This is correct. If you selenium tone, use the Adostab as the final bath after that, the last step before you hang up the prints to dry.
EDIT: Sorry, realized that the above is incomplete and...
Can't generalize about the brands. Both are pretty decent already, and every generation of their respective inksets makes incremental progress in this respect. Also, longevity is a function of...
In vBulletin terminology, "guests" are viewers who are not logged in. You cannot log in unless you are a member, as otherwise you don't have login credentials.

If you're looking at a 24" Canon, then compare the ink costs with a 24" Epson. Those, too, use larger cartridges with lower per-ml cost compared to the smaller desktop models.
The difference between the lenses is coverage: 211 mm at infinity focus and f/22 for the SS HM, 179 mm for the Apo-Symmar.
As for price, kindly check eBay listings for actually-sold items before...
Those both come mounted in #3 shutters. If a listing seems to indicate otherwise, it is an error.
Len - no worries! I have a 7x17 Korona and a 12x20 F&S. Whatever they're called, and even with their limitations compared to current models, they're wonderful cameras.
I have a pair of G1370M heads that have become so tight as to be almost unusable. Some months back I contacted CRIS, the authorized Gitzo service agent, and they said to send them for evaluation. I...
Among the Korona models, the 5x12, 7x17 and 8x20 were branded "Panoramic View" and the 12x20 was branded "Banquet Camera". There weren't multiple models with different features within each format.

If you don't want to mix your own, there are Xtol "clones" from other vendors - search for ascorbic acid developers.
Fair enough! Given your needs the Chamonix certainly is worth a close look. I'll have to defer to others who have experience with Richard Ritter's cameras to comment on those.
Off the top of my head, the other options that can currently be purchased new are Canham, Shen Hao and (I think, though one doesn't hear much about them these days) Lotus. The obvious older options...
That basic specification is not unique, but there's still room to deliver a variation on the theme that offers distinctive value. For example, as I just mentioned, weight is one area where a product...
Bob, once you've added a lens and inserted a film holder, the Wista 45RF weighs more than 7 pounds. A Master Technika with grip and multifocus finder is even heavier, and even bare-bones without the...
It is fundamentally a UK site, but for the shop part of it they evidently have some code that detects where the browser is coming from and displays the regionally-appropriate options. It would be...
For those who aren't aware: consumers in the US can get Ilford products directly from the US distributor, Roberts, through the ilfordphoto.com website. The website shows clearly which items are in...
Threads merged. Since this seems to be an ongoing thing, might as well gather all of the reports in one place. Can we please try to keep it to factual reports about things we've seen in our...
It was discontinued long ago.
Not off the shelf, but Keith Canham has been periodically organizing special orders for Kodak color film in 5x7 as well as other sizes.

In reality, some people unrealistically do it. :)
Seriously, there's a larger point to make here. Don't get carried away splitting hairs about small differences in coverage specs between...
Not quite. The specs aren't directly comparable. The image circle numbers specified by Nikon seem at first glance to be the same for the two lenses - 154 mm for open aperture and 235 mm stopped...
Try Fotoimpex. Although they are showing 16x20 Adox CHS 100II as out of stock right now, Adox may be able to cut to order relatively quickly and for a smaller minimum order compared to Ilford.

Fair enough - a good, reality-based answer. :) Actually, we see this clearly with the combination of cutting-edge lens designs and the latest high-resolution digital cameras, where the effects of...
Jason - leaving aside alignment defects and the possibilities opened by aspherical designs, are there any lenses with traditional spherical-section elements that have field curvature patterns that...
The one time I had a frozen cell that I needed to remove, it took a fair bit of fussing with a rubber strap wrench to get it off.
We had a thread on the Coloramas, with a bit of insight and a lot of noise:

I had the same reaction as Neil. Hard to imagine the mechanics of processing a sheet or roll of paper large enough to accommodate a 30x enlargement from 8x10. Not arguing that it didn't happen -...

Specified range is 8x-30x with optimum at 20x.
KEH uses generic product pictures, not photographs of the actual item being sold. So you can't tell about minor within-model variations like the strap lugs by looking at their posted illustrations.
Yes, it is, but the page has been saved in the Wayback Machine (be patient, it loads slowly):

Yes, you can focus on the ground glass as with other view cameras.
Here's a link to the instruction manual, which covers Technika versions both with and without the rangefinder:

I think the 5x7 back for the Chamonix H cameras is horizontal-only.
I *think* that the TFC57-A is horizontal-only and the -B has a reversing back, but I'm not sure of that. The pictures of the TFC57-A on the Shen-Hao website sure look horizontal-only:

Not quite a million, but close enough. :)

Do your environmental portraits often have substantial out-of-focus areas, either in front of or behind the main subject or both, and does the rendering of those areas and of the transition from...
Not yet. Will post when mine arrives.
Just a heads-up, since I see you're using older hardware. I believe v8 is 64-bit only, but v7 is also still available for download in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions:
