I'm looking at his website: very beautiful pictures and very meaningful words. RIP.

Thank you guys.
It's an amazing place, a clean field of grass and narcissus on the top of a slope. The field is hidden until you get to the very top of a steep track and then you have this wide...

I think (I guess) he uses two lenses for his portrait work like 150+210 or 135+180.

Beautiful.
I own my Mat124G for many years now but I realized only in recent times how good this camera and its Yashinon lens are.

Thank you.

I got issues with 800iso HP5 with few airport scans, visible in the low density areas. I though that it could be worst with sheet film since it is usually stored in cardboard boxes,...

Thank you.

I passed by that tree every day for many months. It was always interesting. Then one day they cut the corn plants all around and it was even more intriguing. Light wasn't perfect that...

Thank you for sharing, Swami.
I have one question: how did you manage the films check at the airport security? Were you able to have your precious films hand checked or they have to pass trough the...

Hello to all,

I have to purchase some 8x10 Foma film.

I used Foma 200 and Foma 400 in 4x5 and I learned how to handle those films with HC110 at different lighting conditions and exposure...

I use FP4 between 80 and 125 iso, depending on the contrast of the scene and I really like it. I use HC110 but I like it more on D76 (shame is not convenient).

Your will of sticking to one film...

Thank you guys.

I'll try the Beryl and let you know if I'm pleased with the results. As I told, I don't look for the perfect detail from corner to corner and some degree of fall-off and blur on...

Thank you all,

at the end I went for a Boyer Beryl 6.8/180 (a France made Dagor design) in good shape. Its flyer states it covers 18x24cm at full aperture and up to 21x27cm when closed above f16....

If you release the two knobs for the rear standard swing, you'd be able to gain another couple of centimeter which should allows you to focus your 65mm lens at infinity, albeit I would looked at the...

Thank you Dan, I've just finished reading the tread. It looks like there is a big difference between German made and USA assembled Dagors.



Thank you Daniel, I put my eyes onto two German...

Hello everyone,

I'm considering to buy a light weight wide angle in the range of 160mm / 6.5".
It doesn't have have to be super sharp, actually I prefer it soft since I'd use it on Ortho film...

Hello Pirate,

I had the Intrepid 4x5 (shortly after sold for a Chamonix) but not the enlarger kit.
It is not easy to get a 4x5 enlarger in Europe as it is in US but I think that if you are...

Thank you gents.

Looking at you experience, I will skip Ilfosol 3.

I didn't like Rodinal when I used it for 35mm, I always got too contrast and poor shadow details with it; maybe it was my...

Hello to all,

Agree, tiny and well made lenses. They weight nothing.

If you didn't already, using wooden film holders will save a lot of weight.

I think we missed the point.
I personally don't evaluate a peace of art by my sympathy for the artist, instead a see his work, if it give me an emotion what ever it is; if it add something to me or...

That's my opinion too Pieter.
I had an idea of Avedon and his work when I first saw it (only through books, unfortunately not in an exhibition). That idea changed after reading "Avedon at Work, In...

Thank you for posting.

Avedon was a kind of an obsession to me and it's always good to see some new articles and to speak about him and his amazing work.
After "Avedon at Work", I started...
