I have one of these. I rather like it for certain subjects. It is very prone to flare, so be careful of light falling on the lens when shooting. It is precisely as you describe. Kinda sharp, but not...

Peter, that is one of the best portraits I've seen on here in a long, long time. And there have been some good ones.
10 inch Gold Ring Dagor...by a long shot. No pun intended.
One brand I don't see mentioned anywhere here is Studio Pro. These holders pop up now and again. I stupidly sold some of the ones I had and wish I had 'em back. They are constructed almost...
This is an Amazon listing. If the link violates any rules, please accept my apologies and remove the link. But I have no affiliation with Amazon other that spending a small fortune with them. The two...
5x7 Eastman 2D with 8.5" Ilex Paragon lens. Ilford HP5 developed in Pyrocat.
Patrick, I think the one with the yellow filter would be superior if you gave it a half a stop less expose. My experience with ortho is that it does not respond the same way as pan film to filter...
Welcome to Missouri, Barry. Come on down to my place and we'll go shooting. I know a few good places.
I purchased this set from Reinhold Schable (did I spell that correctly) a few years back and have never been happier with a product...with the possible exception of my LazyBoy recliner with the...
Tin Can...Still have the hat? I'll buy it from you!!
I own a Toyo 57M. That's the old gray one. I don't find the movements limiting at all and I rather like the geared rise and fall. It's a bit heavy, but very sturdy.

Toyo 57M, HP5. Shot with a 14" Goerz Artar lens. Exposure not recorded.
In the late 1890's this company was one of two commercial paper...

5x7 Canham, lens not recorded, but I believe it was a 120mm Fujinon.

Buyer-centric is an understatement. I sold a "parts-only" shutter using the condition "Parts or Repair". I said in the description, "Shutter is jammed in the open state. Don't know what the issue...

Thanks, Andrew. I enjoyed your video quite a bit. But surely you can find room for a little microwave?
I think you'll be happy with your meter. I have the Pentax digital meter and love it. The Zone VI scale you have is probably an aftermarket scale added by a previous user. If it was Zone VI modified,...
Here is a good video on building a table with 80/20.

That 60mm can throw you off if you let it. It sounds like it's closer to "normal" than it really is, and the DOF is quite a bit deeper than that of the 80mm. It's bit me on the butt a few times as...
I got one of these at a local auction, along with three rolls of dry mount tissue and a roll of butcher paper for ten bucks. I'm in the process of building a workbench for my wood shop and am going...
Absolutely spectacular!
There are nylon spacers similar to that in the hardware bins at the big box hardware stores such as Menards, Home Depot and Lowes. Don't know how it is down your way, but here in SW Missouri,...
Welcome aboard. I live in beautiful downtown Rondo, Missouri myself. Population 17...except when my brother goes back to California for a few months. Then it drops to 15.
Great shot Bryan. Back in the day, I shot a lot of concerts (The most challenging being the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, where I couldn't use any artificial light). But I never got anything as good as...

Not true...I defended Rodinol staunchly in the Bergger 400 thread. This is a great comparison of dilutions. I may try the same with with 120 so that grain can come into play.
I did make it down to the Booth Museum this weekend to see the Kenny Rogers exhibit. Overall, it was a positive experience. The strength of most of his images was clear to see, although there are a...
I've seen some of Kenny's photographs, and I intend to make a trip down to Georgia to view this exhibition. Many "celebrities" have been very fine photographers. Barry Goldwater was a 5-term Senator...
No, the bicarbonate only goes in the pre-rinse. Benzotriazole goes into the developer. I haven't read Pat's article yet, but I just downloaded it and shall do so at my next opportunity. I'm with you...
The sodium bicarbonate was something I read about somewhere, but I don't recall where, so I can't offer a reference. I use about a half a teaspoon in 32 ounces of water for the pre-rinse. If my...
I use a lot of Bergger Pancro 400. Yes, it does have a higher base fog density. However, that can be tamed if you make sure you make some minor modifications to your developing procedure. I use a 2...
Another camera that I believe shipped with this lens was the Agfa Standard plate camera. You might try searching that. Nothing I found lists the filter size though. Many of those style lenses...
This is gorgeous. I love the composition and I love the scintillating highlight detain. This must be amazing in a selenium toned print.
Either the Pentax Digital Spotmeter or one of the Soligor 1 degree spot meters will be good. Soligor put out both an analog and a digital version of their spot meter. Both were good performers.
Drew, how much vertical space does your enlarger require? I have eight feet two inches of clearance in my darkroom and would like to get an eight by ten enlarger. There is a Durst that's a state away...
Can you surf?
I just opened a box of Arista Pro 400 from 2006. It's been frozen and in double zip lock bags since the day I bought it. My understanding is that this film was simply rebadged HP5, and I've never...
Found these on Amazon and mixing XTol just became easier. They are ABN 5-liter "paint mixing pitchers" and a 3-pack is $32.95. They are quite heavy duty, marked out in US and Metric measurements and...
But did you magically get diarrheic after drinking it?
