Good info, thanks for sharing your first hand experience. Always the best!

Thanks Oren, really helpful. I appreciate you taking time to help.

I sure hope that Adox provides some documentation in the future.

Thanks Oren, have you used Adostab II?

I normally squeegee my prints as the very last thing before placing on drying screen and wanted to confirm this would not interfere with Adostab II...

Hi, I recently purchased the updated version of AdoStab II (Sistan) to treat my RC silver gelatin prints and I am puzzled there are no actual instructions for use on the bottle other than suggested...

Thanks for sharing this, really helpful and fantastic image too by the way.

I was looking at the specs on the 240 G-Claron and it doesn't appear to have enough coverage for 8x10 at only 298. Is there something that I don't know possibly? My intention is to use the wide...

Hi, I am going to start looking for a wide angle lens for my 8x10.

I currently have a 300mm F5.6 as my normal lens and the 150XL F5.6 as my very wide lens.

I am looking for a good quality...

Anyone tried exposing J. Lane dry plates under LED studio lights vs. UV light outdoors?

If so, any input or advice is appreciated.

Thank you,

Larry

Has anyone used the newer Fujifilm Full Speed Blue (RX-N) as large format negatives?

If so, what are your thoughts about this film as a negative?

Any tips about handling, processing,...

Thank you

Anyone know where the serial number is located on the Linhof 45S Technikardan?

Thanks

Can someone confirm the Schneider Super-Angulon XL 47mm F5.6 in Copal 0 will work on the Linhof Master Technika on a flat lens board?

Hi, yes, I did read the manual, twice actually, and I even searched the PDF as well to ensure I didn't miss anything.

I can't find anywhere in the manual where it specifies the exposure time or...

Hi, did you see Greg's comment about this earlier in the thread?

With being a novice at sensitometry, I am trying to make sure I am clear on these issues so I can go buy a unit that not only...

Hi Greg, the way that I read IC-Racer's tests on the LED Blue/Green Sensitometer's via the Photrio threads was that they performed properly for him in regards to the full range of tests and validated...

Randy, the issue with the X-Rite densitometers is they don't publish the exposure time or the illuminance value of the light source, both of which are needed to build characteristic curves. Based on...

Just watched it Greg. I gave it a thumbs up and commented and posted a question for you too (Stealth Van Life is my YouTube handle).

Hi Luis, I understand and agree with you. I am talking about using a sensitometer for creating a characteristic curve, determining D-min/D-max, Contrast Index, and exposure latitude. Basically, all...

Hi, I want to make sure I am clear on a point that you made in the first link below.

Are you saying that the blue and green LED sensitometers that are readily available today which were designed...

Very helpful for sure. Thank you!

Hi Greg, really fantastic that you are producing these videos. I watched all 3 videos you have published so far and they are very well done. Great job!! Looking forward to watching the rest in this...

Thanks Keith. I will watch it and see if it will help fill in some missing info for me. Have a good weekend.

Larry

Thanks. I just purchased the kindle edition of BTZS and will check it out for more details that will likely help fill in the cracks.

That seems to be the path that is most likely I think.

The one question I have is how would you know where to start with an exposure time using the enlarger light source for the step wedge...

Hi, being new to this, I was thinking a sensitometer would simplify the exposure process of the step wedge by not having to expose a test wedge and then either use a lux meter or convert EV values to...

Hi, I feel embarrassed... I have a typo in the title and in the original message. I meant to say "Need Guidance on Getting a Sensitometer". I guess I had densitometer on the brain. I have an...

I have been reading the Kodak Basic Photographic Sensitometry Workbook H-740 and I think I am ready to start testing my film and developer combinations for creating a characteristic curve,...

Hi Ken, thanks for your thoughtful reply and information.

I am planning to do some tests this weekend, assuming the weather provides the opportunity.

It is funny you mentioned the white and...

Ken, this is simply amazing. This could open up a lot of opportunities for my photography that simply didn't exist before. I have visited many historic places and simply walked away because I was...

Any tips or insights into how to go about doing this?

Hi Bob, it works perfectly at all distances. I shot 3 sheets of film to confirm. 1 at infinity, 1 at about 100 ft. and 1 at about 25 ft. All three were tack sharp on the film as they were on the...

Thanks Corran. I was able to get this all setup today! I do have a mismatched cam and it works great. I even exposed and developed a couple sheets of film to confirm what I was seeing in the...

Hi Bob, I was able to get the cam and lens all setup and everything works perfectly. I even exposed a couple sheets of film to confirm. I am super happy about this!

In regard to the couple of...

Thank you Bob. It worked. Much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Bob. Yes, I have a properly cut cam for my lens.

I know the default answer is to send the camera to an authorized service center for setup and calibration, but I simply don't have months to...

I want to make sure I fully understand how to determine infinity for all of my various large format lenses.

I assume that I will need to know the flange focal distance for the lens and then from...

Is a special tool needed to remove a cam from a Linhof Technika camera?
