I want to try some old stock at some point (E100G most likely) so that would be a good question to ask a seller on eBay; I would probably stay away from packets that are already open or those that...

Great. Thank you!!!

Hi folks,

LF film is not sold where I live so I have to import and for the last 5 yrs I have been importing and shooting Kodak Portra, Ektar and Fuji FP100C. Recently, I wanted to start trying...

Thanks for the replies. How accurate of a scale would I need? The price for scales vary a lot depending on how accurate the scale is, and how long can I store powder chemicals?

Hey guys,

About 1 month away from starting to develop my own colour (c-41) film, but there is something I'm trying to figure out.

Because of where I live, only the press kits make sense (due to...

Thanks for taking the time to explain that. I've decided that a Jobo might not be right for me, and I'll instead use a constant temperature bath and hand rotate the drum or incorporate a servo motor...

Hey guys, have another Jobo related question:

Is it safe to buy a Jobo CPA2 with a serial number of 13320? According to the Jobo website, this is the "2nd Upgrade: Strengthened the rotation motor...

Thanks very much! That helps, much appreciated.

Sorry, I don't have the unit, its for sale and this is the serial number the vendor provided. He said it was written on the silver tag, so not sure if that helps or not.

Good day,

Trying to get some info on a Jobo CPA2 with a serial number "D5270 4070 US NR 11 443".

I cant find that range listed anywhere, and whether or not this has the most recent upgrade to...

Thanks guys! Very helpful recommendations and insights.

What about in comparison to a Cambo Legend? I figured I'll never own a Leica/Alpa/Arca Swiss/Linhof, so I might as well pony up for a used Sinar. It is expensive, but nowhere near the cost of those...

Thanks Frank! That helps a bunch! Would you happen to know where I can get a Sinar X user's manual or brochure to download? Can't find any using google.

Also, any gotchas with the Sinar system...

Hey guys,

Been thinking about getting a Sinar X and I just wanted to know if you could use a normal Sinar lensboard and regular copal shutter rather than the DB/Shutter mount? The documentation I...

Ok, I think I understand now. Basically, I can only decrease my f-stop to get a larger DOF, where as movements will determine the orientation of that DOF.

I guess my problem was that I had made...

I did go to the library today and spent 2 hours, but what I did find, really skimmed the topic and didn't explain it in a way I understood. But, I'll try again to see if there is anything else...

@reyno_bundit: Yes, I'm calling DSLR a 35mm, because I have a full frame camera and not APS-C.

I'm going to check an old photographer here who may have used a view camera in the past to see if he...

Ok, so, how can landscape photographers, from what I read, maintain sharpness from the foreground to say distant mountains in the background or how an architectural photographer can shoot a large...

Good day all,

Been reading up on LF techniques, and I have a question about camera movements as it relates to a specific example.

If you were taking an environmental portrait of someone on a...

I plan on a hybrid workflow, and I have a highly competent computer system which can easily manipulate files up to 4GB in Photoshop (either a huge file, or a file with many layers). Files up to 10 GB...

well, 20x30 isn't really that good if you print it straight out of camera (at say 180 PPI). You have to do a bit of post-processing (up-rez, noise reduction, sharpening, etc.) before it looks...

Was just thinking that MF won't get me to where I want to be, so might as well stick with the lesser (easier and cheaper) of 2 evils (in this case). Kinda like sticking with your old car, rather than...

I wouldn't bring those to a match either! Waste of film :)

Anyways, I thought of medium format, and to me, I might as well stick with my DSLR if that is the case. The advantage just doesn't seem...

Just reading some threads on the forum, I can see this is probably the most zen like photography forum out there :) !

I do understand that LF photography is much more of a meditative process than...

Thanks guys! Very helpful!

I wish I could afford a medium format digital back, but that is just way beyond what I'm willing to spend on a potentially one-off photography project (especially if you...

Hey guys,

New to the forum, and I'm seeking some advice on an issue that I've been going back and forth on for the last month.

Basically, I currently shoot 35mm (full frame) and do primarily...
