I couldn't find info on the capacity of Spur Acurol-N. For my first try I decided to process 6 11x14 sheets, 2 at a time. That worked out fine. I suspect the capacity is considerably higher. As I...

My order of Spur Acurol-N arrived. It took about 3 weeks. I'm shooting 11x14 Bergger Pancro 400 at ASA 200. The developer comes with literature that recommends dilution of 1+35 and developing time of...
I thought I'd present the results of my research into buying Spur acurol-n in Germany. The shipping fee is for shipping to Massachusetts, USA.

Alan,
Thank you for your information. I have sent an email, inquiring about the price of Spur Acurol-N and shipping fees.

Mark, thank you for the reference. I will look for "Photography with Large-format Cameras". I have a copy of Stroebel's "View Camera Technique" which I purchased years ago. I went back and looked at...
Doremus, Thank you for your informative reply. With your help, I now have a much better understanding of the Eberhard effect. Your interpretation of the translation is very helpful. I have been using...
Thanks Mark. So, lift and tilt means lift the holder completely out of the tank, tilt it to drain a little and re-immerse? Apparently I would do this 3 times in a row at each 5 minute mark. The...
I had some questions about developer SPUR ACUROL-N
At spur-photo.com they present marketing info which says,
"At high dilutions, long developing times and reduced agitation, a distinct...
Thanks. I need a new model. Comparing my photo with the other two here, mine is lacking the delicate tonal range of the others. I intend to buy some regular film and compare with the x-ray film....
Here's a self portrait using 11x14 x-ray film and a 480mm apo-ronar.197431
Ah! That's nice to know. I don't foresee going bigger than 11x14 but who knows. I always envied Elsa Dorfman and her 20x24 Polaroids.
Wow! Great reference.
I have to admit, I enjoy just holding the Apo-Ronar - the weight, quality, glass, movement of the diaphragm, it's impressive.
Do you feel the resulting photos have certain unique qualities?

Very nice references, thanks. I guess I'm fantasizing about using the 1070mm. I'd want to get a unique result to make it worthwhile. I thought the increased depth of field sounded interesting, but...
Years ago I bought a 1070mm Apo-Ronar. That's about 42" focal length, so 7' bellows at 1:1 magnification. I think that's doable with the Commercial Deardorff. That lens stops down to f260. That would...
I just noticed https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1457931-REG/bergger_pan400_111425_pancro_400_11x14_sheets.html

My head brace consists of one of those metal frame pieces duct taped to the back of the chair with a piece of styrofoam taped to the top. I'm sure you can do much better.
Thanks for the info. That is a bit better. $65 better. Actually, it's better than that. Your quote was for 25 sheets. Mine was for 10 sheets. $10 a sheet vs. $31.50 a sheet.
Neat idea! You can go for long exposures or multiple pops. (reply to Andrew.) That's a great shot.
You are probably correct. I should buy some Kodak sheet film and make some comparisons. But 11x14 film is going for $315 for 10 sheets. (This is a reply to Peter's post. Not sure why it ended up here)
Thoughts regarding shooting portraits using 11x14 x-ray film with a Commercial Deardorff.
X-Ray film:
11x14 Fuji Super HR-U Medical X-ray Film for 50 cents a sheet. Who could resist? I have...
Nice! I really like that. Do you remember which lens and f-stop? Have you ever taken two head shots of the same person, one with the 480 and one with the 610 and compared the two?
I'm shooting 11x14 xray film. Thanks for the suggestions. So, with 10 pops, I assume that is not for portraits. It would be hard not to blink through that. I hadn't thought of multiple pops, but it...
I took some shots with my 890mm Apo-Nikkor at 1:1 magnification. It was fun to shoot with a 6' bellows, but the images are not of exceptional quality. Probably due to my skill level but I did notice...
It did remind me of an Erector set but I got the parts from Lowes. I'm not sure what the intended use is. I was actually quite surprised that it worked so well.
My 890mm apo-nikkor came mounted on a heavy metal plate with an electric shutter. I decided to leave it on the metal plate and mount it independent of the camera, transferring its weight to the...
Thanks for your response. I wasn't aware that Packard is still selling shutters. What is an "SC 11"?
Another question, I have a lens board adapter that came with my Commercial Deardorff. It apparently converts a 11" board holder to an 8" board holder. It is also recessed with the ability to mount...
I have an electric behind the lens shutter that came with the 890mm Apo-Nikkor. I was wondering if anyone knew if this has a method of flash sync built in. Also, does anyone know what type of plug...
I'm afraid I don't know what the correct terminology is. It has a leaf shutter with large leaves. There is a spring mounted drive inside that is electrically triggered. It automatically closes and...
My sister is into woodworking. She built the box containing the electric, behind the lens shutter. It is hooked up to a darkroom timer (and flash units).
I also have a 610mm Apo Nikkor. Here's a couple of pics:
Just noticed this great photo: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ARv9r36_rzCw7MNI4zBIpVhL56GNB1TUlANR5LD2E-RgByKm3QOF5as/
Read these threads.
My 890 mm Reinhold is on one box with pics and I have used a 900 mm Tessar on the SC11. At full 75" bellows extension.
Maybe I will find those images.
My Ronar 480 works...
As I mentioned, I am now using 11x14 film. I have a 480mm Apo-Ronar in a Copal shutter, which is about a normal lens for 11x14. But I have a 890mm Apo-Nikkor that is mounted on an 11x11" metal plate....
Your Split Oak Forest shots are incredible.
I have this same exact setup. It was in storage until I read about people using x-ray film in LF photography. I am now shooting 11x14 x-ray film and making contact prints. I shortened the stand to...
