Flamberge: excellent explanation. Your f-stop timer looks great.
Welcome to the Forum.
I was surprised to read that he had practically stopped photographing by the 1980’s. Great body of work.
Congratulations!
It’s a wonderful achievement and the work is beautiful.
I use the dimple-bottom Cescolite trays for printing 8x10 and 11x14. I got them when my cheap, nearly fifty year old trays, were starting to chip and split.
The dimples do help in picking up the...
Yes, he mentioned that it’s now difficult for him to walk longer distances.
I like both his photographs and his writing on photography.
This is what I built under my enlarger table to hold paper up to 20x24 with some wiggle room to spare. Works well.
Mine is fiddly with fiber; works fine with RC.
I use the the Femoneg AM with Anti-Newton Glass on top and Glass on the bottom. It is the only way I am able to print the e tire negative (including the black borders, if I wish).
An additional...
Very, very nice :)
I attest to this method's simplicity; it's so simple and straightforward to work with.
I have no doubt that F/Stop printing is a wonderful system but it's just another way to skin a cat, and...
Up until Kodak still made B&W printing paper, everything I used was made by Kodak; now I'm down to Tri-X and two Kodak chemicals: Rapid Selenium and XTOL.
Everything else is from someone else,...
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
A few cursory observations (suggestions, not diktats):
You may want to filter the water, depending on how much sediment/rust is coming through.
You don't have to have a big sink; it's a luxury. ...
I have this one and haven’t used it in years.
I had once made a wall mount for the Durst Pro; took some time but straightforward enough to make and to mount on the wall.
Use good quality plywood (five plies, not three) and double it; that is,...
Eliverto - that is beautiful!
What kind of marks? Scratches? If the negatives are streaked, the most likely culprit is tank agitation. Others will chime in with suggestions.
I’ll be sure to check it out- congratulations.
I am pretty certain that the answer is in this post, as regards the focusing handle and knob.
(It’s the way mine works).
You hit the proverbial nail nail on the head. Disheartening to what’s happened to this iconic company. Luckily, the film division has survived and is thriving, even.
X-TOL, D-76 are the only...
Same here (and same lens) and for the same reasons. It stays on the the folded Linhof Tech. camera, ready to go.
For when I need a longer focal lenght, I carry a Schneider G-Claron 240mm lens.
Thanks for the info. Ten sheets in one holder sounds great.
I have and use Grafmatics. I use them when I am hiking to save space in the pack. Recently I bought a set of Septums just in case mine...
Have you used it? I have never seen one and been curious about it.
Tim Rudman’s book on toning is the definitive one (in my humble opinion).
I have made extensive notes from it that I refer to regularly.
Badger Graphic Sales often has LF lenses but you need to call him (Jeff); some things get sold before they get listed on the website.
That said, this forum’s Classified is probably one of the best...
The discussion on other thread indicated that this 'ripply' curling on the long edge of the paper seems random. It has been very time consuming for me to to flatten some of these prints - up to...
I cover it with a plastic sheet after it has cooled down.
Timely topic for me - I am in the 'throes' of printing a large and long-overdue personal project.
Usually 3 sheets of paper will get me to the final print.
I am printing with a Durst...
I am experiencing the same type of curling on the currently available Ilford FB paper. I now press them in the dry-mounting press for a lot longer (10-15 minutes). The older paper was flat in about...
Yes. Remove the Mixing Box and replace it with the one provided by Heiland.
If it doesn't fit just right - you can't lock it in place - file down the bottom of the side pins just a tiny bit.
The price for Heico Perma Wash gone up quite a bit over the past couple of years; enough for me to consider switching to Ilford Wash-Aid or others.
What I like about Perma Wash is that it is...
Give CatLabs a call. They are in the Boston area.
Perhaps it’s the remaining stock. So far, I found no reliable information as to whether or not it is still being manufactured.
Two (?) years ago I emailed and telephoned the US distributor - never got a reply. It is odd that their website does not mention availability, especially since the paper cannot be found in the US.
...
The partitions under the table and the dark drawer did not come with the table. :)
The table was given to me (saved time and money in having to build one). It's a laboratory-grade table - very stable and the height is adjustable.
I will do it this evening.
I am using a metal table for two L-1200. The enlargers are wall-mounted and the table too is painted black (it came that way). I have put magnet strips under the easels - they stay in place rally...
Foot switch on enlargers as well as the timers along the sink; I wired the GraLabs to work with a foot switch. Makes my life easier.
A friend of mine gave me some (still sealed) TF-5 purchased in 2017. I tested it and it still works fine.
