Lovely colorado ^

Haven't done much. Pop died back in June (not from covid) so me and my siblings have been handling his affairs and getting Mom settled. I have shot and processed a few sheets of 4X5, as well as a...

Thanks Christopher - just in case any wondering, shot hand-held with Graflex Series D 4x5. Used a Wollensak 15" Raptar Telephoto.

Thanks TC

I think I'll title this "Clouds"

h2oman, likewise, I have lots of my Dads clothes - and I have one of his USN rank insignia's on my hat. Yes, the jack is very worn, just about all the paint is long gone, I may still run across the...

Not sure where to put this. My Dad passed away back in June - this is his hydraulic jack. I guess he acquired it back in the 50's or 60's. As far back as I can remember we used it to jack up the...

I don't see any image...what is wrong with my eyes? All I see is the title and date. I see all other images posted, just not yours...?...?

I soaked my cell in acetone - took about a week for it to dissolve and easily come apart. After cleaning the elements up, rather than balsam I used a drop of canola oil. I suspect that it is not as...

Is it just me - I can't see Ken's images...?

Just bought a 2020 Subaru Forester - the darn engine stalled at a red light on the way home - turns out that is a "feature". At 62 I honestly don't need any more "features" in my life.

Over a year ago, when I made my first dry plate exposures, I did a close-up scan of a small section of the 4X5 neg (scan near left elbow). No "grain" that I could see. I suspect that wet plate...

I agree - read Ken Lee's website for mixing my own. I was very frustrated with how Rodinal treated my Ilford films - the grain was horrible. D-23 seems to have taken care of that.

Several years ago I purchased a lens element, a positive meniscus lens from Surplus Shed here in the US. It is about 145mm in diameter and has a focal length of about 3 meters. It is very light,...

I was surprised to see that I have only been here 10 years - feels like for ever. The forum is a wonderful resource and a great place to just visit with like-minded folk. As far as I know, I am the...

Thanks to the OP (Iga?) for starting this thread...I just discovered it.

Crawled around on my knees last week, in my yard - Nikon D200 w/55mm macro

Thanks Philip - it's one of those places I wish I could go back and try again - but it has been out of the family for a good 20 years or so.

Shot this one many years ago on 4X5 - My Aunt & Uncle's old farm property, Rocky Mount, VA.

Fred gets the credit (blame) for me getting into large format. I purchased his Zone VI Workshop book in the very early 80's, when I was shooting 35mm and medium format. Learning that I had been...

Years ago I purchased a Caltar II-N (re-branded Rodenstock) 115mm f/6.8 for use with 5X7. Purchased it from Kerry actually. It may fit your use for a wide angle. It is kind of large due to the...

Absolutely one of my favorite subjects...

Welcome to the forum - and please share your images and experiences. Many of us enjoy the alternative processes. I have been making cyanotype contact prints from large and medium format film...

Just stop down to f/64.

I used Kodak D-76 regularly back in the 80's and it always had some small black specks floating around after mixing. I always filtered it out before use. I have no idea what it was - perhaps...

As per instructions / experience from our Jim Galli, you can modify a Velostigmat II (non-fuzzy) by slightly separating the front elements (unscrewing slightly to taste). I tried it with my 9 1/4...

I use dropbox for my hosting svs - it's free up to a certain amount of space.


I am guessing that has to do with the image size that the person posting it has uploaded. I usually size mine at no...

Possibly the stand development? Was the film of the double sided emulsion variety - if it was, how did you accomplish stand development?

I have used a large Packard shutter mounted behind the front standard of my 8X10 camera for may years. I just learn to live with the slow speeds by using slow films and papers. Personally, I rarely...

I watched it a year or so ago - an inspiring project. But apparently I lack the discipline to do that even with 35mm :(

There is an ebay seller - ecbuyonline2008 - who makes very nice bellows. They are in Hong Kong. I think they make them for your camera. As to how difficult to replace - I have no idea. I ordered...

I don't think you can - and I don't see how one could possibly obtain uniform agitation in one (I have tried).
There are other tanks that are supposedly water-tight.
There are dip-n-dunk tanks...
