On Location Studios in Poughkeepsie, NY is great. They do dip-and-dunk E6 and C41, 35mm through 8x10, don't charge extra for push/pull, are experimentation-friendly (i.e. they're happy to cross...
I just bought a used Fujifilm PA-45 pack film holder and the darkslide is very loose. It doesn't wobble around in the track, but there's almost no friction, and it slides out from gravity alone. Is...
Right on!
I haven't seen the issue yet, was he just talking about mono- and duotone, or full color reproduction as well?
Drill? What is this thing you speak of?? :)
Hey, if I had any woodworking equipment or a place to put it, I'd be all over it! (Or, my personal dream, a robust-yet-affordable and compact at-home CNC machine... *drools wistfully*)
While it...
LOL, I've only been at it maybe a year... give me time. :)
Y'all are fancy. I use cardboard, a Sharpie, a knife, and tape. :)
Mine are threatening to sprawl out onto a third shelf. Help!
Jim, that is a flippin' SWEET way to go about it.
Toyo 3.6... the magnification is enough for me, and I *really* like that it has a rubber gasket on the bottom so there's no chance it'll screw up the ground glass. And the price is nice.
(To...
Thanks for all the replies! Every once in a while is OK, I just don't want to be double-fixing every last sheet. I wasn't planning on using T-MAX anyway. :)
I'm just getting started in 8x10 and don't have darkroom access, so I'm looking at the Jobo Expert drums. Does the chemistry get to the back of the sheet, or is the film pressed tightly enough...
Good idea, I've got to try that!
Thanks, y'all. I plan on doing more of these, so if there's anything you think would be helpful to see covered, please let me know!
I made this video tutorial for how to load standard double darkslide film holders for a friend, who is just starting out in LF. Hopefully it'll be useful for any beginner.
Enjoy!
Indeed, that's of the hook!
Hail diginegs! :)
Last Sunday in Woodstock, NY, US (complete with dev foam)

This one could just as well go in the "unloved photos" thread, but this is about 500 feet from where I used to live in Bearsville, [upstate] New York.
cracking!!
There was an issue of JPG (also available as a (legit) free PDF), but I think there's plenty more to both say and shoot on the subject.
I enthusiastically second the ever-loving crap out of the recommendation for Art & Fear, as well as the follow-up, The View from the Studio Door. They're far and away the best $20 (combined!) I've...
I like to go out and set some arbitrary and restrictive rules for the session to try to force myself to see things differently. My current theory is that if I'm not shooting, it's because I'm not...
Excellent, thanks!
Actually, they're both technically true and are not subject to debate--the server doesn't have a storage array of infinite capacity because such arrays do not exist, and each of us does have a finite...
No, really. I'm actually not trolling. I meant that: it was a perfect example of how conversations about other things devolve into being about Adams and Weston, or Adams vs. Weston, and the original...
See? Here we go again.
Eric, that is absolutely killer!
I care because whenever either of them come up, the conversation tends to devolve into a reenactment of the same old scene from a very old play, and whatever discussion may have been going on gets...
It seems not an online discussion thread about large format photography can go by without invoking Their Holinesses, Ansel Adams or Edward Weston. Great photographers, both, who made significant...
I have nothing to do with this discussion, but I found everyone's links really useful, so thanks!
Wow, that first one is *intense*!
Justin on FP4 in Diafine. I'd like to make a pt/pd print of this, once I learn how.
"Add 2.5 stops to the metered reading for medium format." (Really.)
Hey thanks, Domenico!

I wrote a review of this tank here and a follow-up here.
(Out of consideration, I'm not posting them here as they both contain a fair amount of "colorful" language.)
