Hi All,

I managed to break the ground glass on my 14x14 camera. Can anyone recommend a supplier for a custom-made replacement?

Thanks

Just a quick update. I ended up buying the Heiland LED cold head and I have to say I'm really impressed. Yeah, it's pricey but I couldn't find any other options stateside. It's very easy to use, a...

Thanks for the replies. I think building an LED head is a little beyond my skills, so I'm contemplating getting Heiland's LED head. Has anyone had a chance to use one of these? The price-tag is a bit...

Awesome, thanks!

Hi All,

My Zone VI VC head looks to have given up the ghost. Any suggestions on a replacement? I'm aware of Heiland's LED head. Any other options out there? I tried Modern Enlarger Lamps and they...

I tried a couple of boxes of New55 with varied results.

The positive isn't that good (not even remotely close to Polaroid 55) but can be interesting with the right subject. The negative is quite...

The 4B is my lens. I decided to hang on to it a little longer. There were a few offers, but mostly silly ones. I may put it up again after wet plate season is over.

Yes this is what I had in mind, production rather than current availability. I could've sworn that someone posted something along these lines a while ago, specifically mentioned the relative...

Hi All,

I've been search for a thread here about the relative rarity of the various Dallmeyer petzvals. I can't find it and I beginning to wonder if I imagined it...

I'm not sure if this is going to work, but here's a shot taken in Denver's Cheeseman Park. Polaroid 55, scanned negative with some digital fiddling.

I did and didn't get anywhere, so hence my direct appeal for someone...

Hi,

I'm looking for someone who can make a 2 or 3 of custom flanges for me. Brass or aluminum is fine. The flange diameters range from about 3 inches to 8 inches.

Thanks

Great, thank you very much!

Hi All,

I recently purchased 2 lenses from Europe and for the first time ever I've been levied with duty and tax. I've never had the issue before so it's a bit strange that in the space of a week...

Here's mine:

SN 15,744 1873

The inkjet printer is use to make a negative that is then contact printed in the darkroom. The piezography digital negatives differ from the other negative-creating methods in that it uses ink...

Piezography has a dedicated ink set for making digital negatives that works really well. I've tried quite a few of the different systems for making digital negs and piezography has been the easiest...

If you already have the 4x5 camera, you could get a Graflex film pack adapter pretty inexpensively ($10-$15 on eBay) and modify it easily for wet plate. I started that way using a regular 4x5 lens....

I have one thanks. And a 20x24 :)

Great, thanks for the suggestions!

Hi,

I have a Rolleiflex SL66 in need of repair, the focusing knob has decided to stop working.

Does anyone know of someone that can fix it? I've tried a bunch of local repair shops (I'm in...
