Thanks all, ordering some chemicals now. Unique Photo does have pretty great prices, trying to figure out which Kodak chemicals I need...
@corran interesting, you're right it does seem like I can just order from Freestyle. Several places I looked online and one person I talked to at Sammy's Camera told me you can't get the bleach...
@corran thanks for the tip, sadly Freestyle is So Cal and the bleach in c-41 can’t be shipped :p
@angusparker thanks for the warning, I’m using a Jobo 2520 in a homemade water bath. I figure if I...
Yea called them both, they only have the small “quart size” kit which is good for “10-12 rolls” for $26. I’m looking to get something more in the gallon area :)
Hey all,
I’ve processed several sheets of B&W this last couple weeks and it is incredibly empowering (and cheap!) and I realized C-41 color processing would be fantastic so I called a couple...
Anybody know if a Schneider 110XL will fit in while folded, even w/a recessed board?
Thanks for the tip Oren, I was actually ignorant of dealing w/the infinity stops before you mentioned it, looking into it further a) I now realize I want to find some infinity stops and b) this'll be...
Can one not calibrate the infinity stops themselves?
Hey All,
I'm looking at buying a Linhof Technika V but don't have any lens/cams yet and would like to make sure the camera's rangefinder works correctly which would obviously require a lens and cam....
Hi,
I'm currently oogling the Wista 45RF as a rangefinder and want to use it loaded with a Grafmatic film holder. My question is is it still possible to look through and focus with the rangefinder...
Ah, inside image search looks really interesting. That'd be great if you can find those masks and if you could scan em all that be awesome, it's so hard to find the actual lenses and masks that I'm...
Pierre, where do you see it asking for $20?
Hoffner, I started to do that but then realized that 5'-10' away might look different in the RF than 20'-infinity and I don't have s good subject for...
That's the plan Pierre. I figure I can match up a 75mm scan/photo with one of my 55mm mask so they're the same circle size and print one out.
Yes! Where did you find that photo?! Man, I've spent an embarrassingly long time in Google trying to find one :)
Hi all,
I'm picking up a 75mm lens for my Horseman SW612 but it has no mask for the viewfinder, its been impossible for me to track one of these down (except maybe a store in China, maybe). I was...
Ah,
It must have been the cough medicine but I read the interaction between you, LA and Leigh incorrectly. I see now that the image circle is going to be a big problem, you're right, thats no good...
Awesome guys thanks for confirming it'll (mostly) just work!
Is there any problem w/using a Schneider 120mm Makro-Symmar for non-macro work, ie using it as a 'normal' LF lens?
Good idea Peter and thats a great looking pier, exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for, the long walking/fishing piers that go out into the ocean, especially w/lamps or chairs on em, Cayucos looks...
Hey All,
I live in the SF Bay Area and am looking to head out for a couple day adventure to photograph coastal towns, in particular piers and (street/building)lamps, anybody have good suggestions,...
The trip has been upgraded to a full 7 days now :) We were originally going to go to a chef's dinner on a farm near Seattle (as a gift to my wife) which was going to eat up 3 days of the trip but it...
Thanks for the link, those areas are the places we have access to, I don't think we're going to cover them all (in fact I'd like to focus on a small area) I'm just mentioning all the available...
My wife and I are thinking of heading up to NW Washington mid July and I was wondering if anybody had some suggestions on which area(s) are better this time of year or even if going in July is a good...
Comparing ASMP (a media creation group) to Apple or Google doesn't make sense. Of course ASMP is Pro-SOPA, I'd be surprised if they were against it, they represent people who create media that is...
I went to the 8x10 mountain a year ago after having shot 4x5 off and on and I ultimately went back to 4x5 (sold all the 8x10 gear) because the cost in money and time per shot wasn't worth it for my...
Blackjacket, thats the stuff I was looking at before, thanks. This is my 2nd tee shirt 'darkcloth' and its just not workin' out.
Hi,
I saw mention of a thin, light darkcloth here a while back and can't find it again, can anybody suggest a nice (thin & light) darkcloth for 4x5, 6x17 work? I'm using a tee shirt right now but...
If I were to get a Super Technika IV or Master Technika etc how do I make sure the rangefinder matches up with whatever lens is attached? Is the rangefinder adjustable for specific focal lengths or...
Ah frick Rol you jerk, temping me with what I cannot have (this year)!
Hah, are you suggesting there is no snow in Yosemite?
Edit: Crap, http://www.yosemiteconservancy.org/webcams/view-ahwahnee-meadow
I'm looking to head into Yosemite some weekend in February, which weekend would be best as far as snow, weather and possibly snowshowing? Also where are the best places to go for snow in the winter?...
Its too bad these companies became to big for their britches. If Kodak (or Polaroid) could have spun off their film business into a lean 50 person company it could probably survive. The analog...
Somehow I missed the existence of the grafmatic back :eek: OMG I want one, it'd pretty much make up for ready/quickloads going away. My question is will it work with a grafmatic holder? Toyo's site...
Thanks for all the feedback guys, in this particular case Pawlowski has it right, I'm not testing in order to create consistant results from development, I'm shooting the different flim so I can get...
Hi All,
I just ordered 2 rolls each of 5 different B&W 120 film to run through my 6x17 camera to get a feel for how each of the films look. For each of the pairs I plan on sending one to my local...
I just got my first photographs back and scanned in from my Shen Hao 617B and I noticed some lens flaring so now I'm looking for a hood :(
I'm looking at the Shen Hao 4x5 lens hood but I can't...
Dunno where this is at but x42...
Look into the Gitzo 500xG (Giant) series, they're 102' tall w/out a column.
http://www.gitzo.com/product/GT5561SGT
I finally got out to shoot w/my Shen Hao 617 and effing love it my only complaint is that when using my Schneider 80XL the bellows don't allow for as much movement as I sometimes want. Does somebody...
Speaking of the Gitzo Giant 5 series, I have a GT5560SGT with center column I've been angling to sell if anybody is interested... $1000? :)
