Yes, thank you for sharing Christopher's work! It's lovely.
And I appreciate all the feedback. It seems if I were to go with a Gitzo a series three might be marginal. Rick, your mention of...

I’m currently planning on getting the Arca Swiss, so this is very helpful! Thank you! I’d seen Horne’s post—I might reach out to him directly.
Hi all,
Wading into the tripod conversation: I’ve got a Sinar Norma, and currently use an old aluminum Gitzo, which is plenty sturdy but both heavy and miserable to use in the cold. I’m looking at...
Hey all,
Need a bit of help. So yesterday the knob that controls front tilt totally seized up. How does one actually take the knob off to clean it and lubricate that point? Everything else is...
We just missed each other. I started fall of 2004. It’s a beautiful place—I still get up there at least once a year.
John, I'm a Dartmouth alum! When did you teach there?
They’re really amazing. It’s a small exhibit, so it’s hard to say it justifies the trip, but well worth it if you’re already here. Does anyone know who actually printed them?
Update: Doug got in touch, the purchase went smoothly, and my holders arrived. Fortunately, if shooting LF has taught me anything, it’s patience. All worked out in the end.
Lovely image! I'm curious how you like working with the Bergger COT 160. I've been looking for something lighter weight, and the price sure is right.
Some cursory googling shows a fair number of reasonably priced ones for sale on Amazon and the like. Obviously, something that doesn’t leak oil is appealing. But what should one look for in a pump?...
I’m in the market for a vacuum frame, and looking online I came across these: https://www.dennis-ramos.com/portable-vacuum-frame. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they any good? The price...
I've tried the scanning@address a couple of times with no success. So Doug If you're still monitoring this thread, drop me a line! Would love to buy some holders.
Hey all,
I need to get a good friend of mine a gift, and wanted to get him something photography related. I had showed him some examples of wet plate photographs recently by way of suggesting we...
That’s very good to know! Glad I just need to keep an eye out for any model in good shape (with cables), and don’t have to look for the Norma one specifically, as those seem harder to find. Thank you...
That is certainly an enviable set up! Thank you for the advice. Out of curiosity, where do you find inexpensive Sinar shutters? Every one I’ve seen listed has been fairly expensive—though I suppose...
This has been extremely enlightening and quite a bit to chew over! Thank you all for your very detailed responses. I guess my remaining question concerns using those process lenses for portraits:...
Bernice,
Thank you for the detailed reply! It's much appreciated. I'm using a Sinar Norma for 8x10, but I have the accessories to extend the bellows out for 1:1 if need be. (I already had a Sinar...
Well they do seem to be somewhat less expensive! (And B and H seems to have a used 480mm APO-Ronar for sale in good condition.) How does the character compare to the Nikkor-M or Symmar-S, in your...
Hey all,
I know that this has been touched on in earlier threads, but I'm in a slightly different situation than previous posters, so I wanted to see what current prevailing opinion is. I'm...
If you're comfortable sharing them, I know I'd love to see them. What size are they?
Thanks all! This has been enormously helpful. I think I'll keep my eyes peeled for an 11x14 washer first, then add a 16x20 when/if necessary.
Hey all,
I'm planning on picking up an archival print washer, but I've been a bit stuck on what size to get. My question is, do people tend to own multiple print washers? I do print up to 20x24...
