Also a very good point. Thanks.

Mark,
Also a very good point. Thanks.
Roger,
I was thinking something along your idea. There will be a day somewhere in the future when this lens will move on to a new owner. I'm thinking the new looking shutter and scales...
I have a Nikkor 150SW in a copal 1 shutter. It was bought years ago in "fair" condition and is still in the same "fair" condition. When I received it the shutter cocking lever was broken (I bought...
A photo from earlier this year in Yellowstone. Converted from an 8x10 piece of Provia.
Peter,
While I have used a 16x20 for 11x14s, I have always like more matting around a photo that size. Unfortunately, that means getting into non ready-made sizes. I have some 11x14s from Roman...
The model that I have is LS-324CL. It's a very nice tripod for the money.
I have the same tripod as you and it is indeed an excellent, excellent tripod. Just saying that the Leofoto equivalent is pretty good at a very reduced price. Oh, I still use the RRS tripod and...
Have to agree with Lachlan here, I have a Leophoto tripod that cost under $300 that gives a Really Right Stuff a run for the money at $600 to $700 less.
I just had a CLA completed by Precision. Everything was fine although certainly not the fastest turnaround - 3 months. My only "complaint" was the lack of communication about their time line, but...
While I have both 8x10 and 4x5 formats, it is the 8x10 that gets used 90% of the time. I'm 71 years young and still backpack with my 8x10. I figure it is a way to stay young, and to be honest, an...
I have one in the chrome shutter and it's EBC coated and just fine, but also a great sharp lens! Just not as new as the black shuttered lenses. Jim
Peter,
After reading your post I went online and viewed the info on the 324Cl and thought, that is really reasonable. Then I put the tripod in the "cart" and applied the 20% coupon making the...
Thad, right on both accounts, Beartooth Mountains in July. I have been there many times but this was one of the very few times it was so calm.
Photo taken with an Ebony 8x10 using a Nikkor 450M on Provia film.
Somewhere in South Dakota.
Craig,
As someone who used an Ebony 8x10 RW I can give you my thoughts on it. I used the RW for over ten years and it was my go to camera. I loved the ease of set up and use. If ease of use and...
Not sure I totally understand the issue here, but, if you are looking for a company that uses the Hasselblad X5, AgX Imaging in Sault Ste Marie, MI still scans using this scanner. I had about 20...
Here is a 4x10 image made using a Chamonix 4x10 cut dark slide.
Randy, I have he basic version and have used it on a regular basis figuring reciprocity for the few films that I use and it has worked out fine. I'll have to explore the "more expensive" version to...
John,
I have this app and use it for reciprocity but did not realize it could do that. I will have to check it out. Thanks. Jim
I hope this is in the right place and that there is something in an app that can help me. I am looking for an app that will let you compose, give you the lens info (210, 300, 450. etc.) but then...
Eric,
While I have not used refillable cartridges, I have used many "generic" cartridges in my Epson 9600 which I have had for 16 years. I have put over 200 cartridges through the printer, a...
Juniper snag made with a Chamonix Alpinist X.
Craig, I was happy to see that you succeeded with this. Congratulations!
I have this camera and it is an incredibly lightweight and well made camera. It’s also a joy to use.
I have been using the Pro Satin Duo 255 and I like it. Red River does make an Arctic Polar Luster Duo that is pretty nice and more expensive. I have used both in the 12x12 size and like both of...
Another from Death Valley made with my Ebony 8x10 using a Nikkor 450 lens on Velvia 50 film.
It might be because I’m in the middle of trying to revamp my site with a new update. It’s taking longer than I expected due to traveling this fall. Jim
An older 4x5 image that I had to re-scan. It was made with an Ebony 4x5 using a Nikkor 300M on Velvia 50.
Here's another image from Death Valley made with an Ebony 8x10 using a Nikkor 450 on Velvia 50 film.
Here is a second composition from the same general group of trees as in my last post. Like the previous one, it is a black and white conversion from a 5x7 piece of Provia.
Here are a couple of images made of the same rock, but from different angles. I thought I would post the two as a diptych so they can be viewed side by side. Both images were made with an Ebony...
Good luck with this project. (Have pledged.) So I hope it succeeds.
Yes, it is.
Image made with an Ebony 8x10 using a Fuji 300 lens on Provia film.
Image made with an Ebony 5x7 using Caltar 210 lens on Provia film and converted black and white.
Here is an overview of the pool and stream where I made the last 2 images I posted. This one was on 4x5 film.
Fred,
I have tried numerous cleaners with just a little success. I have sprayed the outside of mine with a clear acrylic spray and it has made it less sticky and at least at this point doesn't...
An image from the Lake Superior shoreline made with an Ebony 8x10 using a Fuji 300 5.6 and Velvia film.
John,
The swirls were made possible because the outlet from the pool was pretty much clogged up with leaves and the current had them moving in a counterclockwise motion. And, yes, a long...
