Well at 65 I've also forgotten more than I know��

Good afternoon Gentlemen. I too am from the area. I live in Emlenton about 65 mile North of the Burgh. I'm retired and living the slow life. Been shooting large format for about 30 years. Love to...

Has anyone ever used this. Is it just repacked D-76. I have about 10 pacs of this stuff I got from a closed darkroom

I think one advantage of this enlarger it's output is 1000 watt. Makes a big difference in exposure time. This was just a I'm bored and want to try something. Lens is too soft so not as sharp as I'd...

Forget to mention dev Time for negative 1 minute and positive 2 min to get max black

I've been a member on here for a long time but this is the first I've posted in a long time. I'm going to add my cheap two cents. There has been some discussion about enlarging a paper negative and...

I realize this is not important or medical miracle stuff. I'm just a history /trivia nut

Saw the manufactoring years on cameripedia I think. Maybe they went alittle into 1973 ?. Any thing about yours that's different or an "improvement"

Well camera has arrived. Very cool. I wasn't sure I would like the gray and blue color scheme but it looks good. So now for the year of manufactureing I am guessing the first two numbers in the...

So 94 people have read this and not one person knows how to tell year it's was made or what variations/ improvments were made over time.

Before you ask or suggest did I do a search. Yes. I have a Rittreck view on it's way from Japan. How can you tell the manufacture date. I know they were made between 1965 till 1972. Are there...

I even knew better than to use a filter. Was not thinking.

For those of you old enough to have senior moments. I was out shooting a waterfall here in Georgia with my 4x5 and blue x-ray. I traveled about 120 mile to this location. Not many people around and a...

I have been shooting at 80 or 100 all along but the negs always looked a little to dense for my taste. They printed ok but just never quite liked the look. My developer of choice was always Beutler...

Making stuff your self is fun and rewarding. How big of a tray are you looking for. If no bigger than print size 20x24 then Lowe's or home Depot has the trays for under a washing machine. Plenty big...

Ok this is going to be a little long so please excuse. First this is the first Ive posted in several years. Being the frugal type. Meaning I don't have much money to play with. I try to use what I...

Sorry, late to the thread. Welcome. I moved to Bradenton in Oct. I shoot 4X5, 5X7, and 8X10. I too am looking for the good spots. Large format is so much fun. I'm with the gang that has found X-ray...

Well after 5 miserable snowy years in Erie PA my wife and I moved to Bradenton FL. Any big film shooters here.

I have a set of about 5 of these I use for 16X20 and 20X24. They work very well. They come with an Threaded/glue adapter nipple for attaching a 1" PVC pipe to, if you wanted to attach a valve. Too...

Welcome. Good place to learn and share. What part of SW Idaho. I lived in Boise for 7 years. Miss it greatly.

I didn't have any painters tape so I used scotch tape. Wouldn't recommend it. To hard to get off. I used straight bleech in a spray bottle and a sponge brush .Other than that worked like a charm. My...

Welcome. I lived in Boise for 7 years. 1999 to 2006. Loved Idaho. If it was a weekend I was out somewhere with the camera. Anywhere where there was mountains, rocks or water. However life got in the...

Tried the emulsion stripping last night. Worked rather well. Most of my scratches seem to happen while trying to pull the fill out of the holder. Rough fingers, fragile film not always a good mix.

Can you get in to the hobby for what you want to spend, almost. If you aren't in a big rush you can find a complete kit for what you are looking to spend. Sometimes even with the film, but be...

Durst CE 1000, Durst Pro, to a lesser extent DeVer, Dujur, and Kodak prescission . All fine 4X5 Enlargers. All show up on Ebay for good price.

"You sure you didn't have a little help from the guy who sold it to you"
Well yes and your tractor. My mistake. I'm sorry

I use 7 1/2" projection lens. On an 8X10 negative, I can have the head about 3/4 the way up and more than fill 20X24 area. Some some will say I can't use such s small lens on that size negative, but...

My ceiling height in my attic is 8' 8". I could use maybe 2 more inches to get full height. That may depend on the size of the base casters. Mine just fits up between the rafters with little to...

Well, how did it go?

I would add one piece of advice. Take one of those ratchet cargo straps. While the head is still on the unit, lower it as low as it can go. Tighten the locking screw, then attach the strap so that it...

"BTW I see you are in Erie, I live down in Corry, nice to meet you"
Hi. I'm asking cause I just bought a case, very cheap, of the full speed blue. I've seen the work of some that have used it and it...

For those who haved used both blue and green which did you like better and was it half or full speed. I have only used the green and was wandering how much of a difference between the two as far as...

I second the Home Depot under the washing machine trays. I got 5 for Christmas. Cost just under $100.00

No connection, nor defending but they are in two completely different locations. Unless my German is really that bad.

My 87 year old dad and I loaded it my Expedtion. My son and I carried it up to my attic. Took us 20 min to carry main beam section. The head comes off as does the base board. The beam and rolling...

When I lived in ID my wife and I drove through there in early July. Absolutely beautiful. I was told they also grow lentils there. As a side note if you like train bridges and trestles, as you are...

Is this the one you have:http://www.khbphotografix.com/omega/index.html Look under dicontinued F series

Repromaster 213 will cover 11X14. Usually go for "get that paper weight out of here" to $195.00. It is a barrel lens.

I lived in Boise for about 8 years. Worked for Parks and Rec. Moved back to home state of PA 3 years ago. Man I miss Idaho. Welcome to the forum. Can't help on paper.

My 2 cents. I use Kodak Green or any of the rebrands of the same. Also Agfa. I rate at iso 100. I develop in Beutler High Def. dilluted at 1:1/2:8 1/2 for 6 min. at about 68 degrees I find this gives...
