Both FP4+ developed in LC29, Chamonix 45n2.

3D printed 6x12 camera still needs a bit of work on nailing infinity focus.
Thanks everyone! I've normally shot more traditional landscapes but given I'm not going to be able to leave my city potentially for the rest of the year I've had to think of other things to...

Cheers, I've been locked down and unable to leave my city for ~8 weeks now and probably will be until the end of the year, so I've got to make lemonade with the lemons.
First 4 frames of 4x5 I've shot in probably 6 months. I love how using the view camera forces you to focus on the present, really helps to exclude all of the other stuff flying around in your head at...
One sheet of Ektar 4x5 I shot last night at a local concrete plant.

Three shots on Ektar 100 in my 3D printed 6x12 camera from last night. Definitely have a light leak I need to track down but I think they came out ok.
...
First test shots of my 3D printed 6x12 camera. Came out ok but I haven't set the zone focus up correctly so I was consistently focusing closer than I wanted (and can't even get infinity focus...
Potentially? I think I've posted there once or twice before but I've never made a specific thread over there. I suppose that's something I should be doing.
Just thought I'd bump this thread with some more news. The Chromabox-4 is now routinely processing film during testing and I'll be hosting a demo-day at a local film lab soon to get more rolls of...
Two 4x5 sheets of Ektar. I took them last night and developed them this morning in the Chromabox automatic film developer I've been designing and building. Worked like a charm.
...
Three sheets of Ektar from the weekend. Overcast drizzly day but I think it really brought out the colours of the trees and didn't hurt the waterfalls at all.
...
Cross-post from the new products area, two sheets of FP4+ developed this morning, both of my partner sewing things for her side-business.
...
Big news update this time, the Chromabox has finally processed some film! It's been a while coming... Just two sheets of FP4+ 4x5 today but they turned out great (IMO). I've also confirmed that the...
Another blog post update, I now have a 4x5 sheet film holder in the machine and it looks like maaaybe it could take a 5x7 holder?

Duolab, yep there's a separate line into the machine (separate from the 6 x chemical lines) for wash water. The pre-programmed cycles will include washing between each chemical and also at the end...

New blog post up, new heating tank that's working well, some ease-of-use firmware updates, getting some parts injection moulded etc. I've also...
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'll definitely have to print them, too bad the largest I can do that at home is 13" wide but I'll probably have them done bigger externally.
Nice! I've never been up Ngauruhoe, I'll have to go sometime. All but one of those shots was at 135mm, the second one of my first post was 210mm. The tops of the peaks in the frame were a good few...
Just finished processing two more, both of these were on Ektar.

2 x velvia 50 4x5 shots from Tongariro in New Zealand. When an epic location and perfect conditions collide.

Hey all, I've recently put together an online gallery, blog and print store, you can follow the link below to have a look:

Most of the photos I've uploaded there are shot...
Hauled myself out of bed at 4am yesterday, drove 1.5 hours north and then hiked about 30 minutes to this spot (hiking at maximum speed because I could tell that the best light was already passing,...
New blog post is up, I've had a 'version 2' of the sheet metal parts manufactured and moved all of the prototype machine components onto that, looks a lot cleaner now and is super sturdy! I have to...
Mike, the heating tank is just over 600mL of chemicals, enough for 4 rolls of film. From what I've seen the break-even point of injection molding when compared to other techniques such as resin...
Coming up on the 1 year anniversary of starting the project, I've had a lot of life getting in the way recently and that always takes precedence but now I'm trying to get back on track and have made...
Haven't posted in a while, here are three shots from the same trip to a local beach (which is exceptionally hard to get to).
This one is velvia 50, dynamic range was a bit too much for slide film...
Two shots on Provia 100 4x5 slide film.

Some 4x5 shots on Portra 400 that I ended up cropping square, my chemistry is exhausted so they came out a little grainy and I'm not sure about the compositions but I really enjoyed getting out for...
A re-edit of an old large format photo now that we have so much time... Ektar 100, somewhere out behind Anawhata beach in New Zealand.
...
ic-racer I've replied to your comments above in bold. The Chromabox-4 is much smaller than the JOBO CPP2 and because it doesn't use a water bath to heat chemicals it doesn't take a long time to get...
Enjoy your phototherm while it lasts!
Managed to print enough valve parts to retrofit the prototype and the leaking is gone. I've also got the heater systems up and running nicely. Here's a really short teaser video of the Chromabox-4 in...
New blog post up and new name for the machine, it's now officially the Chromabox-4
I'm struggling with my ancient 3D printer while in isolation so I'm looking for suggestions for when I'm able to...
Cheers! I'm using a Sony A7RII camera with nikon 60mm macro lens, a copy stand and LED light table to 'scan' my pictures. Two photos per 4x5 negative stitched together gives me plenty of resolution...
