I would go with a 45NX. It's a lot more camera than the cadet. Through 3/31/01, the NX is on sale for about $650.00 I think. You can also get a 210mm Caltar II-E f6.3 for about $320.00. Check their...

We used a Nuarc platemaker way back in the late 1960's and early 1970's. They were used to expose aluminized lithographic printing plates for use on offset-litho printing presses. They did use...
The beauty of large format is that you are never locked entirely into 1 system. The lenses are what really count, and these are easilly interchangeable.
A $400.00 Crown Graphic that needs...
It's good to hear that it is going well, Doug. I'm sure you will make a positive impact on many people.
I paid $475.00 for mine just before Christmas on ebay. It is in near mint condition. It is also tack sharp. I recommend. $400.00 sounds like a good price. Good Luck with it if you decide to go...
Blue filters will help accuntuate fog for B&W negative film. You will probably need a tripod, because of filter density and lower light levels.
I'm with Chad. I am going to tart up my 45NX with pinstripes & paint my gitzo in candy apple red. That ought to show em we can be cool too.
I echo Harold's comments. I use the 45NX. It is simple and functional. If you are looking for silky smooth movements with a lot of precision, this is not the best choice. For Portraiture, it should...
Hi Craig:
Maybe I'm off base here, but it is my understanding that you have to test all the way through the print phase in order to establish a personal EI for a film/developer combo. There are...
I use a Pentax Spotmeter V analog. It is simple and accurate. It is about half the cost of a digital, but does the same job. They cost about $150-$200 used in good shape. The only drawback is that...
Oh, by the way, one last thought from me.
Your learning curve is the steepest. It will probably take 2 or 3 repetitions before you get your class requirements down based on skill levels, budget,...
Well, I graduated with a BS in Industrial Arts Education from The College of New Jersey in 1973. I was a Graphic Arts Major.
All freshman Industrial Arts majors had to take the basic Graphic Arts...
The trade name used to be Pakosol (circa 1971). I don't know if they are still around. There was also a ferrotype polish. Cleaning the ferrotype plates removes any residual emulsion. Stuck on...
Thanks for your numerous responses. After your input, and after examining Bernard Suess "Creative Black & White Photography" it seems that the #40 yellow/orange will show the greatest contrast ...
There is a remote possibility that it is not your light source. It could be your developer temperature. I use a bathroom darkroom. While the room is warm, the base of the tub is cool. If the water...
Oh, I forgot. I am using medium speed black & white pancromatic film. (Ilford FP4)
Hi Folks:
I am shooting urban architecture. Many of the churches have copper clad steep les. This produces a dull green patina. I want to shoot these steeples against a blue sky with tonal...
Thanks for your responses guys. I will get a bag bellows first. I can't wait to try out this sucker.
Hi Folks.
I have a Calumet 45NX. My basic lens is a 150mm Nikkor f5.6.
I shoot old urban neighborhoods. I shoot mostly 2 and 3 story buildings on narro w streets. Occasionaly I shoot taller...
Thanks Chris. I think that this is the route I will take. The online instructions seem to be clear enough,
I have a 550 film holder, and I don't like it. It is problematic with roller pre ssure and there is consistent waste with the film packs. I think I would be bett er off with a Polaroid sheet film...
Thanks for the responses. This forum is great! I have emailed SK Grimes for a quote, but it probably looks like it won't be cost effective. For $500.00, I could shoot Nikkor, Fuji or Schneider...
Hello Folks. This summer, I am going to try some large format for landscapes and outdoor architecture. I was a Graphic Arts undergrad over 25 yrs ago. We used m any cameras and formats way back then,...
