Big ass hammer.
I really like 55-D. It's a nice warm dev.
False economy- throw it out.

Personally I prefer the crt's myself
I was using Ilford products and was very happy. When Kodak changed to the new plant someone suggested trying the new emulsion Tri-X. After trying it I loved it and switched to Kodak. Now that they...
The cupcake papers are a great idea! I use basket coffee filters for the bigger amounts.
I have an Ohaus that was free. It works great.

I'd grab the family album and my Irving Klaw of Bettie Page.
I would also agree about the tung oil. As for the sticking legs,I have used beeswax for wooden surfaces that slide against each other. On old dressers and desks with wooden drawers rub a chunk of...
I use D23 full strength for 6min with tri-x 4x5
Definitely contact Harry at Classic Enlargers and get the manual for your D2. Also, you may need another set of condensers. Depending on which ones your enlarger came with, the condenser set for 35mm...
Charcoal absorbs odors-just dont use Matchlite
I'm at work and there's arule about no audio, so I cant listen to the links. That being said, I'd like to reecomend an interesting book.

I bid on a baby Graphic that had a pistol grip last week. I got outbid but it said it was a Graphic G+ pistol grip.
You can still see it here: ...
Can anyone give me the depth of a recessed lensboard for a 4 X 4 (CC-400) style Calumet board?
I am going to make one, I just need to know the distance of the recess. How far back is the lens moved...
Just a note of caution- magnesium is potentially very dangerous to machine. The chips can catch fire and will NOT go out. You need a special fire extiguisher to extiguish magnesium. You can throw a...
I built a case for my cc-403 Calumet monorail. It's 21ish long. I made mine out of aluminum sheet and riveted it together but this is not for the average hobbyist. I found myself in the same boat...
Time to get fitted for your straight jacket. Welcome to the Asylum.
I'm on the list- I'll try emailing Frank and let him know there seems to be a problem.
Ron,
It's a bit out of your range but Turkey Run State park in Indiana has some amazing stuff if you poke around the trails. It's hilly there and there are some spots on the trails that I remember...
I have only used the metal hoods, such as the Graphic type. It's tough to get a loupe near the glass with one of those and still tough to focus. As for the focus cloth, buy some material and have a...
A couple of weeks ago someone gave me a Super Graphic with a 90mmSA f8 and a Majestic.
*Free* I would tell you about the easel and the 4 boxes of paper and 3 boxes of film and the 10 holders that...
I would try using a different developer. If you mix your own try 55-D, you can get the formula from Ed Buffaloe's site unblinkingeye.com and it's in the Darkroom Cookbook. If your not mixing try LPD...
I need to post up for my teacher- He seems to parallel you John, in attitude and experience working for Kraft foods, also using 11x14 view. Worked with a crotchety old portrait guy to do a portrait...
Kodalith Ortho 2556 type 3 in 4x5 has no notches. Dont ask me how you load it.
How about using that limb you cut with the saw you keep in your trunk, to build your own camera. ;-)
Steve,
When you peel the tape off-do it slowly. You can get static "lightning" marks on your film. Especially in the winter when the air in your house is dry. It looks cool in the dark but can...
Thanks for the replies- I found the Fuji info here:

So I get my choice of 100speed color (which is what...
Is 4x5 instant pack film available? I have a Polaroid 550 back, this does not fit my Calumet so I have never used it. I wanted to play with it using a borrowed Speed Graphic but I dont see any film...
I have three lenses not mounted in shutters, perhaps process lenses? I plan on using two on my view camera in front of a Packard and the other - I'm going to build a camera around it.
They are:...
Stay away from Armor All- if you use it sparingly on something you will sell in three years like your car, it's a wonderfull product. If you plan on keeping the item for a long period of time the...
Kevin,
Without getting on a rant about urban sprawl, suffice it to say, I live in an ever increasing "small" town in the midwest. I would be interested to see the submission guidelines and...
Daniel, try the cullman level http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=113844&is=REG
it mounts on a hotshoe-some Wistas have a shoe mount on top. You could...
If you try mounting a 35mm lens (or anything for that matter) inside your bellows as John suggested make sure you dont smash your ground glass as you cant see what's in there.
Also-Nikon actually...
Hey Gang,
Someone gave me a set of developing tanks for 8x10 color paper processing. There are 4 tanks with lids and one taller tank without lid (washing?) in a water jacket and two baskets for...
