Farmtek has really big 'full spectrum' CFLs. A 100 watt has the light output of a 500w old tungsten, but obviously a little less heat than a tunsten 100w. A word about the lighting system. It is not...

In my weird brain, when I see a subject I see a framing of either 2x3 proportions(35,6x9,5x7) or 4x5(&8x10). Even if I'm shooting square. In the Ciba days I shot a lot of 5x7 Ektachrome. In a nice...
If the diaphragm works you might try a few shots with the 'hand-actuated shutter' to see how you like the lens. It does not have to be a good circle for a test shot or two. If the diaphragm is bad...
For me the container was not the tricky part. It was balance. I ended up with one of those two-wheeled shopping drag-abouts with what look like medium sized plastic wheels from a lawn mower. The...
You do need to replace the paint, with a varnish if you want to see the grain(and the flaws). Richard is right, you can wait till it breaks, but don't let the environment attack/weaken/soften the...
I have an old Conley 5x7 with the old one-each movements which are geared, and I have seen more complicated versions, but as to full movements at each end, not on an unmodified field camera. I'd bet...
If someone like Ries seems to ignore your email, you should consider who they are and suspect overzealous spam filtering. A guy 50 miles from me was advertising a lens for months, and I sent three or...
What Leigh said. Other than plug differences, it's just like hooking up a dryer or stove(elec.of course).
Ironically enough, boxwood. It's almost as stable as the traditional mahogany. I find it difficult to make tiny dovetails in plywood, so solid but not too hard is my choice. If you don't sit on it...
Use vinyl elec tape. Stretch tightly, gaining no more than a quarter of a width at a turn. This will compress the housing, removing slack in the cable. Put several turns wherever you see a bulge in ...
Get what numbers you can off it & go on apug & ask Simon Galley from Ilford. It's pretty old, but he may know who to ask.
In any case open it up and figure what you can do with it. Check the ph of...
It's pretty simple. Once development has stopped, light will only make easier the job of the reversal foggant, whether a separate bath or incorporated into the colour developer. If you are insecure...
Compare it on the same shot to your other lens, rig up a temporary board if you have to. Use decent film so you
can really compare- it's worth the cost to find what you like, not go by someone...
Call Beseler(beseler.com). I think there is a spacer between the turret and the lens stage. I assume you need the single board because you have a large diameter lens. You will probably have to order...
Growing up, I used darkrooms in laundry room, pump cellar, bathrooms,under a barn, a furnace room(next to a coal bin). No wonder I enjoy my attic! Of course, I also walked three miles to school,...
400cn has an orange mask, which can make conventional printing tricky. However, it has amazing resistance
to reciprocity failure. Look it up, you'll want to have some on hand if you shoot in...
The column with neg stage will be fine anywhere you put it, with the column locked to protect the plastic gears, and as Harry says all the glass packed separately. Do be careful of your enlarging...
I have a shot at getting a dip-and-dunk setup for up to 8x10. Years ago I helped build
a lab in which we had a huge motorised dip tank. We even offered color shifts in E-6.
With test strips,Ph, and...
Makes a fine 4" refractor
Just use the longest focal length lens that will give the mag. you want, and it will match
up pretty well.
Cheap, fast, and capable? Sign in a shop- "Work done here is cheap

Talk to Fed/UPS and see what they say. It may not be worth the ulcers. Ask also for a
written copy of the rules for shipping chemistry from both Europe and N America.
If you do it yourself you...
I'm working on a POP conversion formula for chloride paper. I would love to try the new
material. Whatever works best will have a small but loyal market with the popheads.
I'll pm when I have more...
Have you tried a restrainer with the reversal films? Fog, like pre-exposure, will lower
both density and contrast. I'd experiment with KBr first, then benzotriazole(Edwal
Orthazite). Start with a...
