In answer to your question, some of us unfortunates are largely restricted to hybrid workflows, often because we no longer have space for a print-capable darkroom. Or perhaps we have family...

I would argue against its being the MOD 54 holders if they are loaded properly, which takes a little practice and then is simplicity itself (IMHO). I use 30 seconds of rotary agitation using the...
I like this thread. Please don't be jealous of my elaborate studio.

No bands. Once you learn to load em, simplicity itself and great results, at least for me. I have 2 and am contemplating a...
Depending on the situation and what I have with me, I will use an older Sekonic meter in incident mode, a Reveni Labs spot meter, or the My Lightmeter Pro ap on my phone, which is always with me and...
For what it's worth, I have been using VueScan with multiple scanners and multiple film types over many years, and the scans appear and adjust in Lightroom exactly like my digi-original images. I'm...
Among the first large-format photos I was happy with. Made the same month I acquired a Deardorff 5x7 as my first large format camera, November 2011. Taken at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Moss...
The f4.5 Tessar have been mentioned as an alternative to the Planars. For what it's worth, I absolutely love the rendering of my 180mm Jena (Zeiss East German) version, which I got from a member...
Every photographer needs to decide for themselves how to produce the work that pleases them based on the tools they have available. In my case, current available tools include a decent 4x5 field...

I have blacked out the windows of our small bathroom (thank-you, patient wife) for loading holders and tanks and making small contact prints. I process tanks in daylight in my larger kitchen.
Yikes! I take 10 days away from this very valuable online community and the longest thread on my return is about . . . digital v. analog. It's like I left in 2022 and returned on 2010. I suppose...
Thanks, Robert. They were fun to make.
I bought the onion green in the spring and have been watching it mature. The dried bromiliad we found on the street. My wife tells me that she bought the ink bottle and used the ink--news to me,...
This cemetery is all that's left of Purissima, California, which maintained an up-and-down existence between the 1860s and the 1930s. Now billed a "Natural Cemetery," its dense poison oak has been...

+1 for developing a sheet directly from the box. Then from that box, or better yet a new one, maybe take a single sheet and leave it naked to your darkened loading area for perhaps 10 times longer...

These last two are lovely!
Your videos are always fun and informative, Andrew, and I thought this one was fair. I have been using a Reveni Labs Spot Meter for a month or so and generally agree with your assessment. It can be...
Now that's some fancy hybrid work. These photos are gorgeous.

This one came out pretty much as I envisioned it, despite a howling wind that kept the dark cloth flapping across the ground glass and constantly...
Now dats pretty!
Love 'em both, Alessandro!
VueScan says it supports Apple silicon. Have been using their software for years, Might be worth a try. https://www.hamrick.com/blog/vuescan-on-apple-silicon.html
I've been using the Dahle 507 "Personal" rotary trimmer to trim prints up to 8x10 for many years. The cutting edge seems to line up square with the guides according to my admittedly inexpensive...
