Dallas / Fort Worth LF Gathering

A few minutes behind a 7x17 or 12x20 will spoil you forever. 4x5 no longer looks like large format.

[J.B. Harlin]

Anyone interested in seeing some large negatives? I have some 8x10 test film I can bring. I have two sheets, both of the same subject, one processed in HC110, the other in PyroCat HD for comparison, if anyone is interested.

[William McEwen]

I'd like to see that...

Do you have prints from each of the negs, too? That'd be something fun to peep at.

Jeremy and William will you be attending the get together?

Count me in. I will be sharing a ride with Janice.

Bringing a Canham JMC57 with a 4x5 reducing back as well as a Toyo/Omega 45E monorail for Janice to try.

I have never proofed these negatives. . . at least I can't find any. Most of this test film I toss, for some reason these are in a box that I had forgotten. They are old since they are on Tri-X, haven't use it in years now. If I get time I will proof these 8x10's.

I do have a series of test 4x5 negatives, processed in MaxPyro, PyroCat HD, and PMK that I can bring. These are all proofed and filed in a notebook.

Hi, Dr. Singer:

Undecided. Last time I went to one of these, I brought my Rolleiflex and photographed you, one picture after another, until you got sick of it and commented negatively on "these people shooters."



I won't be bringing my 8x10 because I use it for private, intimate one-on-one portrait sessions, and that won't fit in with the group fun and camaraderie of this event.

But if there's a contest of some sort, and grand prize is one of the medium format photos you shot of the missus while cross country skiing, I'll be the first one there.

[Gem Singer]

William,

I interpret "undecided" to mean you will be there if your wife lets you out of the house on a Sat. morning.

Yes, this is primarily a get together for large format users, and yes, I did use a Rollei TLR for 25 years (until I finally got fed up with those little square negatives).

However, you are welcome to bring your Rollei and shoot people pictures, but also bring your 8x10, and we'll have an intimate moment.

[Gem Singer]

Hey William,

I sent you a message regarding transportation arrangements for the 21st.

Check your PM's.

[William McEwen]

Hi, Dr. Singer -- will do.
