Since the US was never part of the EU, should not impact you at all (unless you moved). Of course the issues with shipping (both international and domestic) affect everyone.

Nicely done. A bit of a film noir quality to these.

I remember reading about your efforts with LED. This approach is interesting in that a cheap tablet could be used IF (big IF) it actually works. IMO, whatever market exists would primarily be in...

I don't think the developer intended this as a light source for an enlarger. If you look at his videos, it''s intended as a device to effectively turn a camera into an enlarger. He discusses how to...

I hadn't thought about contact printing. But for LF, I'm thinking just use the tablet as a light source on top of the negative or a few inches above. The benefit is to allow the use of multi...

A friend shared this with me: http://jakubkotrc.com/paper-exposer

I won't dwell on why I think this is impractical for all but the most casual darkroom use. But what I do think is interesting is...

Bridge on the Superior Hiking Trail. With a bellows-compromised 6x4.5 Zenobia.

That's not how I read it. From my quick layman's read of the bill, the respondent (the person accused of infringement) has 60 days to opt out. If they do not opt out, they are bound by the decision...

If selling through ebay, it can be difficult to justify cancelling a sale because you don't like the delivery address. Though I suppose you could claim another reason. As to confirmed addresses on...

I've been contemplating try xray film in a pinhole camera. But using double sided film seems to entail a lot more work or a lot more risk of scratches. This source says that "Films used in cameras...

I've transported a d5 in a mid-size sedan with fold down seats. Just took the baseboard off and secured the other pieces. It did take 2 of us to load as one person had to be inside the car to lift...

By vintage to you mean flash used in that era, or approximate? I would think the best bet for a flash that is approximately vintage (at least with the later years of the 4x5 press camera) and yet...

I always understood the Raid 1 (disk mirroring) provides backup of the drive and contents. With the caveat that there still should be a backup in another physical location.

Would this generate a lot of heat in a small room?

The adhesive is from the light seal between the Dichroic head and the bellows. It should come off with Goof Off or similar. You'll likely need to replace the light seals on the bottom of the...

When I read Andy F's post I did not interpret it as "bellyaching"; just a statement of what is still required.

Buying bits and pieces for an enlarger can be expensive and the pieces will often...

A nice enlarger when clean and working. The power supply is required. I've read that there is nothing in the power supply that is not repairable by someone with moderate electronics knowledge,...

Thanks.

Maybe your remember the quiz show "Name that Tune". Maybe you were born after dinosaurs were extinct and don't remember that show.

Either way, can you help identify a lensboard I received with an...

Can you expand on this? I, like many, have hard well water and use a ion exchange water softener. I regularly use softened water for mixing developers. And for print washing as well.

I have that one as well. Note that there is a small hole at the bottom to drain the concentrated fixer - whether real or imagined. Because of that and the drains at the top, it has to be used in a...

I think the Mamiya press cameras would be less failure prone.

9" or 10"?

I use these:

I may have missed it, but I did not see much discussion about accessibility. LF takes time to set up and I could imagine many cases where you wouldn't be able to get the shot you wanted because of...

It's not that unusual to buy a car in a neighboring state. And if the car is somewhat uncommon, to buy in a further away state. Also, note that there is a difference between a certified check and a...

Notwithstanding all the other issues that may arise with Paypal, I don't believe you are correct about this. I have a paypal account, with a balance, and I have not signed up for their credit card. ...

The most important thing from a seller perspective was alluded to, but not specifically stated: When you sell an item listed as "used" in most categories, you are guaranteeing that it works. So make...

Great image. 4x5 negative I would assume.

Case in point: ...

It's a longshot, but you could try: https://www.localdarkroom.com/ to see if anyone in the area is offering up their darkroom with an 8x10 enlarger.

Update: KODAK PROFESSIONAL DEKTOL Developer / Packet to make 1 gal (CAT# 516 0270)

Recent batches of DEKTOL with date codes of August 2019 or later have been coming out darker than normal when...

Everything I've read says 60%. Two tiny bottles of commercial sanitizer I have here contain 60%. That said, the ration is still wrong. Should be 2/3 91% alcohol and 1/3 Aloe. FWIW, when I mixed...

You can also generate USPS labels from paypal, even if it wasn't a sale via paypal.

Interesting.

What's the logic for needing distilled water (noting that Jim Noel doesn't use distilled water)? I'll admit I use distilled water for mixing powder developers but I do that more out...

I like to clean used cameras that I obtain with 70% alcohol, especially any eyepieces. This was before coronavirus, but should work well now.

For reference:...

If Hunts can't provide what you need, consider ordering and having it delivered to a PO as "hold for pickup". And there are a number of Boston-area members who might be able to receive a package for...

Firs, I'm using a laptop with 14" screen, with browser in full screen mode, zoom level at 90%, so that impacts my comments. But I don't think that's too restrictive from what many/most will be using...

You can also make your own ground glass fairly easily. May not be as good as the professionally made ones, but handy in a pinch. And you'll have a spare.

And give it overnight.

That 8 qt pot and stove aren't so heavy when "amortized" over 8 scouts and 2 adults. Even the ubiquitous 4 person Timberline tent isn't so heavy when you factor in that it will sleep 4 scouts. My...
