Thanks for posting this. I, too, have 5x7 Tech III. A few years ago, I stripped the old, peeling leatherette off it that a previous owner had put on it, with the intention of recovering it in new...

Thanks, John. I’d love to be able to do some big prints, but my space (and budget) won’t allow it.

It’s a great shot, John. These big prints you speak of — are they darkroom prints or digital?

I tried to order Kodak Stop Bath last year, and they wouldn’t ship it. But they would ship me Ilford stop bath.

That’s beautiful. I love the composition.

[QUOTE=paulbarden;1581069]Two years ago a friend gave me an unopened box of Kodak Lantern Slide Contrast plates, Contrast 3, (Orthochromatic, marked “develop before October 1953”!!) and I had no idea...

Just wanted to thank the forum and to everybody that I've had exchanges with. Thanks for all the tips and learnings.

Tonight I wash my Christmas Eve platinotype. Happy...

Beautiful!

I love D23.

I had a go at 8x10, but other than the thrill of composing on the big ground glass, the resulting prints didn’t seem worth the added expense and weight. But then again, I’m no Edward Weston.

I like that, Alex. What paper did you use?

Lovely!

Well said!

I like that. I used to smoke a pipe, but gave it up about 30 years ago. I miss it.

The mist in the background really adds to the image. I like it. Well done.

Wow -- nice!

I like that.

That’s terrific, Austin!

Love this!

Great image!

Those are very nice, Jim.

I love that.

Thanks, I’m going to get one.

Thanks, Paul. I appreciate the info.

Paul, which Roscoe filter do you use? B&H shows a bunch of different yellow ones.

As a follow up to my original post, I see that 40Y cc filters from B&H are hundreds of dollars! Looks like I’ll be sticking with my Kodak Polycontrast No. 0 yellow filter to conquer the blue light...

Hi Philip -- Yes, I know the recommendation is the 40Y cc filter, but I found that the Kodak Polycontrast 0 filter works well for my methods. Without it, just using the old Aristo head (not the newer...

Does anyone know if Ilford's multi-contrast filter set would match the results I get with my old Kodak Polycontrast filter set? Specifically, I need to know if Ilford's No. 0 contrast filter would...

Those are nice. I like photographing on overcast days.

It's a five-foot sink made by Delta. I ordered it from Calumet years ago. I built the stand for it, which, for a guy like me, who wouldn't know a plumb line from a plum pudding, was a major...

Here's my small bare-bones operation -- a converted bathroom in my basement. Years ago, my father-in-law (rest his soul) built the work surface over the bathtub. It's hinged and swings up...

Those are really nice, Joe. I know what you mean about rare opportunities.

Beautiful -- nicely done!

Informative thread. I think I'm washing my prints incorrectly. As I usually tone them the following day after a printing session (too tired after being on my feet for hours), I give them an...

Thanks very much. I need to re-visit this negative in the darkroom and see if I can produce a silver-gelatin print that's close to the scanned one on the screen.

Quite lovely!

That’s a beauty!

I love that. I might steal your idea and photograph our beloved Kenmore washer, which is still going strong (Knock on wood) after nearly 30 years of use.

Looks great! Nice mage.

I, too, like that image the way it is. It reminds of a missed photo opp years ago, and I still kick myself for not photographing it. There was an old stand-alone beer joint called "Ben's Place" (not...
