Anyone have luck recently with Doug?
Hi Doug! If you see this, I just bought an Epson V850 and would love to purchase one of your holders for a long-term project I'm working on. Thanks for making such a solid piece!
Anyone up and running with this?
How is everyone getting along with these? Are most of you still using this for 8x10 processing, or gone a different direction? Looking for something to process color 8x10 and recently purchased a...
This is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this clear. I appreciate it.
Thanks for the note, Jim.
I know what Contact Printing is. Refer to my original post:
"I have limited space for a darkroom and am planning to do mainly contact printing like Weston for my 4x5 and 8x10 prints.
However, I...
Blue Moon Camera in Portland, Ore. has plenty of nice old-school contact frames, if you're still jonesing for one.
Again, new to darkroom stuff. Wouldn't a wide open lens give me less exposure times, so less time for dodging/burning, etc?
It has the color module. What would you be asking for one of your 40mm/2.8?
Thanks!
Thanks!
SO- it turns out the owner selling the Fotomat V35 for $200 had taken apart the lens to clean out the dust, but never put it back together! Aperture blades everywhere. Seems dicey to...
Great, thanks Steve!
Thanks for all the help everyone! Going to take a look at the V35 tomorrow. Asking price is only $200.
Thanks Fred!
It sounds like you have experience with the V35. I found a really good deal on one ($200) but want to determine the pitfalls to look for before purchase. I know these things are well...
Wonderful! Do any of you have experience with a V35? Want to make sure I'm not buying a dud.
Steve,
Thanks for the suggestion. Can you expound on this, as I'm new to the darkroom. What do you mean on baseboard areas?
Hey LF,
I have limited space for a darkroom and am planning to do mainly contact printing like Weston for my 4x5 and 8x10 prints.
However, I also shoot 35mm and found an amazing deal on a...
Thanks Bob!
I've been using the iHandy bubble level app, but honestly it's been tricky with my ballhead.
Where do you normally place the iPhone when measuring both axises?
This would be much easier if I...

Interesting. Bob any thoughts on the Linhof levels, despite their price?
Any thoughts on this small pocket level by Milwaukee?...
I've been having trouble leveling my Linhof and the Vello levels sold by B&H don't slide in and out of the hotshoe easily.
Does anyone have recommendations for accurate bubble levels for the MT?
...
Wonderful, great advice Andrej! Thank you.
Anyone have any thoughts on the F-field vs F-Classic in terms of range of movements? Are the smaller movements of the F-field negligible?
Done! Thanks
Thanks Neil! In re to "I suspect this camera with the pleated, leather wide-angle bellows would work well for both your lenses." which camera are you referring to? The one you are currently selling?...
No thanks on the TechniKardan, Bob ;)
Right now, I'm just using a 150 and a 90, but who knows for the future. I'm not used to base tilts. Why do you prefer center tilts?
Hello,
I am studying with a professor who uses an Arca-Swiss Discovery. He said although they've discontinued the Discovery, there is a new version with the same amount of movements. Any idea what...
Ok! I made the plunge and purchased a Canham 8x10 used. It's an older model, so I need a Toyo lensboard and a good first lens. I'm thinking a 300mm?
Does Toyo make 8x10 film holders, and if not...
Hey all,
Man! This thread has really taken off. I love all these viewpoints. Thanks for everyone's insight!
Jim Graves- I live in Los Angeles.
I love these existentialist answers - it's inspiring! Thank you.
Hi all,
I have been shooting LF for about a year - a Linhof Master Classic. It's a beautiful camera.
I'm tempted to move up to 8x10. I think the lure of looking through such large ground glass...
I'm wondering the same thing! I've been having problems nailing the composition. Anyone have ideas for creating an accurate mask?
Bob, can I developer color in the Combi Plan? That is, is the plastic safe for heating the water at 100 degrees f?
Thanks everyone. I found a Combi-Plan in great shape. Excited to get started!
If anyone has any advice for developing Acros in these that would be swell.

Any thoughts between the two? Looking to buy one of these models.
I appreciate that the combi plan can take 6 sheets since I'm generally using a Grafmatic.
Do user of the Combi find it...
Bob,
Something like this?

How do these heads pan/tilt without the long...
Hello all,
Slowly putting together a kit for my (first) 4x5, a Linhof Master Technika Classic.
I've got Gitzo 3-series legs, looking for a pan-tilt head that will suffice for the MT.
Not...
