Patrick, is it just me or does our boat look a little empty? Are there really so few young people out there dedicated at slugging around LF?! I'm 25, using 4x5 and then 5x7 for the last few...

So while everyone is going quiet around the dying fire I'll just shove another wet log in the coals(a few disapproving grimaces from across the settling cloud of sparks and ash). Ah-hem... ...

It's already been said, but the 138 Laborator really is great to work with. I only got one recently and can't say I've ever worked with a more solid enlarger. Used they go for a decent price...

"What is art?" Many years back when photographers used to drag tents with them to do their wet plate processing it was a struggle to produce good results, yet they did and few among us(certainly...

I'm busy working out some coverage issues while looking for an older Schneider S ymmar 135mm or 150mm. The 135mm has an image circle of about 190mm and the 150m m an image circle of about 210mm. ...

Hmmm, Ben, I have to agree the Tachi would not at all be a bad choice either, and Brian has a point. But about dropping the bed - it is something you can get used to. Dang!!, I almost forgot -...

I have a 5x7 tech III which I'm really happy with (movements/shifts - enough already!). It's about as fragile as a cannon ball, only half as heavy, not more difficult to operate and much,much more...

So it seems a few years would make little more difference than a few hours on image stability. (I'll go check the stock solution again!)

Thanks for all the replies Ryan

While emptying a shelf over the weekend I stumbled upon an old undeveloped roll of fp4. Dilute-static in id11 and some time later found myself pondering over l atent image stability whilst holding...

Landscapes/portraits in 6x6(old hass MF) and 5x7 techIII, FP4 and HP5 in id11 or HC, FB(some RC) selenium toned. I work enough every day in software def. to believe that art isn't art if it is too...

When I first picked up my tech 5x7 I thought: "#$%@!, this is heavy! I'm going to have to shoot less," And I did. And I still had more good shots. Let's face it folks: A beer just tastes so...

I have the opportunity to add a Schneider 150mm Super Symmar HM to my 5x7 tech o utfit, but it is in a Sinar DB mount. I basically do landscapes mostly and ther efore was thinking of using it as a...

I have been with photo.net MF for some time now and from a software developers point of view I only have good things to say. It is much more reliable and user-friendly than the majority of...

Adrian, now there I thought I was losing it! About three months ago it happened - a thin 5% grey line +-3mm wide exactly parallel to one side all the way through. On about half of the paper in...

Thanks for all the replies. Considering what I've hear so far I now have myself torn between the 240 symmar s and the 150 super symmar HM!!(both are multicoated) The 150 being maybe more suited...

I've currently got my eye on a Schneider 240mm Symmar-S (used) and need advice against/for buying it. I will use it primarily for landscapes(6x17 or 12) and p ossibly also for enlarging(??). I...
