Well... I did a couple more processing since my last message.
Very hot water (over 100F) seemed to help a lot indeed. Vigorous and constant agitation too.
But still unable to totally dissolve the...
Thank you everyone for you advices and insights !
It made me feel less dumb haha.
I'll try to dilute my next batch in very hot water. I don't think I tried 45°C water yet.
But from what I...
Hi everyone,
I have a very dumb question I think. I browsed the forums a bit for the answer but it seems nobody is as dumb as I am !
I've recently started to do pyro processing with Tanol with...
My first 8x10 shot !

Last landscapes from before the confinement.
Shot last Saturday in the forest near Cluny, France.

My first attempt to still life in large format.
It was so much fun ! I probably wouldn't have tried without these confinement measures.

Peter ! Wow !
Powerful photo. Bravo !
And thank you.
I really like that one ! Bravo !
And thank you for sharing.
And actually, the first one reminded me of something somewhat similar I did back in 2013 when I was living in Lyon.

Thank you Barry !
I understand. And I think you are right, the wave will come to you eventually. As I was writing my answer I was wondering what was the situation in the US.
And I saw the...
Thank you !
As it is not directly related to LF Landscapes, I'm not sure if I should answer your question here.
But here it is : Theoretically I'm not allowed to.
Only 4 reasons are valid...
Thank you !
Some others, last batch I was able to make before the confinement.
I have 6 other sheets not yet processed that I made in the forest last Sunday.
If they are any good, I'll let you...
Steven and Corran, fantastic work.
Thank you for sharing.

Just proceeded with the paper test. Loaded the holder and I forgot it 3 hours in my conservatory. On a table in plain sunlight, white walls, very bright environment. Changed its position a couple of...
Thank all very much for your view on this issue !
I wasn't expecting so many answers.
Given Mr. Santamaura's opinion and experience with this, I tend to think I'll keep it as is.
Also because...
Hello everyone,
This year, I'm making the step to 8x10 equipment and I'm very excited.
Yesterday I received my first used 8x10 film holder and I was pretty shocked of how loose it looks.
Are...
Haha, I did take some heavy rain for that one !
But rain wasn't the biggest issue : wind was !
I had to keep a hand holding the tripod all the time.
Glad you like it.
I'll add my voice to those saying that last one especially is stunning.
Bravo !
Even though I'm more of a landscape/architecture photographer, I really like doing portraits.
But I have the...
Those pyrocat rendering are really stunning.
Thank you for sharing everyone.
Here is one of my latest :

Alot of very inspiring work here. Thank you all.
Coming back to LF shooting lately.
Doing some landscapes and here is one of the most recent.

My 4x5 spent four years in a closet but this fall, the urge of large format photography came back.

Thanks to everyone for the various answers.
I'm still hesitating, but all your comments really helps whatever my final decision will be.
:-)
Recently I've been thinking about buying a calumet C2 6x7 roll film back for my 4x5".
And to make my decision, I'd like those of you who shoot 120 film with large format equipement to share their...
Just a side note :
remember that with a 47mm lens focused at infinity, the distance between front and rear standard isn't necessarily 47mm.
The distance is usualy a little more than that....
I understand that of course. I never claimed it was the perfect camera for everyone.
But I'm just feeling weary of all those threads filled with exaggerated and untrue facts about this camera.
This...
What is inordinate lately is this kind of threads about it: created by doubtful, misinformed, and full of prejudice people. I don’t know what they expect about those threads?
Users massively...
What I mean with "absolute 0 for GG alignment" is nanometric alignment, theoretically perfect alignment.
Absolute alignment in a word.
Do you really think viewcamera makers aim that precision?
Do...
Just saying that the absolute 0 alignment is not very important for general use.
And that viewcamera factories do not aim this absolute 0 for GG alignment. it is not rocketery science.
Of course if...
I just pulled out my dusty optics lessons. Cause the OP seems to be out for a walk, weirdly enough.
So for those like me who don't remember/know what is the difference between DOFocus and DOField,...
Can you explain that to me more accurately with optics formula and field examples instead of that infertile and snobbish comment? :)
I'm sure you can achieve that.
And please do not ignore the...
You make a good point on some precise measurement being kind of a thread breaker.
The distances are within tolerance? End of the story.
But…..
I just pulled out the backs of my 2 4x5” cameras....
Washing the ground glass as a start is a good piece of advice.
When I got my Cambo (used), I was more or less with the same problem that you have with your camera. The cleaning did improve the...
I'll second the dust issue with the changing bag. Not a very viable solution to me.
Someone mentioned the fact that you cannot come back from a tent to a bag, that's exactly how I feel. I am...
I don't know :)
I actually found out that one alone quite some time ago.
Just because I didn't felt confortable moving the camera around while composing. it felt a bit too disorganised and...
Just my 2 cents :
I agree with you, mortensen on image to be sharper and easier to focus without the fresnel (any fresnel, not just chamonix's).
That is why I insta-removed it when I figured out...
I did not mean that. I was only anticipating nitpicking on the statistics by some random nitpicker.
Anyway, I too look forward for your results, I too find that it is a excellent thing that you...
I just did some basic optical calculations and here are the numbers :
with a 150mm lens. when focused on a 5m away subject, a 1mm focus shift towards the user means a 86cm focus shift in the...
you make a point.
as it was on "real" shots, the focus shift distance was only appreciated on the ground before the subjects.
so I guess there is no way to actually measure the distance.
But the...
Yes, some kind of long ruler in the shot. so we can appreciate where exactly the focus is.
easier to say it than to do it though.
I do not mean to nitpick.
But if you want to be rigorous you have to introduce statistics in this.
Simple: everytime just make 4 sheets instead of one. And make sure you completely and randomly...
