Should be 700 dpi across 12 inch bed and it's 17 inches long.

There is a gentleman from Northern CA that sells refurbished UMAX scanners with a 1 year warrenty. I bought a Mirage II tabloid size scanner with 700 dpi across the 11 inch bed and 1400 over the...

Chris,

Try running a batch process to open and rename the files as Ttiffs or something other than what they are. PS may be able to do that without opening the file all the way. You can then try...

Start off with 4x5. After that, you have 3 options, contact print, buy an enlarger, or go the digital route. You can make really nice 8x10 prints with a HP 7660 ($80 refurbished) and an old sacnner...

So I was looking through AA's polaroid book, in the....reading room, this morning and came across Don Leavitt's formula (30 g Potassium alum, 90 g sodium bisulfite, 1 L water). Has anyone tried...

'Bought a process Paragon from our own Jim Galli to use with an 11x14 homebuilt. Being a barrel wasn't going to be a problem for that use, but now I want to use it in my 4x5 and find the lack of a...

"When I graphed this in excel"

Type A, huh doc?!?!? ;-)

This is an old and tired argument. The old timers say no problem while the new environmental types say never. Of course the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I thought Robert Chapman handled it...

I don't think Microtek even knows. Vaporware?

Looking for a cheap lens to cover 11x14. Don't care to much about movements as this is going on a box camera. Any specials out there?

Also, can anyone point me to some info on using lith film in...

What do you want to spend?

You can get refurbished umax powerlook 1000 for $269 (email umax outlet store on ebay). You can buy Linotype Jade 2 from MPG for $200. You can find old UMAX's on eBay...

With black and white film, it's pretty hard to go wrong with sunny 16 plus one stop, plus two if you know the scene has shadow detail you want.

Zone system is great and having a basic...

John,

Best answer I've read in a long time!

The minolta F is a great deal, you should be able to find one for under $200.

I've searched ULF cheap and ULF pinhole with no hits. I suprised this hasn't been talked about, but here goes.

Anyone play around with ULF (11x14 and up) pinhole cameras? I really would like to...

Developer!?!?!?!?! Is that the thingy in my computer that takes the RAW images and turns them into something I can see on screen? (Sorry couldn't resit :-))

The 4870 can be found at Costco.com for $399 (not the pro version). I don't think you have to be a memeber to buy, they have a liberal return policy, and you can return it to a local store. I...

If you want new and light, I think this is hard to beat.

Toho 8x10.

Good luck.

Chris,

Are you giving the stuff away? Otherwise, isn't this a for sale ad in disguise? Don't get me wrong, I think we should have FS post here that could be deleted in 30 days or so. I'm just...

Turner Bellows (search yahoo) will sell you a functional if not pretty bellows for around $185. At least that's what I paid for my Korona bellows.

Bill,

I'm not trying to be difficult!:-) Type 52 is supposed to make the nicest prints. I want to know how close are the prints from 54 and 55? I don't really care about speed or coated vs...

From what I gather Type 52 is the best but is not avaliable to me locally. It might be easier to use either 54 or 55, that way I wouldn't have to stock as many boxes at home (both are stocked by my...

Frank, I've only dabbled in LF. The big time crunch is darkroom so I'm hoping the Polaroid will help me get more use out of my LF gear. I've got a project that just cries out to be shot LF.
...

I thinking about starting a project using Polariod 4x5 film and specifically 55. I was hoping to get a useable print and a negative that could be used for scanning (it could be a little thin). ...

While I like both Dan and Jorge's answers, you need to go to Epson and download a driver. They may not have an XP driver for your printer, but if the have a win2000, that should work. I had to do...

Brian, Julian, thanks for the feedback.

Brian my comment on enlargment comes from the fact that you can read many threads over at our former home about how 35mm scanned at 4000 is the same 4x5...

Is anyone scanning BW 8x10 neagatives and printing them at a high DPI (between 480-720) on an inkjet printer? How do these compare to contact prints after they've been framed and mounted?

I know...

Rich,

I agree with Tim. I would gladly pay $8.50 for a print and a negative (I'm aware that most folks expose differently for print and neg, I've found I can get reasonable negs with only...

There was some talk about 8x10 P/N being tested on the other LF forum. I was wondering if anyone has heard any more about this? I would absolutely love to see this product come to market. Maybe we...

Update:

11x14 got shelved. Thanks to all who replied.

Thinking about a 210mm lens for 8x10. Of course, the Claron G new at ~ $400 fro m Robert White (and I think Badger is matching) seems to be the best/most afford able choice for mostly BW contacts...

Hi all.

Does anyone have a copy of this 1989 view camera article in an emailable form? I'm pretty sure I want to use Divided D23 for my LF negs. Is anyone else using this developer? I'd love to...

Dave and Dave,

Thanks for the response. I'm thinking I may want to try film holders, but that might be a little to much. View cameras are so simple, as long as you get the groundglass depth...

I know that 11x14 is the largest film holder that comes in a standard size (lisc o/fidelity style). I was hoping someone could provide the dimensions of these h olders including the all important...

I shoot MF (70%) and 35 (30%). I have not tried LF, though it's been in the back of my mind, for sure.

Hi all,

Looking through my recent work ( hobby only ) I?m just not satisfied with what I getting. The photos are nice, but I?ve seen them before ( mostly landscapes ). I think it?s time to do...
