Hi Drew, Arca Swiss monorail camera. One lens is 305mm (12") and the other 365mm (14"). I don't mind detail, was just looking for a bit less...

Inside diameter is 49mm.

I shoot Arista 400 at 200 and get good results. I have also pushed their ISO 100 film to 400 and found the shadows didn't develop well, though the...

Hello Lachlan, There is at least one published research work from 60's which says "a low pH formulation, consisting only of pyrogallol, Phenidone,...

I'm jealous :) Have a great trip!

Back in the 1990's special orders for sheet film such as Super XX and Tri X from Kodak were not uncommon but the minimum volume and prices were quite...

I do agree, it does look confusing. But as Peter says, it is interesting! A lot to look at.

Thank you all for your suggestions and tips, which are really helpful! I hope I can learn some Iceland history and culture, enjoy sightseeing, visit...

Thanks. It was certainly interesting. We don't get those over on this coast, as far as I'm aware. Actually, while I saw a ton of signs about...

Good, but your 180 is not and never was multi coated. Only the N series are MC.

I just examined my 80mm Apo Rodagon N side by side with my 180 Apo Rodagon and the reflections of the coatings appear to be the same. The same...

Last I heard, you could but it was a $30,000 minimum order.

There's nothing like a sneaker wave to teach you to bring along a bottle of distilled water and clean soft microfiber cloths when planning an ocean...

Yes, Keith Canham has....... for the benefit of LF photographers everywhere!

Thanks Bill. That one is probably also my favourite of the lot. Still one more B&W of this series to come. The rest are colour but need to be sent...

I like all of these, but this one in particular. Very nice.

The current clips are the swing away type. As it has been decades since the older type were made I doubt you can find them. But your gg will need to...

My MT is one of the early ones - sn6411143 and does not have clips. The fresnel sits after the GG (towards the lens). I believe you once told me I...

Not in the last 40 years.

Speaking of cropping, I envisioned this image 4:5 and it worked as intended. However I shot a color image as well and I will be eager to see once I...

Sandy, that's an interesting effect.

Thanks John for your thoughts. I was playing around with cropping but as you've alluded it seems like the full square works. I've made a few prints...

For roll film, I prefer using a glass AN top piece but the metal cutout for the bottom. Note: there are two De Vere negative holders, a thick one...
