Actually VAT is 25% in the EU country where I live :-(
I think it is only the inexperienced EU online shoppers who gets surprised they have to pay VAT on imports incl postage, but now that eBay has...
It is just a plug (ad) for you to download the Tapatalk app on the device you are using.
It happens occasionally on all vBulletin forums I visit.
I have never bothered to use Tapatalk (which...
This changes quickly at all airports at the moment. Some of those that refused hand checks before, now allows it because they have switched to CT or are in the process of doing so.
I would first...
Fotoimpex has it in stock

Fun subject.
It seems like the more lenses and options I have in my bag the less satisfied I am with the process and results.
I experience a mild paralysation by too many choices.
I feel the...
Wish it was a website. Almost unbearable to watch and listen to.
I separated all now.
Your suggestion came in handy in combination with a sheet of rubber.
I can’t seem to separate the “aperture barrel” from the large circular plate.
It doesn’t matter too much...
Great to know.
My housing situation doesn’t allow a permanent darkroom, so my darkroom work is limited to medium format, 35mm and contact prints 3-5 times a year. But one can hope for a near future...
Thanks Dan. Very useful information.
The mystery lens does not have a diaphragm or other ways to control light transmission.
As noted in my original post, is has a surface coated mirror placed...
Thanks Kevin.
The front group edge of the 150/9 is set below the edge of the "barrel" and is difficult to grab with anything. The rear group seems stuck, but it is not a big deal with that lens,...
Thanks all, great information and leads!
Coming from medium and smaller formats and being new to large format, I wasn't really familiar with lenses that can be used both for process and regular...
I picked up below lenses for a little pocket change - so little that I didn't put much thought into how to utilise them at the moment of purchase.
The seller didn't know anything other than he...
I certainly wouldn't mind owning one of those cool looking Peak grain focusers, but I too have absolutely no complaints about my Paterson Micro Focus finder. I have used it since the mid 70's.
Try a water pre-wash before the developer. I had a similar problem with 120 processing years back and the prewash eliminated the problem. I do that with all my processing now. (2-3 minutes with water...
If you can't see it in the results, there is not much point in speculating if there is a problem.
I mostly see non-uniform issues with horizontally travelling focal plane cloth shutters, not often...
You can certainly use it with a focal plane shutter but you will not know if the curtain travels at an even speed across the film gate - a not uncommon problem with this type of shutters.
That is exactly what Fritz's app "Shutter-Speed" does (The App is free). And you don't need a calculator.
The photo plug just makes it much easier to ID the exact part of the curve that indicates...
Correct. On a modern iphone you'll need the little TRRS headset adapter: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMX62AM/A/lightning-to-35-mm-headphone-jack-adapter
Can’t be patented - nothing novel.
Many years ago, the guy who made the shutter speed sound testing app sent me a devise build into a TRRS jack plug to be inserted into the phone.
When exposed to light through the lens it gives a...
He was by no means a traditionalist and embraced technological advances - as he also mentions in this piece when talking about his legacy:

Exactly. Just omit the head.
It’s just a matter of knowing your tool.
The MOD54 has served me well after I adjusted my agitation/inversion method.
Since I get as good results as I could wish for and with little effort ,...
Mostly I don't find it worth the hassel to request hand inspection where the classic X-ray machines are deployed. I have routinely traveled with 400 ISO and below with multiple passes both out and...
I found the same clips on Amazon.de when I started out with 4X5 last year. I wasn't too comfortable with wooden pegs and these caught my eyes.
They are well made and cheap.
I run the string...
Foma 200 in 120 format is widely considered problematic, for the reasons Bernice shows above as well as tendency to excessive curling.
I find Foma 200 perfectly adequate as an economic alternative...
For those considering FilmLab:
I just got a mail explaining they are warming up for a new release of their desktop version and are giving 30% off for a limited time:
...When we announce FilmLab...

I am mildly nearsighted and found the strongest drugstore reading glasses perfect for focusing.
You bring your own sofa on location - cool ;-)
I don't think the MOD54 has been mentioned yet. Fits in a Paterson tank. The MOD54 unit is a little overpriced for what it is, but not unreasonably so.
Works great if you have average fine motor...
Red attracts more attention in the wild - "more" is relative - of course. Not as if large format cameras were ever inconspicuous.
In the studio it probably doesn't matter.
You don’t know where the container will be placed on the ship. If you have seen a container ship you know what I mean. In my experience, shipping companies don’t insure against damage from humidity...
Bob Dylan apparently also used photographs as "inspiration" for his paintings:

Don't provoke nightmares and anxiety, please. ;)
I would survive on FOMA and still enjoy it but not quite as much.
I don't think it is particularly difficult to mark the bottle of mixed fixer for each film/roll/sheet processed and gradually extend the fixing time until the manufactures limit for the solution is...
All used equipment comes with a risk, and if you need to pay in order to address any unexpected problem, that money is not recoupable when you resell.
All new equipment will lose in value when you...
Why is this interesting or relevant?
It is a good point. It may, although I haven't experienced it.
I use a glossy coated box (some electronic device came in it) and taped the cut edges where debris would potentially come from. It...
Never seen a person mention his own name so many times on one web-page, with the possible exception of Thorsten Overgaard, incidentally another Dane:...
