    Re: Tripod help!

    Yeah, I figured that I'm probably asking a bit too much for $250, how much is reasonable to spend on something half decent? I need money for more lenses too!
  3. Re: Negatives sticking together in HP Combiplan tank?

    Thank you! I had the plastic washers installed, this must have been causing these issues. I seem to have been doing everything else correctly.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to get a tripod for use with my Zone VI field camera. I currently am borrowing a VERY HEAVY manfrotto tripod and 3 way head. I wanted to get something that is light enough to...

    Great thread here. Took a shot of these tiny ferns a few weeks ago. They were about 2-3" long, and really tested the bellows extension on the camera! 150mm xenar, TMAX 400.

    First Star Trails!

    Decided to try my hand at some star trails last weekend. Was taken in the city, next to a campfire (hence the bright tree). Maybe an hour exposure or so, 210mm lens. I'm happy with how it...

  11. Re: Negatives sticking together in HP Combiplan tank?

    Thanks all. I'm guessing I either agitate it too much, or push the clip down too hard (probably both of these things!).
  12. Negatives sticking together in HP Combiplan tank?

    Hi all,

    I got a HP combiplan 4x5 tank to develop my first negatives in, and I'm pretty happy with it so far, but I've noticed a few times that the negatives slide out of the slots and stick...

    Re: New to Large Format- what lens to get?

    Yeah, my wording was a bit confusing. It's a "permanent loan" sort of deal, he just told me not to sell it.

    Re: New to Large Format- what lens to get?

    Thanks again for the info! Would a SA 5.6 (non-XL) be a better option than the SA 8? Does the 5.6 make it a lot easier to focus on the ground glass, or is there another good reason to prefer one over...

    Re: New to Large Format- what lens to get?

    That sounds great. Yeah, the XL sounds like more lens that I need. Is the F8 SA more comparable to the Fujinon? It seem to be priced similarly. Having a large image circle would be nice, I've run...

    Re: New to Large Format- what lens to get?

    Thanks! I suppose I could always take the 150 I have for the Toyo, and mount it in a new lens board? Any thoughts on 90mm lenses? I saw the Fujinon and the Super Angulon, not sure which would give me...
