So Ortho film tends to be slightly more sensitive to red?
I used to spend hours under a dark cloth with a lope, re-checking focus, not any more!
Think of your focus as a slice through space, you can vary that slice with the position of the camera and/or...
And thank you too Antonio...yes life size would be good!

Hi Glad you like it.
I have always liked Tintype portraits, those interesting skin and eye tones are just beautiful. Currently I don't have the time to delve into that fascinating process so in...
Hi Guys and Gals
I have not posted for sometime as I have been obsessed with my Rolleiflex! But this weekend I have been mucking about with Orthochromatic film and thought you might like to see the...
After much Facebook-ing, Instagram-ing and Linkedin-ing I realised that, though I had seen beautiful countryside, amazing cameras, my friends on bicycles and work colleague's great projects, I hadn't...
Why do we photograph? Because yacht design college wouldn't take me and photography college would...oh how my life could have been so different!
Again thanks for your excellent replies...though I am not sure about parties in my darkroom! I think I'll go for the Omega, I mean Beseler, no ...maybe I should get both?
Yeah the Breseler seems to be the best equipped and cleanest...buy that one and then convert my loft into a darkroom, maybe.
Thanks for the replies chaps, it looks like they are both worthy...
What ho knowledgable folk.
I have the opportunity to purchase either of the above enlargers. Both seem complete and are going for roughly the same price.
I have used neither in the past, so know...
Yes I have submitted to a couple of the briefs, each time without success. However as I have chosen the slightly obsecure it gives you a interesting library of images to up load to Alamy at a later...
Ideal for me though...thanks for info!
Don't forget Lee Miller...Awesome photographer.
Fascinating stuff chaps....great bit of London history....
Well, yes, but it's good to hear the views on on each one.
What ho
I haven't got a large format enlarger, I want a large format enlarger.
I know most of the companies that make enlargers, past and present, but when it comes to the model names and negative...
Thanks for that Renato. Not that I much experience of the the different Rollei lens but I guess they are all pretty exceptional....the 2.8 Xenotar is one I would like to try.
Hi Folks
My Arca hasn't seen the light of day recently. This is probably why....http://www.myrolleiflex.co.uk...let me know what you think.
Ta Andy
A LF gentlemen respects Queen, country, school and family (in that order), is polite to all, even foreigners despite their lack of breeding and moral fibre. He uses the the word 'love' only when...
An epic, awe inspiring, life affirming trip. I bet we haven't heard (?) the last from this remarkable man. Happy Christmas Greg
Good choice, I bought my Arca, C model I think, from a bloke outside the British Museum over twenty years ago! Best 5x4 for what I shot. Look out for bag bellows and recessed lens boards for wide...
Lovely....
Not half!
My theory is that if you stand in the middle of any urban enviorment with an LF camera on a tripod people come and talk to you...usual with many questions about what you're doing and what...
Hackney a dump!!? I used to shoot a lot of social housing refrubishment around Hackney and never once had any of my gear knicked or was hassled in any way. Its now becoming very trendy or so I have...
I agree....and I have always thought its much easier to be a painter than photographer! That's if you can paint!
Ok Peter Lik is a guy that's not short of a bob(£) or two....how does he do it? Limited or open? If limited I bet he won't be destroying any negs soon!
I have often wondered about these cameras...so if not beginners or experts camera who would use it?
This is something I have never worked out.... why change from whole, half and quarter plate to 5x4 (not 4x5) and 10x8....? Was 5x4 and 10x8 more popular than the plate sizes in the US back in the day?
My first photography job was at Christies and you soon realise that there is a lot of money to be made from art...I once dropped a jade brooch smashing into many pieces. I was mortified but the...
I know this is an old thread but I've only just seen it..... Try Sendeans http://www.sendeancameras.co.uk/ in London...not used them myself but when ever I pass their shop there seems to be a number...
Ha I was just about to ask the same question! Great minds and all that....
Being slightly dim I am wondering how does this digital contact negative film work? Do you simply print the film the same...
Your Tibet thread was one of the first things that started this slight obession....must have been a hell of a trip! Got anymore Super D adventures planned??
So a a Mag-bag holds 12 sheets of film?
By heck I have just found John Minnicks Aero Liberator site http://johnminnicks.com fantastic!
Good question! Its an online photo library....maybe its a British company!
So I've got to get one with the slotted film holders and the aperture/focusing sounds a touch frustrating....but not put off yet!
Having used monorails and field cameras for all my large format work over the years, I have recently been intrigued by cameras such as The Graflex RB Super series, the Arca Swiss Reflex and other...

Originally shot on my Dslr for Alamy, deciding that it need the LF treatment (what doesn't) it is still a bit of a work in progress. Once happy with it I'll post it a bit bigger....in case...
From 1986 to 2000 I was a studio photographer using LF most days to shot products, food, room sets and the like. I took pride at being good at my craft, I was organised, methodical, had the correct...
