Hey-Anyone else notice the view camera used by a photographer during the break just now? You could see him inserting a 4X5 holder. Linhof possibly? I guess film is making a comeback!!

Thanks Sal!
Only 5X7, as a special order. 8X10 listed as discontinued. B&H apparently gets it from Freestyle.
Adox MCC 110 8X10 listed as discontinued on Freestyle, and the 16X20 out of stock. What’s the story?
Part of the Lee Friedlander show at Pace McGill in NYC were several Weston prints. A few by Bill Brandt also. A nice surprise, always good to see those prints. The sand in those Oceano ones is just...
80 prints by Brett Weston. 521 West 23rd St, NY, NY. Till Nov 3rd. Wow.

I use an aquarium heater, in a water bath. Even though I keep the room temp at 68, the developer tends to cool, from evaporation I suppose. Adjustment is a little tricky, because 68 is close to the...
A couple more shots.
My basement Darkroom/Laundry room. Omega B66 and D-2 enlarger. No sink, I have my trays on a bench. I have a separate heating zone for the basement, which I keep at 68, and keep several jugs of...

I was reading a little about print spotting, and, almost a year afterward, still coming to appreciate this set-up. Spotone kit, Marshall's Spot-All kit, brushes. Omega D-2 with Zone VI variable...
We were in Madrid recently and happened upon a large photo store, "Fotocasion". Its in La Latina, near central Madrid. There were a bunch of used enlargers, used 4X5 cameras, darkroom supplies, 4X5...
Really interesting collection of photos. http://www.shorpy.com/image/tid/179
Ansel Adams "The Print" has a useful section about dry mounting, with some illustrations.
I became interested in LF photography by seeing great prints and reading about the photographers (EW), but what really got me hooked was the first time I saw that big, bright image on the...

Yup-Water pipes-just the right distance apart!
I put together a wall mounted bracket to hold the drying screens. Didn't have space for a dedicated cabinet; the screens are stored out of the way when not in use. Holds 4 screens.
Lacking either a Zone VI compensating timer or a Haas Intellifaucet I tried the 'ol fishtank heater trick. I worked great! I'm lucky in that my darkroom is in the basement with a separate zone. I...
Well, I bit the bullet, new bellows, new box of film, compendium lens hood. On reloading the holders I found that several had been mis-loaded: one side of the film was above the flange. A few points...
AIPAD show at the Park Ave Armory March 18-21. If you're in the NYC area you should check this one out. I went for the first time last year and was like a pig in sh*t! All the galleries from around...
So a bellows leak would act like a pinhole camera? I had repaired the bellows with liquid electrical tape; I'll have to check again. May be more than one thing happening.
Did have a bellows leak, but it had been repaired. That line of different density, and the triangular area were on several negatives. All negatives were exposed with the same lens/board. The negative...
On the left edge and the lower left hand corner of the neg I'm getting that line and that triangular cut off area. Doesn't happen all the time, not able to correlate it with specific film holders. I...
If you decide to go this route, make sure the piece of glass you obtain is flawless. I bought an 8X10 1/4 inch piece of glass, had the edges polished, but I did not notice that it had a few really...

One of Fred Pickers Zone VI videos shows him walking up close to the area he wants to meter and taking a reading from one or two feet away. So you don't necessarily have to meter from the camera...
Are there any #5 or 6 papers currently available? As noted below-I remember using Agfa Brovira #5. Just trying out a few things in the darkroom, and seeing the limits of multigrade paper with my VC...
Ok! I've been waiting for this category. One of my first 4X5 shots, with a basic calumet, around 1975. I'm just getting back into it after a 30 yr hiatus.
Thanks, Guys-I ordered the one from Freestyle-Mike
Any ideas as to where I can find a nice non-disposable lab apron to use in the darkroom?
Louie-Is that a flat bottomed tray, that is, no ridges? I tried to figure out how much solution I'd need for a slosher in an 11X14 Paterson ridged tray and I think it came out to 1200cc. I'm...
Toyo 45AII-After a rain a few months ago.
Its also been a very big jump for me-going from 35mm SLR to 4X5. While I am getting my workflow down as far as metering, film handling, focusing cloth-loupe-sunglasses-reading glasses :), I find my...

I got this steel rack at one of the home goods stores-Bed Bath and Beyond I think-and I hang the film from the upper rods with clothespins. Trays removed.

A bunch on EBay-that's 20 yrs old though!
