Hi Everyone, I realize that this is a bit round about, and could be seen as circumventing rules (which is not my intention), but there is a serious question here tat I imagine a lot of us could be...

I worry about shipping outside the USA because, if there is some sort of charge-back or other issue arises, paypal takes the money and the seller is left with the loss, and zero recourse to get it...

Okay, so I thought I understood, but am now confused.
The 210mm Rodenstock APO-Sironar-N and the 210mm Caltar II-N as well as the 210mm Sinar Sinaron-S are all Identical lenses. (mentioned here and...

I have one of the Sinarsix/Gossen meters w/ the cassettes-- I have also seen the cassettes on various used online places for next to nothing. Failing that, I can send you a picture of how mine locks...

Not sure if this has been mentioned before (reading 6 pages of ebay-hate this early will only angry up the blood), but different countries have different categories. As much as it pains me to see 70%...

Thanks! If only i knew how to read, I would have seen that earlier. :-)
do you feel that the bleached parts of the negative are significantly sharper? They appear so on the scans, but that could be...

out of curiosity, Do you have any scans of the pre-post bleach difference?

http://www.largeformatphotography.info/scan-comparison/

that site has lots of good comparisons of various scanners.

I never made a print from it, but i did scan a 35mm slide with the maximum...

One point to John Kasaian:

until recently, there were extreme limitations of how big you could print due to available papers. One of the reason why Jeff Wall's work always consisted of multiple...

That does make more sense that the plate would be light sensitive as well.
The question remains though; has anybody used lithographic film to make a lithographic plate? I ask, because i may be...

I worked with a photographer who would make 40x60" prints from 35mm slides and B&W. He (well, his printer) would first make a 4x5 interneg and, using that, make either a print or another, larger...

Short answer is yes.
But it is worth noting that many of current photographers creating really, really big prints (40"x60" and above)--especially the German "Neo-Modernists" such as Gursky, Struth,...

I'm in agreement, i have gotten them for much cheaper. The one downside I have found is that sometimes the plastic gears tend to lose their teeth, and the nob for adjusting has to be shimmed (it only...

Hello Jerry,

I may well be producing lots of junk negatives in the coming weeks; if they come out, I will let you know! :-)

either way, It looks like I'm just a fraud :-P
At least in color....

It was my understanding that those night-vision goggles only work by amplifying available light; so if your darkroom is actually 100% dark, then shouldn't they not have any affect?

So, maybe I've just missed a trick somewhere along the way, but I was wondering if anybody is using some sort of lithographic film in order to make... you know... lithographs?
I've been googling,...

Also not in your area, but I've had "good luck" with Dale's photo lab in Hollywood, Florida.
Every time something has been screwed up, they have offered a full refund in credit. To be fair, All of...

I don't care how many people use the term deadpan--Bob Newhart and Steven Wright Will Always be funny. :-)

in a more series note (not serious enough that I've read the entire thread though... I...

For a while i was wondering if I was going to have to apologize for starting such a controversial thread :-)

Either way, I think in the days where nearly the entire spectrum of photography is...

Just as easy as it would be to make an unrepairable mistake during the wet-plate process :-)

Although in seriousness, it is also important to consider the early market for lenses as well....

I would agree--my knowledge of photographic history is much stronger than my knowledge of photographic practice :-)
In terms of history, the monkey-wrench would be pictoralism. Prior to that, it...

I've read through the Luminous Landscape article now; but I think the question still remains for "real-world" situations.
The article shows that the shape of the iris matters, but not how much in...

I've seen lots of people advertising that a larger number of <EDIT> Aperture </EDIT> blades means a more pleasing blur in depth of field.

Then it struck me: the smaller depth of field means, of...

While we are on the subject of lens-maladies, has anybody ever shot with a supremely "damaged" lens?
I am far from an expert at this stage, but I have never been able to spot any of my lens issues...

Yeah, he has "a well sustained market presence"-- his huge prints are editions of 3 or 5 usually--and thus sell for 6 figures
but he makes loads of other editions. I think the theatre series came in...

No, it was the editions of 1,000 that made his work too commercial :p

I think we're reaching the point of sillyness with the list (and don't get my started on the wikipedia one...); for anyone to...

yeah, it did sound a bit conspiracy driven :-)
I more so meant to highlight how hard it is "make it big" as it were, and so long as someone along the line has racial/gender preferences (which...

seems a very 20th century, mostly american-centric list; what about Roger Fenton, Charles and Lady Eastlake, or of course Those William Henry Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre.

To the first point:
Yes, people of different gender, race, etc have different visions of the world... so do people of the same gender, race and background. I always felt that to claim that one...

He teaches at Yale with Tod Pappageorge, so I am guessing they are helping flip his bills these days. I saw a recent show of his recently, and his works seem bigger now than from a couple of years...

edit: Wrong thread... i should learn to read better. But in the mean time. I will blame my mouse.

Although, there is an artist, Mark Lewis is his name I think, he built a giant...

It is a bit of a misnomer as well, since a lot of the colour contemporary photographers get shifted "up" to the Contemporary art sales, especially in London (wherein I believe Gursky's 99 cents is...

I think it is a bit of a misnomer actually--Greogory Crewdson, Jeff Wall and Andreas Gursky all use large format (and larger budgets), and (gursky aside) aren't really doing landscapes in the...
