Actually WD-40 works pretty well.

B&H has Arkay SS Trays 11x14, inside dimensions are 12x15, They're pricey though. Do a search for: B&H # ARTSS11143 MFR # 600652

Wow, did this thread start to run off the road. Seems like some of it should be nailed up in the Lounge. I do appreciate the analogies though.

This is going to seem fairly obvious to most here,...

The price of 8x10 film certainly should be a determining factor, especially if you plan on shooting a lot. What Drew said, "What is killing me now is the price of museum board." I wholeheartedly...

I suspect that copyright infringement has crossed the minds of most folks, thus the unwillingness to post a verbatim formula from the Cookbook.
Currently, it appears that Heico still makes an...

Congrats on the new Zone Vl 8x10. I'm sure it will make printing tremendously easier. However, just to clarify, you most certainly can do split contrast printing with an 8x10 Elwood. I do it all...

Siince 9/11 until recently, I have had no problem having almost anything shipped to the midwest by B&H. Only a week ago I recieved a shipment of 5 Gal. of Rapid Fix by UPS from them. So I can only...

I shoot mostly 5x7 and some 8x10, so the size of the image circle is fairly important. Size and weight are also important, since I'm not getting any younger and am trying to revamp some of my LF...

OK, continuing on with the discussion, does anyone have any thoughts on their prefrence between the Nikkor-M 300, and the G Claron 305? I know that the G Claron has a much larger image circle...

I use the 150/8.0 SW Nikkor with some movement, and I also use the 120/8.0 SW Nikkor which offers corner to corner coverage with no movement on my V8 Deardorff with the bellows fully compressed on a...

I'm going to answer your question directly from experience, and I would imagine it is about the same experience that I would imagine probably the vast majority of the folks on this forum have had. ...

I use both a 150mm Nikkor SW and a 120mm Nikkor SW on my V8 on normal lensboards. The 120 fully covers 8x10 with no movement.

I have an older one that goes from 90 to 360mm. Although I don't own a Linhof, a friend of mine showed me (almost 40 years ago) how he used it as a hand held viewing/cropping tool when tring to size...

Kevin & Randy, thanks for the suggestion using a little tape. Never thought of that. That pretty much solved the problem. It was interesting that the loose play was in both axis, but more...

In case anyone may be interested, or has had this problem in the past where one back fits, and one doesn't. Here's an update. I decided to swap pins between the two backs. There was no change. ...

Does anybody have any tips on snugging up the back on an 8x10 Deardorff? It's not real loose, but there is some slight play. I was just wondering if there is a "correct" method to tighten it up. ...

I ususally just count 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi ... unless I've had dental work that day and my mouth has been shot up with a bunch of novocaine ... then it becomes as lot more difficult to count!...

Sal is right, I did initially inquire about Variable Contrast B&W Printing, and more specifically about an 8x10 replacement for my Aristo head. However, this is exactly what this forum is all about,...

I came across a company in Denver called Customized Designs that creates customized Color LED Display modules for Bars, Furniture, Display models, etc. and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of...

For future reference .... the glass always goes in the back of the camera, never on top!:)

How much do you have invested in your gear? Including lenses, camera, filters, etc.? Why skimp on the tripod? Ok expense is a good reason. However, knowing the thousands of dollars in camera gear,...

As an previous owner of both, I liked each for different reasons. The Canham is a much more stable camera that the Deardorff IMHO. I had both 4x5 & 5x7 backs for each and primarily shot 5x7 because...

This is my floor/wall mount solution for my 8x10. Metal shelf from Home Depot bolted to concrete wall with a 1" wood mount board bolted to it.
It works for me. Hope this helps.

I use the 120SW on my Canham 5x7 Wood field which uses Canham 4.3 or Toyo lens boards. It's a tight fit to get the round peg in the square hole, but it definitely fits, and it is one of my favorite...

Although not an original question on this forum by any stretch of the imagination, I'm surprised it's taken 5 pages for someone to bring up the argument for 5x7. Double the size of 4x5, half the...

My apologies to all V8 users for using such a fine camera for a little humor. Perhaps I should have PS it on to the front of a Norma. Personally, I actually use the 8x10 dark slide with my V8 as a...

Another solution, although not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, is to outfit your your front standard with a Sunsetter retractable awning over the lens. The benefits are obvious, it keeps...

Yep, I stand corrected. (i actually caught it as soon as I posted it, but it was late and I was too tired to correct it.) None-the-less there is a lot of so-called fine art out there that could be...

So is "fine art" like sand paper? Does that mean there's "medium art' and "rough art"? Hasn't this question been debated for the last 100 years? Photography has already been accepted as "Art"! ...

Well, E. von Hoegh, you caught me at the quick, had my heart racing when you punctuated my quote in extreme large fonts for all to see, (oh oh, I could be wrong, I'm only human after all, and I do...

I shoot multiple formats and usually take them all when I go out for a couple of weeks at a time: 2 1/4, 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10. A photographer friend once asked me, "how do you know what format to...

So if I collected Gold Rim Dagors, would I get the reputation as a Golden Retriever?

Try a recessed lens board. I used one with a 90 on a 5x7 Ansco. No problem.

As one who has photographed a ton of CF samples for lab test reports, there will certainly be delamination issues with the layers, depending on the length of exposure to the salt water, and yet it is...

Not to add fuel to the fire, but the reality is that even the same manufacture of the same focal length can vary by some margin, in spite of stringent quality control, meaning you could have tested 4...

My 240 and 360 are on 6x6 boards, but the 120, 150 SW, and the 300mm Nikon Lenses are on Canham boards and I use a Canham adapter for the V8 made by Barry at Deardorff. I think he made it for me for...

Richard Ritter also specializes in Pentax Spot Meter repairs.

I second the Rodenstock 6X. I've used one for about 12+ years, but they have become pricey.

It looks too small to be an 8x10 to me. The back is a trapezoid. At best it's a 4x7x5!

Ok, who uses Efka 8x10 film, either ISO 100 or 400? And if so, how does it compare to Kodak or Ilford? What developer do you use? I apologize for tagging onto your thread, but it seemed like a...
