  1. Re: 8x10 shooters, can HP5 come close to Tri-X 320?

    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...
  2. Re: 8x10 shooters, can HP5 come close to Tri-X 320?

    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...

    Re: 8x10 Kodak Master View - CAD Drawings?

    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.

    Re: 8x10 Kodak Master View - CAD Drawings?

    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.
