Practice in DAYLIGHT - THEN move to the dark once you've got it totally dialed. It works.

I considered 8x10 many years ago - I borrowed a camera on a few occasions... but it just wasn't for me. I find there are certain formats that just work better for certain people. I cannot really...

I've been using one form or another of the 055 legs for about - oh... since maybe 1984...! The aluminum version though. I really cannot vouch for the carbon fibre. Fan-F-ing-tastic! No problems ever....

Enrico,
I don't think anybody understands you yet. You ask questions about San Jose - and Paul wanted to know whether you mean the San Jose in California or the San Jose in Costa Rica - and you...

it's really just soda water for god's sake..! People mystify me sometimes. Poor, poor victims.

Actually, Mark - it's the other way around! It's very difficult - if not next to impossible to actually get on the faculty of a decent art school unless you are ALREADY a big name - at least...

Wellllll.... I BELIEVE the term "jam nut" is an abbreviation/stupidification of "jamb nut" (see also: duck tape). And - I BELIEVE the original word is "jamb" as this piece tends to function exactly...

So - you feel you've made a series of contenious statements and we should support or deny them? Not TOO clear on what you're looking for.

I seem to recall from first year general chemistry courses I took that ANY chemical reaction will proceed approximately 2X as rapidly for every 4-5 degrees increase in temperature (that'd be CELCIUS...

I think it's been quite established that the swiss, including those working at the factory, and Koch himself - pronounce it SEE-nar. I thought we were bickering about how to pronounce it in...

You say potato...

Well - having spent time in europe and knowing the general effect that complete disrespect of americans for foreign languages - I tend to be as sensitive as I can to this. But...

How about a motorized rollfilm back??

Disfarmer's work, to my mind, is absolutely amazing. You really have to look at some of the right stuff. It's completely insane - in a very subtle kind of way. He was arbus and joel peter witkin all...

"I find that most high contrast/high saturation films exagerate colors and make work look like advertising photographs."

I think that might just be the point - and the market.

My sentiments exactly. There's no benefit to opening them in the field - certainly not for proofing since the exposure varies so much between the two - I think it's only 2/3 of a stop if I remember...

Or else someone could have left it on top of a toaster oven.

I've considered this very question - though have settled with neg for now. The only thing giving me pause for thought is that the lower DR associated with neg film would result in the fact that...

It's actually something I've given serious consideration to - but since have given up on due to the likely ODIOUS learning curve of mechanics/software involved. It's taken me a few years just to get...

Yes, I'd say the basic kit for a Beseler would be a zig-align and a hammer (21 oz. min!).

I'm very new to this site - and I don't want to speak out of turn or seem prematurely critical, but I have to say I'm quite disappointed to see this sort of maligning going on. Yes, I guess it's the...

I don't have much in the way of DV stuff. Do you need a gitzo head (poss. R2, R3 or MAYBE R4) but maybe that's a bit much. I'd have to think about it. Sinar shade brackets & rod? What are you into? I...

Well, then... now that THAT is solved... why don't you sell me YOURS, Clayton???!! (wink)

To tell the truth - I haven't even come CLOSE to being able to be in a position to try out the ultragon......

Clayton... ahhh.. the man who motivated me to purchase an ultragon...!

The only problem is that I don't know if this is upper or...

I'm kind of desperately in need of a set of DV wall mount brackets for a 504 column - anyone have a line on a set??

thx.
