Great, Thanks

I'm exploring the possibility of backpacking with an 8x10 Norma. Would one of the Norma owners out there mind measuring the height and width of a 8x10 Norma? That would be from the very bottom of the...

Erie,

That would be great, I'll PM my email address. What have you found that works well for an adhesive backing and what kind of printer holds up best against abrasion?
If anyone else would...

Please, do tell us how you layout and print the aperture scales..

reviews on the cavision seem to be quite good. 4 out of 5 stars for 11 reviews. that is unless one thinks the reviews are somehow staged.

Many years ago I heard somewhere that a darkroom was dark enough if, after 10 -15 minutes in the darkroom you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. I have used this as a test since and...

got me, they have a 15% restocking fee and a 30 day return policy. or you can buy through amazon and possibly avoid the restock fee.

You gotta promise to report back after you get it... :)

Hi Tony,

I have both the Kodak pub on gas burst and the View Camera article. If you will P.M. your email to me I'll send them. The View Camera article by Michael Kadillak has info on sources for...

I'd credit PenGun for that!! Glad it's fixed.

Hi John,

What browser are you using? (Internet Explorer, Firefox etc...)

I've found averaging meters sometimes hard to interpret and seldom accurate. two tricks you might try are:

1) Meter your hand and for average caucasion skin add one stop. Be sure your hand fills...

Thanks for the link Sal, do you know anyone who has experience using the Inglis Gaseous Burst development system with 8x10 negs?

Hi Michael,
I'm leaning toward tank development for my 8x10. I want to have the ability to process multiple sheets with the option of semi stand development. How did these tests turn out?
Thanks,

Be aware that there is a Copal 3 and a Copal 3S with different thread sizes for both the lens mount and the lens board mount. See this thread for more info:

There is one more camera to consider. It is my belief that Richard Ritter will make his camera with a 5x7 back and bellows. I'm not sure of the weight but it would certainly be light.
Richard would...

Argentum does have a full line with rotating backs etc.. An interesting option would be the Whole Plate model with a 5x7 back. It has a rotating back, 480mm extension and shows to weigh 2.5 KG...

The "argentum excursor I. h." is listed at 2.9 pounds without a back. There are two styles of backs each weighing different amounts. This is a horizontal only model with only 270mm of extension. They...

There will be nothing to it! The hardest thing to do will be to shoot in a 50mph wind. With that in mind, and the thought that you will probably be going back, I would try something basic to start,...

Looks like the pilot sits in front. The wing struts appear that they will be somewhat of an annoyance from the rear. I would definitely make inquiries as to whether or not the pilot can fly from the...

You could get a 360mm 620mm Symmar convertible. They appear to be readily available and very inexpensive. I'm not sure how sharp the longer focal length would be.

Peter, Of course you are right. Thanks for all the good information.


As an addendum I just found this on Kerry Thalman's web site: http://www.thalmann.com/largeformat/fujinon.htm

Copal S -...

No I didn't. That's very informative. Even If I had the correct Copal 3 shutter it would then become an issue of trying to ascertain the thread on the G-Claron 355. I guess if I want a G-Claron 355...

Well, OK
I'm either reading S.K.'s data wrong or there seem to be some discrepancies. I suppose ultimately the size of the mounting threads and required lensboard hole should tell all.

The Copal...

What makes a Copal 3s (or S 3) different from a standard Copal 3?

For the record, this enlarger now resides in Longview, TX. The afore mentioned price ranges just about nailed it, including a 210 Rodagon lens.

I'm exploring my options for lightening/compacting my lenses. I'd like to know if a G-Claron 355mm in barrel will screw directly into any Copal 3 shutter without adapters or spacers etc..

Thanks

Good point. I'm working on this today, I'll try to squeak a full 9' out of the ceiling.

Hi Les, Great, Its home and unloaded with out a problem. I think the move went much smoother as a result of input here. Thanks to All.

Hey John,

There is mention of a Durst 184 at the bottom but no price.
Don't know how far this is but...

I've just done the same thing myself. This was out of my price range also but I think it retailed for 10 to $15,000 not long ago and just thought I'd point it out. Regarding the enlarger on the bay,...

Although I don't personally have experience with Durst enlargers, they are generally held in very high regard.

I don't know where you are, but there is an ad in the Houston craglist for a new 8x10...

Les, thanks, that sounds like a good idea.
