What a beautiful photograph. Classic ideas with a unique vision.

I shoot 150 Nikkor SW on 8x10 and 120 Nikkor SW on 5x7. The other lenses don't get used much.

I use this source for C41 Chemicals.

Some people develop adverse reactions to the chemicals. I recommend limiting your exposure to all chemicals. If if is possible use gloves.

I am in Fort Worth also. If I can do anything to help you please contact me.

Thanks Len.
I was considering adapting a Cambo compendium. I had not considered a metal solution. Good idea.

Thanks for your help.

Does anyone have a lens shade solution for an 8x10 Deardorff with a 150 Nikkor SW?

Thanks for your help.

Luther

What lens are you using on the Fotoman 624? Where did you get it? I understand they no longer have a distributor in US.

Thanks,

Luther

Allen,

Thanks so much for the info. I no longer travel with film if I can do something else. I will follow your advice. I may be in Toronto as well and have leads for a couple of places that...

I am hoping to go to Canada to photograph. Where would you suggest I get 120 and 5X7 C41 processed. Is there a supplier there for 120 Portra that you would recommend.

Thanks for your help.

I am in. It looks like the deal is going to happen. It would be nice it this continued for awhile. I gave up on 5x7 a couple of years ago when 5x7 portra stopped being available. Then one day it was...

Badgergraphics.com sell large format equipment and if you ever get interested in color 5X7 they import fujichrome. 5x7 color is hard to find. BH sells Portra in 5x7.

It is amazing what can happen in a year. Recently I bought 5x7 Portra film from BHPhotoVideo and 5x7 new film holders from calumet.

I just purchased some new Fidelity holders 5x7 holders from Calumet Photo.

Brand New!

Amazing,

badgergraphics.com has Fuji Velvia 100F 5X7-20 sheets and Fuji Provia 100F 5X7-20 sheets.

I just purchased some 5X7 NC Portra, Kodak film from www.bhphotovideo.com.
I don't know if they bought a batch or if Kodak is cutting it to 5X7 as a production item but I have a box in hand....

I like the Large format Nikon lenses. My favorite is the 150SW. I use it more than the others. You can still purchase some of the Nikon lenses from BHphotovideo in New York.

Good luck,

Luther

Fred,

I have an Art Panorama 7x17 I bought many years ago. The advantages I see of a separate camera is, as you stated the roll film and the fact that you are no longer working with a view camera....

What 150 are you using that covers the 6x24?

Thanks,

Luther

It isn't like a camera with a bag bellows but you can get it close enough to focus without the recessed lensboard.

At infinity you will not have much movement. It is a great lens on 5x7.

B&H...

Michael,

Thanks, I am still learning to use my drum scanner. I mostly use the auto aperture setting.

Ben,

The best way to know is to do both. A side by side test will tell you what you want to know. People will tell you different things on this but we are not all looking at the same issues. It...

Sadly, from the German Calumet represenative,

"Today a got the information, that the Kodak 160 NC 5x7" will not be produced anymore and we regret that we don´t have this item on stock."

In Sept 06, I ordered 50 sheets of Kodak Portra 160 from BH photo. The film came no problem. The next time I ordered it was gone. They just stopped cutting it to that size.

I found:...

I am interested in purchasing new 5x7 holders. I bought some 5x7 chrome film from badgergraphic.com. It looks good. I do miss the portra 5x7 film.


Luther

John,

I am considering ImagePrint. Have you done a side by side test using the Epson driver/Advanced BW and the ImagePrint rip.

Luther

Scott,

Welcome to the big neg. I love the way a photograph from a large format camera looks.

Luther

I found that a tray with a vertical wall at 90 degrees helped. I could hold all the film together push it against the vertical wall and pull the bottom one out. I would do a 90 degree rotation of the...

I appreciate the feedback. I ordered some 5x7 chrome film from Badger. If It doesn't work for me, I will go to 8x10. I shoot some 8x10 and 4x5 portra now. I like the shape of the 5x7.

Thanks,...

With Portra gone in 5X7 what color film are you shooting. Where do you get it?

Thanks,


Luther

I made a seperator out of matboard that functions like a negative carrier. I cut a window in the black matboard and strech the film across the opening using slide masking tape. Since the neg is now...

5X7 Portra is no longer available. What film are you shooting with 5X7?
