A few months ago I told a photographer friend to check out the website of another photographer because I was thrilled by the work. I got an email response back to the effect "nice photographs, but is...

Obsolescence - what a dreaded word. Truth is it works ONLY against people who are driven by gadgets, not by results. I work with MF (Fuji 6x9) scanned with a proper film scanner and LF (4x5)...

Matt,

About the 2200, I would not be worried too much about it being "ripe for replacement". My logic goes that if it works for you today, surely it will work for you when the new printer is...

PS:

Send me an e-mail if you want me to mail you example prints.

Hey Ron,

I have a lot of experience using inkjet printers. I have used a 1270, a couple of 1280s, a 2200, and the 4000. Over time my personal interest has evolved to b/w, so I can speak with a...

Hey all,

I got my prints too. Thank you Andy for coordinating. For me, this was the FIRST time I held contact prints on fiber paper. All prints have something remarkable/story behind them.

"IF he was still alive"....kinda moot isn't it since he is dead "for good"? IF I was a better photographer, I would make better photographs. Duh!

This massage is crossposted.

I received my copy a few days back and I had only given it a cursory glace and I remember being impressed by the "moody" quality of Meriel's pictures. Until this...

Let me share my recent experiences:

I have never spent any time in the darkroom, other than printing TEM negatives many years ago as a graduate student.

I shoot traditional b/w and color on...

2: 135, 200

3: 135, 200, 300

Thank you all. Especially Roy and Darin for pointing out that I+I+I is NOT equal to III.

Hello all,

I am planning on calibrating my film, EI, exposure, development, and scanning process. I want to expose a total of 10 zones on a single sheet. The only way I can think of doing this...

6 sheets are now hanging to dry - and all looks well:-)

Ralph,

I have mixed DD-X 1+4, and put it into my fridge, along with stop, and fixer. I am waiting 2 hours for night. Here is my method of madness for previous sucess(?) with Acros in D76 1+1.
...

I live in Memphis, and make occasional forays into Eastern Tennessee - Smokies.

Oh, this is excellent. Those with other ideas, please chime-in. What a great group of helpful people - thank you.

I don't have a darkroom, and don't shoot enough to want to mess around with...

Hello All,

I am new to LF and B/W and have had success processing Fuji Acros 100 and some Ilford FP4+ in D76 1+1. I would like to migrate to a developer sold in liquid form that has the...

Well, the image is dark. But sure enough, it is left/right reveresed.

Thank You!

I am glad, because my confidence in the lab I use (the ONLY one in Memphis who do LF chromes) has remained intact.

I got back 5 sheets of Provia from the lab yesterday and found the first sheet severely underexposed and the resk OK. So my thought was, ah well, I undereposed. Then I realized that BEFORE shooting...

After canoeing 10 miles into lake Ouachita (Arkansas), setting up camp on an island, I found my tent bag had no poles. So I used the trusty Bogen tripod inside to prop-up the center of the tent. ...

Roy,

You are absolutely right. The back element does indeed come into contact with the lock nuut before bottoming out on the rear element. I am having a machnist grind the lock nut thinner so...

Hello Roy & Michael,

I checked the mount on the lens board and here is what I found. (1) the rear element was slightly loose, (2) I seemed to have screwed on the retaining ring in the wrong...

Hello All,

I am fairly new to LF, and have been using my gear with a modicum of sucess. One thing that perplexes me is that I have used the Nikkor M300 mm, f9 lens on both close-up distances (~ 3...

Thank you everybody. I believe I am going to standardize to 72 mm, that way I can use all filters from my 35 mm SLR gear which was standardized to 72 mm.

Regards.
