So very true!

I wasn't aware of those issues. I do believe they will make sleeves to order if the quantity is large enough—might be a multiple lifetime supply though...

If you are looking for large negative sleeves, Climax Photo has polypropylene sleeves up to 11x14. https://www.climaxphoto.net/sheet_film.html

They also have them in less common sizes such as...

Sally Mann and The Angel of Uncertainty—

Have you seen Sally Mann's landscapes? I dare say they exhibit some imperfections, and for me are some of the most evocative landscape photographs I've ever seen. Others may disagree...

I'll jump in. I have been using FP-4in Pyrocat since Sandy King came up with the formula way back in the last century. I rate FP-4 at 100 and develop 1:1:100 for about 9 minutes at 72F in BTZS tubes....

Well, that explains everything! (almost)

More coffee first thing in the morning please...

Thanks Oren, I wasn't familiar with her either. I appreciate her less studied, somewhat informal approach with what I believe is an 8x10 camera.

And they have large wheels which makes them easy to push, and they handle rough terrain better than golf carts which are also popular, but tend to have small wheels.

What about using a 16x20 box and building a spacer so the prints don't move around? A hollow square tube should be easy to make.

Thanks Peter!

O'Hare Airport

Nicely done Andrew! Seems like an interesting device.

I just had the opposite occur. I was out yesterday photographing with my 4x5 Chamonix in an industrial area near a fright train yard, and a 20ish man was paying attention to what I was doing, but...

I had no idea polarizing filters were invented in 1928 by Edwin Land who, of course, started Polaroid. They are much older than I assumed.

I've built several sinks and always used about 1/4 inch per foot slope with the drain in the lowest corner. They worked fine.

I'm with Peter. While I understand the impulse to make so called "Pure" photographs, but I don't subscribe to the myth of the pure landscape and personally feel this is a genre that has been done to...

Jimmy Schipper Bjaaland was the former Service and Production Manager at Hasselblad. He obtained all the parts that Hasselblad had when they discontinued support for the Imacon scanners. We'll be ok...

You might try contacting B23 in Copenhagen. He knows everything about these scanners and can supply parts and do repairs. I bought a new motherboard for my Precision III and he was most helpful.

Peter you and your hawk seem to have had similar plumage!

Have you read Helen Macdonald's 'H Is for Hawk'? I highly recommend it. It's about much more than raptors—life, death and other easy...

Indeed! I was cleaning out a cabinet in my parents apartment shortly after they had died and found about a dozen loose negative that my father had taken of my mother before they were married. They...

You could be correct. If they were mine, I would would go the archival storage route as it would be the best possible solution. It can't hurt and maybe it would help even a little. It might also be...

I’ve been thrown out of parking garages while using hand-held cameras so I don’t think tripods will be automatically welcome. I would talk to whoever is in charge of the space you want to photograph...
