Thanks. I have a second person handy :)
Thanks for the information on setup time and materials.
At the B&H sale price, I won’t save enough from DIY to make it worth my while, and I have a summer home where the popup will be very useful....
Great that someone has the Ilford. How much time does it take to put it up?
If you want to shoot 5x7, I think that you should find out what the availability of 5x7 film is in Japan and what the price is. Here in the U.S., 5x7 black and white film is readily available. So is...
B&H is currently selling Ilford’s popup darkroom for US$210, which is $130 off: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1684626-REG/ilford_1181926_pop_up_darkroom.html
Also, see this thread:...
B&H is selling Ilford’s popup darkroom for US$210, which is $130 off. Ilford and others have made videos about setting it up.
I live in an apartment and use a bathroom. From a comfort perspective,...
Having made proofs with both an Epson V750 and a low wattage light hanging from a bathroom ceiling, the Epson is plainly easier and faster. However, the V750's successor, the V850, costs US$1300 plus...
Just had a look at Intrepid's website. Very reasonably priced, and film looks to be fairly readily available. Interesting.

From the NY Times, updated yesterday... This will be the first significant show...
That was hilarious :)
At 7 hours in good weather, not a short jaunt on the ferry. I usually take the overnight.
Halifax to Corner Brook... Note the French islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

I visit Halifax most summers. It's on the way to the overnight ferry to Port aux Basques, which I take to get to a summer home in Newfoundland. I usually bring along a large format camera, but I'm...
Coincidentally, from tonight's Super Bowl (Extended Cut). Super Bowl commercials have "extended cuts" now?

My Filter Dude 58mm wide angle adapter arrived this morning. Looks fine. No idea what the reason was for the delay. Hopefully, Kiwi will receive his soon.
I stated a fact. If you want to pretend otherwise, go ahead. I'm required to prove what the centre filter characteristics are for your own lens?
You also misconstrued my post, which was a single...
A participant in this forum just purchased that lens. He plans to use it for 8x10. Right now, he's looking for a bag bellows for it. When that's organised, I'm hoping that he'll post one or two...
So you think that the two numbers refer to different versions of the lens. You certainly get points for inventiveness. Don't you think it's curious that centre filters have two numbers as a matter of...
You should also set Dan Fromm straight. He thinks that the rear thread is 82mm and the front thread is 112mm. That's why centre filters are described with two numbers, in this case 82/112.
A link...
Daan Fromm's chart at Galerie Photo and the Walker Camera site say that the Schneider centre filter front thread is 86mm. If they're wrong, you could help by setting them straight, maybe even in a...
If you're going to use a centre filter, you might as well be aware of the fact that the Schneider front thread is 86mm and the Rodenstock's is 112mm.
I can think of only two reasons for duplicates. The first is, you aren't confident that the first shot was exposed properly, to the point that you're re-doing the shot. In that case, you might as...
This morning, Filter Dude sent me an e-mail saying that my December 24th order has shipped via USPS. The e-mail doesn't contain an explanation for the delay. I guess he just wasn't able to operate...
Further to the post four above, Ries has acknowledged that there's a problem and says that it has taken steps to rectify it. It basically says that it wants to start on a new foot. That being the...
This just came to my attention. On October 10th, Ries (Spencer) acknowledged that there are problems and said that it's fixed them. See the quoted e-mail in the post below. None of Ries's e-mail...
That's precisely what you're doing. Your excuse three posts up, being countermanded by the basic facts, now you've concocted new excuses. These aren't even the first times that you've invented...
Read Svein's post. Ries confirmed receipt of payment a month ago, has been silent ever since, has not shipped the head that he's paid for and is ignoring his attempts to communicate.
The problem isn't your tone, it's attacking someone with insinuations that are not only false, but 180° removed from reality.
What?
I've talked about Lee because it's the holder system that I'm familiar with. I made a point of saying in my first post "I'd suggest that you also have a look at competing products by Formatt...
Ha! I should have read more carefully. I didn't know that Sensei makes its own filter holder, which it calls a "100mm universal holder". Sneaky marketing, for people like me who aren't paying...
Why do you neglect to mention that the Lee filter holder is $115, is much lighter than the matte box part of Smallrig's product, and that the hood is an option that many would forgo, using a hand or...
I got the weight from Smallrig's website and B&H's specifications. The manufacturer and the retailer say that the matte box itself weighs 238g (8.4oz). Lee's holder weighs 54g (1.9 oz). B&H says that...
Cool, looks like I thought it would. I've been to Egypt, but not Alexandria, and mention of it never fails to bring to mind Constantine Cavafy, Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet and André...
And 6-button double-breasted suits are apparently coming back in style. The absence of cuffs on his trousers (at least, I don't think he's wearing cuffs) suggests a fairly formal portrait. No...
As I understand it, that Smallrig matte box can't be used with Bob's Fuji lens. His lens has a 52mm thread. The Smallrig matte box requires a lens with a filter thread that's 67mm, 72, 77, 82, 92 or,...
Thanks. I ordered a 58mm wide angle adapter ring from him four days ago, December 24th. He's acknowledged the order and I'm one state over. I should receive the adapter in the next few days. If I...
For square filters, I think that 100mmx100mm is probably used by the great majority of 4x5 photographers. How often does one see smaller or larger sizes discussed? That said, if one can get away with...
Good for you. I've been using Lee100 for two years, for both stills and video work, and I'm very happy with the performance of the system and the hood. If you check out the Blackmagic forum, you'll...
Lee100 filters are 100x100 except for graduated ND filters and some specialty filters. There's a Lee150 system which I don't expect you'll need. You could also look at Lee85 and Lee Seven5, which...
Now I don't know what to think. I now have a Heliopan 6-stop neutral density filter. The box says "SLIM version". The front threads are shallower than normal. The shallow thread happens to fit with a...
