My wife and I travel to K. Falls on occasion to see her family. I'll look forward to seeing your show. Thanks for the heads up.

Three: Definitely 6x9 and 4x5. I'm selling all my 8x10 lenses, but will likely keep my 8x10 for a particular project.

4x5 is black and white.

6x9 is primarily for digital color, though...

Custom Bellows just replaced a Sinar 8x10 bellows for me a few months ago. Excellent job, as usual with them. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Of course, Pentax Digital spot meters are excellent. I just purchased a Zone VI modified version.

As a result, I sold a Minolta Digital Spotmeter F that I thought was good.

I'm wondering how they'll price the 5x7 conversion kits?

Of course, they'll assume a 141mm front format frame. But, one might (?) be able to attach a 171mm to 141mm reduction lensboard to the...

I have a Luland 171mm adapter to 6x9 that works well. Fit is tight; no wiggle room.

Sounds similar to John Sexton's approach; he uses masking with black and white film, and he's careful about minus development. For example, one of the techniques that he demonstrated in his Fine...

Yes. With the testing I've done, that tends to be my experience.

But, we can probably say that the 1/2 ASA guideline has it's limitations. I do calibrations once every couple of years, and I'm...

Expansion and contraction is the point, especially with black and white film. It's too bad that we can't do the same thing to the same degree with color; but, color tolerances are too tight.

I...

I had a friend who had been a photographer in Hollywood during the '40's and '50's. Back in the days of black and white, I remember seeing these B&W photos in movie theaters during the '50's. He...

It's important to stick with your principles! :)

And, the 90mm f8 Nikon lens is an 8 element lens that has the same image circle (235mm) as most f5.6 90mm super wide lenses. That's the clincher for me, and why I prefer it to any f5.6 version.

I use Ilford Warmtone VC paper, which I really like, with a Beseler 45s color head. My grade "2" contrast is no filtration. To increase contrast, I add magenta filtration and leave both Cyan and...

With the customizations I've recommended in the following link, the F1 Sinar can be just as functional a camera as an Arca Swiss. The Arca has some nice features. But, the F1 can provide both...

Without meaning to offend, isn't this conversation kind of irrelevant? With or without elements of landscape, with or without elements of human involvement, isn't it all about what makes a...

Life after E6?

Well of course, we've gone to heaven . . . with digital capture and digital printing. :)

At least, that's what I've done. Not so sure that I'm in heaven, though.

What's...

My oldest lens isn't that interesting. It's my 121mm Super Angulon single coated lens.

It was my first super wide decades ago. I figured that, if it was good enough for Ansel Adams, it would be...

Versus being presumptuous enough to "instruct" others how to proceed, I will instead relate my own procedure. And before doing that, let me point out that Ansel Adam's Zone System procedure was...

It's an option.

So, the B&H photos are incorrect?



I have an Asian reduction adapter from 171mm down to 110mm that fits just fine in the bellows side of my Metric, 171mm rear format frame. (My Asian reduction...

I don't doubt that the front frame will be the 141mm series.

But if I'm not mistaken, B&H images show the camera with the 171mm format frame. :confused:

Thanks for the heads up. What's the intended front format frame?

Many minis. :)

I was thinking . . .

I ordered my new Mac Mini (16gbyte unified; 512gbyte SSD) so that I can load the most recent version of Adobe PS/LR, Negative Scan Pro, etc. Plus, I'll finally be able to...

I also have one. But, mine is just like yours.

Thanks for all the information that you've provided in this thread. It's been very helpful.

All excellent!

Yeah, I feel confident that I'm going in the right direction.

I just ordered yesterday, and I'll pick up my Mac Mini a week from Friday. :)

Having thought about this purchase from multiple directions, I'm leaning towards the Mac Mini M1 with 512 Gigabyte SSD Memory, and 16 Megabytes of Unified Memory.

The latest PS does very well...

I'm wondering, what kind of future does the 2018 Intel Mini Mac still sold new by Apple have? How many OS upgrades will someone who purchases this MiniMac have remaining?

It may be best to...

All these inputs are really helpful; thanks very much.

So, what is the relationship between Rosetta II and the original Rosetta that was discontinued after Snow Leopard (10.6.8)?

Does that mean that the M1 chip will be limited in the applications that it can run? Does it run the same instructions set as the corresponding Intel chip?

For example, is it possible to run...

If I get any kind of Apple, it will be the minimum product line needed that will run Adobe Products and Capture One. From the Studio thread, I gathered that a Mac Mini can do quite well. From my...

I appreciate all the input. I think that I have a pretty good idea of what would be needed. Still, making a choice has its complexities.

I like Oren's strategy. Purchase a Dell without...

The Type I has a single column that connects to the lens stage. The Type II has two columns. The I and II have different size lens stages, and each is the same size as the two corresponding heads.

I believe that the blue and the green have internal circuitry that controls each color independently. So, they each have their own sensor. Connecting a compensating timer links the timer to a third...

I've always used Kodak Rapid Fixer for both film and fiber based photographs. I like the the convenience of Rapid Fixer, and the fact that it's easy to mix stock solution. And, I've always been...

Having in mind the Windows 10 Operating System, what computer should one purchase to run Adobe software, and in particular, Photoshop/Lightroom software?

I'm thinking of some sort of desktop or...

That's great; I sure enjoy mine, and may purchase a second.

But, that's another story. (Oh, dear.)

One caution about drying prints in a dry mount press; should one of the prints not be washed properly, the thick pad or other rag boards used as part of the dry mounting process can become...

This is exactly right. The story as I heard it from the Calumet Project Manager for the Zone VI product line, was that the Type I was originally designed as an oversized 4x5. Then someone observed...
