  1. Re: Ebony Camera Bellows Support: Description or pictures requested

    Thank you Monty! This is exactly what I need, and is enough for me to make a set of temporary (not adjustable) stand-ins until I can figure out how to make an adjustable one.

    I am totally...
  2. Re: Ebony Camera Bellows Support: Description or pictures requested

    Thanks Monty, pictures of the item (what do those knobs do?) and in camera would be very helpful...
  3. Ebony Camera Bellows Support: Description or pictures requested

    I am looking for a few pictures or a description of the Ebony bellows support. Some of the larger Ebony cameras came with an adjustable bellows support device. I have seen pictures of these on...
  4. Re: DIY Right Angle Mirror-Box for ULF Closeups?

    I had a 19 3/4" Kodak Ektanon (f10) that came with a nicely made 90 degree prism for just this purpose. I used this for a bit with 11x14 and it worked as expected, but found that I was still...

    Re: Deguerre Camera

    To my knowledge Daguerre and Niépce (and maybe Talbot) began their research using a camera obscura. Some of these had mirrors which would allow a piece of paper placed on top of a piece of ground...

  8. Re: Designing and printing a 4x10 holder

    Would love to see the files on Thingiverse! Not sure of Fusion360 files are sharable, but that is good too!
  9. Re: Aero Ektar 343mm / 13.5" / F3.5 Info

    My Eastman 13.5" f3.5 barrel measures 3.8705" (just a hair under 3 7/8"), so the same as Tracy's 12" f2.5 shutter. A caveat: My calipers are cheap and my technique is poor. But I have two sets of...
  10. Re: Aero Ektar 343mm / 13.5" / F3.5 Info

    That looks right to me. How much staining in the rear element?
  11. Re: Aero Ektar 343mm / 13.5" / F3.5 Info

    I will check this weekend! Just noticed another note from about the same time which said that the 610mm Aero Ektar (F6?) also has the same barrel size. This might be a hallucination, but I can...
  12. Re: Aero Ektar 343mm / 13.5" / F3.5 Info

    About 20 years ago I pulled a (big) box of four of them out of a dumpster next to a camera store (somewhere in Queens) that had closed, along with a few other choice items. Two were marked Eastman...

    Re: anti rotation screw

    I am not sure how you would actually see one in an image; The hole and screw are between the shutter and board, so wouldn't be visible unless you removed the lens.

    To be clear, the head of the...

    Hahnemühle Platinum Rag?
  15. Re: Platinum/Palladium prints...varnished

    That is an interesting point. I notice that Renaissance Wax does not work so well on my current paper of choice, Legion Revere, and works better on other papers I have used. Have to think about which...

    Re: 8x10 on a Bicycle?

    I have been biking with a 5x12 around town. I use an extended bike as mentioned above with huge rear bags. I recently upgraded to an eBike with fat tires which is really nice, but makes me feel lazy.
  17. Re: Platinum/Palladium prints...varnished

    It is possible to abrade the surface when applying wax and remove some of the "delicacy," so you do need to do so carefully with a soft cloth.
  18. Re: Platinum/Palladium prints...varnished

    I have been using Renaissance Wax for many years on Kallitype prints, and have been pleased with the results. Previous to that I used beeswax and lavender oil, as Paul described above. I tried a...
  19. Re: Safely Dispose of Used Clearing Bath

    What do you use to clear? Citric acid might be ok, but EDTA is not (easily) biodegradable.

    There is also a database of macro...
  21. Re: Traveling with chemicals on a long trip? Can I get some advice on what to bring?

    Daguerre used concentrated (and maybe heated?) sea water initally, but it was slow and problematic, even with the easy-to-clear Daguerreotype plates. It would likely take hours with modern film and...

  23. Re: Best 8x10 camera for ultra-wide angle?

    My 8x10 Deardorff can handle a 75mm Biogon. Of course the lens won't cover the format, but I love the circle.

  24. Re: Distilled water, how many of you distill your own?

  26. Re: Recent Close-Up Botanical Daguerreotypes

    Those are lovely. Really nicely done. The white background can be so unforgiving, but yours is wonderful and really helps the plants pop out.

    I am curious, are those beveled edges on the plates?...

    Welcome! There is currently nothing formal as far as I know, but there are some networks centered around the Bluemoon Camera store, as Paul mentioned.

  33. Re: 24cm X 76 meters of Agfa Aviphot 200 has arrived

    Thank you!

    I didn't find the curl to be an issue. It sat flat in my holders, and didn't shift around much. I think I have figured out how to cut it evenly (which is, apparently, what I do on...
  34. Re: 24cm X 76 meters of Agfa Aviphot 200 has arrived

    I have also been playing with one of the 24cm rolls of Aviphot 200. I bought it with intention to use with 18x24cm, but ended up distracted by 7x11". I am currently using it at 100 iso developed in...
  35. Re: Wollensak Varium vs Verito

    Both are certainly soft focus lenses, however the Varium is not as soft as the Verito (at similar apertures), and to my eye the Varium has less halation (so, less highlight glow). The Varium is also...

    Re: Schneider Xenar 3.5/240

    Before you spend a lot of time and money on this lens, consider if you need a lens this fast. Are you planning on using it at f3.5? If not, perhaps you can find another 240mm lens in better condition...
