Hi Doug,

That looks doable; I'm in Gelderland, The Netherlands, which is not that ridiculously far away. The next couple of months are tricky in terms of time and budget, but I could get to, say,...

Genfer I'm often ambivalent about what's going on in nude photography, but I find that series absolutely delightful! Thank you so much.

All the best for your show, Robert! Wish I could see it.

I have a Durst L1200 and absolutely love working with it. I have never experienced that kind of stability and solidity in another enlarger. But it's an old enlarger. Doesn't sound like the new...

Store-wise, Catlabs of JP is there.

Austin I scrolled down, saw that picture and thought "I bet I know whose name is on the left". Thanks so much for all the beautiful work you keep posting. It's an inspiration.

Those are wonderful! It's fascinating to see what has and hasn't changed in a century.

I've been thinking about this as this whole thread has unfolded -- and I can understand why people are anxious about a lack of new components entering the LF / Analog 'ecosystem'. But I don't think...

Also, Gary, I've found this post/thread really inspiring in pushing me to develop my portfolio and start getting work out there. I'm not at the same stage of expertise or experience as an...

That's fantastic news Gary, well done and keep it up!

To me, that is breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you!

I think people underestimate just how industrial and financially driven the spam business is. Spammers go to work every day just like the rest of us. Getting around anti spam measures is their job....

You can buy the lightproof black plastic bags that are used to wrap film / paper inside their boxes. See here for example: http://www.ag-photographic.co.uk/light-proof-black-bags-505-c.asp

I shoot film because it makes me happy to do so. If it's not making you happy, do something else.

Nope that was a 2-reel tank. The 3-reel really is taller than the Jobo :)

Here are the Paterson and the Jobo 2500-series next to each other. In a picture with no context the Paterson can look bigger because it's taller relative to its diameter, but in fact the Jobo is...

Hey Russ,
Welcome aboard - I hope you enjoy the adventure you're starting.
As for whether MF shooters are welcome, most people here are multi-format shooters but the forum does focus on large...

I would also suggest sticking around. Think of this as a microcosm of life. There are a bunch of people brought together by an interest in common -- but otherwise they are incredibly diverse. And...

I have ordered a VDS 4x5 directly from the manufacturer in Hungary (much closer than Catalos in Boston :)) and apparently it should arrive in the next week or so. I'll post a review when it arrives.

Stefan, X-ray film is not particularly sensitive to X-rays (any more than any other film). In radiography it is used in a cassette that a fluorescent layer that glows under X-ray illumination, so...

Hi Mark,

I am not a scanning guru so I'm not going to touch the scanning aspects of the question -- except to invite you to reflect on your end-use for the images, and how much information is...

The funny thing is that I'm thinking of getting my first tattoo for my 40th birthday this year, to mark some important changes in my life and embrace some hopes for the future.

I figure that by...

Ben, I absolutely love that image. I always find I have an almost visceral, emotional (good) response to the combination of dark clouds over scenes lit by low-angle sunlight.

Well done on both...

Hi,

In your first scenario, the polariser should be on the outside (furthest form the lens). The reason is that you don't really know what your 81B is doing to the polarisation of light that...

Hi and welcome to the forum :)

Where are you based? Depending on where you are, I'm sure some kind soul would be willing to show you their gear and let you see how it all fits together.

For...

Hi David, from another Southerner -- this one based in Cape Town, so warm greetings on this beautiful winter's afternoon!

Thank you for posting such thought-provoking questions. As a relative LF...

Anton this is a really interesting-sounding project! I'd be curious to see pics of how it's going.

I've been having vague thoughts about building an 8x10 at some stage -- since I live just down...

One important 'evil point' about Flash is that, by taking rendering away from the browser, it badly harms the accessibility of sites to people with restricted vision. No easy changes of typeface...

I find that really interesting - also, am delighted that there's someone else here from my town. Presumably you're the other os ORMS' LF film buyers ;-)

I just got 5 boxes of it from B&H, so AFAIK their "In Stock" is real.

Well on the home and family side, I've learned how wonderfully encouraging and supportive my partner is of my idiosyncratic and expensive hobbies :-)

Because of course THOSE companies don't have employees who need their jobs either...

Sorry but Kodak can't be bothered to distribute film in my country AT ALL any more, so the tiny number of...

Take photographs with it :)

Hi Kav,

I'm pretty sure you'd be able to find B&W necessities in Nairobi or Dar es Salaam. But of course knowing where might be the hard part.

If you make it to the bottom end of the...

mdm: Thery do indeed still have the concerts - a really great way to spend a summer Sunday evening :)

Leigh and Vaughn: Thank you for the input. That's an interesting crop, Vaughn. Quite...

I have tried an alternate crop of the image I posted above. I think I prefer it without the burned-out sky, but would appreciate other perspectives.

I still seem to have a tendency to overexpose colour reversal film a little.

I'd appreciate any comments /...
