Two thumbs up for Way Beyond Monochrome. I got the hard copy version several weeks ago. Definitely a solid book with loads of information.

Awesome results. You have me tempted to get an 8x10! Or make one.

I did. It became too much of a PITA! A point and shoot, however, that I can tolerate.

I recently purchased a Soligor Spot Sensor II. Everything was going well until yesterday I dropped it as I was getting in my car. It suffered about a two foot drop. The case I've been able to...

I'm just starting to look at the zone system as well. What is a good rule of thumb for development adjustment? For instance, if N development is 8 min, what would N-1 be? N+1?

Thanks all for suggestions. It turns out my problem was two-fold. I wasn't developing the print long enough and my light source was not diffuse enough. The latter problem was solved by using a...

Thanks Stuan and Andrew.

I've seen some great landscapes. Here's several of my first LF shots.

Thanks! It's a pretty big place that'll take some exploring. So far lurking has been very helpful.

I recently joined the LF world with a B&J Press camera I bought from SandersM. Had my first test run on Saturday with using enlarging paper. Here's an eight minute exposure.
