Thank you, these are all useful suggestions.
Someone suggested neutol warmtone but that seems both hard to find and slightly toxic...I am printing in a bathroom that gets regular use....
Have people used lupex successfully with adox neutol...
what/how to paint piece of steel to prevent rust but no outgas then?
No. Scan in 8 bit.
Work in 8 bit - but be sure to add noise to layer masks in photoshop that contain smooth gradients.
You can switch to 16 bits per channel right before you print, just...
I have my darkroom in my bathroom and am realizing this. Steam from the shower is pretty close to the dry side of the room, though there is a ceiling vent and a window I can open.
I've mounted a...

I want the folding table idea to work, if I had a permanent space I would by all means get a cart similar to Pieter's or build a rig like Drew is suggesting. But I want to be able to break...
Yes good idea, I'll try that - have to wash all the dust of the washer outside anyway
Yes. It's borderline to be sure. But if 220 lb capacity is accurate, and feeling the stability with the dry sink in it, I'm inclined to try it gingerly. Was also trying to gauge if placing washer...
Yea, I don't know - that's just what they claim.
I'm also a little skeptical, although it is less flimsy than it looks. Like it's way sturdier than a normal church style folding table. The...
This is a follow up post to my bathroom darkroom question –
I got a folding fish cleaning table that claims it can support a weight of 220 pounds. My kostiner 11x14 print washer weighs, I...
Curious - Did you purchase the fixer from Freestyle?
I've no definitive proof but noticed some weird stuff happening with their arista brand rc paper for my students that seemed like it might be...
Thanks everyone. Very Helpful.
Thanks Fred and j.e.
I don't really need running water except for the print washer, and I'd like to have it in the holding bath as well if I can figure it out. But it would also be great to be...
Thank you Xkaes, that's exactly the info I was looking for.

Thanks Michael, no tub, shower only situation. But maybe shower head splitter makes sense for...
I'm in the process of putting together a darkroom in my bathroom for making 11x14 enlargements from 35mm negs and some contact prints from big negs. I've been reading through a bunch of threads on...
Resurrecting this thread to say 3 things:
1. I went through the 50 or so negatives that I actually took the time to match up with their corresponding contact print and had stored touching each...
Cool – Thanks, appreciate the info
Thanks for the tip. My last concentrated darkroom session I used ilford warmtone with moersch SE6 (a comblo I think someone on here posted about) and experimented with different dilutions of moersh...
Thanks everyone...Sounds like he probably didn't. So if I wanted to try to get close to that look using todays materials I'd use amidol from formulary and that adox lupex stuff that only comes in...
do you use it on Ilford warmtone to cool things down?
Thanks, I have read them tho it was over 20 years ago....These were at the Huntington...The people I've spoken with there and at other museums...I think things like gold or selenium toning are a bit...
Just got back from a museum visit today where had the opportunity to view bunch of prints made by him, (not his sons)
According to the catalog published by the museum the prints were made by him...
Thanks for sharing your ipad setup with the other leica column - looks good
– yes I should have specified my copy medium is full frame digital
Thanks Steve - sliding camera stage....16 x 20 but maybe a few newspaper size...altho I don't think the camera can extend laterally far enough to do that. That's good info to know, I think you are...
Thanks Greg
Just looking at pictures, I'm not sure my Sony A7R camera would mount to the rig above that lens, because of the way the camera hand grip sticks out. I don't doubt that lens is good......
Curious if anyone has used one of these copy stands to do copy work with a modern digital camera, like a sony?
They are made for Leica screwmount cameras, I have a LTM to Sony E adapter, but I'm...
I've never considered them to be 'zines' but I've used blurb to print 40 copies of their smallest square book and give them away about 15 years ago. I've also made a bunch of book dummy mockups,...
Dang – Thanks sruddy - that's the type of comparison I was looking for
I'm using Epson Presentation Paper Matte which is 102 gsm, 4.9mil thick - so it's really almost like regular copy paper weight, (unlike the 'premium' or 'ultra premium' ones which are thicker.
I...

No
I would keep the one that gave me the largest image circle. I'm sure another member can chime in here and state which one that is.
Or if I didn't use front rise a ton and needed the $, I'd...
I found this old zone 6 page to be helpful....although I think the suggestions would apply to both base and axis tilts

Thank you – looks good
Oh Cool Thanks...would love to see a photo of it someday
where did you get this custom hybrid bellows made?
my goal is to use a 150mm on an arca 5x7, which from my experience using on deardroff 5x7 seems right on the line between standard and bag...

Foe those that have seen or purchased a copy – I'm curious how you find the print quality of this book?
same here, but recently I unwrapped a bunch of older framed works and was able to really look critically, side by side, at the differences in reflection distraction between regular OP-3 Plex, Optium,...
Thanks Joshua – good to know.
