Hi Kimberly, I also use pyrocat and film hangers to develop 8x10. It works extremely well for GSP’s and palladium. Pyrocat, for me, is cost effective and works beautifully as I only use a minuscule...
231925This lens definitely makes a great image. I removed the limiting screw and it’s now a f4.5 instead of f6.3
Bryan, these are all great but that second one is superb!
Very nice Paul!
Koraks and Michael R, it’s true that x-ray film is not a substitute for panchromatic film. We might be coming at this from different perspectives, I have been shooting with film since the 80’s and...
Some of us are interested in experimenting, some can’t afford the cost of a box of ilford 8x10 or the like and shoot as much as we like. 500 sheets of X-ray is about the same as 1 box of 25 sheets of...
Hi Andrew,
I have Kodak 8x10 hangers in a 1 gal stainless steel tank. So orientation when developing was horizontal. Just experimenting really, my mix of of pyrocat was 25ml Sol A 125 ml Sol B and...
I’m rating Kodak S/Ra at 125 developed in pyrocat m with sodium carbonate. I have tried several brands in the past (Kodak, Agfa, Konica)of green sensitive x-ray I feel like they are all pretty much...
What I’ve done in the past is use a full size sheet of wasted film, ie bad exposure, blurry shot or even just a fixed 8x10 blank on the bottom of a grooved tray. This keeps the cut down film from...
Very nice!
This is absolutely beautiful! I disagree with Kevin on this one, the splash of sunshine is perfectly placed and adds to the image and wonderful look you’ve achieved. The exposure is well handled and...
Nodda, excellent! The dry plates you're making are turning out great!
Jac, I agree! Fantastic!!
Jim, if you need a someone to test 14x17 holders, I'd be happy to help out!;)
Steve, once again, thank you for providing this really useful information.
Cheers!
Steve, thanks again, the helical travel math part of this is not something I'm familiar with. Is it just travel x fl= distance?
Dan, you're not an idiot. When I say close focus, I mean 2-5ft range...
Thanks Steve for the detailed answer! Ben Syverson's first post states the helical travel as 20mm so if a Fuji SW f8 is used then basically there is only 10mm of travel left. That doesn't sound like...
Will any copal 0 90mm lens fit into the Travelwide. I have a fuji f8 and want to make sure it fits in case I ever get my hands on one of these. Thank you!
Scott, thanks for taking the time to explain the mechanics. Looks like you've mastered it! I'm going to scroll through and find the previous post you mentioned. Very lovely photos!!
Scott, beautiful photos! Mind if I ask what camera setup you have and also are these darkroom prints or scanned? Thanks!
Jim, if I lived near you I'd help you use that stuff! :) Seriouly though, do it because YOU love it. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks as long as you're happy.
I agree 100%, excellent vision throughout the railroad series! Easy to use on an IPad. Beautiful photographs!
Colin, the top image of the fairgrounds is beautiful!
Emil, you continually impress and amaze me with your talent! Thanks for contributing to this forum!!
John, great series of images! I really love the colored version, just the right amount of color and excellent sense of place! Any pics of the camera used, I'm not as familiar with these as I'd like...
Renato, thank you very much! I'll go check the lensculture website right now!
Dan, those first two are fantastic! Love the tones and composition.
Way to go, Randy!

Sorry for the poor quality, no scanner here.
I thought the bag mag was loaded with fresh film but my memory isn't what it used to be! 12 4x5 sheets of double exposure goodness:)

Sadly, I've been away from photography for a while. Slowly getting back into it, developing old rolls of 120 film and hopefully working up to the larger formats soon.

Ramiro, your under exposed test shot is beautiful!
I think it's him, judging from the shape of the ears in the confirmed photo and this new one, it appears to be the same

Jonathan, I love what you're doing with the Polaroid 53! Excellent compositions and a beautiful look too. Keep at it and I hope you find some more soon.
Jim C, I have the same issue as you so I'd be interested in hearing the outcome. Mine usually starts up but occasionally takes a few tries to fire. One day it worked fine, then would not come back on...
