Lightzone looks like it's one step away from abadon-ware unfortunately. The project site is down, and the code was forked from a now defunct commercial product. Basically it's a labor of love with...

I actually have a 8x10 Gowland (not-so PocketView). It's very light, the problem is the 8x10 film holders really add up in weight fast. Not to mention the lenses are heavier (although there are many...

Cool site, I just ordered a body cap pinhole for my digicam. Decided it might be time to try pinhole photography again.

Or maybe it was just fixed focus at infinity, a poor man's telephoto for a 35mm camera.

Maybe a reseller or they just decided to list some cameras on EBay to increase sales? The prices don't scream "close-out" to me.

Acetone, as previously mentioned- also it always help to utilize a bench vise for situations like this. Either by using the vise to hold the lens (wrap it up in a rag so it doesn't scratch it) or by...

This looks very interesting. I'm assuming this means workers can avoid the current shortage of polymer plates (caused by the CPU chip shortage) and still practice photogravure?

Can you try cleaning the fungus? Or is it in between elements? If cleaned it should not get worse. The small coating scratch doesn't seem like an issue to me, enlarging or not I doubt you could tell...

We once ran into some backpackers heading down from a very steep pass in the Olympic mountains, about 5000 feet of elevation loss- pretty much the biggest elevation drop on a trail I've ever...

If you don't keep food in a chest freezer and don't open it much you will get much less frost. It's not too bad.

Is the scanner actively scanning the whole 15 minutes? It might be tricky to tell in Epson Scan if this is actual scan time or postprocess time. Vuescan makes it much more obvious as the scan will...

If you scan digitally, focus stacking might be another way to get more depth of field without stopping down. Although you would need to make likely at least 3 exposures for that to work.

You may be able to replace Dichromates in Gum Prints with a Diazo compound. Don't expect it to be plug and play though, it takes quite a bit of fiddling to use these compounds, at least that was the...

Did you try this? https://www.facebook.com/help/242462812536016

It hasn't been that way for years though. I've dealt with the random holds on and off my account that has 100% feedback. Even without the holds, until the buyer got the item and left feedback (or at...

I'm not sure why anyone has an expectation of immediate payout in an online transaction. Even if you signed up for your own Merchant Account and did the payment processing yourself it just doesn't...

You got very luck not hitting much rain. This spring has been colder than average and wetter this year!

Regarding- The Hoh rainforest, it is quite a long trail and does have some nice river...

I would expand that to anyone who goes on a wilderness hiking trail to be honest. The headlines about missing hikers, in usually the same general area every year get tiresome.

Well if it has the bleach and isn't a blix kit then worst case you can pick up Kodak Flexicolor fixer pretty cheap. I think you still need a stabilizer for C-41 though, so if your kit didn't come...

Honestly, that's probably the shutter that lens is going to be fit unless you want to pay to get it remounted into a modern shutter (or get an adapter made etc). When you find out how much that costs...

Keep an eye on the workshops page of the George Eastman museum they occasionally have an "Advanced Dry Plate" workshop. I know that Nick Brandreth, who does the workshops now has done dry plate's as...

Electric trail bikes are getting more and more useful here in the Northwest at least. About once a year a remote road is washed out so vehicles can longer access it, if you can get a bike around the...

What wattage do these need I wonder? Using a European to US transformer might an option if it's not a huge amount of watts.

The new electric crazy guy is Electro Boom

Unlikely no- it's possible an 8x10 digital negative might enlarge to 11x14.. that's about my perception of the quality of it in general.

Then sell them and make a profit. Do you really need 2? (Of course the answer is always yes)

Hm pretty sure I've seen it skip identical files in an import from a SD card before. But I haven't test that directly.

That looks really good and kind of makes me wish I would have setup my darkroom in a shed like you did. How did you attach the plumbing? That seems like for me anyways that would be the main issue.....

I've been contact printing silver gelatin with digital negatives and they are actually very good. You see some inkjet "grain" only very close up- kind of indistinguishable from anything but perhaps...

Lightroom (and probably other similar programs) can Import and Skip duplicates. You could leverage this I believe by telling Lightroom to import in Place, ignoring duplicates. Then once imported...

The Sony Nex 5 series seems to be one of the cheapest mirrorless cameras when considering the quality vs price. It's also very easy to adapt manual lenses to, so you could mount a 55mm Micro Nikkor-...

You might try testing your Xtol using one of the test methods. If your are using a Jobo with lift I would make sure the fluid isn't coming out the wrong hole.. this can be switched in most models...

It's getting harder and harder to find enlargers, many are already in the landfill.

You could also shoot paper negatives with a 24x32, Silver gelatin paper is still available on rolls. Maybe even RA-4 reversal if you want color...

It really depends on the model of medium format camera. Prices for Fuji 645zi models seem particularly over the moon to me. They are an older camera now with some known weaknesses (dying LCD displays...

Easy enough to take digital pictures of an enormous negative and stitch them. That would be if you would want to enlarge them or maybe in this case shrink them (seems more likely). Otherwise why...

If you think you might get into Carbon Printing- you can transfer to the back of an RC print and get a decent Carbon Print. It makes a nice matte surface.

I'm with you on this. Despite the considerable expensive I've thinking of switching to Ilford DD-X. I used it in the past and it lasted a very long time and never failed me. Simple developer to keep...

The wobbling and swaying is something else. Maybe a compact monorail design would be more stable.. like a scaled up Gowland camera perhaps.

My real problem isn't mixing but what to do with 5L of Xtol after it's been mixed. I don't want to resort to 1L soda bottles..
