Does anyone have any experience/advice on shipping an 8x10 to Japan or S. Korea?
Is the expense ridiculous? Customs?
Thanks- Jon

After doing some research in the forum, I recently purchased a Gitzo 1570M head to use with my Zone VI 8x10, which is the first 8x10 I've ever had. The first time I used the setup I became frustrated...
Hello- I'm trying to find out how to replace the bellows on a Deardorff 8x10, as well as fix other smaller issues with it. There are a couple of posts on the forum that mention Camera Bellows in the...
I am having trouble with some stains that develop after my prints have dried. I have never experienced this problem before, although it's probably pretty common.
The stains are somewhat transparent,...
I have no idea how to go about making a CD of my photos. I need to in order to enter a couple of juried shows, as well as apply to school. It seems like a handy thing to have anyway. I shoot BW 4x5...
I'm having a hard time finding many used 8x10s on the internet. Does anybody out there know of a good source for this, or, can anybody recommend a less expensive new 8x10 field that is solid in...
When using selenium to tone prints, should the fixer used (before the toner) be used only for selenium? In other words, is it OK to use the same batch of fixer for both prints that are going to be...
Hello- I have an Aristo VCL4500 cold light head on a Besseler. I tend to work around technical problems, but have recently become tired of consistently burning in the left half of prints made with...
I have been experiencing light leaks with my 4x5 film off and on for about a year. The most aggravating and non-comprehensible problem is after development, when certain negatives will have very...
I find it's easy to put off, but once you start it's easy. Sort of like laundry. I try to print when I have just a couple of shots. That lets me see them quickly, and keeps the printing sessions...
Oh, and don't take a ferry
--------------------On the whole, I don't care if eg a professional wedding photographer with a family to feed (for added emotive value!) loses work to an amateur who does a few jobs just to cover...
I got my bike fitted with some folding baskets which hold my 8x10 camera and cloth, holders, accessories. The lenses go in small individual shoulder bags on my person (I limit it to one or two if I'm...
then you will need something to make sure your hypo check check hasn't gone bad.
Could it be called "hypo check check check"?
Get a bottle of Hypo Check Check...
As far as seeing few film cameras among the masses, when did you ever see film cameras among the masses? Many people carry cameras that never would have before, in their cell phones, or because it's...
I once did the PVC thing from Home Depot, but they scratched my film. I tried sanding but they were pretty rough inside. And they're pretty heavy.
Then I got an Ilfochrome drum, and just used the...
It's a photography forum not a political forum.
Philosophy might apply, for example, to discussions about aesthetics, but injecting politics, religion, or other controversial topics should be done...
The last time I went into my Calumet (LA) they treated me like a god once I started buying 8x10 supplies. Here was one guy who really "did it", made the uncompromising choice, to heck with all the...
Well I love my APO Nikkor 360, but it's not the most used. If I had to pick one it would be the 300 mm.
I'm thinking of trying filters in the red range for more dramatic skies. I've narrowed it down to either red-orange or light red (don't want to overdo it, and the filter factor is less with both of...
Most women I show my photographs to suggest I take pictures of people instead of "things".
Women in general are more social and more likely to appreciate portraits and people-oriented scenes. Plus...
I have always hankered after one of those 6x7 rangefinder cameras. I prefer the 8x10 but it is a project to set it up. I would say don't mess with 4x5 as it's almost as time consuming to deal with...
Where I live I usually have to cool down rather than heat up water. I've found I can refrigerate water and mix it with tap water and the temperature is predictable. You could boil a pot of water, and...

Keep them dry and you should be ok. With lenses, clean off any fingerprints within a day or so because if left on too long they can become part of the lens.
I've heard Windex has some abrasive in...
I've seen some terrible photos on walls in restaurants and stuff but they were up there whereas mine are still in a box, or on my own walls. A significant portion of "success" is marketing, getting...
try microtek, 1800f, i-900
also epson 4990
all have the ability to scan 8x10
I use the Cibachrome directly, you need to use an 85 B filter in daylight. I use ASA 3 but that's allowing for the filter. Some great results, although some colors are a little strange. Still, that's...
I have cut up rejected prints and made interesting collages. I often have a print with a hair it, or bad exposure, or clumsy burning in, that still has an interesting portion. It's kind of fun.

Glad to see a tip about using film developer for paper.
I was using paper in the 8x10 camera to see what would happen. Most scenes were too contrasty. I assumed it was because of the...
You know, I haven't used any yet, but I bought a box of adhesive sheets meant to be a substitute for dry mounting. They're mylar sheets with adhesive on both sides. They're about $1.00 each but no...
Great photos.
I like the dissolving slide show on the home page. For the others, at first I didn't like the wiping as it loads. However, it IS good to see loading progress happening so I would...
Will it accomodate 8x10? It looks like the transparency scan area is 8.5 x 12, but 8x10 isn't listed as a format it will work with. Can you just slap an 8x10 on there and scan it?
Every process will have its own character, and if this is a nice one, great. And dots per inch, or lines per inch may not enter into it. My own experience with scanning and a "photo printer" makes me...
Did you see the thread about this, posted about 8-9 threads ago?
I only have the Nikkor M 300mm and it's small, will fold up in my camera. But it's not known for coverage. I have had no problems...
I have an older style Wehman and love it, wouldn't have anything else. Great support also. Can you rent in the meantime?
Among other things, I have a contra-alto clarinet that's about 6 feet tall. I don't play it all that much, but when I do, it's amazing. It makes your eyeballs vibrate and teeth shake. It's something...
I love glassine sleeves, I get them at Calumet
Years ago when I had few responsibilities other than photography, I did see everything in terms of aesthetics, it was great! I always saw something new and interesting.
These days, paying...
