Agreed here Kirk. It is easy to photograph the pretty people that have made it a habit to pose for photographers aka "models". I photograph a...

I used a pendulum clinometer instead of those tiny levels. Better yet, align to a screen grid. But film doesn't necessarily fit dead square in a...

Another great portrait Tobias.

Along the lines of a DIY DSLR scanning setup, is there a viable DIY PMD scanner? Is PMD hardware fundamentally obsolete technology, and no...

It might be worth to look (various websites) as there are plenty of articulated arms that attach to a tripod and simultaneously supports the lens or...

Randy, Film is a tool, just as digital is. Properly done it is very difficult, without looking under very high magnification, to tell if you...

I think there's been a miscommunication somewhere along the line here - yes Karsh's negatives appear 'thin', but that's because the highlights are...

Bob Salomon, Please let me explain. I don't care if people use Inkjet and digital, in fact I use both all the time. Currently a Nikon D750 works...

Unlike most cameras with useless levels the Sinar p series are user adjustable that said adjusting them takes patience (gets easier with practice)...

Hi, although I found several articles mentioning the ›missing part‹, I could not find any information on how the part looks like or how it is...

Thanks Tony. Is it okay if I download these files and host them from my page? They should be okay now that they are on the LFPF server instead of...

Drew has a very good point there, I just weighed my Komura 400T which is fitted with a Copal 3 shutter. On my electronic kitchen scales it comes in...

I don’t argue that moot point. I just like magic. 😎

I was talking about images properly done with digital cameras and backs. You are naive if you refuse to acknowledge the quality that can be done...

Hi Drew, Thanks for the reply. Yes I think its easy to get over exited and want to strap the longest possible lens onto the camera not thinking...
