Hi.
Anybody heard of/do business with bluestripephoto.com? Wanted feedback on experiences (if any) before trying them. Thanks.
There is no coincidence...I clicked on this for a reason!
I was planning a trip to Montreal last week, and the exact same thing happened. The fare went from about $688 to about $960 and then to...
As a visual artist ( drawing nudes, painting) who came to photography ultimately, I couldn't agree with your original statement more, Ed.
Photographing works of art of others is not art making.
So...I take it a public elementary school would qualify...?
Hi.
Does it have to go to a college? I am teaching 10-11 yr. olds fundamental large format photo techniques (along w/ digital imaging). I am "biting" as it were due to the fact that I am funding...
Tim:
Couldn't agree more. My Microtek 1800 was a piece of unmitigated crapola, in my opinion. The thing left skid marks on most of my scans, the 4x5 holder was warped (right out of the box!) and...

Hi.
I've noticed lately that after developing, fixing, washing and drying 4x5 sheet film, there is a residue of some sort left on one side of the film. This....film, if you will, is like a haze,...
Thanks, Brian. You may have helped save me 850 dollars...
Strange, but I bought a wacom for 345 bucks a few years ago, and have very rarely used it for anything. I am actually quite comfortable ( and used to) editing with a mouse and my wrong (pronounced...
Hi.
I am looking to upgrade my printer. I currently own a 2200, with which I am fairly pleased. I mainly shoot black and white, however, and would love to produce prints without metamerism. I...
Wow...scary.
I just bought the same camera about 5 months ago. It is a GREAT sturdy beast. I settled on a 300mm Fujinon W f5.6. It is a ridiculously sharp lens. Go to KEH, there service is...
Interesting, Frank. Some guy, apparently in customer service, insisted that the problems I had, e.g. streaks in scans, were very uncommon, and that the 1800f was a "professional machine".
In my...
Hi.
Just wanted to let those who might be interested in scanning lf but can't decide on a scanner:
the Epson 4990 is great! The Microtek 1800f I had wend bad after just a few scans, was heavy,...
Hi.
Before I order this thing...
I have a wonderful Fuji 300 6.3 lens for 8x10. I'd like another focal length, and am considering a 240 symmar s 5.6.
Does the angle of view differ...
Don't do it!!!
Epson Fine Art inkjet paper looks great...but it is ridiculously fragile. You'll have little white dots where the ink flakes off...even when dry! That's why I gave the 5 or 6...
Hmmm...interesting. Why does this guy keep insisting that digital is better than film? Is he being paid by Phase One, Canon or somebody? And about the file sizes...I got bigger files when scanning...
Hi.
MY enlarger, a 45 mx (NOT mxt), has a small drawer, if you will, that slides in just over the lens. As the enlarger has a drawer (much bigger) for contrast filters, I am wondering what this...
First Miles Davis....now Gordon Parks...
This is a sad day indeed. A renaissance man in the truest sense of the term.

your age- old suggestion worked like a charm! Thanks to a great little hardware store on
3rd street in Detroit.
YES!
Reversing the lensboards worked.
Thank you all for you repsonses. Still don't know the model of the camera though...
Dave,
No it won't. As I indicated in the original post. I tried this. It was to no avail.
Thank you all for your responses thusfar. I don't know what model of Cambo the camera is ; it is not labelled. ( I have looked).
Jim, yes, it has 6 inch plus square lensboards.
Jim and Alan,...
Ron, that is exactly the problem!
I know how to focus...it is not an issue of inadequate bellows extension. The lens is mounted on the graphic (4x4) board, which is in turn mounted on a Cambo 4x4 adapter board. There is no issue...
Hi.
I am having trouble with a lens/4x5 combo. Actually, it's a Cambo (no pun intended). I am unable to focus a 127mm Kodak Ektar on this camera. I have called Calumet; I was informed that I...
Hi.
I've come across an ancient turner-reich triple convertible lens that I'd really like to use on
my 8x10 camera. Unfortunately, it has no retaining ring. It is a rather large lens; 18 inches...
Am I the only one who has a problem with such a high failure rate among various lines of tools marketed as "professional" ?
I see I am not the only one underwhelmed by the 1800f. Mine was defective and the build quality of the holders I found lacking. Epson makes some amazingly good stuff. I tried the 1800f, based on...
I NEVER thought I would say this, but: I think my most recent Mac will be my last. I have two G3 s, which are wonderful machines. My G4 stinks, in my honest opinion. The fan is so loud that it can...
Thanks for your input, Ralph.
I was, however, referring to film format, as opposed to print format.
Hi.
My name is Percy (sort of ), and I am an equipmentaholic...
Seriously though, I love making images; it is my passion in life and has
been for more than 35 years. I have been obsessed with...
Hi.
I have finally grown up, and decided what I want to be.
I have been made to understand, by various "underminers", that photography,
especially editorial and fashion, is a "young man's...
Robert...my issues some time ago were frighteningly similar to yours. Short answer: yes, 4x5 is worth it, especially if you have a 4x5 enlarger. Just enlarging to 8x10 yields an image quality that...
Hi. I was trying many a substance in order to hide white specks on a black and white print last night. Strange as it may seem, in an act of desperation, I tried pencilling in the areas using a #2...
Hi.
I have what looks like a small, crescent-shaped cut/scratch on a negative which I wou love
to make a limited edition of. I have tried Edwal no scratch on the negative as well as the same and...
Hi.
Got an Orbit 8x10...same as C 1. Great camera. Yes. it is heavy. Heavy enough to
knock the living dog crap out of a would be robber. It's metal. A man's camera.
Not for the girlie man...
Thank you, Donald, first, for bringing the thread back on topic, and second for providing what seems
to be the culprit; I did, as I recall, use quite a bit of rise in order to include more sky and...
Ok...
but shouldn't I have been able to see the vinetting on the ground glass when I brought the image into focus ?
Hi.
Anybody know about this lens?
I recently purchased an incredibly clean, precise working version of this lens for use
on a Crown Graphic, hoping it would also do double duty on a 5x7...
