Have you tried the Foma 400 vs 100? I think I will have to give it a try, for the price that could be huge. I shoot tri-x 320 at 100 so I am used to the speed but, working with people and...

I looked but struggled to find any good examples of HP5 being shot in harsh conditions but still maintaining a pleasing curve, without clipping either the highlights or shadows. It always seemed like...
I stopped shooting just before COVID and sold off my lens and it seems during that time the cost of my beloved tri-x has doubled and the only other film I liked Panco 400 died. Been thinking about...
Any chance you ever made the left and right brackets or the focus rack (rack not the gears)? Hoping to find a drawing for either.

8x10 Kodak Master View. At its age it could use a new set of hips but its my main camera and I love it.
I do have the owner's manual and parts list. Sadly neither include mechanical drawings. I will have to ask around and see if anyone has a service manual.
Looks like your doing exactly the same...
For those you might find this in the future. The George Eastman Museum does not have the plans. I was told the plans and blueprints were tossed when they brought the building that housed them down....
Mine is loose in the track where the bracket slides on the rail. I added some metal tape to build up the gears, kind of works. I think I can remake those two parts with a much tighter fit. Hoping...
There is a fair bit that is, knobs, gears and some of the basic metal parts. In my case the focus rack/guide and the bracket that connects the rear standard to the rack is really loose. Pretty...
Really I have to explain myself? It was so cryptic you could not figure it out? Because if someone today was to make a CAD drawing they have to use paper and ruler because its made in the 1950's?...
I'm actually an engineer by trade, making the part is not the issue. Measuring by hand no matter who does it is hard to get really perfect. Always nice if you can find drawings but it was a long shot.
This is a longshot but any chance someone has found or made CAD drawing for the "8x10 Kodak Master View" hardware? Particularly the brass rails and guides? Mine have worn to the point there is just...
Any portrait shooters using Retropan 320 that could post some examples? I spent some time on the forum looking but the only examples were deleted flickr links. Particularly curious if anyone who...
I forgot to hose the lid off my tank and now its got spots of dried fixer. A good deal of water and some scrubbing later and I really cant get it off. Is there something that's safe to dissolve/clean...
Merci mathieu!
This is why I never go to Canada :)
Thank you :) Traveling with 16x20 ambrotypes is planned for next year. I will let you know how it works out!
Thank you, I will see if I can contact him.
You would think carrying that 8x10 all over Belgium I would loose some weight. But no, I always enjoy too much beer and chocolate when I am there...
Yea, B&H and Freestyle both do and both carry tri-x. But outside them its random online stores as far as I know. I guess there really are not many people still shooting it.
I fly mostly with Delta, it all falls within the size limits. The Lowepro backpack is exactly the max size allowed for carry on and the laptop bag falls under the personal item since it can fit under...
Thanks Pali! Don't worry, I like most wont be bothering to respond to the other guy who will come to rant nonsense again. What you described is what I see in my Epson vs a friends IQSmart2, it just...
Heard back from "fotoguy" they don't carry 8x10 film. Biggest city in Belgium and no 8x10 film... Sad days...
Once I get the scanner i'm just going to start stock piling it in a freezer. Hard to say how long they will keep making it. Plus with the prices going up every year I might even save a little money....
Thanks, I will give it a try.
Yea, I'm planning to start ordering it bulk but its a lot to spend up front for the amount I need. I have found film curl depends on humidity and water temp during the wash. It never drys perfectly...
No, this is a backup plan if I run out. Hoping it was a big enough city someone might have it on hand so I can run over if needed.
Is there anyone from Belgium that knows of a store in Brussels or Liege that might have 8x10 film in stock? I sent "fotoguy" an email but have not heard back.
Yea, i did test, you can 2 fit two with envelopes in a single box. It only took me about 15 minutes to break it all down and tape it up. And it fits quite perfectly with 50 sheets.I was worried about...
I have and its not that simple, at least not anymore. You have to fill out the app online, takes X number of days to approve then you have to set a date for the interview within 30 days or do it...
That was just a personal comment, i was not really looking to debate it. However I'm not sure if you have flown international recently but thats not quite how it works. You have to go thru customs...
Just a quick guide of sorts for anyone coming into 8x10 who travels. I will update how it all worked out after my trip.

I fly to shoot 5-6 times a year on average. With 4x5 I could fit...
Dont bother replying to pere he is just trolling, most of what he says is false/made up. The rest is just copy/paste from google. As the original poster the other real photogs have answered my...
Thanks Pali! The fine detail is what I was most curious about. its fairly evident in the scans. Shooting portraits I really want that detail, kids with fair skin wash out quickly, just a lack of...
Ha Bob, i'm a gluten for punishment so im posting once more then im done too!
Pere, I honestly have never seen anyone say so much but really say so little. You joined this forum this month. These...
Pere im going to be honest, you make my face hurt. There is just so much wrong information mixed in with completely irrelevant information I can't if figure out your point. Bottom line, the image is...
Thank you everyone! I think i agree with almost everyone. The v700 does a decent job, i have and printed and sold work from from it. But in the end it just does not have the detail it should.
...
16 bit saves is the one area thats very murky. I have to be able to scan 16 bit "raw". I have seen people having issues with saving in DT depending on versions and OS's. Thou im not sure what the...
I have been scanning 4x5 with a v700 for years now And I was happy with it. Since going up to 8x10 this year the jerry-rigging is annoying and I just don't feel like I'm getting the sharpness and...
Thanks for the heads up on the "black bags". Could be useful. The trouble with 8x10 from kodak is only getting it in 10 shot boxes. They just dont have a lot of room, i can get 20 in there with...
Finding the big 100 sheet 8x10 boxes for fiber paper is also on my list if I can find some. Have to take the film out of the wrappers, use the light tight bags and maybe deal with scratches but you...
