This was a double negative that I realized right after I took the shot. I was initially pissed at myself since I was winding down on my available film for this trip. I actually kind of like this...
yes the bottom can be removed for a smoother repair. As with cowanw, the bottom on my 3006 fell off naturally. I have yet to “properly” fix it. Though hot glue has worked for the meantime. The...
Looks like it leaked on the top of your film holder where the dark slides in the holder. Could be because it wasn’t seated correctly on the camera back or you could have a bad seal on the top of...
Couldn’t remember if this film was exposed or not and ended up creating another double negative. I think I have my process down now as not to have too many more of these mistakes. But hey, I didn’t...
Stuffy, I suggest if you already have a nd grad that you plan on using, to try a few shots with one attached to the lens before going through the trouble to make an attachment. This guy used a couple...
Finally got out of the house yesterday to go shoot some LF film. I was literally on the edge of a cliff to my right with cars/motorcycles zooming by at, you guessed it, 40+ miles per hour on the road...
+1 on the video link above. I have found that video very helpful getting my focusing down throughout the scene.

Have a process, as others have stated, you will make mistakes. It is a learning process. Couple key points that I would forget sometimes.
Factor in the bellows extension or you will get thin...
My bucket heater just continues to heats up to about 160°f. The heating element in my cpp2 still functions, so once it reaches temp the machine will hold that temp on its own. The Sous Vide would be...
I have incorporated a bucket heater to get my jobo to temp within 30min from a cold start to develop e-6.
The Sous Vide device looks promising as it has a thermostat that would shut the heater off...
My Harrison PUP has lasted me over 5 years, but has become sticky due to storage in the bag. It along with my Jumbo Harrison tent (bought for $30 like new) now stay assembled and hanging on the wall...
I scan my 5x7 negatives just as you say. Right on the glass. I put another piece of glass (ANTI NEWTON RING GLASS) over the top. In a bind, I have used just a sheet of plain glass, but that would...

I have just started to experiment with this. Using my Lee Seven5 system with my 300mm with a 52mm filter thread. Not as small as your lens though. Haven’t developed the shots yet to compare, but...
I too use a notch system on my holders. I bought my 5x7 holders with them filed in (only thing I don’t like is that it’s numbered as A&B sides) It simplifies tracing down light leaks and I use it in...
not exactly a permanent solution and maybe a bit too late for this thread, but I have successfully used a heavy fabric skirt/dress.
I measured the circumference of my camera back (then a 4x5) and...
Thanks Jim, I agree, but it just sucks that the trip was so limited due to the fire. I had a few more shots planned out in the Valley, unfortunately the smoke changed the scene/lighting so...
Here’s a shot of an Adirondack chair on the patio of the cabin.

Here is a shot I had time to squeeze off before the Yosemite Valley became over come by smoke from the Briceburg Fire last Tuesday. Only LF shot I was able to get that day.

Here is the Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox that I shot on 4x5 when on a trip up the West Coast a few years back up through the Redwoods.

this looks like the same guy that was out by the golf course holding a club off the 405 in SoCal. Today he's sporting a race suit now holding a checkered flag at the Porsche Track.
Not actually taken in 2019 , here are my Nut Krackers during Christmas time shot on 4x5

I’m with Peter on this one. I made a simple string with segments that I hang on the rear of the camera. When stretched out to measure the bellows, it tells me how many 1/3 stops that I need to...

I think I see what’s going on. According to Jobos website there were motor upgrades throughout its production. I’m assuming you have either the beginning production model or the 1st upgrade model....

The motor describe above doesn’t look like it would be a straight swap for my CPP2.
Curious to how you got that fitted. Did you canablize the motor and use just the guts?
The open cpp2 that I...
Jim, if you are having the same problem that I have on one of my cpp2.
In my case, the switch under my motor speed knob had broke. When I purchased it, the motor worked great at all speeds, but...
