My Wista and Speed Graphic are on the lower shelf.

I just got mine too, and my initial impressions are basically the same--focus is clearly much improved over the original, flatness still seems to an issue, but still also improved. Taping to the...
An ISBN is mainly useful for distribution to the trade (it is how booksellers keep track of the book). If your friend is mainly going to sell them direct himself, it probably doesn't matter.
Fine, but D-76 is cheap, easy to get, easy to use, and dependable. A perfectly good thing to use to learn the process on your first rolls. There will be no real advantage to doing something more...
You would seriously recommend pyrocat to someone who's never even loaded film into a tank before?
If you read through the comments on this link, it seems that Epson f'd up the holders and had to redo them. So if you've got a bad one you might be able to get a replacement.
My Jobo tank is one of the few bits of darkroom gear I have that was purchased new, and I have no regrets about spending the money.
Also, used film gear is so much cheaper than new that your up-front cash savings might still be more than any later tax benefit. On the other hand, for a business, reliability has to be considered as...
Did Epson provide film holders that don't actually hold film? That seems to make not sense.
I've got a dynamo hub on my bike that could be used to charge batteries (I admit I don't have the plug-in charger thingy, but they are out there). Otherwise, I suppose I could make do without a...
25 years is a long time for an application to remain relevant, but there's no guarantee that will go forever. After all corporate management can doom a product as quickly as technological change. See...
Also Gimp doesn't do CMYK, essential for prepress. They've made some headway, but they've been promising these features _forever_ and haven't been able to do it. N
Me too. But I was able to get it at edu discount, so it was vastly cheaper. I don't upgrade unless I really have to.
I'm keeping an eye on Affinity Photo as a possible replacement--the beta looks...
The film guide is for aligning larger sheets of film placed directly on the platen.
A series of oddly placed bathtubs and a long list of medical warnings?
The Epson web site indicates the holder should accommodate 1 frame up to 6x20, so it looks like 6x17 should be okay.
I have to admit this is tempting. I use the betterscanning holder, and it...
I guess it would depend on the nature of the publication, and how much time it would take for someone to transcribe and edit the pages. They'd probably have to be able to spend some time in AZ with...
I'd guess not enough interest. I work for an academic publisher, and I can tell you that that would not be an easy or cheap thing to do, particularly if you wanted to go back to the original...
Having a darkroom. Actually, my darkroom is a corner of my home office, that I've set up so I can make dark enough to print.
The Omega Brandess website appears to be offering LPL 4x5 enlargers at about $5K each. Personally, I don't think I would pay that unless I really had no choice. I suppose if one is rich or...
If it's such a good burger, why are you eating it in the car?
My Speed Graphic must be old fashioned--whenever you see one in a movie, everyone is wearing a hat.
Of course LF cameras are old-fashioned--they haven't been 'current fashion' for many decades....
You don't, though I've been satisfied with the kit I got from Betterscanning. The adjustable platform makes it fairly easy to get good focus, definitely a much better scan than provided by the stock...
Nice...brings back some memories (I haven't been to Arisia in 20 years--I think it was still 'coswork' in those days).
"Bullsh!t"
Right. The trend in China, like everywhere else, is that as affluence rises and modern consumer goods become more affordable, they dump the old tech and go with the new. Are there...
That's assuming the photo even makes it in the movie. Once when I was involved in a small press magazine, I got a call from a director (well, their assistant, of course, really), asking me to mock up...
Maybe this is what you want to do:

Millions? That seems highly unlikely. There's no reason for large numbers of people to suddenly decide they want film gear. Sure, some, but not a lot. At least, here I live, we see tourists and other...
I just upgraded to CS6, and intend to just use that for as long as I can.
I'll give it a go: Weegee, Arbus, Frank, Anonymous, Atget, Jan Tschichold (okay, a designer, not a photographer, but almost certainly the single most significant influence of my whole visual...
Also slightly weird is that "vintage" is not under "film photography" even though most of the stuff in that category is for film photography.
Will the back of your print be on display?
The same here--I use Acros in 120, and have a stash of 100' rolls in the freezer in 35mm that I bought up when they stopped offering them. But in 4x5 it's just too much. You'd think with the recent...
I've had bad luck at Colortek. The last time I used them--a couple of years ago-- they ruined some quickloads--they came back with weird bubbles from the processor. I've had better luck with Dorian...
Steiglitz may have been the first to complain about easy photography making everyone think they are an artist. In fact, he may have been the first to say that photography was dead, in the 1890s.
Also, I think he is using historically mixed frames of reference. He forgets that for most of the time that cameras have been easily available to amateurs and casual users--i.e., since the age of...
Nice. I thought that was closed to the public. Was it hard to get access?
If that's true (I don't know if it's generally true, but it seems to be the case for at least some items I've looked for), then reduced supply would tend to drive up prices even if demand is not...
The web and photographer's web sites and blogs and so on have allowed me to find out about a lot of artists I would not have known about otherwise. But if I were in a position to spend some money on...
That and the dust. They do a good job of keeping the film free of dust. But it's true: the premium that was charged for them was too high. If that weren't the case, we'd probably still be able to buy...
