    Re: Traveling to Iceland, torn on 4x5 vs MF 6x6

    That's good to know. I had hoped I could stop by an Iceland post office on our last day to mail it out or some such. The price isn't as much of a question (within reason anyway) given the cost to go...

    Whoa, a response from someone who lives there, thanks for the link! Glad you mentioned an umbrella. That's exactly what I was thinking but my better half wasn't sure how it might hold up in wind...

    Thanks everyone!

    Yep the whole car door wind thing shoulda clued me in last year when I was already thinking about it. I think if I had even one ok day or location where I could've used LF but...

    Re: Traveling to Iceland, torn on 4x5 vs MF 6x6

    Indeed windy to open a car door means...uhh...shooting LF inside the car? :P

    I've gotten pretty good at traveling with my 4x5. I look rather goofy walking through the airport with two packs on (my...

    Re: Traveling to Iceland, torn on 4x5 vs MF 6x6

    Hahah indeed. I should have said _if_ we go, given the current continued eruptions. I am pretty quick to setup generally. Compose not so much (but that's partly why I like 4x5). The ease of the 'blad...

    Traveling to Iceland, torn on 4x5 vs MF 6x6

    We're heading to Iceland this summer after having to reschedule from last summer. I know it's gonna be a logistical challenge to get my 4x5 kit up there. I'm hoping my camera pack is just sized right...
  7. Re: Sensitizing box vs tray, and cadmium vs lithium?

    Thanks for the info! I ended up giving UVP3 a go and was getting about 1 ISO albeit with a coated lens (which at the time I forgot might block UV). I ordered it in two parts and only mixed up a small...

    I've been looking at wet plate again. Thinking about finally starting to order some of the staple items so I can finally make progress on working up to giving it a go. Among the first things is the...

    H&D Curves with 510-Pyro?

    Generally speaking, it seems by eye my 510-Pyro 1:100 rotary times seem pretty good and seem reasonably decent with the SP-8x10 though I haven't processed too many sheets in the SP. At this point,...

    My SP-8x10 came in today so opted to give it a go! I only had a single exposed sheet - Fuji HRU, but I figured that would be a good test. It's still drying and though I over-developed it (not the...

    H&D Curve for Stand Development?

    I've been thinking about this lately but haven't been able to find a good explanation - stand development is a method of compensating in the highlights as I understand it? When thinking about H&D...

    I'm interested in this as well. I mostly dev it in Xtol, XT-3 (recently) or ID-11. I am interested in Pyrocat-HD though.

    I've been loving it! Higher contrast at the same dev times (I was using Xtol-R but it may have been questionable given I ran at least 2 bad batches through it) but heck I'm even trying replenishment...

    Thanks everyone! That was, uhh, a lot :) Gave me a lot to think about for sure with a wide array of options to consider. I'm not sure I'm any closer to figuring out which one to get but found some...

    Fair point on the links Tin....
  21. Finding tripods for Large Format is kinda hard (daunting)? Favorite LF tripod?

    Original thread mentions 4x5. I would guess due to the off the shelf nature of the lenses, larger sizes (like 5x7) might be difficult/impossible? Curious because J's sample photo is BEAUTIFUL and it...

  25. Re: Lane Dry Plates: What is a practical ISO rating?

    Yeah sage advice as I pulled the last sheet a bit too early I think. Although at least the scan looks just gorgeous and I think it should be printable in the darkroom. Also just to be sure, the ISO 8...
  26. Re: Lane Dry Plates: What is a practical ISO rating?

    I've only shot a few of these but for what it's worth, rating at an ISO of 2, my first test plate was exposed using a 18% gray patch on my color char. That one came out with some dense highlights but...
