I don't recall anything about violent agitation in the manual - they give a procedure which is to hold the 445 upright in both hands, tilt it slightly to the left, rotate it away from you with the...

Thanks for your kind words, MFS. Yes, I used an IR720 filter and metered at 25 ISO, only a four-stop compensation - I find that the 12 ISO/five-stop that some folks use blows out the highlights in...

Paul - to emphasize what Leszek said about the lights changing. I saw them in Yellowknife early this year, and you cannot overestimate how quickly they change. I was sitting in my vehicle at -40C,...

Although the major point is resolved, a note for hooligans, dilettantes and novices. I had a Yashica TLR with a sticky shutter, which was otherwise beyond economical repair, where I had exactly the...

A classic beginner's 4x5 mistake - a double exposure, taken months apart. I quite like it anyway.

I can buy 'fat' popsicle sticks from the crafting aisle of one or other dollar store which are 1/16th-ish" thick, 0.7" wide (doesn't measure out to a neat fraction) and 5 7/8" long. Checking a couple...

Yes, I’m fact I was there again this weekend and there’s now a sign requesting no photos, no drones and no video, so this will be my last image of the house.

A completely uneducated guess: 5x7 times two would be 10x14, plus a half-inch border = 11x15.

Thank you both for your quick answers on this!

(This is mainly for fun.)

So, I bought a Nikkor-W 135mm f5.6 in a nice clean Copal #0 shutter at a swap meet. I didn't realize until I got home that the aperture markings are F9-F90, clearly...

Thank you all for your insight. Bob's obvious-in-retrospect point that the iris scales are removable rather unlocked the whole subject for me.

I acquired a Nikkor-W 135mm f5.6 at a swap meet, and realized when I got home that it's in a Copal #0 f9-f64 shutter. Online research (okay, eB*y pictures) suggest it belongs in an f5.6-f64 shutter,...

Thank you all for the input! As I suspected, there's a great deal more to this than I realized.

Idly wondering...

If I have a 4x5 negative, can I create a 4x5 positive transparency from it by simply laying it on another piece of 4x5 and exposing it with room light? Without iterating through...
