@Aesthetique: do you by any chance have 2 lens boards left, and/or a cam for 150mm? Or anyone else? I just bought 2 very nice Voigtlander Apo Lanthar 4.5/150's, one of them even in Compur Press.

I just received this bag for my TWR: https://www.camrade.com/products/run-gunbags/run-gunbag-cinema. The camera fits perfectly with room for a lightmeter, extra lenses (if I can find them some day)...
A Rolleiflex TLR has lens --> mirror --> focus screen;
the TWR has a slightly different order lens --> focus screen --> mirror.
The result is identical for both; the projected image is not upside...
Thanks for the tip! I'm used to 70+ liter hiking backpacks but the 600AW seems oversized even for a TWR. I may have found a shoulder bag:...
Just bought a very nice TWR w/ 210mm's last Friday, and I went out to look for a sling bag or backpack today but could find anything that would fit a TWR with its 9" width!? OK, there was a Tenba...
I also got me a 504 with dichro head (single lamp). The fan only works when the lamp is on, is that right? Or should the fan start working when the main switch is on? I'm worried that I'll burn a...
Double-box: camera in a hardcase, and the hardcase in a box or crate with good padding. Don't forget insurance!
You could also consider international art movers / transportation, they know how to...
Vaseline will attract dirt, you'd be better of with any silicon based lubricant. Spray it onto a clean rag and rub into the rail.
I use this one: http://www.darkroomautomation.com/em.htm. Added advantage for me is that the factor of the enlarger gets included in the measurements, so the results are much more useful for working...
For iPhone I use LightTrac, excellent.
Fuji Dark Box FDB12, can't recommend it enough.
The very best have always been the Eizo CG-series (ColorGraphic), very closely followed by certain NEC's (search macperformanceguide.com for NEC). But I've heard or read that Dell and BenQ have...
I had a Sinar lens board 3D-printed in PLA by which is supposed to be a bit stronger than PETG according to the eBay-supplier. It's an exact match 100% to the Sinar boards in every way but the lens...
Adox CHS II 100 is a very fine film indeed. Nearly as good as FP4+, and at half the cost in the EU. I prefer classic emulsions as well.
1,5x or 2x your standard development times would be a good starting point, yep.
Dilute your developer a bit more than usual (I used 1+19 instead of my usual 1+9), and rub, rub, rub! Gently of course, and evenly. You may need to develop a bit longer with this method. After a few...
If you're worried about contamination, use small quantities of one-shot paper developer and apply with a fresh sponge. The sponge method worked for me when I made 100x150cm prints and couldn't find...
If you can't find a decent enlarger in Switserland, try a French forum with lots of used gear: http://www.galerie-photo.info/forumgp/list.php?6 or a German forum:...
Thanks Dan, that helps. And I'll check for separation.
I'm about to buy a Voigtlander Apo-Skopar 600mm, it has an aperture ring AND waterhouse stops. On one side of the ring F-stops are engraved, on the other side numbers 10, 20, 30,... 60. Serial nr is...
My negs are *perfect*, they have been ever since I started out with the zone system in 1989. But I dodge and burn 99% of the time to emphasise certain areas or elements in a print. It adds depth and...
You can always put it up for sale on 2dehands.be and/or marktplaats.nl.
Hi Nat, the Sinar clamp that holds the rail has a standard 3/8" female thread. I would not advise an adapter from 3/8 to 1/4 with a heavy Sinar, but otherwise any Arca Swiss style plate should fit as...
You can't be serious?!? One of THE most important photographers, EVER. Saw his exhibition in FoAm, Amsterdam 2009, gave me goose skin. That never happened to me before, or after. OK, taste is...
Lamp fitting perhaps?
I wrote an applescript (MacOS only) that says how many (half) minutes have passed. I can bring my laptop INTO the darkroom since it blacks out the screen. It also has a countdown function so you can...
Get these: https://diglloyd.com/blog/2019/20190720_1214-BreakthroughPhotography-6stopND-polarizer.html. I use one on my Fuji GFX50s and it's a sharp aan shooting without a filter and there's no...
That looks like a light leak. Check your bellows.
Tear off a piece of ANY tape, stick it on your trousers briefly and voila, tape with exactly the characteristics you describe.
I've recently ordered & installed an acrylic GG on https://www.pyrasied.nl/en/product/satin-clear-gs-acrylic/ (5000 single sided satin, not double sided). The 3mm version in 8x10 is remarkably flat...
Perhaps he used the boat only for getting from A to B? He doesn't state that he shoots from it. But why don't you ask him?
When the wall anchors of our cast iron stair railing broke off, the local blacksmith soldered them back on with silver and gave me 5 y. guarantee when I worried if silver was strong enough for the...
I really like its classic characteristics. Doesn't curl at all in 8x10" but I don't use pyro - if that makes a difference.
But Adox shouldn't be more expensive than Ilford IMHO, in Europe it's...
Stabitech is no longer in business I'm afraid.
Alpacka packrafts are very stable, light & portable: https://www.alpackaraft.com/rafting/. You may be able to rent one.
I have 4 negative holders in a second small backpack that I carry on my belly. Safer for the holders, and much better weight distribution, too!
If you really want to go that way, get a backpack with an external frame (Fjällräven Fire Brigade Frame, Tatonka Lastenkraxe, Kelty). With an internal frame pack the S-shaped back will flatten when...
Just a few personal observations, nothing scientific. Nearly every plastic object in my household that's over 30-40 years old is either drying out and developing cracks (hard plastics) or getting...
I find a fully digital workflow sterile, even MF - I own a Fuji GFX 50s. There's no sensor larger than 645 available, so the distinct look of LF is lost.
A hybrid workflow has the best of both...
Supposedly *the* best ground glass available http://www.stabitech.nl/Bosscreen.htm, made in The Netherlands.
