Indeed. To each his/her own. And I'll post example shots of the Fuji L 300 asap.

Many years back while still in the home town (New Orleans) I bought a beautiful black ebony Everette studio upright while self teaching myself to...

Michael What are using for adhesive felt I need some more, very handy to have on hand

PM means Private Message Look that up in your forum settings And set it up

Love this!

I've pretty much settled on FP4 over the last few years (used to be partial to Ansco 100 but that's ancient history...) It's fast enough for most...

I've have got to where the only film I regularly use for all formats is FP4+. It's easy to work with, predictable, and consistent in processing. I...

I love that.

Good photo, Randy!

Just finished gluing the four layers of the 8x20 reducing back. Testing for fit on the camera. The white, unpainted "runners" inside the film...

There are so few films available in sheets that there really is no reason not to try all of them and figure out for yourself which you like best. ...

very nice one ! - pity we can't appreciate a somewhat bigger scan

On this forum, I think we're all developing our own patinas...

Goes back to that comment about using a 480mm f4.5 Xenar for head-shoulder portraits. Using a 480mm on 8x10 gives enough space between sitter to...

Fog from "flopping around" when developing fiber-based paper in a Jobo drum isn't an issue. That process was well documented. Rather, the challenge...

If the paper is floppy around to a certain extent, due to being softened, what constitutes its front versus the back is somewhat unpredictable. Who...

Good Covid focal length, I guess. And portrait FL preferences vary quite a lot. I couldn't go longer than 360, but some people like 420, 500 and...

I wonder, too, but the leg section length was capped at ~32 inches, so flex must become a factor at around 40 inches (my guess).

It is possible lack of adequate flow behind the paper might cause problems such as stains, but not overall emulsion fog unless, for example, one is...

These days Anne Larsen often does that part. The cool part is that they do two sheets at a time like this. The two sheets are back to back...

The fog applies equally to print borders and highlights? Are you doing washing in the tank, or in a washer? This information is not in the original...
