Can you collect rain? If you use a "first flush diverter" (diverts first rain to waste,and the collection area is pre-rinsed) it can work well.

The odor? Leather has a smell.
A tip I learned from a machinist. When you apply the correct bit to your screw, apply some pressure in the tight direction first. Then begin the loosening. Back up,as you go. In your case, contacting...
You really have nothing to lose here. Try a dab of "Liquid Electrical Tape" , applied to the inside of the bellows corners. Wait overnight, and test with your brightest torch in a dark room. Rinse...
The injunction to use glass carriers is, in my humble opinion, a "council of perfection". Why so, I hear you cry? Because your sheet of film is exposed in a holder, sans glass, held in place by small...
Given your developer quantities, read up on Kodak Xtol,Replenished. Replace with 70-80ml for each 8x10 sheet, good for years. My stock bottle is 5+ years in, and going strong. Vanbar has it.
David Wolf asked about my modification. The problem : removing the GG to use a rollfilm back requires 3 hands. By adding two tabs, and using the removable spirit level,which lives atop the front...
Is that a result of peat in the water ? Staining ?
I have a 45 F2 and could not be happier. The O.P will find all the lenses he lists fully usable, no need for a recessed board. If the need arises, any Linhof-style board should fit. Caveat : with the...
Another way to tame contrast is the use of what we used to call "Wink Flash". A strobe , close as possible to the lens, dialed back to just open the shadows. If you can see the secondary (flash)...
Check out the Chamonix 45F2 , please. Takes Linhof boards, has twin knobs for separate front tilt and rise (a huge improvement on the earlier single control), weighs just 3.52 lbs, plus,it is simply...
Down here in Hobbiton any big food store has it in the Baking section. You could buy it from a Pharmacy, but will pay too much
With the Ilford emulsions you have ,and using ,in my case, home mixed D72, and Dektol previously , I would strongly suggest finishing with a gentle treatment in Selenium Toner. I use Kodak,but Ilford...
I spy an NA Miata. Love my '91 Silverstone...
Fair comment,Rich.
I'm with Bruce on this. A little RST cleans the green. Interesting thread on APUG (as was) on RST on the role of Sod.Sulphide..
If a few strokes with a file had bothered me, I would not be happy with my ecbuy purchase. It didn't,and I am.
My vote for a 400 speed film. Given you will likely be using the F16 to F22 aperture range in daylight situations,why further limit the slow shutter speeds available? There are other factors like...
Great image.
Well, it has been said that " A tidy desk is a sure sign of a disordered mind".
Based on my experience with a Horseman LB, you will need a recessed lens board, and bag bellows to allow full movements and focus with a 90mm or shorter focal length. As noted below, the...
My experience,in a nutshell. Terrifying to load, leaves flow marks around the fingers.Many users report it being ok if only 4 sheets loaded. Being ok for stand development says it all,really (re...
Striking image ! Minor quibble - the verticals are over-corrected ( top right ). Took me a while to work out how a "Perfectly Aligned" image looked very slightly wrong when printed. Reading Norman...
When you finish cleaning, apply a coat of Renaissance Wax,
Well,there you are, people. A consensus has been reached.
Well,my experience is only with the 23C, but the circle of illumination with the condenser head is easily observable at the negative stage. Just adjust to cover..
You can mount ANY lens to a board using Epoxy Putty. Wait! I hear you cry -that is non-reversible !.
Not so - if you use a release agent ( I used Petroleum Jelly - Vaseline is one brand ) to coat...
Norman McGrath advises this as well.
A cheap laser pointer is a useful aid.
I will never post images of my darkroom. Some members have sensitive constitutions.
Quentin Crisp had it right "After seven years, the dust doesn't get any worse".
Lenses, carriers , handling...
This make my heart "soar like an Eagle". Looking everywhere for led safelighting that runs on 230 volts - nada.
Now, 12v d/c I can do. Passing the Kodak test is just gravy.
If anyone can suggest...
Agree. Did not believe it until tested,but it's true.
You will notice the tin shown contains two grades of grit. I have used both in succession to reasonable effect.
Manfrotto (Bogen in U.S ? ) have such a beast. The model with the locking grip on the side is better.
Sometimes 0.5mm is the difference between happiness and failure.
Anyone heard of the "Peter Principle"?
The theory that any individual is likely to be promoted,on the basis of proved performance,to a level just above the level at which they are most...
Well Done! And thanks for the update.
Stephens reply is good.
I dented the front ring in my Micro Nikkor 55/2.8. The concave former, a wooden dowel with a shaped end,and grooves cut with a blade to approximate the filter threading + A...
On the "count to three" option, I have had better success with "I'll count to three" statement,and then expose on Two.Many sitters have a "photo expression" they are already assuming for the three...
Regarding Renaissance Wax - great product. Also protects unglassed fibre based prints on display.
