The meet was fantastic. Thank you Ty and Tina for hosting this event. Seeing JB and Susan Harlan's photographs alone would have been worth the trip. The opportunity to see the craftsmanship in Both...

Ready, received the instructions (Thank you Michael) and will see you folks on Saturday if the GPS steers me in the right direction for a change. The only fear is the heat. 105 or so is way more heat...

Hello Ty:

If I was emailed directions, I no longer have them.

Thanks for asking before I had to.

Sorry J.B., I should not have complained about the weather, I know you are experiencing record highs right now. So if I cannot bring cool weather, is there something else that would be appropriate? I...

I wish I could bring it with me. I detest hot weather. It is supposed to get a totally unreasonable 80 here today and that is WAY too hot for me. Photo chemistry, precision measuring laboratories,...

Thank you for the report. I really am looking forward to this trip.

But I was SO looking forward to a ribbon.

My friend and great photographer Ben Hopson told me that he wished he were going on this trip. If Ben wanted to go, then this must be a good group.

I...

I am very excited about this meet. My first with a group of phogs from other states. Sadly, all I will be able to bring is photos of my workshop. This despite the fact that I am terrified to show...

Hi Mike:
That is the problem, I am STILL making them. They should have been done years ago, but life got in the way. A lot.

Perhaps someday they will be finished. The next batch will go much much...

I am also looking forward to meeting you J.B. I have been an admirer of your verticals for a long time.

Hi Michael: Email is on its way. Thank you. I am also looking forward to seeing some other large camera users. There aren't many up here in the frozen white wasteland. I will try to bring what I have...

Hi Susan:

My kids live in Plano. I will be staying near Dallas Fort Worth International Airport about an hour and a half from Mineola.

Here is a photo of my enlargers mounted to the wall. The photo lab is now finished. I just thought you might like to see the enlarger mounts. The bench that goes under these enlargers is attached to...

Hello Texans:

I will be visiting my children in Texas from 8-18 to 8-20. I have RSVP'd and hopefully there is room for a yankee among you.

For those of you who do not know me, I am a camera...

Hi Michael:

Just curious how you are going to cut the grooves for the darkslides with a chop saw?

This is so odd. I was in Glazers last week asking about ULF cameras, film and equipment. I did not catch the name of the salesman, but he told me Glazers wasn't interested in having anything at all...

Hello Mike:

Currently 5x12, 7x17, 8x20, 11x14, 12x20, 14x17, 18x20, and 20x24, are standardized enough for them to be made more as a commodity than as custom items. The price that would be...

Thank you Richard, nice to hear from you again. I hope things are going well for you.

Was this directed towards me? I believe our holder has features that will avoid light leaks due to humidity change throughout the year, yes.

I didn't realize that there was a question asked of me....

Thank you Alan. I appreciate that.

Hello:

I would be happy to. What format? 7x17?

Good luck.

We are proud to announce that Young Camera Company is now accepting requests for 7x17 film holders.

Our film holders are of the highest quality with the following features

Made in the USA on...

Actually, when I decided to self publish, I reduced the price to $35. I am going to try Lulu to publish this work. We will see what happens to the price.

He said he was. I just patted him on the back for it.

I will look for your email Rob.

Thank you.

Hi Rob:

Now folks here is a man after my own heart. Rob, I am also cheap. And only an honest man admits to being cheap. I like that in a person. I attempted to attach two pages as you requested...

Hello:

I have decided to publish my book Modern Bellowsmaking myself which significantly reduced the price at which I can sell it.

The new price is $35 plus $5 shipping to US destinations. You...

OK. Thanks.

Hello GPS:

Every time I have asked them for a quote it has been more than $200 USD.

If you read all of the notice you will see that you can trade me coins worth about $44 for the book.
...

Thank you Donald.

Hello:

I just released my new book on how to make bellows from scratch. The book discolses a brand new way to make bellows using your computer to do the hard work. The book is 64 pages long and...

Hi Christopher:

When you say the piece that cradles the back is the piece you mean the one with the arrow in this picture?

Very flowery, but what does what you said mean? Was there a point? I am usually not this thick, but I don't see how what you said applies to the discussion. I just want to know what I am missing.

How many would you like Paul?

Again, retention rings are $20,,,you are going to spend about half that on JB Weld (which is what the rest of you are talking about prolly) and not have results that are half as good. So, you are...

Hang around a little longer, you will see many perfect people in these forums.

The odds are pretty good considering that Ken did all the refinishing work for the Deardorff family for many years and Jack ran the company at the end. We all probably would have worked at LF...

Well, maybe now I won't have to make any more Sixtotub lensboards. Why couldn't they just have used a flat board like Beseler which I have to say is a far superior product to Dearth,,,er Durst

Thank you Thomas:

I bet the learning curve is atrocious. Well, it would be another excuse to go to Glazers.

Hi Paul:

Would you risk a lens falling out onto the pavement to save $20 on a retaining ring?
