I see. Thank you very much.
Thanks Bob. Meaning that it is older? or newer?
A friend of mine has acquired a 6.5x9 format camera with the serial No. 14132. He's wondering if it is a Prospekt or a Technika and what year it was made. I thought one of the experts here might be...
That’s the Shanghai on the left? I have found to build contrast quickly. I rate it at 50 and develop it in Pyrocat HD, 1:1:50. Seems to tame it fairly well. I’m always happy when someone else’s tests...
We have scan backs now, but yes large sensors are in the future. Film has other qualities.
Duratrans is a good possibility. At the lab I worked for in the 90's we made mountains of those for all manner of backlit displays. Cibatrans too. Both could have beautiful color. Now this market is...
Thank you for sharing this. Excellent interview. In addition to being an excellent photographer, Paul is one of the funniest people you'll ever meet.
Check out surplus shed or Edmond scientific. They often have single element optics in long focal lengths. You won't have the wide angle of a pure pinhole however. I have an 8' camera obscura so I've...
I'm trying to get a sense for the value of a 5x7 Deardorff, very good condition, with front swings. I'm not looking for an exact price, really just a ballpark range. Any help would be most...
Well, as Paul said, they had CameraWork, and when that became a memory they started up Aperture. Adams helped get it off the ground and Minor made it his passion, with CameraWork very much in mind. I...
Sad news. She was a great artist and a great teacher. Her "nude in a box" gets copied all the time even still and she had many excellent photo assignment ideas for instructors. I heard her speak in...
I get where you are coming from Marko. If this image was done in something like gum over platinum I would probably agree with you (although it could be done, and someone may just come up with such an...
I can't think of anything more strictly documentary than a dagguerotype. Artsy? Banal? not to me. Anyway, As I understand the photographers story, he had just prepared some plates in his studio for...
I am happy to give this update: I have received the part and my warranty status was honored so things are looking up-- maybe-- it did take five months, but it seems like Greg at OmegaSatter is...
I've been using the pre-mixed stuff from PF for the last two years or more. I haven't had any failures. I don't transfer it to other bottles. I shake up the "B" bottle like it says and mix it with...
I am underwhelmed by the service so far. A big comedown from what it used to be. I am still waiting for a part and I remain hopeful that it will show up, but this has taken weeks, and it took some...
darn it, i can never get the links to work right:

I have seen it with Petzvals, and a 3.5 Xenar that I used to own. Here is an example from that lens that shows some swirlyness: http://www.flickr.com/photos/egould/114330661/

Chuck it? No, I wouldn't. Fixer is easily tested. Just take some scrap film and check if it clears. Make note the clearing time. Double that and there's your fix time. Pretty simple. I would only...

Thanks Oren. I'm having a show of this work in mid April and I've been holding back the web stuff until then, don't want it getting stale...yet. please do check back then. The geo-tagging stuff is...
Daniel,
I actually do all this on a mac, using a Garmin unit that cost about 200.00. It just needed a cheap serial/pda to usb adapter.
I've been using a hand held gps unit lately so I can geotag my images. It's very easy to mark a location in the unit, give it a unique name, and then download it to the computer later. I use this...
Whoops, never mind. Tim posted just as I was writing. Thanks for the info.
I think it's no autochrome. The article actually refers to a "print" and that there are "only... two [other] copies in existence... in museum collections." The story does not note any process but...
Paul-- I'm not surprised that image has sold well for you, as I recall most of your pictures would be improved by something dangling in front of the lens ;) -- as for me, I've done most of the...
Thanks folks. The client "knows a guy", so it's out of my hands on this one, but I'm sure it will come up again.
""a photolab named "Colorlab"? Isn't that almost worse than no advice at all?"" ...
Anyone have a good recommendation for drum scanning in the Boston area? I'd consider shipping it out too, if someone knows of a really great lab outside of the area. I'm scanning 4x5 trans.

"The legend of him slaying a dragon was pure spin." .... What?! you mean there was no dragon? First Santa, now this.... i can't go on.
Lot's of people doing pinhole photography go the paper neg route, as well as Ciba/Ilfo direct postive route. check out http://www.pinholeresource.com/ to see some images.
Nothing wrong with Flash as a plug in, it gets used alot more than most people think, its just how you are using it here that is the trouble, I think. The wipe with the white flash between images is...
I have a Ranger Nine and found this link very helpful: scroll down and there is a link to a pdf of the manual. http://www.colyngoodson.com/weston.html
Still a very useful, although somewhat large...
#2 doesn't display at all for me on Safari.
Hi Neil,
I re-lamped a few years ago with the hi-intensity V54 lamp, mainly so I could use VC filters. I print from many formats, 1/2 frame on up to 4x5 and I find my exposures generally fall...
Frank-- you shot off 20 polaroids for fun while working at Kodak? That does say something about the culture at EK.
Going back a bit, one of my favorites is William H. Rau. And Stieglitz as a New England photographer? New York State won't give him up so easily. Lots of great stuff from then and now out there.
Thanks, jj-- it's a great site too.
I think they might have moved. They have a simple metal profile that I like, and I had this crazy big order a few years ago with all these odd sizes, like 103 frames total, plus acrylic cut to size,...
Uh, Westfall Frame is still around. http://www.westfallframing.com/ I've used them, they've always been great, they have terrific customer service and good quantity discounts.
I agree with Paul, let's stop the madness. Put all this passion into your work, I say. And in a side note, Man Ray coined the term "fauxtographer" to describe himself, and I doubt he would like it...
