It was just a lovely softly lit area so no lighting was involved. It is just a straight scan but will get in the darkroom soon. Thanks

A blood pressure monitor bulb works fine. Search the ebay and there will be lots of them for very litttle money
0.5 to 1 is not far away.
I hope you didn't take the film out in the safelight too.
A nice test shot with my new old C. Burr 9 inch petzval.

Thanks for the info Steven. Seems like it is not the hood then. Cheers.
I have a nice 300mm Lerebours but it vignettes a little at infinity on 8x10. I think it's the lens hood that is the problem. On mine it doesn't seem to want to screw off, any ideas how to get it...
I have used black aluminium sheet, the type folks use for shooting collodion plates onto.
Is it a bit of overkill for b+w?
i use some magnetic sheet which cuts nicely and you can sandwich the film between 2 sheets. i use a linotype circon which has a focus mechanism built in so don't worry about the thickness of the...

can't you just use the image size in photoshop to change them to 300 dpi and turn off the "resample image" off. this won't change the physical size of the file

jpeg compression depends on the detail in the image, the more detail the less compression you gets.
just put the camera on there backwards to tilt up. the head is the same on most tripods
is it not like the rodagons, you can pull the aperture ring out for stopless or push it back in for clickstops?
the 8.5 inch, i think it is, f2.9 pentac is nice on my 5x7 graflex.

5x7 alumitype on a 12 inch lerebour et secretan.
the 4x5 back is set up on the first pics and the extra back and bellows are the 5x7 which just slots/screws in place of the 4x5 back, doesn't look fishy to me and i have no connection with the seller.
i have quite a nice one and it too has the writing on the edge of the front and back lenses. haven't got it mounted yet but it's quite large with 3 inch diameter glass.
oops, i thought it was the flat orbital processor. cheers
i use 350ml and just agitate 5 sec every minute and i do not use the base bit, no unevenness in any of my negs then. you might have to cut the fins off under the lid though as they can cause problems.

think you have to use the B setting with a locking cable release on this shutter.

the 8x10 ones do not fit into the 5x4's water bath. one will fit just about diagonally but won't spin that well.
