Yes, vegetable oil will likely turn bad. If I had kept the lens my plan was to remove the cell every so often, clean and replace the drop of canola oil. The last thing I want is for my lenses to...
Once upon a time I acquired an old 12" rapid rectilinear - cost me nothing. It had some bad balsam separation. I removed the separating cell, let it soak in a dish of acetone, checking the progress...

I still have mine but haven't used it in years - Mine very easily covers 5X7 and seems to almost cover 8X10 - just barely vignettes the corners. Would cover 4X10. It is a sharp lens.
What a wonderful idea. I bet this will be a treasured portrait for ever.

Doremus, I had never heard this before - I do pre-soak, adding one sheet at a time, but never waiting longer than just making sure the previous sheet was completely submerged before adding the next...
Decided to try to figure out this whole focus stacking thingy - tried it more than 10 years ago and did it manually in PS - took way to long. Used my Fuji X100v, had the camera shoot the exposures...
I made some myself many years ago - just cut some PVC tubing, curled the film and slid it in then set all the tubes in a tray of developer and rolled them until time was up. I think I tried it once...
I have always done 4X5 and 5X7 in 8X10 trays. I have done 8X10 in 11X14 trays.
In Alan Greene's book Primitive Photography he gives instructions on using skim milk to make a focusing screen. I haven't tried it yet. I may give it a try just for fun.
I did grind one when I...
My lady and I explored one of the local walking trails yesterday. Along the way we discovered that the stories kids tell at night by flashlight during sleep-overs are actually true.

I am not positive that I understand your quandary - but if you are just in need of wide angle lens hoods, some years back I purchased a couple very nice aluminum lens hoods thru B&H (I believe)...
Oh my, this is wonderful.

I really like this one - just kind of gave me a "feeling".

But I don't go to the races, so I don't care :)
But both sides have been lying to the voters for generations. People vote for one side or the other seemingly regardless of what the truth is.

Wonderful! Since I have that camera as well, are you intimating that I should be able to capture such inspiring images? I sure hope that's what you are intimating :)
Thanks guys - glad you like.
Every week for the past few years I drive past this several times a day, finally stopped and shot a few before someone burns it down. Fujifilm X100v.

I had an OM-1 back in around '79-'80. Very nice camera. I have had a few Mamiya TLR's as well, as seen in the background of your image. Have a C220 now.
Freestyle has 5X7 and 8X10 - they are out of 4X5.

That looks good Dugan. What would the 4/4 mean?
Just seeing if anyone can offer some ideas on translating this:
I collect cased images (daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes). I removed my latest acquisition - a daguerreotype - from it's case...
I once shot with empty film holders - talk about under exposed.

I am sure it could be something that I am doing. I will just have to experiment...I guess. Could be fixing to long - like 4 minutes...? Just a water stop-bath.
Got it from ZZ.

Well, I am getting the feeling that the quality control in manufacturing of Fuji Xray film is lacking. Over the past 4-5 years I have purchased five 100 sheet boxes. All have been 8X10 but my most...
Thanks Dugan - shot a few years back for WWPD - ashamed to say I haven't shot many since.
Built a nice cigar box camera a year ago and have yet to shoot any 4X5 with it.
Halide - the influencing factors for a pinhole that come to mind are:
1 - hole roundness
2 - hole size
3 - material thickness
If the aluminum for your laser-drilled pinhole is considerably...
For longer than I care to admit, and for reasons unbeknownst to me, I was drawn to large, extremely sharp (top to bottom), images with loads of contrast. I don't know exactly what / when my...
Trust me, this is in no way a criticism, I love this portrait, but are the out-of-focus shoes intentional?
I have a very nice Wollensak Series II Velostigmat in 7.5" FL (190mm). I believe these are Tessars. Mine is in an Alphax shutter but no PC socket. I suspect they can be had in other shutters. I...
