Read Weston's "Daybooks" (2 volumes)...they give tremendous insight into the man behind the prints.

"I figure it couldn't hurt to make the goodness of LF more widely known."
Sal...I really like that answer...promote Large Format...Yes!
Ed...that is exactly the problem I noticed, especially with the weight and size of the 5x7 when fully extended...the camera would turn on the tripod head. Folding the camera, but keeping it on the...
I appreciate all of the truly helpful suggestions...not one person has uttered anything close to a put-down on this forum in response to my somewhat dumb and basic questions! Thank you.
I'm...
As an extension to a question I asked previously regarding how you use LF camera s in the field:
I want to mount my 5x7 view on my tripod, fit the legs with foam padding, and ca rry the camera and...
In the early 1980s I used 4x5 field and studio view cameras extensively.
Since that time, I have not used this type of equipment at all...about 15 plus y ears...I have forgotten much.
I...
Where is this located? Looks good. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check out the link.
I have been working very hard to arrange a contact printing large format worksho p with Michael Smith and Paula Chamlee for the SF Bay area....we found a darkroo m and...
It is on for....Saturday...
From Todd re: The above notice is from Michael and Paula.
I may have located a possible darkroom in Santa Clara. I need to call and check if it's available for that date. This workshop should ...
I am representing Michael Smith and Paula Chamlee regarding an Azo/Amidol Printi ng Workshop to be presented in the San Francisco/Northern California area in lat e january of 2002.

I like photographer's portfolios, much like what is found in B&W magazine. I also like to read articles about how different LF photographers use their equipment in the field. I like bios on LF ...
I just purchased a 5x7 view camera from a photo.net member. It comes with a Sch neider Symmar 210mm "convertable" lens...how does the convertability work? What are the two focal lengths?
Also,...
I recently acquired a very nice 2x3 Crown Graphic with two roll film backs. I want to use this handheld for portraiture. The rangefinder is out of sync with the focus rail. That is necessary for...

There are some things, my son, which must remain a mystery.
Ho, ho, ho...well! It worked...perhaps I'm not so cyber-stupid after all! This might be fun. 2 ISO ain't so bad if you're patient!
Let's see if this will work. If not, ho well!
Any way, I found that a speed of about 6 will work but 2 seems better. I will try to post an image of an agave I used as a subject this afternoon...
I don't know why I thought that a test would cost a lot of money...the paper's cheap...but it's nice to have a starting point.
I haven't tried enlarging any since I no longer have a 4x5 enlarger....
James...Thank you. If I recall, last time I worked at about 10. So I think I will try an exposure at 5, 10, and 20, and see what I get. Most appreciated for a starting point.
That is an outstanding lens. It came as a standard lens on the Polaroid Pathfinder 110A and B cameras.
I took one of those lenses and put it on a Speed Graphic I converted to a field camera and...
Dave,
I used this method about a year ago when doing some pinhole photography, but that was just a guess on speed. I want to do some more pinhole with a 5x7 and paper negs in the future. I...
I'd like to play aound with some paper negatives in my 4x5 using Ilford Multigra de IV RC Deluxe (pearl) paper.
Anyone do this before and have some idea of an approximate speed to set on my me ter?
Where can I buy 4x5 Azo paper? I can't find it advertised, even in shutterbug.
I'm sorry...I'm tired and need some sleep!...not thinking right.
I meant to say I received a box of 500 sheets of #5 Azo paper...very old but still good. I also think this is "silver chloride"...
PS...I was given an unopened box of truly ancient Kodak Azo paper. I'm tempted to underexpose a few sheets of Tri-X just to give it a try! maybe a weak developer or Selectol Soft, might do the...

I am not going to respond to each of your fine comments and suggestions since I will make a hard copy and use the information. Thank you so much.
I apprciate your suggestions, and let me give...
I finished converting an old broken Speed Graphic to a field camera...I remove a lmost everything except the box, back rails, and lens board, and paint it with t extured black.
My objective is...
One item I did not mention. The lens on that camera is a 127mm Rodenstock-Ysarex f/4.7 in a Prontor SVS shutter...This is a particularly fine lens: very sharp and contrasty IMO. It can be ...
I have a Polaroid 110A. It is not 4x5. The lens is very high quality. In its original state it can not be used since the film is no longer available. Both the 110A and 110B (nearly identical ...
