Thank you for reminding us of him. I have a small monograph published by Lodima Press.

I use the 3005 which is designed for 8 x 10 or 5 x 7. The 5 x 12 film sticks out but there is room under the top. It all works fine with conventional film but with x-ray, I use at least a 5 minute...

What a beautiful book and tribute to your father.

Bravo!

There was also platinum paper commercially made and I believe by 1900, there was silver gelatin.

Adox keeps promising a replacement but have yet to see it out and on the shelves. Very nice print by the way.

They are not hard to make. Find the right thickness of plywood or MDF. It is about 3/8" . Cut a rebate or rabbet at one end, drill a hole the right size and there you are.

What I have is a Wollensak 8 1/4" (210mm_ Graphic Raptar which has 385mm, the Nikkor 300M and a Red Dot Artar 19". I also have a 61/4" Hugo Meyer Wide Angle which seems to almost cover but I have...

Yes, a small connection with our mutual connection with Clyde McConnell, your prof and my friend.

Southern Alberta which is not a state but province. Everyone thinks only of Banff but there is much much more.
1. Foothills - tough to photograph as they are more subtle than the mountains but...

I have had mine for years. Bought from a friend for $50. Removed the war of the worlds top and put on a cold light. Later got a 6 x 9 Aristo light which covers 5 x 7 nicely. I made an adapter...

They are a great outfit. I have holders made by them for my ersatz 5 x 12 Seneca. Seneca did not make this format. I used the hardware from a 5 x 7 and copied the same design. I have no doubt the...

Tillman's is a Canham. I am wondering if he is still using it as he seems to be moving into very large platinum prints which indicates he is using digital.

199401 Here is a night shot from Calgary. It is of the new Calgary Central Library which has received much attention for its design. Taken with my homemade 5 x 12, 300mm Nikkor M, HP5 film in...

Thank you Merg. We have a very good international airport and lots of car rentals.

You may also want to spend some time near the Columbia Icefields. Good views from the visitor center which is across the highway from the icefields.

Boards are easy to make. Find a suitable thickness of baltic birch plywood, cut a rebate, drill a hole and there you are.

It is quite exciting to see new products in analog photography. "Ain't ded yet!"

Agreed. For the handful of lucky ones who find an audience there are a multitude who will remain unknown although their work may be exemplary. However, I still need to go out there and make images...

The short answer is yes. I have had this happen several times with different batches. Recently I developed some Efke which worked, although a little thin and then was testing some 5 x12 HP5 within...

If you are in the Monterey area do not overlook the Pinnacles which are an hour inland ( west gate). It is landscape that looks as if Dr. Seuss designed it. There are some very nice hiking trails. ...

I stand corrected.

I had a Weston III serviced by them and they did a great job. However, I believe that replacement batteries for the Weston are no longer available. Apparently they are only good for 30 years. No...

A couple of times I had the delightful experience of encountering a subject covered by someone well known. On both occasions , I also made an image with no intention of sharing it but enjoying the...

Accounted for.

It is a wonderful image regardless of the source. I just recently did some there as well, using a hand held Agfa Record III. I love large format but these cameras are wonderful to use where the...

Hello. You can also purchase x-ray film in 5 x 12" size which is identical to the normal film size. It is used for dental x-rays.

Congratulations on a beautiful project. Look forward to the images.

I have to correct myself as the article says about relocating. It is interesting about Ansel prints as Scott was vague as to where they came from

Hello Merg. I was just there and the exhibition is called the Last Picture Show but according to Scott, he is not closing but relocating to Sonoma Square. I recommend anyone in the area to go and...

I have a "rare" Toyo 5 x 7 which has a hood.

I am surprised that almost no one mentioned Brett Weston. He was a singular voice and I enjoy his work very much. I tend to agree that much conceptual stuff is the "Emperor has no clothes!". The...

Very nice. Winter is a great time for getting out. I am in Southern Alberta if it is not blowing, snowing or -20C, the light is great all day! Was just out yesterday, awesome light.

The Jobo 3005 drum also works. Yes the film sticks out but does not seem to pose a problem. I found you need to presoak X-ray film at least 5 minutes to ensure solution gets on both sides. I found...

I have my copy and it is truly lovely. It was also wonderful to speak with Merg.

Hello Tim. 5 x 12 is alive and well. As Jim mentioned there is 5 x12 dental x-ray film also available which is very inexpensive. Chamonix also will build 5 x 12. I had them make my film holders...

I have had similar issues and it has shaken my confidence in this developer. When it works, it is brilliant but it very upsetting when you lose negatives that are important.

Here is one from last fall. This is called Gleason Hill in the Sheep River Provincial Park near Calgary. The camera is a 5 x 7 Toyo View with a 420mm Repro-Claron, #23 filter. Tri-X 320...

There are a number of bellows manufacturers. Custom Bellows in the UK are very good. You can find GG on Ebay or hell, I have one kicking around in my cabinet. You can get Deardorff springs from...

OK, the book just turned up. It is very well done.
