I am officially ULF guy!

[SAShruby]

Hi ULF'ers,

I am officially one of you. I AM ULF!!!

To my little sonny, 8x10 Deardorff, the big brother arrived. My 8x20 Deardorff flew from Austria to my house (Welland, Canada) yesterday. What a BEAUTY!!! I am in love... My dream came through.

It is different. I already pre-orderred 8x20 Lodima AZO from Michael and Paula, I have older Fuji Fujinon 360mm, tested it, it will cover it. All I need is to order Sandy's holders and film from J&C and I am rolling.

p.s. I will post pictures Thursday.

Question...Does Ilford make 8x20 FP4 or HP5?

[John Kasaian]

J and C stocks it.

You can get Ilford HP5 and FP4 from JandC as well as Tmx 400 in 8x20.... welcome to the club bubba, I hope you got a big wallet...

I went take a look on J&C and There is JanC 200 and ADOX as well...Is Adox Efke brand? It's way cheaper than FP4. I might take couple boxes of Adox then. Anyway, I do brush technique, so there should not be any problem with emulsion.

Please post your opinion which one.

I have not used either so I am only going by rumors, but if you plan to use Azo I dont think JandC 200 is a good choice, it does not build enough density. I have heard good things about Efke, so you might want to try it. I am sure those who have used Efke will let you know how they like it.

Actually not too much Jorge. Herwig Prammer, the guy he sold me camera, works for company they have affiliation in Canada. It was only hudred bucks. Not bad for BIG HEAVY BEAST!!! My beast!!! Yeaah.

I know, I have three boxes of JandC Pro 100 and I tried Pyrocat-HD. Negative came thin and when I printed on AZO Grade2 (the only one I have) It came out very contrasty. No luck so far to get something reasonable out of these negatives. Even more, I tried some low light shots and reciprocity is huge. My lightmeter indicated 2 min. exposure at f22, I ended up shooting 1Hour 15 minutes to get resonable negative. Reciprocity factor is 5.25.

For fun you might try APHS in spent paper developer. Anyway, its cheap! If fact its probably the only thing associated with ULF that I'd even suggest as being called "cheap"

You can also get 9-1/2" aerial film and cut it down to fit in your holders. Nice stuff actually!
