Pricing portraits can be tricky, but here's a tip: research local rates, calculate your expenses, and factor in your time and value. It's okay to start lower, but don't undervalue yourself.

Oh, night vision goggles are a total game-changer for cramped spaces like your bathroom! Seriously, they make developing film a breeze, especially when it's dark in there. I've used them for black...

For high CRI (95+) LED lights, you should check Amazon. These places often have various options, including individual bulbs and light strips. You might find what you're looking for without needing an...

It really is a wonderful timer! Worth the effort and a couple finger burns (always seems to happen when I use the soldering iron). Saw that there was one of these on ebay for about $190. Not sure...

Update: FIXED It!

So proud and happy to be able to report that news... only took about a month. I suspected that it was the main relay, and testing it with external 12 volts power seemed to...

This is a really interesting topic for me for a couple reasons. The scanner I have, (Epson 4490) will not scan a 4x5. Even if it did, the scans I've done with medium format have only been mediocre at...

Good point Steve, have a can of DeOxit that I'll start going through everything with in the morning... Thanks Steve!

Hi everyone,

Some previous threads here discuss some anomalies with Kearsarge timers, and I have a model 301 that seems to be stuck in focus mode. Another user had a similar problem that was...

another high recommendation for the Stearman Press SP-445 from me. Only one caveat, when I received mine from BH it was missing the two film holders. Should have sent back but Tim sent me replacement...

Thanks everyone for all the great advice. Planning btw on sending to Flutot's.

thanks all again!

Maybe the plane ride from Japan via Fedex was cold enough to slow things down??

Thanks, I think I watched that video too! Actually, it was enough to scare me away from attempting a diy clean and lube. You're also right, cool not much of a problem right now. Though, some of...

Hi everyone!

I received a nice new (used) Nikkor 75mm this morning, and in testing things out found that the shutter was sticking below 1/8 second. So, I promptly initiated a return on Ebay.
...

That one looks just a little rough. I am considering a 6.8 lens though... the one I sent back was in really nice condition. The price wouldn't have been good though for that lens. My thought is to...

Hi Bernice

Yes, that link was the lens in question. Seller said to return lens and will pay for return shipping, so is being equitable. I wondered in hindsight now as well why the lens ring was...

all of my 35mm glass is Nikon, and I've really never disliked any of the lenses I've amassed over the years... Looks like there are a few of those for not much more than I paid the the Rodenstock.

it was definitely described as 4.5. I think they were looking at the f stop on the copal and just assumed...

Just checked, they offered full refund and to pay return shipping (sigh of relief,...

I guess i was first surprised that it fit in the mailbox, and second that the box was so light (from what I've read the 4.5 is a Big lens).

Any thoughts on whether I should keep it and what...

Hi everyone,

Glad to be a part of the forum. Am guilty of lurking and researching here for (literally) years. Have shot almost everything except LF up until now, and have been taking steps to...
