Its a great book. I've had mine more than a year, and its one of my favorite photography books. Lot of inspiration in there.

cell phone. works well for black and white.

Stunning! Bravo!

I have bought bellows from ecbuyonline with no problem, and shot a lot of Shanghai over the last ten years; and like it. It likes D-76 and D-23. With Rodinal, be careful not to overdevelop, as it...

My favorite by far is the folding level on my Ebony. If they sold those, I would buy one for every camera I own.

I have often thought it would be nice to make a set of knives for the profile of holder rails and stiles. That way you could just run stock of any length on a shaper for use in any size holder, and...

Right, but I develop 4 sheets with about 250ml all the time. When I was shooting Shanghai, I used to develop four sheets with 80ml, but that was definitely not enough for FP4. So, my guess is that...

Stunning!

:p

Here it is: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?103473-DIY-homemade-5x7-enlarger

I made a lightbox using an incandescent bulb for my graflarger when the original transformer died, and built a 5x7 enlarger on the same principle, and both worked as well as the graflarger. With your...

I think you lost the OP long ago...

Ya. I agree with that. For buying stuff, after a month you will have access to the forum classifieds (there is a one month waiting period to discourage spammers), but I would say ebay is your friend...

I'm interested.

"Batch", not "patch".

Batch = a quantity or consignment of goods produced at one time.
"a batch of cookies"

Cheers, Tim

Thanks Eddie. I finally got started in earnest last weekend, but now I seem to have some parts problems. Hopefully I'll have it figured out shortly. Its actually very complex, with geared rise, swing...

After researching this, I ordered some to use on the camera I'm making:p

Got it! Thank you Jim.

I usually have a small piece of foam core in my bag, 2" x 4" that I can press fit inside my camera back. With it, I can shoot two images in one sheet. This has come in handy when I wanted to shoot a...

Thank you Jim, That is perfect. I was convinced the example I have must be smaller than 8x10, but apparently not. Everything matches up, and when I checked the hardware I have (I should have thought...

Please see this post for a sketch of the measurements needed. http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?140710-Kodak-2d-in-the-DC-area/page2

Hmm.. I wonder if anyone can help me out with some quick measurements of an 8x10 Kodak 2d? I borrowed what I thought was one, and built the base this morning, but when I got back to the house, I...

For what you want it for, I don't think it will cause you any problem. You can also stain mahogany with lye, or lime, in solution. Lye is caustic, so you need to use care, but I use it without much...

If the MPP is a Mark VIII with a working rangefinder, you might be more comfortable shooting portraits with that.

Thanks Mike. I remounted the Ebony glass with the fresnel. Its a very nice and bright image.

Tim

Okay. I looked at everything again. There are two fresnels, one piece of plain glass, and one piece of plastic with concentric rings. I cannot tell the difference between the two fresnels. I mounted...

169407 169408When I bought my Ebony 45s it came with an after-market ground glass lined for roll film holders and polaroid, but the original glass was included as well. I kept the after market glass...

I lived overseas, and taught myself LF, film development, and printing, through the internet and asking questions here. But that is hard. I think I could have learned more in one hour in a darkroom...

Nice portrait. I think you captured her character!

If she was looking left, then the film was loaded correctly, and I'm stumped. Strange....

Right. The eight stop difference is huge, and the reason I though the OP was shooting through the film base (although I'm not even sure that would give you eight stops).

I think, as someone else mentioned, that you are loading the film backwards. Are you sure you have the emulsion side facing the lens on your homemade holder? Looking through the lens at the film in...

I'll make it unanimous...

Here is one: http://www.summitek.com/cradle.html

Is there no sound in the video?

It is very likely an old lens on a newer camera. Cameras are not always sold with lenses, but often with a lensboard, and it is no stretch to imagine the original buyer mounting an old lens on a new...

There doesn't seem to be a thread on this (if there is, please merge).

Here is what the eclipse looked like outside Washington DC on 4x5 Foma 100 black and white film, shot with a 360mm Tele-Xenar...

These are great Basil. Amazing the tone you are able to pull from x-ray film. Is the film single or double-sided?

You can use cheap eclipse glasses over your cell phone lens. I bought one of the cheap camera filters (same material as glasses) and have set up my 4x5 with a 360mm telephoto so I can do a sequence...

Thanks Mark. Hope to get out there around Christmas, but hopefully I will be done by then.

Oh, okay. That would be great. Make it even easier. Lets get together this weekend, if you have the time. I sent you a PM. Just let me know a time and address.
