest thief when it comes to pirating of software, CDs, DVDs, etc. Words such as patent, copyright, and...
I bought the original Blackjacket myself. And like many others, I like everything about it except it doesn't breathe. During the summer, after only a few seconds, it's like a darn sauna under...
Very well put, Chris. I don't think I have ever agreed more with any words that have been written on this forum.
Great big ol' fat Yaaawwwwnnn!
Don't take everything so serious, Jay. Maybe you're the one who should be looking into that conflict resolution course.
Over react, Jay? If you re-read the post, they followed her to a SECOND location and grabbed the camera. That is reasonably considered a threat, and I know plenty of lawyers that would take that...
Picked up a copy at the local Borders yesterday, here in Nashville.
