I have stacked two Mod 54 holders with no issues. Just be mindful of normal Mod 54 issues (sheet loading, gentle but complete agitation, etc.) and you will hopefully be fine.
I have also stacked...
Does your TLR on the left have the sliding finder on the viewing ground glass? I have one that looks very similar though has that approach to the viewing GG.
This looks like it employs multiple Z-axis stages. Are they all turned independently or can they be “left loose” and a single stage being turned will move the remaining three?
Thanks.
This is fascinating - wow. Would you mind sharing more re your process designing this? Thanks.
Yeah - I’ve seen some curious results with the new stuff, though I’d be hard pressed to figure a use for a product that is both so expensive and so unpredictable.
I have a refrigerator full of the stuff - it’s time to start shooting it.
I’d consider adding a single pass of a dedicated, clean roller over the entire sandwich after pulling it through the...
Grimes did a beautiful job with mine - lens/lens/ground glass/ film plane calibration, cleaning the viewing GG, creating lens caps, etc.
Excellent and very responsive work. Joel and Adam knocked...
Isn’t that the one where his iPhone died just as he was about to consult the Reciprocity Timer app?
;)
This must be the guy that’s buying all of the Type 55 that I am bidding on! Just joking, but that is an incredible amount of spendy and temperamental film. Kudos to him.
I had an old Cambo Wide...
Paul - coming from using Tmax 100 and 400 sheet film to Rollei IR400 has been quite the change in loading film. It is so thin!
Or maybe even the same within the gate on an automated scanner.
Two of the best!
Same post as before. Is this a bot designed to work up people that love doing things the hard way? Is the plot of Terminator 2 starting and the inflection point is a sentient droid attempting to...

Mr. Berliner was also a huge help during my Gowlandflex odyssey. It truly takes a village to raise a child like me. :)

I have a Lightware that has completely failed me - the canvas exterior has totally separated from the interior body foam and the adhesive is now disintegrating. Anything that goes in comes out...
This is really fantastic - I love it. Timeless.

Self. Very expired Type 55 positive print (exposed for the neg). Dusty and crusty but new to the board.
Not too many scanner manufacturers left! And the companies facilitating camera scanning solutions? Staffing up!
These all sound like fantastic ideas - thank you! I look forward to watching the youtube videos and hope to see some other pictures of people's setups some time.
As always, thank you all for your...
There are small manual stages that I suppose you could marry up to your light source via a cheeseplate or some other adaptor. I also see the potential for spending way more than hoped for and...
Hello all -
Anyone out there using a manual stage for shifting their negatives while using a digital camera scanning set up?
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I have found a new use for a neglected DSLR macro lens - digital proofing in the fashion that you described. And while it won't get down to f64, it gets to f32 - more than handy enough after adding...
Equally cool - thank you for the idea! I really wish that I had a room that could dedicated to processing and contact printing - I would be trying these great suggestions out later this evening.
...
This is great - thank you. I am still working through my practice and surely exposing more sheets than I should - it’s hard to stay on top of processing while still working out the kinks. Thanks.
I love it. This makes me wish that I wasn’t using these daylight tanks because, well, I’m processing in daylight or close to it!
Alan -
Thanks for your take. I haven’t heard anyone saying to simply go for it. I don’t think that I will be going for it. ;)
Makes me wonder about using the jumbo tank for anything, including...
That is an interesting take - I wasn't thinking about filling and drainage times.
I generally presoak and run D76 1:1 for all of my processing, so times are generally not on the short side.
Hello all -
I generally use a single Mod54 4x5 insert in a small Paterson tank and employ gentle inversions for processing. Any thoughts on using multiple inserts (on a single spindle) within a...
This is one of the coolest threads on here - thank you for sharing so much! If someone had created one of these threads for rehabbing old Gowlandflexes I would be a lucky duck! :)
Greetings from Alexandria!
I just came across this thread - I missed out chasing my digital tail for a bit there - and love reading up on this camera.
I’ve had three Cambo wides now. An old 650 with an image circle that...
I hope that it's relevant, too - I would love to meet up in person after the pandemic and would appreciate being included in Zoom meet ups until then. Thanks!
Looks awesome! Congratulations!
No luck. That would have made my year - I’d love an easy fix! ;)
Thank you.
I just compared the viewing ground glass and the taking ground glass from head and shoulders head portrait distance (about six feet or so) and waste up portrait (about 12 feet) - from both distances,...
Thank you for weighing in - I appreciate it. I am going to run through a few low-risk tests tonight though fear that this may quickly jump above my comfort level.
