Yeah I hear you, sadly I'd need to replace my Jobo as well. That's a possibility for "another time™️" but for now I think this should work.

They should, yeah. It’s meant for print processing but they “taco” along the sides. I’d get an expert drum but they won’t work on my CPE2.

Yes I think that’s what I’m asking. I’m looking to use it to process two 8x10 sheets. If I read what you’re saying correctly then I can just run the center column like normal without any reels? I’d...

Recently picked up a Jobo 2830 with the intention of processing 8x10. Do you know if I need the cup attachment for the lid or can I just use the center column without any reels in there? And/or does...

Does anyone have any experience with the Silvestri loupes? I've been using a Toyo 3.6x but I am finding it difficult to achieve critical focus when I am shooting close/wide open. I think I'd benefit...

Thanks everyone! This is what I needed.

Is there anyone out there that does a general CLA on Synchro Compur shutters? I just bought a 135 f/3.5 Xenotar that came in a perfectly fine shutter, but I'd love to send it for a proactive CLA if...

Got it that makes sense -- Chamonix Boards are centered so I'll pickup another centered board. Appreciate it.

Hey all,

I have a Chamonix 45N-1 Classic with two lenses. One is a 150mm Rodenstock and the other is a 90 5.6 Schneider. I also have two lens boards, one has a centered hole and the other has an...

Good point, appreciate this.

Sure, but at some point you may not be able to move further away or manipulate the subject that much. A lot of my portraits are environmental with people I don't know, so I'd rather that I was...

And a recent shot I'd have loved to have even shallower DoF on...

Hey all,

I shoot on a Wista 45 and a Chamonix 45N-1. I am trying to emulate the DoF (bokeh) achievable by some of the more expensive/harder to get Xenotar 150 f/2.8 lenses for portraiture. I shoot...

Which one? Haha.

I actually just returned this. The top-most knob actually prevented my Wista from mounting to the head itself.

I have one of these coming to try out tomorrow actually -- Was just raising my eyebrow at the 11lb capacity. My heaviest camera is just under 7lbs so I guess that'd be fine.

Hello all,

I am looking to upgrade my tripod head, ideally to something geared. Getting into this I was hoping to spend < $400, but ultimately this path led me to a phone call to Rob Klukas and...

Hey all,

I purchased with Schneider Symmar 135 f/5.6 lens with my Wista a month or two back. The aperture scale only goes to f/8... Since this is a f/5.6 lens I am making the assumption that wide...

It has been a long time since I've taken the time to shoot LF. Recently picked up a Wista with a 135 Symmar and wanted to see if I could still do it. Very pleased with the result.

Carissa,...

Okay so that is interesting. When you say, "10 seconds (6 inversions) the first minute, followed by 4-5 inversions each subsequent minute." You're talking about rest from agitation for only a brief...

The one other idea I have is... I am DSLR scanning using a Pixl-Latr holder.... I don't see a pronounced overdevelopment on the film itself, but there's a chance I just can't see this slight...

So I'm back, STILL experiencing overdevelopment along the 4" edge of my film. Previous suggestions have been to reduce my agitation (I'm done to one single inversion in the 10s/min interval) and to...

Yep it's there on the negative!

This is what I suspect as well. A local friend of mine suggested roughly the same. I was getting 2-4 inversions in during the 10s/every min window... He suggested...

That could be it, I have used photo flo with it.

I'll give that a shot.

Hey all,

Curious if you can help me figure out this density banding I am seeing on the top and bottom of my negatives. These are processed in a MOD54 holder with a Patterson drum... Rodinal 1:50....

Shot a couple of sheets last night here ya go:

Hey Richard,

Do they/you make a Fresnel for this camera by chance??

This has been helpful. I wound up finding a nice wooden field camera locally with a lens so I grabbed that. Looking forward to shooting again soon!!

Thanks everyone. This is what I needed to know. :-)

Good to know. The ask is $800 with the 210mm schneider pictured, two film holders, and a copal 0 board. That feels good to me.

It actually has the original leather handle, it’s just not pictured....

Hey all,

I found this camera locally and I'm curious what the longevity of a Zone VI camera looks like these days. I understand that the company is long defunct, but with the camera being mostly...

Hey all thanks foe the input. I’m not particularly interested in any of the “graphic” style cameras… been there shot that years ago. I do think I need to look into linhofs again on eBay I guess....

Forgive me, film gods, for I have sinned. Five years ago, out of an abundance of professional fatigue and shortsightedness I sold all of my film equipment. Well, I have seen the error of my ways and...

*my not me

I typically use a jobo expert drum, and develop with 300ml of 1-1 xtol. Me results are fine, and repeatable.

I usually use 250ml in the 4x5 jobo drum with good result. Dunno if that's technically correct but my pitchers look good.

Thanks!

I think so. I'm not a copious note taker about these things. It was dilution H 1:62 I think that puts me close to your numbers if you were dilution B.

Taken at around f/11 I think.

It's a self portrait...
