Supposedly "What Odor" should do the trick.

Some of them were old Graflex cameras. I believe Mendelson or Graflex (Kodak) made the flash units. The powder was magnesium. No way you can get that stuff today.
You should find and read Ansel...
Thanks to you all. Sounds like I need to read about the features more since mayble it already has what I want. I think I'm beginning to notice changes, and I'll study it more. Generally, I like...
No, Donald, it is not the same thing. I don't read all the messages, so I find that looking back for a message is easier if I only have to look at the ones I did read. Since other major forums...
Perhaps it is here and I've just missed it, but is it possible to have the postings I have opened marked? I liked that feature in Photo.Net, but haven't found a way to implement it here. Just...
Since a lot of Walker Evans' work was done here in the South, he's been my source of rephotographed sites. I've located and photographed a number of them.
I think it was Mark Klett who coined the...
Because the last two individuals building them for Kodak - 2 little old 80 yo ladies - retired , Kodak saw the end of the film era coming and chose not to replace them. Too much labor intensive...
These books are great. I have both of his works. You can spend hours looking at pairs of images discovering similarities and changes due to passage of time.
Do take a look at the 419eater.com site. Those Brits are simply wicked! They SCAM the scammers - actually getting them to pay money instead of receive it. It will make your day.
Well, I can get in it faster now. Whatever you did works there.
You need a LOT of proofreading. For instance in your bio you make such statements as:
"occasional add [sic]" and "entails...
Paul, I don't know know what you've got behind that first screen, but I'm not about to wait all day to find out!
Micro-Tools has some black paint sticks, in both glossy & matte, that should do this job for you.
Hey Bill: You're the lucky one! Believe me, you didn't miss a thing.
If I had produced that, I would be inspired to focus better, after looking for a better subject. Other than that, it is...
In times past, I have been known to amuse myself by pulling the wrong darkslide (eg the one for the sheet towards the back of the camera) from the filmholder mounted in the camera. Sometimes I...
Terry, what's an "accusison"?
"Has anyone out there done this kind of thing before?"
You mean other than the first 70 or so years of the last century? Come on, Stephen, you aren't exactly reinventing the wheel here. What you...
My 30 yo Rotatrim is still going strong. I join the others in unreserved recommendation of a product which was designed right long ago and keeps on performing.
I'd send it to Richard Ritter. http://www.lg4mat.net/
Fred Picker's Zone VI Workshop is the best basic B&W technique book I've ever seen. I highly recommend it. Age is not a factor when it comes to the basics. Some chemistry may change, but not the...
Seamus, next time use http://tinyurl.com/
Please don't leave out LEX over at the P/N film and printing forums, from mention. He banned me for life for criticising HIM, not a forum member, ONCE. Rather draconian I feel.
Won't go any...
Hey Jack, what makes me think you've got too much time on your hands? Don't you think you are overdoing the message bit? Why don't you get out and TAKE some pictures rather than sit at your...
Yes, Jack, it is an interesting subject. But, you left out one thing.
For the more recent photographers [my interest is W. Evans], you may even run into people who were THERE when the original...
Can't get to the Weston sites [little too far from Alabama - besides, the gas is too expensive now], but I'm in the process of doing this for Walker Evans sites in the SE. I got got Edwards, MS 3...
Great site. I've got the "Second View" and it is one of my favorite books. I can't wait to get this one too.
BTW, this is a good "subject finder" for those looking for something new to...
I'd check with Richard Ritter. If he doesn't have it, he can make it.

I'd get it fixed. It's too important to mess with and the cost will be less than lost shots and mad customers. A good repairperson for these is Richard Ritter. http://www.lg4mat.net/
It sounds like you're intending to use this "mounting fluid" in the same way we used other "anti-scratch" fluids in a liquid gate [still used in the motion pic industry]. What happens when you...
I too agree with Mathew and Jorge. It's a simple matter of personal responsibility. Sadly today, it seems everybody wants to blame somebody else if something doesn't go exactly as they expected it,...
Polident tablets. They work for me. Love all those scrubbing bubbles.
Will:
Good story! Ansel Adams had a very similar story of his first flash powder experience - photographing his classmates in school. Very funny, now! Not, not at the time.
First I use an electronic antistatic brush for this purpose. If a spot of dust remains, I then use a rubber ear syringe to blow it off. They produce a powerful "puff". I have nitrogen available,...
Kodak Hypo clearing agent might do it.
I'm still using a bottle of Edwal tray cleaner. Now, they call it something else, and say it is safe for septic tanks, so I don't know how good it is...
There is no such word as "Graphlex"!
For those with glasses, I too recommend the flip-down loupe which attaches to the frame.
Here's a good source: http://www.behrloupes.com/
"What's the fuutre holds for film photographer ??"
I don't have a crystal ball, but I do see the English language is going to hell.
I would call Quality Camera first. I live nearby and once just showed up on their doorstep looking for something. They were NOT pleased with drop-in traffic. The place looks like a fortress. It...
I think you're doing too much "wondering".
These people have a great reputation for adjusting, or rebuilding Weston meters.
