You're right of course. I somehow didn't think this way.
So it's usable but limits 405 use to either a full pack, sacrificing one sheet per removal at half-pack, or loading/removing half-pack in...

May I ask how did you make Polaroid 405 fit?
True, it fits perfectly with darkslide out but this makes it unusable for any practical purposes...

Mine arrived today in Germany.
I'm thinking about adding a proper ground glass. The big question is whether I should cut a hole in the plastic screen and use it as a frame or sacrifice an old film...

Number 7 here.

Is it the cog lid or the soft cap that's blowing off? Are you using a processor without the lift? With the lift it should be impossible for the cog lid to blow off as the gas would escape through the...

Don't worry about food. There will be no room left for it in the freezer.

This can be caused by chemical fumes. Do you happen to use the smelly Toyo holders?

I do it exactly like this. Glass is placed on wet newspaper to keep it in place.
Get good quality glass. Cheap one, like from inexpensive picture frames, is often wavy and you'll need much more...

I've never opened mine, nor had problems with it, but seeing those plastic gears there really made me worry...

Probably our family photo in next few days, taken on a 5x7 Agfa APX100 glass plate. I need to sort out the self-timer first.

I'm tempted but 50x63 is too bothersome for me to process and difficult to handle. I'd be more happy with something closer to 30x40 or perhaps 40x127 strips that I can then cut to sizes I need.
How...

I'm indeed familiar with Herr Ohm's work. However, I would not use higher voltage with original lamp wires of a Chromega considering that the head is only grounded through the shaky connector on the...

Stabilotime provides 117 v for the fan and 24 v for the bulb, even in Europe.
Have it diagnosed. Stabilotime's internals really are quite simple. If the fan still works the faulty part is likely...

Thanks Dave! I was thinking about writing something similar, mainly to anchor all the information better in my memory. Now I don't need to do this any more.
The tour was worth every minute and penny...

I got my drum scanner for $350.

Plasti Dip. You can even pick your favourite colour.
Clean the tips with alcohol. Use a clothes peg to keep the tongs open and dip them in ONCE. Repeat twice at days interval.

I use two 3W and one 1W DIY ones in my darkroom. Parts are from China via eBay, mounted in old bulb bases. On top of that construction goes a translucent Kodak film canister. LEDs are either 630 or...

As a reference for future readers, I add my results here in international units:

Body with 13x18/7x5 back, smallish tripod plate, no lens: 4100 g
Body with 9x12/5x4 rotating back, smallish tripod...

You can use 25xx reels in the 28xx paper drums without any problems. You can even extend a 25xx drum with a 28xx extension, or the other way around. The height of the drum + extension fits one of the...

Ben,

Something is missing here. Haven't you forgotten to add a voluminous version of Miley?

Larry,

Bricolage places sell glass cutters and cheap picture frames. Cutting thin glass is really easy. Matte privacy film or fine sandpaper will do the rest if you can't find any grinding powder....

It should be affected no more than regular films. It's not X-ray sensitive per se, special film holders are used in hospitals that emit light in X-rays. The light from the holder exposes the film,...

Well, why not.
I don't mind sharing a couple of raw drum scans from 4x5 transparencies @ 4861x6148 and 5291 × 6779. Not really high-end, dry-mount scanned on Screen DT-S1030AI. No post-processing. I...

Newer ones stink. I have three, aquired from different sources, and they all emit a strong, unpleasant smell. Nonetheless they are my favourites.

A piece of self adhesive Velcro is great for this if you can't find a shoe.

As Bernice said, they indeed have a learning curve.
Perfect height adjustment and lots of daylight / eyes closed loading practice is the key. They're pure joy to use after you have befriended them.

This number not the camera's serial number, it's the serial of the lens the focusing cam was made for. Camera numbes were engraved under the rotating back. Mine has an engraving of 9310 and Aug. 61....

Tempered glass is usually drilled before it's tempered. At least that's what they told me at a large tempering factory.

Mine does 60 revolutions per minute with an empty Codrum drum. The power adapter says Durst Conet which, considering Durst's peculiar naming scheme, sounds like the right thing. I haven't used it for...

12V. Any standard power adapter with with at least ~0.5A output should work.

I really recommend to get a Cambo-Linhof adapter and mount your lenses on Linhof boards.

The advantages are:
1. Lenses on Linhof boards are a lot smaller and easier to pack.
2. You can get...

My 10 months old Liebherr GTP 2356-20 chest uses 48 W with compressor running. I've just connected it through a logging device to see how much it eats in a day. It's a 200 litre A+++ device dedicated...

My version of the tank has no divider in the hole which seems to be a good thing because I've been able to fill or empty it in 15 seconds. It's important to hold the tank at a certain angle when...

Should be the same minimum for 12. Jobo recommended to leave middle groove empty for 2509 (but not for 2509n, the new version with wings). I usually pour the entire one-litre bottle in for this size...
