Thought somebody here said it might be, guess I'll take that off..thanks.

I had hoped to just keep it but the arrival of the CC bill helped to convince me otherwise....I seriously doubt it'll go for that but if it does I can't afford to be holding on to it for the chance...

Thanks for all of the input, I think I'll probably hold on to it until I can try it out. Sounds like it's worth somewhere in the range of $3-400 which is definitely more than I would have thought so...

Thanks for the help everybody, I guess it's good I didn't just list it for $100 years ago although that might have avoided some of the afflictions above...

My impression was that there were a lot...

I've had this lens for years and never really gotten around to shooting anything with it but every time I go to sell it something makes me hold on to it, I think it's the clunk of the shutter that...

Just a quick plug for Barry - I bought my old 8x10 as well as numerous accessories and parts for both the 8x10 and 5x7 from him over the past few years, he's been truly great to work with in every...

I second sending it to Richard, he's done work on both a meter and a Zone VI back for me and was great to deal with.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Thanks for the suggestions on recycling, I'll check into a few places here and see what I can come up with. As far as the way I have been doing things, anybody know if the steel wool method does...

A quick darkroom question, what do you do with your used fixer? From what I understand developer and stop are pretty non-toxic but fixer is full of of silver and not all that great for flushing into...

Whoa, thanks for all of the replies, lots to go through and think about. with the Unicolor reels, anybody else have any problems with uneven edge development? Anybody have similar problems with the...

Hey Robert, thanks for the reply. I'd definitely be interested in the reels if I can find a tank, let me take a look around on Ebay and see what I can come up with as I'd like to give them a try. One...

hey ic-racer, any idea if the jobo reels and tank would work with the unicolor base? is there a certain tank you'd recommend or are the different ones just dependent on the number of reels they can...

funny, i never considered just throwing the stainless tank and reel on the motor base...would you still use the same amount of chemistry that way or just enough to fill the half and a bit more, maybe...

I know it's not large format but I've got the feeling somebody here has the answer..

So a little history before the question: I've been developing B&W 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 with a print tube on a...

My UPC code seems to be the same but I've got "Step Ring 46-52", no "S" so maybe that's something although I sort of doubt it. Either way, I stepped up the lens barrel a tiny bit with a few layers of...

I'm planning on trying it out this weekend with an old darkslide on 4x5, if it works out well I'll have to find a spare 8x10 darkslide to do the same for the larger format, I'll let you know how it...

Hey Vinny, honestly I sort of forgot about that method after all of the other back and forth....I'm going to go back through what you suggested and see if I can modify it to work with my bum-fitting...

Thanks for the ideas, I was thinking of trying to find a rubber band or some sort of an o-ring to fit so maybe I'll go that route..

So the saga continues...I just got my step-up ring (Kenko) and for whatever reason it doesn't fit even close to snugly on the rear of the front lens barrel, the diameter is probably a 1/32nd of an...

Whoa, that's what I was looking for, excellent idea Kerry, thanks for taking the time to describe it, much appreciated.

Thanks Vinny, sounds like a good place to start....I'll try it out.

Thanks for the info Eric, I talked to Adam briefly as well, he recommended this:

http://skgrimes.com/slipon/index.htm

Seemed sort of expensive but I know it'd work, just figured I'd try here to...

Thanks for the tip on the lenscaps, $10 apiece sounds a lot better than $30.

It's the f/9

No threads at all. I'd thought about the series holder and then maybe a step-up ring from there to 52mm, guess that's a possibility.

One other question for those that have had these, any luck...

Does anybody have any experience with using filters on a Graphic Kowa 210mm? The front element doesn't have any threads making it a bit difficult. One possibility is the slip-on adapter that SK...

Man, that's beautiful, is the blur from the lens or from camera movement?

Thanks Donald, I have the shorter model (4550xl?) and am going to add something small onto the timer so it shouldn't be a problem. I also got an email from Richard at RH designs about something else...

I think for now, since I'm no electronics guy I'm going to just be happy that I can use the timer and the enlarger together and figure out some sort of "safe" light (thanks for the idea Kirk) that I...

One more piece of information, hopefully one that leads to a solution. I did some more reading and finally found a thread I had seen awhile back:

http://tinyurl.com/6b6bth

I tried what several...

Latest update: I tried running it through a couple of countdowns with both the Stop Clock and the Kearsarge w/ no luck, lamp will not go off for focus, doesn't even matter if the timer is on or off,...

Thanks Donald and Ted. Early this morning I went back out to the darkroom and gave it one more try, taking care to do exactly as described. I plugged the enlarger power supply into the wall outlet...

So the problem continues: I was lucky enough to find a used Stop Clock Pro on the forum and since the Kearsarge wasn't working I used it as an excuse to upgrade to the timer I really wanted. I wrote...

I found one on Ebay with a Buy-it-Now of $550, almost perfect condition with 2 backs, I was the 3rd or 4th person so look at it...I couldn't type the number into the buy-it slot fast enough. I'm...

Thanks, I think I tried that already but will give it one last try. As far as the ground, I'll see what I can do about getting one of my friends who knows something about electronics to take a look,...

I tried it again and it definitely doesn't work. I can actually turn off the timer and the enlarger stays on. If I replace the enlarger with any other electrical appliance (including the old...

Alright, there are two plugs coming out of the enlarger power supply, one short one that says to enlarger, one long one that I'm assuming goes to the wall. I'm putting the short one in the enlarger...

Yep, everything is in the correct places (same setup that works with the time-o-lite), timer plugged into the Saunders power supply timer socket, power supply plugged into the wall with the short...

I recently upgraded my enlarger to a Saunders 4550 (VCCE) which I assumed would work with my Kearsarge 301 timer as my previous enlarger did (Omega DII with a Super Chromega). I received the enlarger...
