Yes we are in our 3rd national lockdown, & its unlikely to end until mid February at the earliest, & it may well be in place until Easter. The governments target is to have all the people over 50,...

Sigma are due to launch a 105mm f2.8 macro lens for E mount on Wednesday, with perhaps more lenses

Once Fuji add Multishot I think the GFX 100 will be able to produce results rivalling a drum scan

Food for thought, Epson will be launching the Legacy range of 4 papers in January, 3 of which are OBA free.

Robert, this is very different from your normal portrait approach. I too find the background busy, options are use a faster lens than the G Claron? and use it wide open, or use a much slower shutter...

Ed I have a 2880 which I use for Piezo inks, and I also have recently bought a 4800 which I may also set up with Piezo inks. I curerntly use the Carbon ink set in the 2880 and I am considering also...

I beleive the price only applies if you have CS3 or later and do you want to bet the price will increase in Jan 14 :(

Does anyone have a PDF of the Horseman LX users manual as I have been unable to find one online? Please PM me if you can help me out.

Paul, I have over 30 years experience in the darkroom and I have just bought my 1st printer, a s/h r2880 with the intention of using it with either the carbon or warmtone piezo inks. I remember...

I’m looking for your experiences and thoughts on the Arca Po ballhead and its suitability for LF cameras? I know the P1 head would be better, but it only tilts 45 degrees, whereas the smaller Po...

Here are a couple of videos which demonstrate how to use the tubes.

Its been reported Epson will have 3 new printers at Photokina but I doubt one will be a replacement for the 3880

I've been waiting 2 years for another batch of lenses. Cooke are very busy with making movie lenses, and I think they could be designing & manufacturing a new range of lenses for the Red DSLR.

Perhaps the clarity comes from using a Durst condenser enlarger to print his 7x5 negs

Bruce,

I have been delving through my archive & have found an article by John Sexton in issue 3 of the Jobo Quarterly in which he discusses his use of the Jobo expert drums & the developers &...

Bruce,

Here in Europe we get a choice of the US 1 Litre bottles of HC-110 or the smaller European 500ml bottles which I believe is a weaker concentration. I use the US bottled syrup. If I were to...

With HC-110 being cheap, stable & a classic combo when used with Tri X, I intend on using HC-110 as my standard developer when rotary processing using the Jobo Expert drums with my CPP2 processor.

Frank,

I would suggest there is little difference between the performance of the Nikon, Schneider & Rodenstock 240mm f5.6 lenses. If money were no object I would choose the Sironar S which is...

Jordan,

I bought the Fuji 300 C when I moved to 10x8 a couple of decades ago & your experience with the lens mirrors mine. I found the lens to be very compact & have great contrast, but it lacked...

I have bought some 5x4 & 10x8 colour neg film which I would like to develop myself using my Jobo CPP2 c/w lift. I have the following Expert drums 3010, 3005 & 3004.

Could some one give me, or point me in the direction where I can get the reciprocity times for the following colour neg films which I’m about to try in LF sheets.

The Imaging-Resource diary has been updated :)

Thank you to everyone for your input & I can see myself being swayed towards 5x4, with the IQ being similar to a drum scan or 10x8, for sub 20x16 prints, plus I will save on film costs.

I would like to start a project using either 5x4 or 10x8 colour neg film which I would like to scan & then print using an inkjet printer. Drum scans here in the UK are very expensive so I’m...

Kerry,

I purchased a 600/800 T-ED off eBay here in England a few months ago at a bargain price. I use the lens on my 10x8 but I have put it on my 14x17 camera & it looks to cover okay. If the wind...
