Exactly my point. The developer used often dictaes the volume of liquid required. I moved from D-76 1:1 to Xtol 1:3 to reduce the volume of developer needed in Jobo drums.

This fact often overrides Jobo's liquid suggestions. I am most familiar with Kodak Xtol diluted 1:3. Kodak says, "125ml of Xtol per 8x10 equivalent." I follow their advice and have not had any...
Alas, I also fell for the Ancient Thread Trap. Oh well, perhaps someone new can make use of this good information.

If your 4x5 camera will accept it, what about one of the really neat convertible 6x6, 6x7, 6x9 & 6x12 roll film holders? You eliminate 4x5 holders and their...
Crap. I'm in Houston that weekend. Y'all have fun!

A little known gem of a lens. I got mine by accident. I thought I was buying the 52mm-55mm filter ring lens. When it arrived, I tried 52mm & 55mm filters. No luck. Lens too small. Lightbulb! I tried...
4990s go fast no matter where you find them.
I did have a 16x20 printed from a 6x7 negative scanned on the 4990. I sold it. My client liked it. The hardware behind the scenes didn't matter. A 16x20...
Welcome to the club. My multi-coated Fujinon-W 125mm/5.6 lens with 46mm filter ring and outside markings was never made. I like having a secret lens that doesn't show up in the online literature....
I used a friend's 4990 when I first got started in 4x5. Then another friend bought a V750. We have compared many many scanned medium format and 4x5 prints. I can't see the difference. Unless you are...

Thank you Roger! I will make a point to find The Blue Hole the next time we go to Boone, NC.
Cheers!

Frank is right. Bandelier National Monument is usually uncrowded and a personal sized cliff dwelling site. You climb ladders and explore as much as you like.
Like steam trains? The Cumbres & Toltec...
Very good! I thought that might be the case. Did I pass the test? Grinning.
Thank you!
Wayne
Am I doing something wrong? I just uploaded photos from Group 3 & Group 5. They don't show up. Help!
Wayne
Chris,
It's a done deal. If you will send me an email address in a Private Message I will send you the file in the morning. I hope you like it.
Wayne
Chris,
I'll do my best. I'll give it a try tonight.
Wayne
Thanks Roger. I was kidding about GPS numbers. Written directions work best for me. I'll be in touch before our next trip.
Wayne
Sorry for being tardy. I have been running around.
Group 3 & Group 5: 3 cheers! Thanks to everyone!
The abundance of wet, silver prints is overwhelming. I feel like I am cheating printing on an...
The prints arrived. I broke my standing rule: "Do not open the envelope at work." I was promptly busted. Prints returned to envelope. Lesson learned. Tonight will be a treat.
Wayne
Yikes!
Wayne
Holy cow! I take all of my kidding of the USPS back! My Group 5 prints and the BONUS prints arrive today! This is like Christmas!
I can't wait. I will be checking the mail hourly.
Wayne
Right now I don't know when we will drive back to Boone. I will holler before we leave.
Wayne
Chris,
I was just funnin'. You had no control over the "procedure." I think tracking information is frustrating a lot of the time. Whenever I order something that is coming via UPS, the package...
Roger,
That is how I feel as well. I will start in the morning for the next print exchange or portfolio project.
Cheers everyone.
Wayne
Darr,
Thank you for making the exchange a huge success!
Wayne
Holy cow! Scott's prints from the Great Frozen Upper Outer British Columbia beat prints from Knoxville, TN?
Ya gotta love the Gummermint!

Like Barrie said, Rodinal isn't a fine grain develop as such. The grain becomes more pronounced with too much agitation. Slow down and agitate gently about every 3 minutes. 1:100 will extend the...
Awesome! It won't be long now.
Wayne
Darr,
USPS delivery confirmation. My prints are in your mailbox.
Wayne
OK. Sure. Rub it in! Snow & snowshoes & cameras. That's cruel. :cool: ;) :D
Wayne
Looking forward to another print from you Scott.
Wayne
My photos for Group #5 are waiting for the mailman to pick them up later today. USPS Priority mail. Estimate delivery Thursday or Friday.

I was going to suggest my $10 solution until you mentioned that you use a MacBook. My software is Windows based.

I can't wait to see the new print Scott.
My photos are drying. Hand off to USPS on Monday.
Wayne
Sure. I'm in. Printing this weekend. Mailing on Monday.
Wayne
Thanks! I knew about silver in fixer and will treat it accordingly. It's good to know that minute quantities of developer are not a problem.

Welcome to the club. New isn't always better. Given the fact that wet plate cameras and wet plates are still being manufactured today and used with lenses contemporary to the origins of wet plates,...
Followup question:
What would happen in a household septic system? We live in the woods and have a septic system. Would it be best for me to save developing chemicals and take them to a proper waste...
Standing by.

Would that I could trade. On the other hand, I'm dreaming of Wimberly, Fredericksburg & Big Bend. They seem as distant as Alberta. I'll get back north one of these years.
