    Re: Cambo 4x5...how to know how wide you can go

    You would need the bag bellows for movements. I have one of these (or at least a version of) and use it with an 89mm lens in the configuration you have here with bag bellows. You can get quite a bit...

    Re: lateral arm for gitzo tripod?

    Have you considered getting a board for the artwork and tilting it somewhat so that you could have the camera to one side rather than directly overhead? Should be possible to do without the tilt...

    Re: 4x5 Tripod Question!

    When you say the screw is loose/not catching, could it be that the screw is simply the wrong size, or do you think it is the right size but damaged (screw or thread in the rail clamp)? It's just that...
  4. Re: Scanning artefacts when including negative borders on Epson V850 Pro

    This is quite a well-known problem with all of the V-series Epson scanners (and probably lots of others too). I believe the light bands are essentially reflections of the bright film base at the edge...

    Re: Light leak - driving me mad for weeks

    Great to hear you have solved the problem. Probably best to keep developing in subdued light though, just in case.

    Re: Light leak - driving me mad for weeks

    It does seem very likely from your results that your problems have been caused by light leaks in the tanks during processing. I can't agree with esearing that the tab marks have nothing to do with...

    Re: Light leak - driving me mad for weeks

    Some of the marks at the right edge seem to conform to shadows that would be cast from the tabs on the Stearman Press holders. There are different versions of the holders though - have you checked to...

    Re: Why are all of my photos soft?

    Yes the film looks quite a bit nicer than the digital shot. A lot more refined. It will blow up to a large print a lot better IMO. The challenge will be to maintain this quality across the whole neg...

    Re: Troubleshooting enlarger won’t focus

    To make a 5x4" print, the lens would need to be 500mm away from the film, and the baseboard 500mm from the lens (approximately). If they want to make even smaller prints than this, then the lens...

    Re: Why are all of my photos soft?

    I wouldn't assume there's something wrong with it. It looks very similar to the output from a number of Epsons I've used. The V700/750/800/850s are a bit better than this but not hugely. None of them...

    Re: Back to basics - newbie developing help

    The vertical window-like stripes strongly suggest that the negs are being exposed to extraneous light whilst loaded onto the developing reel. If you are using the Jobo 2509 or similar, the spacing of...

    Re: Why are all of my photos soft?

    I'm pretty sure that at least some of the softness comes down to the scanned image as presented. It isn't picking up any sense of the grain. You may be able to do a bit better with the scanner, by...
