Thank you Everyone for your tremendous help. I'm now working like mad trying to get this project completed. Yes, The landlord allowed me to nix the closet so I now have somewhat more space.
Once I...

Hi All,
I'm taking delivery of an Omega D2V in about a week being shipped internationally.
As I'm building my darkroom as we speak I'm in a quandary because I don't know the extreme height of the...

Thanks Scott for the reply. Now I have another question; on the left end of the sink is what looks to be maybe about a foot cubed extension downward. Could you enlighten me as to its use?

Scott I think your sink is aluminum; don't you have any problems with corrosion? How long have you been using it? The reason I'm asking is that some photographic chemicals are pretty corrosive and...

I'm going to be very choosy and then print mainly 11x14 from 4x5 and 120 negs. 35mm I'll scan and work that way. That's why there's a separate 11x14 print washer shown in the drawing I posted...

OK Folks, I have tried to incorporate the best of the suggestions from you all and have added a few things of my own. I am not showing the safe light locations; I plan to have 4 each, red and orange....

Upon reflection, I agree and am redesigning the whole shebang. I'll put the sink in a counter 6 1/2 feet long (the whole wall opposite the entry door. I think I can get the landlord to agree for me...

Well, I'm not fat but very gimpy and it's difficult for me to move around in small spaces.The fact is that I'm really worried about this because the space actually is 6' x 6 1/2' because of the...

You,ve gotten a lot of stuff into a small space. I'm somewhat limited as there's a lot of square footage taken up by the furnace enclosure intrusion and the Closet which cannot be eliminated because...

Hi Folks,
I'm in the process of planning a darkroom for a very small childrens bedroom 8' by 6 1/2'.
I've never had to work with such a small space and am wondering if others here are equally...

Actually, I think that Heroique has a very good idea and definitely worth exploring. Also the information provided by Oren Grad probably answers most of Query as I'm able to combine weights of...

Picking up is NOT an option and the shipper is very knowledgeable about dis-assembly and packaging. The big problem is preparation and and knowing the cost of shipping from California to BC so I'll...

Hi all,
I'm in the process of acquiring an Omega D2v Enlarger complete which requires shipping to me and can't find any reference as to the weight. I have the manuals, but they don't have the...

This has bothered me ever since I joined LFPF and today I tried to change this in my profile but I must really be an ignoramus because I can't find how to accomplish changing for a pseudonym to my...

aporodagon,
You mean that you and Andy both shoot 8x10's? I presume that's in b&w?
If you do venture to the Sunshine Coast you'll find that there are some interesting subjects to photograph. I'm...

For many years I shot portraits in 5x7 using f5.6 240mm convertible on a standard flat lens board. For wider coverage I used 150mm and 105mm mounted on recessed lensboards. This was all in a...

Aporodagon,
No, That Studio belonged to my brother Val and I worked for him for some time. Most of My work was done in Winnipeg where I had a studio in partnership and we did mostly commercial work....

Hey Andrew,
Yes Molly's Reach is still there. It changed hands some five years ago and has become pretty expensive.
Whereabouts in Coquitlam are you? I lived there some 14 years ago - had one of...

Hey Bill,
1856 - is that the year you were born? Anyway, I tried the 'Old Fart' bit but people just couldn't stand the odor so they promoted me to 'Old Geezer' before my time.

Hi Frank,
I hear that if the ocean goes up another 6 inches, Gabriola will be history and you'll have to swim over to Gibsons. You'se a prolific photo-dude mon judging by flickkr.

Well Richard,
You're in the far East; is Etobicoke close to China?
To answer your question, I'm in Gibsons, BC, about an hour from Vancouver by Car and Ferry. Here it's called the 'Sunshine...

Hi everyone,
Although I'm not new to LF photography I am trying to get back into it as a hobby after some thirty years of being out of the profession. I started in B&W many many years ago (I'm now...

Hi,
The only logical explanation I can think of for you not being able to see anything on the ground glass is: Taking for granted that the lens is not obstructed in front or in back, the culprit...
