Hello all,
I've been thinking about the prints made by Mark Ruwedel, who’s work I was very taken by when visiting his show at the Tate Modern in 2018. I love his work, the concepts and places he...
Yes, lots of great options out there. Many at reasonable prices it seems. I just want a two or three lens kit that renders consistently across the board to help keep things consistent, especially at...
Thanks for the links and commentary, guys!
I've been in the darkroom, printing a lot these last few weeks and have decided that I really love the look of my C.P. Goerz Am. Opt. Co. 12" Dagor –...
Thanks again, guys.
What's the difference between a Carl Zeiss Jena Gorez Dagor, and say the Am Opt. Co. Goerz Dagor? Am I correct in thinking the Carl Zeiss version is the same, perhaps also...
I’m wondering, if you transfer a barrel lens into a copal shutter, how you you calibrate and mark to f-stops for Aperture?
I’ve always wanted a 240mm G-Claron dagor-type, but can only buy online and can’t seem to find any consensus on how to identify them over the plasmat version by it’s outer appearance or serial...
From my admittedly limited experience, solely on 8x10", they have a really beautiful look to them. I'm probably in the minority of people who shoot 8x10" not for the extra resolution, and more for...
Thanks, guys.
I’m slowly coming to the realisation that I’m going to have to buy a 8 1/4” single coated Goerz Dagor to satisfy the itch. Maybe it won’t offer anything of substance over the...
Hi all,
I’ve been shooting 8x10” for ages, mostly using a Dagor type 210mm G-Claron which I love, and occasionally 12” Am Opt. Gorez Dagor. The former is in great condition, the latter pretty...
Wow, just seen this. I've been shooting a ton of tri-colour using my Linhof Techno and a roll film back out in the field, but obviously manually shifting out filters etc rather than one-shot. I love...
Bergger's semi-gloss warmtone with the ivory base is beautiful and unlike anything in the Ilford FB paper line. It's my favourite paper by far, but I do admit that it isn't for every picture....
I've been having a similar issue recently. At first I thought it was the tape seals / hinges of my 8x10" holders, but the more I thought about it and the longer I waited in the darkroom for my eyes...
Yes, Kevin does indeed seem like a great guy. It's rare to find people such as him who want to share all their knowledge, even if it means less of a sale. It's very much appreciated!
I'm going to...
Thank you all for your replies, and apologies for the delay in mine – I was out shooting then got sick. Sigh...
I have had some great correspondence with Keven from KHB. Man, what a wealth of...
Thanks, I’ve sent him an email. Hopefully he can advise on a solution.
I don’t have a de Vere timer unfortunately. Looking on KBH they’re really expensive! I see RH Designs options and others for cheaper, but still a lot of money in total.
What a rigmarole!
Thank you, Mick! Did you plug the timer into an outlet, as well as the voltage stabalizer?
As you see in the pictures above, the stabalizer has a connection to go into the mains, as does the timer....
Resurrecting this thread as I've now found the control box! It was lost in the back of storage and only just found, six months later. Awesome!
Only problem is it seems it was used with a non de...
Thanks again all!
I *think* I have found plans to make my own control box, which an electrician friend can help me with. I'll report back when I've seen progress, or hit a wall – either way,...
Yes, that's my thoughts too. I would like to print c-types at some point too, so ideally I'd get the colour module thing working as well.
Always the way! haha.
I'll try Odyessy Sales again, as they haven't replied to my query sent a week ago.
Yes, I know as much as that. No one I've contacted has any parts / info yet. I'm just itching to get this bad boy set up and functional!
This is what I’m missing - photo sent to me by a friend in different city that has one.

The holder is odd in the sense that it very much seems to be missing glass, as it won’t close flat to hold film tight - there’s a gap.
And this is the stabiliser box228244

Not pictured is the massive power supply (not the control box, which is missing) and the neg holder. Found this while digging through my iPhone images.
Kia ora everyone, apologies for the delay in my reply – things have been crazy here!
Thanks for all of the replies.
@Mick – the holder is missing the glass and I believe the clips to keep the...
Kia ora all,
Recently I came into the care of a de Vere 5180. It has seen better days as has been in storage, but things look good overall and after spending time calibrating it I reckon it'll be...
Thanks, Bob!
Awesome info, just what I needed and confirmed what I'd thought / hoped!

Thanks for the reply, Otto. I suspect you may be right – everyone has their own 'recipe' according to specific needs / workflow.
I'm not sure how / if the PMK stain will affect the smaller...
Hi all,
Just checking in with regards to developing times with PMK across 35mm roll and sheet film formats for Ilford HP5+.
I've processed thousands of sheets of 8x10" HP5+ in PMK using a Jobo...
My dagor type G-Claron 210mm is great and at f45 allows for a good 1.5” of rise (landscape) before I start to worry about corners. Great lens, tiny and cheap!
Yes, because it lacks the extra anti-halation layer that the roll film has and that causes the problems.
Sheets are fine with Pyro, but not roll film. I’ve heard of people using it with PMK and Pyrocat, but never read a consensus re results or recommended times etc. it’s an attractive film to me but...
I want one so bad... Hmmmm... Better dust of the ski mask.
Adox cut CHS100II to any size you want.
Thanks, Greg. That’s interesting. I love the Jobo I use at work but really do need my own unit, and the Stark is interesting for its footprint although I’d prefer the CPP3 for convenience.
Has the...
Thanks, Greg.
Are using your SRARK with PMK and / or Pyrocat? My experience with PMK for example with tray processing is even with long presoak, it's very easy to get streaking if film is not...
