Hi there!
I am looking for a paper that emulates the look and feel of traditional ilford FB classic glossy paper. I thought I found the holy grail with ilford mono silk, but unfortunately just...
Hello!
So i recently purcahsed an ilford galerie prestige sample pack and fell in love with the gold mono silk for my large format black and white prints. Of course, I went to go buy a batch today...
Great thanks so much! I will probably go this route then. One other question if you don't mind—what do you use to rotate the drum? Do you do it manually?
Thanks for the reply! Do you use tetanal kits for your C41? Also, which Jobo tank would you reccomend?
Ok so I just did a bit more research and I see many people using Jobo or Cibachrome 8x10 drums for processing black and white. Would this be a viable option for color film as well if I were to self...
Hello everyone!
I will be getting my first 8x10 camera soon and was thinking about getting a box of Portra 400 for a series of portraits.
The only thing is, I have no idea where to process it....
Thanks everyone for the examples! One other quick question—I am new to 8x10, and will be receiving my camera soon. To mount a Wollensak to the camera, would it fit in a standard copal 3 / 1 / 0...
Anyone have any portrait examples of this lens? I have an opportunity to purchase one and can't find much info on it online. I would be buying it for 8x10.
Thanks!
Does anyone know why medium format and large format film supposedly handles dynamic range and overexposure better than 35mm film? Essentially it's just like a cropped in portion of a medium or large...
In the past when doing enlargements, I had to adjust the time the paper was exposed when using RC paper and Fiber paper.
I will be doing some 8x10 contact prints soon, and was wondering if the...
Hello!
Does anyone here know where I could order some 5x7 (around that, doesn't have to be exact) matts for 4x5 prints? I am looking to make some 4x5 contact prints and wanted to display them in a...
Awesome! Thanks so much for the suggestion. I will give that a try first.
Thanks everyone for their input!
Hello!
I'm looking to start doing some 8x10 and 4x5 contact prints, and was wondering if anyone has ever used the Photographer's Formulary 8x10 Contact Print Frame. Here's a link below:

Thank you, although the link you posted did not work.
Awesome! Thanks so much for that! That was really helpful.
Yes, the look i'm going for is similar to what you got with the gundlach radar at f4.5. Basically that incredible shallow depth of field...
Ah thank you for the comparisons! Alright, then maybe i'm looking for a tighter perspective than 300mm on 8x10.
Here's an example of the "look" i'm trying to achieve. This photograph was taken by...
Hello everyone!
I was looking into getting an 8x10 setup with a 300mm f5.6 lens to mimic the look of a 40mm f.7 lens on 35mm. I'm having trouble finding full body / environmental portrait examples...
Ok that's a good idea! Can't you point me in the direction of the monthly portrait thread? I'm new to the forums so not sure where it's located. Thanks!
EDIT: Found it!
Thank you! Yes I'm looking to stick with a copal system, so thanks for the advice.
The Fujinon 300mm 5.6 looks enticing... how would that compare to say the nikkor 300mm 5.6? Thanks to everyone...
Hello!
So I recently purchased a 4x5 camera, and I have to say, I'm hooked. Photography has never been so fun!
I am thinking about purchasing an 8x10 camera soon as well, although mainly for...
