Interesting thread….I was just exploring different options last night.

I use 77mm B&W screw on filters and all my lenses have 77mm step up rings. The problem is I have no control over which parts...

Daniel,

There is this wonderful organization near my home dedicated to all forms of photography. Last year I signed up for the traditional printing classes. In addition, every Monday I get use...

Henry,

I just got back from the lab this evening. I mixed up a batch of XTOL and processed 4 sheets of film as per the Kodak document J-108 dated March 2008.

I composed a shot at noon today...

There have been many well thought out posts presenting excellent arguments in favor of returning to the old forum rules.

Let's imagine for a moment that this support is having an impact on the...

I take people fly fishing for the first time every summer and they always have fun and catch trout!

If you ever come to CA you have a free guide (me) for two days in Northern CA in the shadow of...

I concur and I might even take you fishing?

Well said.......

I was merely using cursing as an example. Pick any context you like.

However, I do agree with you about the axe vs chisel approach.

Oh boy, I haven’t put myself in a vulnerable position since the lounge was for all intents and purposes closed but here goes!

I view this forum as a private home opened up to like minded people to...

I just spoke to Kodak and man do I feel stupid!!!!

You mix all part A in 1/2 gallon of water, then all of part B in same half gallon and then after mixing top off to one gallon!

I just wish...

Based on advice from this forum I am switching from TMAX developer to TMAX RS and Replenisher developer.

I have been overexposing my 4x5 negs by 3 stops to get decent density and some have...

John,

I can’t answer your question. I can only pose a new one.

Today I listened to “Somebody Like You” by Van Morrison and “Mean Disposition” by Muddy Waters. One had an “Allegiance to...

Ken,

I looked at your images and i love how sharp they are and how they really "pop" right off the screen. My question is how much does pyro contribute to these great qualities vs using T-Max RS?

QT,

This website and forum are almost irreplaceable as a source of information for experienced and inexperienced photographers alike. Nothing can be more important than ensuring the health and...

I am not wildly optimistic about humanity. All too often I dwell on and/or am bombarded with all the things we screw up.

The one thing that gives me hope is human creativity. When you see it,...

Thanks guys…I appreciate the feedback.

When I meter for a shot I write down the lowest ev for shadow detail and the highest ev within the composition. I then try to determine what portion of the...

Richard,

There is a ton of info out there to help. I too am a recent convert and one source I found very helpful was ytube.

I really struggled w/tilt and swing until I watched the video listed...

I went to the lab last night to make some prints, (sometimes it’s open on a Wed. night).

The T-MAX developer is not RS and specifically says for “Roll film only”!

I also found that the master...

Stephen,

Thanks for the info. I go to a darkroom on Monday night and pay $5 an hour to develop film and make prints. My film, my paper, their chemicals.

I will check for what kind of tmax...

Thanks Oren,

I will try to spend some time w/ Brad next week if he is available. I have his phone number.

Doremus,

Jay is correct, I use readyloads and I rechecked the diagrams on the box to make sure I was loading them correctly. I wish that was the problem.

It seems from Richard's post that I...

Not harsh at all......I appreciate the advice.

"It is your technique" is the right answer. It's also the easiest and cheapest problem to solve!

I live in Danville in the East Bay and would...

Brad,

Thanks for all your help.....

So I'm guessing I should shoot some film tomorrow based upon the sunny 16 rule and see what the results are. I only get into the lab on Monday evenings so I won't have the results for a week.

If...

Afternoon sun with clouds. I would say bright and not hazy. But I shot three scenes that trip all with 3 and 4 stops compensation......2 were sunny, one with some sun in a forest. All 6 negs were...

OK, I missed this...let's go through it step by step...

ev 13 with f32 = 1/8. ok. As a sanity check against "Sunny Sixteen", for TMAX100 rated at EI 60, that would be one stop open from "Full Sun"...

It's a good grasp because a filter factor 5 in the wrong direction would give you a delta of 4 2/3!

Fortunately I keep records of each exposure and if you go up to my 2nd post you will see the...

ic,

I'm reading between the lines here a little perhaps but are you suggesting that each combination of lens/shutter/film should have it's own EI with the same meter?

I would have hoped that...

yes your correct on the metering. All 4, 2 x d200, the F5 and the spotmeter where within a 1/2 of a stop.

I don't load my own film. I use Kodak T-MAX 100 readyloads and I load them in the...

Barry,

I do develop my own film. Our lab tech at the darkroom is a very accomplished photographer and I always run my negs by him for analysis.

I use the spot meter by finding the highest ev...

Sorry for the confusion.

An Image of a barn was exposed at f32 @ 4 sec and the bracket at f32 at 8 sec with a red filter with a filter factor of 5.

Spotmeter readings were low ev at 11 and...

I went to the lab last night to develop some film and I got my first good negatives in 4x5. I’ve been using LF for about 6 mos and always end up with under exposed negatives.

My first ones were...

Thanks....I've bought three large format lenses in my life and I probably overpaid for those too.

I'll let this one go and I appreciate the help.

Jan,

It is mounted in a shutter. I believe it's a copal 1.

Rodenstock Geronar 300 f9

A dealer just called and offered me this lens in excellent condition for $550.

I’m looking for a 300 to 360 for my backpack that will cover 5x7 format and have a...

Thanks folks for all your help.....got what I need now.......Mark

QT,

On my KBC Traditional the "inner focusing rail" is for the front standard. When you say "On the side of the inner focusing rail" do you mean the side facing the bellows or the side facing the...

Walter,

I am fairly new to LF. For about a year now I've been using a Sinar F2 that has a scale of sorts on the focus knob to help determine the best DOF settings.

I was anticipating using a...

I would like to put a ruler/scale on my Canham.

I'm told the newer ones have them. If that is correct, where is it placed? I was thinking on top of the rail and measure the movement on the...
