Thank you!

I might be a dumbass, a moron or just plain stupid, but could somebody explain to me why on earth a so well known and widely used emulsion, (still-)...

Are these straight-sided tubing in the film section, or do they barrel/bulge like on the actual 3004/3005/3006/3010 tanks?

The blending of the freckles and film grain is absolutely terrific!

Some interesting memories brought up by this thread. A pal of mine bought the first Sierra Designs "no rainfly need" tent. He got soaked inside it...

I remember when portfolio boxes of ten small (8X10) AA prints sold for only $40 apiece in Best Studio in Yosemite Valley. Best was his father in...

Pretty camera for sure! Love the dark colored wood too.

Yeah it is too big of a lens really. It is a lens you don't carry far from the car. I need a bigger tripod for it too. I shoot my Pentax 6x7 with...

I am working on 3d printing ULF film development tanks compatible with Jobo Expert tanks lids and CPP2 or CPP3 processors. They are so long I have to...

Not for Diane Arbus. I may not remember all the numbers correctly, but around 1970, she started a limited edition portfolio of 10 16x20" prints. The...

Those big gray pebbles at the base of the Yaquina Head (I guess you could call it a beach of sorts), Newport, OR. Kodak Tmax 400 @ 200 ASA,...

Maybe touch base with Fred Newman of the View Camera Store. He was (maybe, still is) heavily involved with BTZS testing procedures.

I lugged a Pentax 67 around for a few years, but still, I can hardly imagine what the heft of it must be with the 600mm. Hats off for using it well.

Such an interesting portrait!

I have a Clyde Butcher original, an 8x10 print. The image was shot in the 90s if I remember correctly. Mine is print "5/150" which in my mind showed...

I currently use a Synology NAS for much of my storage. I don't have backups setup yet but by using the NAS I do get protection in case one drive...

I like the habits of many of the old glass plate negative folks. Try to figure out how many of an image would sell, print them, then scrap off the...

Alan - many photo exhibitions involve personally made darkroom prints, which by nature are of limited quantity. Ethical sources, like the AA trust,...

I know of at least a couple of cloud services that ended, albeit with a warning that they were going to. And Adobe is wont to change their pricing...

From what I know and have been told, each size print is a different edition. And collectors prefer editions of 5-10 prints. Usually the value of a...

Typically the price of a print is based on the edition and size - an edition of 20, 40 100 as an example. - depending on the artist you might have...

I generally recommend a three tiered system for critical backups. First is for regular access and for this ssds are most suitable as they have the...

Nice! Not very common.

I went with the Intrepid 4x5 enlarger. It has built in filters for color and contrast and can be used to illuminate scans. Very light and versatile....

Been there, done that too. The problem is that the far end of the opening in the darkslide is prone to snagging on the film holder light shielding...
