Most unpopular opinion? That using a view camera is really cool. I quit believing that when DSLR photographers started looking at me, not with admiration, but with the kind of pitiful gaze reserved...

I like that!

That’s beautiful!

Yes, thanks. I just remembered about Richard Ritter.

Does anyone restore 2Ds? I have an 8x10 that needs work.

Really nice!

That’s a great story. I often feel like tearing up my prints, but it wouldn’t provide the same kind of drama.

In the course of a typical darkroom session, I’ll wind up with multiple prints, trying to arrive at the “perfect” one. The so-called “work prints” aren’t especially bad, but they exhibit flaws that...

That’s beautiful

That’s a lovely photo. Well done.

Lovely image. Well done.

That’s a beauty, Merg.

Really nice

Beautiful!

Well, it looks as if this whole thing was operator error on my part. I just gave it another go and was able to attach my cheapish Lumopro softbox to the Speedotron/Chimera speed ring. Timid fellow...

Thanks for the feedback. I guess my thinking was cockeyed, in that I thought strobe manufacturers would make their speed rings compatible with a broad range of soft boxes. I guess Speedotron had a...

Thanks. I had thought that if I purchased a Speedotron speed ring, it would be compatible with many brands of soft boxes. So I was surprised to see “Chimera” on it. I don’t think there’s any way my...

I recently acquired a used Speedotron speed ring to use on a 202vf head. I assumed that the Speedotron-brand speed ring would work with any soft box, but I noticed when it arrived that the ring has...

Well done. I like it.

My first post on this forum. Still life, natural light, Ultrafine VC Elite paper, Burke and James 4x5 RB. I don't recall the exposure.


Excellent!

Very nice!

Oops. Sorry, I didn’t read the post very carefully.

My two cents: I’ve never stored my black-and-white film in the freezer or fridge. I just make sure the box stays in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Never had any problems, or at least none...

I hope Santa leaves a Linhof under my tree.

I took my first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in early October this year. It rained nearly constantly during my 4 days there, but those conditions resulted in some fun and dark...

I actually like developing sheet film. As someone else said, it’s a zen experience for me. I tray develop in total darkness. I used to play Gregorian chants while processing, but gave that up. Now...

Years ago, I made a lens hood from an empty Tri-X 100 sheet box. After one glass of wine, it’s too complicated to explain, but it involved using the inner, middle and outer box lids to fashion a poor...

That is a beauty! Well dome

When it comes to development time, I just follow the recommendations of the paper manufacturers.

No. 3 for me.

Lovely!

Very nice!

Beautiful tonality! Well done.

I bought a new Nikon 90mm f8 in about 1985, and it’s still serving me well.

Appreciate the feedback.

Thanks, all. I’ve been tempted by some of their offerings, but have been reluctant to “pull the trigger,” as they say.

Has anyone on the forum ever purchased a “bargain” graded lens from KEH? Are they decent users?

Excellent!

That's a beautiful photograph. Like you, I often feel that I have to rush because the sitter doesn't like sitting there while I fumble and adjust.

I like that
