I haven't seen anyone do Jobo. They're a German company, right? I'm sure everyone I've met says it wrong...

Endorsed by Weegee! I'm sold! LOL

I have a Linhoff Technika branded 90mm f/8. It's a nice lens, plenty sharp. I also have a Linhoff Technika branded 210mm f/5,6 convertible Symmar, which is nice as well, though a bit less "modern"...

I've seen several commercial dark cloths that fit snugly around the rear of the camera, using elastic or drawstrings or other such thing. Some have snaps or velcro to attach firmly as well. I've seen...

A larger photo of the top would be needed, too. I honestly can't read values on it at the size it is.

Post a clear detailed photo of the underside of the pcb showing the tracks, and I may be able to trace out a schematic. Missing values can possibly be inferred or calculated based on the surrounding...

I haven't had experience with the large Canons, but I definitely concur with the common complaint about the Epsons clogging up if they sit for more than a week. I have a small Canon at home and it...

Another satisfied Affinity user here! Totally replaces PS for trifling things like retouching. I do my retouching on a separate layer, always.
Can export to PS files as well, if you're in a...

Bookmark'd, thank you

This reminds me of the few years I lived in Chicago in the mid-late 90's, while I was attending Columbia College for audio recording (never finished there, but ended up with BA in "Music Technology &...

Eadweard Muybridge -> Etienne-Jules Marey -> Marcel Duchamp (Kazimir Malevich)
Henri Cartier-Bresson -> Alexander Rodchenko -> William Eggleston

I've been trying to get decent results with Bancro 400 for a few years now. Tried a few rolls of 120 and hated it. Tried some 4x5 sheet and hated it too. Had used Rodinal every time. I do NOT...

I agree. I recently dumped all my Adobe apps in favor of the Affinity suite and DXO PhotoLab. Affinity handles all the "painterly" editing, compositing, adjusting, collaging, chopping, mutilating,...

Sliding box tailboard camera seems like the simplest practical thing.
Those Afghan cameras are big, but they're only taking small photos with it. The ones I saw they were doing like Brownie size...

Mine didn't have this. I wonder, was it purchased directly from Stearman Press, or through a retailer like Freestyle? Maybe they put it a sticker on the ones sold through other vendors? I bought mine...

This is also sold in smaller bottles just called "Lamp Oil".

Have you tried denatured alcohol? It usually works well for sticker glue. Acetone as well, though I wouldn't use it on plastic, because it could damage it.

I really like the use of magnets

I love shooting this way!

This is why I switched to macro+DSLR scanning ;)

I'm old enough that my first camera was a Kodak Disc, when I was in kindergarten.

Fomapan 100, Cambo SC with Schneider Symmar 210mm f/5,6. Imacon Scanned

If you want to get your toes wet without a big investment, there's always the sun. Works great for salt prints and cyanotypes.

Camera-less!

4x5 Arista litho film. Held the film holder against the wall where the light pattern was hitting it, opened the dark slide and then quickly shut it. Imacon scanned and then...

That seems really expensive. You'd probably need to get the 5M length to get good coverage in a light box; even more if the box were big. I prefer this:...

Exactly, this is how it should be.

Ugh, this is exactly the kind I said would leave wood splinters all over the glass and wear out much quicker than every other kind. I can't believe Formulary chose this design.
OMG, the Bostick &...

Digging the composition on this one

I've shot enough good photos that made it into serious prints with the "Leica" in my Huawei Mate 9 Pro phone to consider it a legitimate part of my regular kit. "The best camera is the one you have...

Good to know some acrylic does work.

Very pleasant surprise indeed. I went to the fabric store and found something that seems perfect. It's a fake leather "pleather" fabric made of polyester and spandex. It's very thin, slightly...

Pretty common to see old ones with broken glass; can be a good way to get one for cheap. Just be sure it's not totally worn out.
Replacing the glass is as easy as replacing the glass in any cheap...

If you can find one, metal contact frames are preferable to wood, in my experience. If you do use wood, be sure it is the kind where the springs are held tight by sliding under metal washers, at...

Received the swatches today. It appears the flocked black "Laval" doesn't block light very well at all. It does better than the other bookcloths, but the others are positively porous. So, that seems...

Hi, I watched your carbon transfer video. Very good! I still need to try that technique, it's on the list...

Yupo is interesting stuff. Thin plastic sheets with a slight bit of texture for painting on. It's popular for people to do psychedelic abstract paintings with alcohol ink on it. I experimented with...

I see your point about the flocking potentially wearing off, but I'm still curious about this particular fabric, since it's intended for high-wearing exterior use. I'll make an effort to test its...

Oh yeah, and the FSA stuff...always teach that, too. I hope everyone here is aware that most famous "Migrant Mother" shot by Dorothea Lange is almost completely fake. By "fake," I mean that the...

Apart from being known as an early success in activist art, he pioneered the use of flash.
Always bring him up in lectures when I'd teach. He's an historical touchstone for sure. But also, it brings...

My story for this: after getting neck-deep in film and large format photography, regular ol' digital DSLR shooting gets pretty boring. To have some fun, I decided, OK, going to use only this one...
