Conrad,
How good was the resolution of the lens after you recemented using the mechanical centering method? I'm thinking about using this same method on an old rolleiflex TLR I have.
I'm fairly interested in doing either cyanotypes or kallitypes on glass.
Unfortunately, neither of these processes have any inherent adhesion to glass, d o they? My initial reaction is no.

Honestly, I would like the next big thing in photography to be vast improvements in the printing process - materials and chemicals that yield blacks far more light-absorbent than anything invented...
If you're looking for a new hobby Jen, you could always buy an affordable Janomi sewing machine, some 1050 denier cordura, some ensolite foam, and make your own full-custom, to-your-specs tote for ...
I made one. So can you.
I second the majestic tripods.
They're massive, heavy, and strong as an ox (as are their rather overbuilt gearheads).
huh, nathaniel, that's really interesting!
You probably already know that you're going to go with whichever one you're in love with :)
I personally would go with the L-508. More features are useful when it comes to light metering, in my...
Assuming you have a cartridge style film holder.
0. Remove cartridge from film holder case. 1. Take roll of film. 2. Place the roll into the appropriate stop on the holder. 3. Wrap film around...
1. Flatbad 2. Minimum non-interpolated resolution: 600 dpi (nowadays, 1200 dpi is standard) (most scanners provide two numbers for resolution, such as 1200dpi x 600dpi. The smaller number is the...
Hi Ellis,
I have looked at the prices for new F1's and F2's. They are expensive also. However, not everyone who has a fledgling interest in large format is naive (or rich :) enough to invest in...
A used Sinar F + lens and a few accessories costs $600-800.
An arca swiss discovery still costs $1200+ without anything but the standards, rail and bellows.
If anyone finds me an arca swiss...
I also develop my B&W film in my apartment.
If the doran tank is anything like the yankee cut film tank, the whole reason it takes so much chemistry is that it's meant to process 12 sheets...
Yes, it was available in 4x5. In fact the local store here was selling boxes of Ilford XP2 (not SUPER) 100 sheets for $30.00 a piece. Of course, it was horribly outdated (2 years I believe) and...
To Mr. Feldman and others, I urge you to read the articles on this site:
I carry all film (usually four boxes or so of 8 X 10) in a separate, smaller carry-on. There are probably not many...
There's no physical reason why x-rays would "bounce" off metal and somehow cause more x-ray exposure to film in film holders.
It's just not how x-rays work.
There's already an article on this...
Have you considered making your own cheap drying cabinet?
Only thing I can think of being a problem is then the other art students would use the thing.
Perhaps a combination lock and a sign?
The Sinar F has a DOF calculator.
Cleeo,
Yes, please describe in detail what you were taking a picture of, how far away the subject was, time of day, type of slide film, etc. It will help us help you =)
Richard,
I don't know the specs for mechanical shutter error, but could you please reveal to us the discrepancies for marked speeds for any of the shutters you have tested?
I'd be interested...
machine your own quick release plate. I used 6061-T6 aluminum, which should be soft enough to prevent marring and there's no paint to speak of.
I had to make one for the Bogen 3030 pantilt head...
Theo,
Are you using a small MF CCD phase one, or are you using a 4x5" phase one scanning back?
Strange, here's another try.
Toyoview 45CX, brand new + gobs of stuff, $450ish with proof of student status at a university. Geared fine focus, full movements, rotating back. Only hard part is finding a lens (or lenses) that...
Wayne,
Yep! It's at full aperture:
Shutter open on "T" mode, f/7.7:
Shutter open on 1/30 speed, f/7.7 with preview engaged:
Thanks for the answers folks.
The Ektar is in Supermatic Shutter. If I trip the shutter while holding the button, the shutter hangs open (with a bit of the iris diaphragm showing). To reset the...
Hello, good folks!
First, let me say that the Sinar F manual is incredibly bad.
Bad bad bad.
Here are my problems. If you have any solutions let me know, thanks :)
Question 1: -----------
Sorry I can't ask your questions about traditional processes, but:
Jim, scanning should incurr a one-time fee. If the place that scans for you is not giving you the file they scanned, then go...
guys. Guys.

David,
Are you allowed to use a flash?
If you're already a 4x5 user, and you're finding yourself asking a question like, "6x9 vs 4x5", it's plainly obvious that there are more immediate issues at hand than merely enlargement capability....
well...there's a manfrotto micrometric focusing rail?
sometimes used on Arca-Swiss ballheads :)
Haven't heard of it, sorry.
forgive my ignorance, but what is a cam for a lens?
actually, using long focal lens doesn't necessarily make for better portraits.
It helps with some types of faces - mostly, white caucasians. However, for a lot of black and asian men, I find...
just curious, which "cheap sinar" is considered rickety?
The F's, which seem like the cheapest to me, aren't very rickety at all.
That's it, if the html parser on this place doesn't get this right, I'm going to...go home and photograph something. http://hv.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0003ga
