Well, does it make sense to reduce 8x10 photos to the size of a stamp?
True. But there is nothing really hidden here. It's just the direct view that is blocked.
Without the lamp her boobs would probably be the lead story of this photo. But because the lamp is there, although it does not fully cover them, the nudity becomes secondary.
I like that.
The lamp is great, and so is this photo!
i've been waiting for a lensboard since the middle of july. I Canceled the order today. Lets see what happens...
It's just a lensboard. Shouldn't be so complicated to ship it.
Usual Silverfastpropaganda. -.-
I did a few hundred testcans with the Epson V750 (Multi-Exposure) with the Coolscan 8000 (Multiexposure and Multipass) via Silverfast and Vuescan. To my mind the...
Do not use normal water! Do not use an aircompressor. You will kill your printhead for sure!
Best workaround besides never turning your printer off and besides running additional cleaning...
Using Multitank 5 with two 2509 Reels. 4 Sheets of film on each reel. 6 does not work for me.
After taking 8 photos with my new 8x10 Mark II the focussing knob just fell off because it was poorly glued.
Someone once said that the female body is a piece of art while the male body is more like a car. It's for getting around. Of course this is not a fact, it's a perception shaped by our culture. But as...
I have received my 8x10 MKII today :-). Thanks again to Max for helping out. The camera is absolutely flawless and a really beautiful piece of work. I:-)
I think the main argument in his post was that the primary target audience of intrepidcameras are young photographers that prefer instagram. Thats not bashing, thats simply the truth.
And while I...
Dear Max,
what is you understanding of "in the past"? I have ordered my 8x10 on January 31th with "8 weeks lead time". Since then none of my mails has been answered. I don't even have any...
2019 - still the same...
There are Graflex SLR's and Mentor SLR's as far as i know.
Graflex SLR's in 4x5 are rare and expensive. In good shape and with an interesting lens you will have to pay at least 1000-1500 Euro
It's...
Does your budget of 1000 Euro include only the camera? Or all the other stuff that you need for 8x10, like a lens, holders, loupe, focussing cloth, probably a tripod etc.?
To my mind, a budget of...
Ordered mine at the beginning of february. Still waiting, no message since they told me that I will get the MKII (mid february).
Amazing :eek: Nice work with the DOF wide open!
Better don't buy from other sellers than ecbuyonline2008 (he is fine) . There's a lot auf fraud with these films...
"LC29 is 1.6x diluted Ilfotec HC." (http://www.stefanheymann.de/foto/entwickler/hc-110.htm)
"ILFORD ILFOTEC LC29 is a high dilution liquid concentrate black and white film developer that is...
Thanks for all the inspiration. I am working on a 3x4 Series D at the moment (new mirror, new shutter etc.) and I don't know yet which lens to choose :-).
Well Ilfotec HC acutally IS a copy from HC110. And because LC29 is already diluted Ilfotec HC, the shelf life is indeed inferior.
It's basically dilluted Ilfotec HC which is a fast working, economic developer. It was the first developer that I used. After two bottles I switched to Ilfotec DD-X for all my Ilford-Films.
This is a scanning issue that only occurs with color negatives. It's light shining through the orange mask of the film. Thats why good filmscanners have masks for the negatives. But even then it's...

Here you can see what happens when you use the wrong Lid for your jobo drum. Lost about 25 Photos this way :-(.

Fuji Fp100c has been discontinued last year. Statement from Fuji: " “As you may have heard, Fujifilm has finalized its production of FP-100C Color Instant Film. While this was a difficult decision,...
Depends on what Polaroid-Back you saw. Peel-apart Film like Fp100c is almost dead. For some holders you can get New55 Film, which is quite expensive.
I have read at Jo Lommens Page that the 10 '' Tele Optar should work. Maybe I will give it a try when I do not find a Pentac.
I attached a Graflok-Back instead of the original Graflex-Back and can now use 4x5 Holders. Thats what most people do today with the 3 1/4 x 4 1/4.
Sounds good, I was thinking about a...
Hi :-)
I just bought the camera mentioned above. Unfortunately the lens (Carl Zeiss Tessar 4,5 15 cm) is in bad shape.
After I finished the conversion to 4x5-Graflok Back I would like to change...
I took some more photos during the last days and on most of them there is no vignetting. Maybe it was caused by the mamiya lenshood I used on the aero ektar.

As you can see, there is vignetting in the edges. But if I have the choice between mounting the heavy camera + Aero Ektar in portrait-orientation and between using the revolving-back with...
Well but I already did get a full 5x negative in portrait mode. And I am not the only one. But to be honest I am tired of having to explain it all the time.
Well it depends on the lens that you use. With the Aero Ektar there won't be any vignetting. I will upload some scans but it will take a few weeks because I have to finish my exams first.
But you...
I did. Everything works fine. I can't see any vignetting when composing vertical.
Exactly. Finished my work yesterday and did some testshoots today. Works fine :D.
Sorry for the bad photo:

I had the Polaroid MP4 Viewer before. I didn't like it.
Reversed images are not a problem. I am used to it, because thats the way my RZ67 is working.
