Short on time I hacked a PC cable from an old 22v bulb flash and hooked it to a 3.5mm to plug into a JRx unit so my rodenstock can fire units. Doesnt work at all. Am I missing something here? Tried...

haha, well considering how much I've learnt 2 sheets in, after 1000 I should be pro! :p

My caps easily hold the developer without it reaching the film. One thing I didnt take note of however is...

Brian you must be correct. Its not possible that light was induced either mounting the sheet or placing it in the tube. There is a leak in my tube, I will be examining it very carefully.

Yes the...

I don't want to use sloppy procedures. I've read the majority of the information on this site, and my process is a strickly controlled as I can get it, I'm just learning to work within it. 20 degree...

From what I've read there is generally an uproar among his students when he first shows them, but they learn its not an issue. The same seems to be the experience of anyone else that tries it. I will...

Fred Newman, the guy in the BTZS demo video, removes the negatives from the tubes and places them in a stopbath in light, and says that he has never had an issue, even on the tests he used for the...

I ignore the meter and eyeball the actual photo, as I shoot manual flash a lot.

sorry for the thread hijack but I also have odd artefacts in my image. This photo, my 2nd ever in LF, was taken at night and developed in the day using a homemade tube. I cant for the life of me...

Good info, thank you.

an excellent idea, will do that instead. Thats what Im going for, consistency in my developing process as I'm just starting out using tubes.

also, with metering with a digital camera how vital...

Would there be any sort of issue taping a square of 135 film to a darkslide to do developing tests so I dont have to waste 4x5 film, apart from taping each one in the same place? Also have to find a...

Theres a guy here in aus whos got a complete Horseman L45 setup.
75, 90, 150 and 180, compendium and bag bellows, sliders, a polaroid back as well as a sinar filter set. What would be a fair asking...

I've been looking around for monorails. The Omega 45d seems like it would suit me, but there a few types out there. Linhof Super Color ST? Cambo? How about this one posted here not long ago? Quite a...

I guess weight isn't really an issue. I'm not going to be going for treks, and if a few kilograms is the cost of a lower priced camera with more (and more obvious) movements, a newb like me can't...

to each their own indeed.
From start to finish, the only issue apart from my skill that would adversely affect the printed image would be my tripod. I couldn't imagine an S making a difference for a...

I'm in Australia but I'm aware of meetups and I plan to contact some LF users in my area to really understand just what it takes.
Thats the thing with 2nd hand, it generally doesn't loose too much...

You sound like you know what you're talking about, Frank, so will trust your advice and start with 4x5. A folding metal design would be my first choice, but I'm not sure I've answered the field vs...

I believe I will be going with a 5x7 metal field. I'm tending away from a monorail given weight considerations, but I'm not so sure this is a good decision. I'm prepared to take a hit on the body for...

Very true. I must keep this in mind.

As I plan to do large-scale light painting (think car-mounted spotlights driving around) a single exposure is a necessity.

Thank you Daniel! You’ll notice that I signed up at the start of this year, but didn't get around to asking anything. I never got a panoramic camera because I could always get stitching to work, plus...

I was gonna say go calibrate your monitor, but since it was working not long ago most likely you adjusted the colour profiles of your image. If you dont have custom profiles go with adobe RGB for...

Gday all

I'm a commercial 35mm shooter and when i shoot landscapes I stitch to get resolution for prints which are usually about 60" wide. Stitching is obviously very limited, and about a year ago...
