    Re: Arista EDU ultra and Kodak hc110

    I mix 1:50 (straight from bottle) and develop for 6.5 minutes. It's a little short, but seeing as I really don't know what I'm doing in the darkroom, less time spent, the better! Heh...

    Re: Arista EDU ultra and Kodak hc110

    I use HC-110 with Arista.EDU 100. I love the results. However, I am VERY new to large format and have only shot perhaps and developed 20 sheets or so. Here are a few portraits I took next to a large...

    Re: Suggestions for single strobe portraits

    Don, I'm going to stick with something more along the lines of an Alien Bee or White Lightning. I had a 580EX when I owned a DSLR and I'm not sure if it will meet my needs with a LF setup.
