Thanks to all the replies.
I am going to look into the FotoPanels which I think is fine for my needs.
Being in Canada, the did not show up on an ebay.ca search.
I bought one a month ago on ebay...

Thanks Brian.
That is similar to what I am using now.
I want to go 'upscale' though and have an active temp control system.
The better shower controls with scald guard should do it. I was hoping...

Hi all.
Any recommendations on a budget temp valve for B&W?
I will set it at 68F/20C and likely never move it.
I would like a valve that I can control temp and volume separately.
At Home Depot...

Hi and thanks for the replies.
The 500H has a separate mixing box for 35, 120 and 4X5.
All of them are lined with the same type of paper and it looks stock.
Can another 500H owner confirm that the...

Hi all.
I just got a used Ilford MG 500H system and the 4X5 mixing box liner is very dirty.
My guess is it wasn't stored properly. I cannot find anyone offering a kit to replace the paper. Is there...

Hi all.
Soon I will want to get some of my B&W prints into digital form to put them up on my Flickr page. A flat bed scanner is the obvious method but I am limited to prints no larger them the size...

Hi all.
Can it be true?
My local pro photo shop tells me they cannot get Tri-X or Plus-X in 35mm, 120/220 or any sheet sizes anymore. Is it just THEY that cannot get it or Kodak Canada is not...

Hello all.
Thanks for the comments and I have a good bit to chew over.
One poster mentioned that the 75 is 'harder' to use then the 90.
Did you mean technically or aesthetically harder?
What is...

Hi again.
Sorry I forgot to mention that the camera is a Wista DX. I understand that I will have to use a recessed lens board and probably will not be able to utilize the full movement the lens is...

Hi all.
I know I am asking a rather vague question but I would appreciate any opinions.
My use of 4X5 is landscape, portrait and still-life: All as an enthusiast not a professional.
95% is shot on...

Thanks for the pointer. I have sent him an email to include me in any future gatherings.

Thanks for the suggestions I will try photographing a newspaper.
Can this be fixed or is it not worth the trouble?
I only paid $100US for it. Maybe I should just move on.
Regards, dissappointed...

Is there a LF friendly club in TO?
Thanks.

Ok so the lens has Newton rings.
I'll expose some film and see how it looks.

Hi all.
I got a SK 90/6.8 Angulon in a grab bag of various camera parts I bought.
From the front I can see light bangs of a foggy nature, covering one half of the element.
They seem to be just...

Hi all.
I am quite smitten with this book which I picked up last week.
All the photographs were taken on Type 55 Polaroid.
Any lover of Polaroid will appreciate the difficulties of creating this...

Thanks for all the comments.
I will keep my eyes open for a transmission only densitometer.
In the meantime I will use my light meter and look for a 1/3 stop drop with the correct negative....

Hi all.
I know this subject has been discussed before, but I am hoping to get some more specific comments.

I bid on a X-rite 810 densitometer this week on ebay and it ended up going for $500US....

Please disregard my Polaroid question. I have learned that this site has answered most questions before and I just have to go looking for the answer.

Hello all.
Thank you all for your comments and the warm welcome.
I will think about the Grafmatic and get it (if the price stays reasonable) to try it out.
As I get the Wista up and running I am...

Hi all.
I will shortly receive a used Wista DX which will include some regular film holders.
This item has come up on ebay and with the idea of lighting my field kit as much as possible, should I...
