that big plug in the center is an 8 pin connection which both sends power to the timer and recieves. If you have an original DeVere timer it should plug right in, otherwise you'll need to make an...
I believe Richard Ritter is the one who designed that enlarger, or at least was at Zone VI when it was designed. If anyone knows the details of how it works and if upgrading is possible, I would...
Would this work? It's 115v rather than 240, but would it work if you used a 115v circuit and different bulbs? This is an extra one which came with my enlarger when I picked it up. This one has been...
I'm curious, how does the u channel fit into a contact printing frame?
I made the first print with the enlarger yesterday, and it works very well. perhaps too well. By that I mean the LEDs are too bright, to make this print I needed to stop down to f/45 on the lens,...
Thanks for testing! I've also got a rodagon 300 non g, but am hoping the 240 will work, as the ceilings in my basement where I eventually hope to have the darkroom aren't very tall.
Probably not black, since that doesn't really fit the aesthetic I want. Likely a matte grey.
Looking at the rodagon G 240mm, there might be some fall off towards the edges, but that could be...
No enlargements yet… hopefully soon. Which 240mm did you test?
Do you have one of those? I’ve seen it mentioned several times, but haven’t come across any images on the internet
My last negative carrier was inspired by his, using springs and tiny holes punched in the negative corners. For this I'm wanting to avoid punching holes. Hopefully it will work, but if not I can go...
The enlarger chassis and light source are now finished. The negative carrier had some issues, so I've got to make a new negative carrier, but that's the only thing left to do, and I have another...
Awesome! Your work is always inspiring
Here's an overdue update on the enlarger design, the chassis is finished, and hopefully the light source will be finished soon. I need to fix some electrical issues in the light source, as it seems I...
You can buy liquid light at B&H, but I think it may be easier to use a digital heat transfer method, also safer as I'm not sure what chemicals are in liquid light
Awesome! I meant to include a foot switch port on my controller, but I forgot and assembled it without. I may take it back apart to add that, but it was a pain to put together so for now I'm going to...
I now have all the enlarger pieces, and will be building it over the next week. The last parts which arrived today were the sheet metal pieces, which I ordered from a company in Reno called...
Hey fellow large format enthusiasts,
I was looking to see if anything like Ansel Adams' Exposure Record book is still being made, but I couldn't find anything like it new which would work for me....
Film prices are going up, but that's to be expected from an industry which though getting more popular, is still very niche compared to what it was a few decades ago. I think the increases we're...
I think casting will produce far better lenses than printing, even with SLA printers I think you'll get small deformations inside which can cause trouble.
I think the easiest route would be to 3d...
For those of you wanting to get into DIY optics, a contemporary photographer you may want to check out is Susan Burnstine. I've been reading this thread as it's progressed, but hadn't remembered her...
Hmm, I'm not very interested in scanning my film that way, but I am intrigued by his comment that True Vue Museum glass prevents newton rings. If this is true for enlargers as well, it would be a...
just read that thread of yours, nice work! could any of these be mounted on a LF camera for close focusing without needing lots of bellows length, thus allowing for faster captures?
looks great! I love how the wanderer cloths add some excitement to the camera, most dark cloths are fairly boring
Most developers can be used to create any contrast you want. the way film processing works is that the exposure sets where your least exposed area is, and the amount of time you develop it for places...
Excellent! I’ve finalized the parts list for the enlarger I’m building, and just this evening got back the last quote I was waiting on, so I’m almost ready to build mine as well. It’s pretty amazing...
I was thinking that may work, but I believe the power would fluctuate too much, which could make timing inconsistent or even damage the arduino.
It would be cool if there were electric contacts on the lens board, somewhat like DX coding on 35mm canisters, for the camera to know what the focal length is and automatically adjust its AF...
Great! I can mount my 48" aero ektar to this camera! :P
This is an awesome project, I look forward to more updates!
Expanding on the second point about self publishing.
Self publishing is very difficult and can be very expensive, but is sadly the only way to publish photo books these days. I'm currently...
My understanding is that the first lens straightens the rays, and then the second lens condenses them onto the enlarging lens. If the light passing through the negative were parallel, you would only...
In high school I took a photography class where we were taught on 35mm cameras. In my senior year we were given the project of experimenting with something new. The school had a few medium format...
the cenozoic era's got to be my favorite, can't say I know of much photography from other eras though
Thinking about my voltage converter idea, I'm guessing it wouldn't actually work since the output would probably fluctuate too much and could cause inconsistencies. However, looking at Mouser, I see...
A foot switch should be very easy to add to the controller. You could wire another switch to the arduino and have both pins activate the same timer loop. Or, maybe simpler, set the switch circuit to...
they re stock them occasionally, usually with new patterns. I think they do most patterns only once.
I’m getting an error 404… can you check the link? Sounds interesting!
I didn't get the snaps. I don't think they're needed for 8x10, maybe more so for smaller cameras when there is more slack in the cloth
I talked with the company which made the DMX decoder, and I was able to find a solution to the fading, so now all values can be used accurately for printing
I have an electronic packard shutter I can add if I need to, but I think the solution will just be to disable brightness less than 10%. I can’t envision any scenario where that much filtration would...
