thanks John. That sounds very manageable even for me.

Hi all,
I have a B&J 5x7 in great condition. Problem is that I have a single lensboard for it, and it's not the right size for the lenses I have. So I need to make lensboards. But I am a complete...

Hi all,
I know that making lensboards isn't _that_ hard, but I don't have the tools to make them for my B&J 5x7. Is there anyone in the SF bay area that can help me out? Maybe someone can point me...

hi all,
thanks again for all the help. I just got back yesterday and had a great time. One thing I learned, though, was that it's really hard to shoot LF if one forgets film...oh well. Digital...

I've been keeping track of the tides this time of year. there is a low tide point around 5-6pm each day so we're going to try and see if that'll work for us at least some of the time. we're going...

looks like I'll be eating at the Adobe while in Yachats :-). I'm staying at a B&B there and most places other than Bandon.

Eric - unfortunately I don't drink, but I appreciate the suggestion. I'm not a point and shoot type of LF photographer, but I'm not exclusively an LF photographer, either. I'll have it along for...

Tom - thanks for the specific suggestions. Little things like that is where I'm at now in my planning.

To be clear, are you saying that 5 days is a lot or not enough to explore 300 miles of...

Tom - interesting, as you've given some suggestions that are really different than others. Perhaps more useful in that regard (so it's certainly not a bad thing). So no Cannon Beach, eh? Hm.

All,
First, I do apologize if anyone felt like they had to repeat themselves. I did do a search, and I found a lot of good information. But I realized I was making plans for maybe 4 or 5 trips, or...

Hi all,
I did a search on various places to photograph in Oregon - stacks or dunes, etc - and I came away overwhelmed with options.

My wife and I are considering probably going up or down the...

Richard - did you just seriously compare the V750 to a drum scan?

They are not the same, no question. When I want a scan for exhibits - which...isn't that often :-( - I get a drum scan. But for...

you mean for them to become less neutral? perhaps due to exposure to the sun changing the dyed color?

I use the P series on my "other format" cameras with Hi-Tech ND grads, which seem to be pretty neutral to me. I am crossing my fingers that they'll still be okay for my LF lenses. But that is an...

bummer - i think it's gone already.

Just to throw in another vote for Pyrocat HD with Acros...I am throwing in another vote. I have been playing with Pyrocat HD in general and am really liking what I'm getting with Acros.

any drawbacks to the cork QR plate? Just checking. I see they now have the new rubbery one instead.

Okay - _that_ makes sense :-). I'm thinking "is she tearing the film base off...?" :-)

I wet mount now but perhaps having the emulsion side down still makes sense. It's nice fitting two strips...

Joanna - how would putting the film emulsion side down prevent scanning through the base? At some point the light in the lid has to pass through the film base to the sensor in the scanner body.

Oren - thanks. I did see those threads, and saw the Calumet/Cambo ones. I was hoping for something in the 6x12 or 6x17 range (otherwise I'd just shoot my 6x9 cameras! :-).

Dan - gee, thanks. can you tell me more of this "search" of which you speak?

Thanks Rick - that's what I got via the search function, but only through little hints here and there. I could not...

Did anyone ever make roll film adapters for spring backs, rather than graflok ones? It would be nice to compose for 6x12 or 6x17 directly rather than trying to "think panoramic." I do shoot 5x7...

the answer is that you should put in enough chemistry for the size and amount of film you have in there. For instance - Agfa Rodinal is recommended at 10ml per 8x10 sheet (or 5x7 sheet, 2 4x5...

Ah - I didn't realize Deardorffs were not graflock backs. I thought they were pretty standard. I'm not sure about the comment on using a "small" back on the Deardorff - are graflock backs...

Hi all,
I got all kinds of non-relevant results in a search, and since the Deardorff is an older camera (other than of course the new ones being made) I am not as familiar with them.

Is it...
