Yeah, I see how these old plate holders have a ridge near the top. Now I am having a heck of a time on EvilBay finding ones that look like that which aren't plate holders. Is this just a really...

Yeah, Graflex slotted holders are a completely different design. Plus, I have never had a 4x5 before, I only own 3¼x4¼ and 5x7 holders.
Boy oh boy has this thing skipped gears on me. At one point while I was working on the plating, it was 3 or 4 teeth off level. I have eyeballed it to get it back on an even keel before taking...
Whoops, guess I got my terms mixed up. I am so used to saying plate mag because that is what I use on my primary camera. I meant to say film holder there, apologies for the confusion. I have a full...
Hello all, I recently acquired an old Korona 4x5 unit, and am having some issues with it. I must preface all this by saying I am a Graflex SLR shooter, and I have no experience in the world of view...
Quick update, I got a message from Amazon saying my order couldn’t be filled, so I took it as a sign and bought some of the stuff listed in the link. So thanks for clueing me in on that bit. I also...
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Western Blot 5x7 Xray film. I just bought 100 sheets on Amazon and I really do not know much about it. I want to use Fa-1027 developer given...
Hello any persons who may see this thread in the future, I am simply coming back to say that I never fully resolved my problems with Caffenol. I tried 2 more times, with no success at all. I then...
Greetings all, I am finally throwing in the towel with my experimentation and asking for some help. A while back I got some 3.25x4.25 Shanghai 100 iso film for my Graflex cameras. I figured the stuff...
I have heard of flashing the film before exposure, but I personally do not have an enlarger to do it with. But that is a fantastic photo there, what Fstop is wide open for that lens?
I am looking for normal contrast in this film, to be honest, that picture you posted is pretty much exactly what I am after. As for the amount of film I have, I think I have 16 some odd sheets left,...
The piano is nice, I learned to play on one as most do, I found my niche in other instruments though. I do wish I could play the boogie woogie on the piano though.
Also just realized I could add...
I did not get out to shoot today, rains came in unfortunately, but hey, maybe tomorrow. As for the other films, might anyone have a link to where they can be purchased? I didn't realize there were...
Thanks, I restored that organ a year or two ago, one of my other hobbies is music, and I play the organ.
I am working on my private, but I have not gotten far. I do like the prospect of flying though
Hello again, I guess I kind of jumped the gun on making an intro post, and just dove right into properly posting. Ah well, better late than never. I am new to large format photography, and relatively...
Alright, and from what I had read the Dektol was somewhat unpredictable. I went with that primarily because it was the one I could find the most info on. I am not really after the whacky results, I...
Strange, I would never have thought that could be the problem. I like to do things in mass as opposed to volume because of the rather crude impalements I have to measure the latter. I will bear this...
Quick update, thanks for all the help thus far guys. I shot another couple sheets today, only one of which came out somewhat acceptably. My Press Graflex as of now is not exactly in ship shape, so...
I did indeed read about this process online, and that is all I really had to work with. I will try a more concentrated solution tomorrow, see if that makes a difference. As for the HC-110 stuff, what...
Hello, I recently made the jump to large format, so most of the processes involved with development are pretty new to me. In my infinite drive to save cost wherever possible, I have purchased myself...
Thanks for the lead, I sent him an email explaining my plight.
Hello all, I am relatively new to the forums, so apologies in advance for any formatting mistakes. Last night I finally got my hands on a Press Graflex, I had wanted one for quite some time. The...
