Looking good Michael. Can't wait to see it in the field making photographs.
You were spot on Greg. Got the caps for the lens as you directed and Bonzai - a perfect fit. Much appreciated my friend!
Ordered a step up ring for the front and a cap for the rear. Will post the results when they arrive. Thanks Guys!
Many thanks Greg. Will order them accordingly. Very much appreciate your assistance.
I acquired an older Dagor type 210mm f9 G Claron lens that came with out caps and I wanted to see if anyone knew what the front screw in filter size is and what size cap would fit on the rear?

I am with Drew on older T Max 400. I am focused around T Max 400 as I have a load of it. Ilford FP4+, Delta 100, and Foma 200 (don't like the 100 and 400 ASA versions, but that may just be me) are my...
I have shot with my 240mm Computar on 11x14 recently and was surprised that I clipped the corners. Need to check it in more detail. I can't believe that the mounting in a Copal 3S shutter has any...
Great question Scott. I purchased a 600mm 24" Apo Germinar barrel lens from Kerry like you did, but it was quite a bit wider and shorter than my Apo Germinar. I ended up selling it when I found a...
You are correct, I was looking at the chart column for 8x20 instead of 11x14. The normal lens for 11x14 is the 19" (480 mm).
Agree that the 355 G Claron is a must for 11x14. Yes, it is very wide angle on this format (equivalent to a 26mm on a 35mm camera), but it does not feel shooting with it that it is that wide. Likely...
HA! Learned that my tripod has a whole other dimension than I previously either was not aware of or did not use. Four sections instead of three. Every day we learn something new.
I pulled my CP34-L4II tripod out of the closet and it surely is a three section tripod (ie three leg sections with compression tighteners) so I am a bit confused about your question. What I like...
I have worked with a myriad of tripods over the years including Gitzo, Ries, Linhof, Manfretto, Majestic with my 8x10, 8x20 and 11x14. I can honestly say that once I started hiking it was only then...
Very nice!
The cold hard reality as to what happened internally and externally with Kodak photographic Chemicals over the last few years (ie. the good, bad and ugly) is unadulterated speculation because were...
Very nice. The image very effectively conveys the wind and cold. That long tree appears to be very fortunate to have any branches at all.
About as challenging a photograph as one could envision with a modest speed film. Maintaining the shadow detail and the highlight clouds but with a fast enough shutter to let the viewer know it is a...
Thanks guys. The second stump was there and I was able to integrate it in the image. Much easier to see it on the print as the quick shot of the print is what it is.
Wow! Fabulous image. Can't wait to get out there and hunt some more up.
Thanks Merg. The world is full of very unique features that nature worked on for decades slowly and methodically refining their complexity. The challenge is to remember to look down as regularly as...

Abandoned mansion circa 1920 on the Western Slope of Colorado just East of the Utah border. 8x10 contact print on Ilford Classic paper.

Snowy range Wyoming pine stump. 8x10 contact print on Ilford Classic.
Image downloads horizontal for some reason but presents vertical as it was shot. Going to go with it assuming that...

Tree roots exposed. Snowy Range Wyoming. 8x10 contact print on Ilford Classic paper.
Glad that it worked out so well for you. Agree it is not worth trying to buy LF film locally. Last time I traveled abroad I spread the risk in two directions. I had B&H send me a box of 25 sheets of...
I find it very interesting to see how much extrinsic risk is normalized in the world today. In this specific situation the reality is every airport ascribes to a unique protocol for security that can...
So pleased to hear that you are recovered and able to get back to your photographic interests. Wonderful images and some Ultra Large Format photographs I recognize from our trips through Wyoming and...
For my 8x20 and 11x14 (as well as 8x10), I use archival paper folders that are about a half inch or more larger than the negative that reside in it. I purchase the paper from Archival Methods for the...
Agree. It was a very pleasant moodiness to it.
Very well done! Iceland base upon what I am seeing is the consummate challenge of working at the extremes. Lots of coal blacks and paper whites. You did a fabulous job of holding the textures in the...
I would not take a chance with hand checking sheet film personally. Just too much risk involved unless you have 35mm or roll film which they will hand check all day long. Quite simply the intensity...
Very nice. Now I feel the photograph is all about the gas station. What I would look for with my 8x20. Feininger would be pleased that the image now is more concise.
Very nice image. Modest tightening suggestion. I would recommend the right side of the image end at the beginning of the road (include the house in the background) and the left side just past the...
Another nice one Paul!
Very well done. The background trees that are highlighted give the image a real pleasant 3D effect.
Understand. A different lens with adequate coverage would be of great benefit but at times it is not available.
Greatly appreciate the feedback. Many thanks.
Thanks Phillip.
Very nice. The 450C is a very sharp lens indeed.
Pass the identical compliment to you Paul. Well done.
