Thanks for the responses! I'm leaving today, so I'll use the cardboard suggestion this time, but I'll definitely look into the manufactured protectors. Thanks a bunch!

Hi,

I'm going on a trip with my Tachihara, and I'd like to pack it in a used Domke Outpack I bought. There aren't a lot of dividers, and the camera is going to go in the large, second-lowest...

Hey, thank you for the advice, guys. I used the folded sheet of paper, as recommended. And I'll check out those envelopes!

Hi all,

I live in two places, and I seem to have left (other) home without an empty box of 4x5, and I need to refill my holders. Problem is, I've nowhere to put the exposed film! I was wondering...

Thank you all for the excellent suggestions, and thank you VERY much, Greg, for lending me your lens!

Hi,

First, I hope this is the right forum.

Second, I am an idiot. I fully accept this.

As one might detect by looking at the last time I posted, I have not been very active for the last few...

Thank you all!

Hi all,

I have (as previously mentioned) an Omega D-something enlarger. It is set up on my bathroom counter, which has plenty of space for it. However, this room gets quite humid at times,...

Hi all,

I was wondering how you would compare these two lenses, given approximately equal prices (but Symmar about $20-$30 more). The main use would be 4x5 landscape, mostly B&W but also some...

Hi Gem,

Thank you once more for your advice. I looked at the condenser and it was fairly dirty, so I cleaned it as you recommended. I also reprinted the photo. I don't have a light table yet, but...

Hi all,

Well, as promised, I have scanned my prints. They look rather worse scanned, I must say, as far as specks. Perhaps not a surprise. Anyhow, dime-sized was an exaggeration, it turns out, but...

jnanian,

This looks very interesting as well -- thank you!

Toyon -- thank you. They seem worth checking out.

Westley -- I would be very interested. Please do PM me his phone number. Thank you much.

Regards,

Hello all,

I hope this is not the wrong forum for this -- please feel free to notify me if it is.

I live in East Texas, officially, but during the school year, I am in graduate school in...

I will happily bow to your superior experience, then. I look forward to testing Acros more. I continue to maintain, though, that TMY is a pretty good night film, although perhaps one would have to...

PS. Two more things. First, I looked into it some and I don't think the spectral sensitivity difference between TM* and Acros is as great as claimed, regardless of the different name. You can google...

TMY may indeed look quite different than Acros, but if you can adjust to that and are just interested in reciprocity, I would indeed recommend it for night shots (which I take a lot of, too). It is...

Thank you all for your responses. I will indeed try to post a picture this weekend.

The reason I am skeptical about the problem being dust on the condenser is that the specks all moved around...

Hello all,

Thank you very much for your collective recent help with my Enlarger Problem I. I said I was not going to post part II till I got my scanner working, but that is turning into a hassle,...

I did. More in a private message.

Thanks to all. Based on your posts and an image on the auction site, I was able to confirm that I had a glass D5 negative carrier without the glass. Presumably the clasps I was using were for glass,...

Hi,

This is the second D2 negative carrier question in a day, I see!

OK, so I printed my first 4x5 photos last night (I've done 35mm before), and I experienced two distinct problems. The other...

Thank you very much. All of these responses were very helpful, and Eugene has been giving me some help on the phone, too. I appreciate all your thoughts! I'll let you know what I end up with.

Hi all,

I've been lurking on the forum for about a week now, and I just want to say how great I think it is, and thank you all for your very helpful posts. The archive is so helpful that this is...
