Camera alone, in excellent cosmetic and working condition, should go for about $2,000. I can't tell enough about the other stuff is to speculate on its value.

Salt Hill, if you can find one and if by best you mean sturdy, precise, solid, well-built, etc. But there are others that do just fine and that are a lot easier to find.
Bruce Barnbaum handed out a copy of "Art And Fear" to each of the participants in one of his workshops some years ago. Excellent book.
Yes, you have to remove it to get the holder in the camera after focusing and composing. Putting it on to compose and focus, then removing it to insert the holder, wasn't a problem for me but if...
All of my holders had those "L" things but I never bothered using them for the reason you mentioned - too many of them were loose and rotated away from the top of the dark slide. I also didn't use...
Different methods for developing film- tank, tray, tubes, drums, sloshers, etc. - has been discussed here many times. There should be a lot of information and suggestions in the archives but most of...
Don't sell or throw away your BTZS hood. I started out in LF photography with a classic "blanket" dark cloth bought from Zone VI Studios I think. Heavy, hot, inconvenient to take on and off then...
I was under the impression that the negatives bequeathed to the University of Arizona were there for study by students, scholars, etc. and that exhibitions and print sales were the province of the...
I was the one who started the "mumbo jumbo" discussion. Actually I first used "mumbo jumbo" to paraphrase something Ansel Adams said about Minor White, not something I was calling his ideas myself....
Toyo boards are a different size than Linhof boards so I doubt your Linhof recessed board would work on your Ebony without an adapter. I had an Ebony 45Te and used my Linhof boards with it. They...
Love his work, wish I could see the exhibit. He's critiqued my work several times. He said it was spectacular so I really liked him.
Just kidding about the spectacular part, he did critique my...
Dan and Bill - sorry about that, I don't know what the problem is. I bookmarked that link and it usually takes me right to LF. But when I copied it and posted it here it did the same thing for me...
Hi Dennis - Thanks, no problem.
Since I was the one who mentioned Caponigro, White, and Bullock I assume this is directed at my message. If you read it again I think you'll see that I didn't malign any of the three. I said I...
It's not a matter of agreeing with anything, it's a question of ability to understand. If you can read some of Paul Caponigro's writing or writings about him, or Minor White's or Wynn Bullock's, and...
Yes, you're correct. 10mm of shift using 33mm film would be about 27% of the film in the long dimension. To get 27% of 4x5 film in the long dimension would require 33.75mm of shift. The focal length...
I hope you're kidding. I really appreciate your posts about exhibits. Even though I can't get to them I always go to the links you provide and see what's there. E.g. when I went to the second link in...
I think it was Ansel Adams who in talking about Minor White said something to the effect that he was a great photographer but he should forget all the mumbo jumbo. I feel the same way about Paul...
That's basically it. If you watch the video that's linked in Merg's first post in this thread you'll see him explain exactly how he did it.
I lived in central Oregon (about 4 hours east of the Pacific coast). Also photographed in Washington. I can't imagine how you'll get around those two States without renting a car. As for food, you...
As someone has already pointed out, "pictorialism" and "impressionism" are two different things practiced by two different groups working in two different media. While his criticisms of pictorialists...
As is almost everything else about the IIIs and the later versions. As I learned the hard way, even things that look identical on the outside aren't necessarily identical on the inside.
Two to eight hours? But . . . but . . . I thought that "digital" only required the push of a button to make a masterpiece.
FYI - There's no such camera as a "Linhof Master Technika III."
So with your Zone III exposure you thought your brightest important highlight with normal development would have fallen on Zone VIII. With your one-stop overexposure it presumably will now fall on...
1. You asked whether any new and improved (relative to the 700/750) scanners have been introduced since 2006. None that I know of. A few years ago there were many rumors about Epson bringing out a...

I don't think this is an old "station," my recollection is that it was a house. If you're there again walk across the road to the general store and ask the store owners the story behind it. If I...
If the architecture that you do is exterior I wouldn't buy a camera with a fixed back. I used to do quite a lot of exterior architecture with 4x5 and 8x10 cameras and I found a back with movements...
One of his former assistants whose workshop I attended said that Adams estimated that he produced about 50,000 photographs in his lifetime, of which about 1,500 were worth doing something with (e.g....
To see the techniques used by Ralph Gibson (and many other well-known photographers) try this book - http://www.amazon.com/Darkroom-Wynn-Bullock/dp/0912810203. It's a fascinating book, available used...
Yes, there's quite a bit of information about the donations. I remember reading an article about them somewhere, can't remember where or much about it except what I posted above.
Adams spent much...
This sentence in the Ilford announcement seems a little odd - "If you know of any please ask them to get in touch through news@harmantechnology.com." This seems to say that "they" rather than you...
I built a light box that wasn't nearly as nice as this one but easier to build and did the job. It was basically just a rectangular plywood box with no bottom and was open on the two long sides,...
Neil - This link will take you directly to the ebay LF section for browsing.

You might read this and see if it contains anything useful. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/why_are_my_prints_too_dark.shtml
Apart from that, you might try Quadtone RIP ("QTR") instead...
Reciprocity failure does vary with films, though for b&w film the tables I use only separate TMax films from all others (TMax films can be exposed for a longer time than others before reciprocity...
I just bookmark this address and it brings up the large format section of ebay "film cameras." Of course there are things in there other than large format cameras but that's always been the case...
These were taken as part of an assignment from Fortune magazine but never used by the magazine. Adams apparently forgot about them and years later found them and donated them as well as other many...
Right, the Epson software isn't Vuescan or Silverfast. Epson software is simpler to use than Silverfast and Vuescan but doesn't give you as many options and controls as both of them do (I've used all...
