Are you using dry chemicals to develop the film? If so, maybe they're not fully dissolved.
I use the MDO54 and the twirl stick with no issues. But I also invert the tank twice during developing....
Checking for light leaks, I ran a single sheet through it.

Lookin' good!
No film holders, but I already have plenty. Has a cheesy dark cloth and a reflex focus for the back. No cable releases. It has a relatively nice case though.
I think they were asking $300. But I might be able to haggle that down with the spring issue.
.....I'm seriously thinking of dropping the dime for it.

A huge factor is whether your freezer is self-defrosting. If it is, you'll have moisture issues as the unit actually has a heating unit that's used to melt the frost build-up.
The Ilford I've been getting isn't. It's open on one end.
Even if you've been getting sealed bags, there's no indication on the box as to whether it's sealed or not. And since there's no...
Not all sheet film comes sealed from the factory. Some liner bags are open on one end.
Toward that premise, I always use a freezer bag. Film's expensive enough to lose a box trying to cheap out.
Mine is sans shims.
I managed to find a good used Epson V700, but the seller didn't package it enough for the trip. Long story short, it's mine now, and needs some help.
When I turn it on, the scan unit in the base...
This will be for a Shen Hao HZX 45 IIA. If it was a monorail, it would be an easy do, especially if the rail is round. But this is a flatbed field camera.
Would you care to explain the photo you posted? Where is the mirror? How does this device attach to the camera/lens? Why does the device have a lens on it when my camera already has one?
Well, so far I've got several comments about using quality glass (obvious), two posts suggesting a Spiratone thingy that is made for long lenses, and making an entire custom camera.
Still no...
That's for longer lenses. I'm sure even my 210mm would have vignetting issues.
The 65mm, at f/16, covers 105°.
Nikkor-W 65/4
Nikkor-SW 90/8
Nikkor-SW 150/5.6
Caltar-S II 210/5.6
I have adapter ring for all to use 77mm filters.
FINDING a suitable mirror is not the issue.
HOW TO MOUNT IT is what I'm inquiring about.
See post #10...........
A periscope consists of two mirrors. I only want to use one.
A periscope uses a tube because it needs to keep out water. I'm not shooting underwater, so a tube isn't needed. I only need the...
How do you mount the mirror to the camera/lens?
Yeah, but they only work with longer lenses. I'm wanting something that will work with z w/a.

Think about that for a moment................
A mirror on the back side is going to be rather problematic.......... how do you focus, for one thing?
That's a given, but I have access to quality glass. So the iq loss would be minimal.
On occasion, I've had need to shoot LF looking straight up. I got thinking about using a mirror at a 45° in front of the lens.
So I thought I'd ask if anyone has come up with a solution that 1....
Rotate the film 180° in the holder, as well as how you load it into your developer, to help narrow down where the problem can occur.

Yep... shot through a window. Cloudy day, so a polarizer didn't help much. I tried blocking as much as I could with my coat, but it's only so big. The Mobile logo is in the showroom.
Those 3 did. I bought 5 altogether, so there will be two more to test. One will fail as the dark slide is cracked. But the other slides appear good. Picked 'em up at a camera show before turkey...
Tested some used film holders I picked up last month, using the last 5 sheets of some Kodak Tmax 400 I had left in a box.
Wasn't looking for anything in 'ticular, just something to test the...
Apparently you stopped reading after the first sentence of my post.
So this means you're wanting more for a specific item than one particular person is willing to pay for it. Who's fault...
But what good does that knowledge gain someone?
If the person has figured out your reserve for your Flaremaster 210/5.6 is, say, $300, what steps can he do that will be of a benefit to him? Bid...
The 410 is my default for my 4x5 Shen Hao. Precise movement when I need it, unlock when I need to make sweeping moves.
It's basically self-locking. You must unlock it in order to make large movements. Otherwise, you must use the smaller knobs to slowly grind the gears to where you want the camera to be.
They try using it on digital. Duh! :cool:
Basically, you need to shine a bright light through the shutter.... enough light to trigger the sensor to start timing.
Keep the language as simple as possible. Adding the term "for consideration received" will only complicate the matter. That generally means the subject will expect something in return.
Consent to...
Yer a bit late for the party.

MODERATOR'S NOTE: Threads merged.
The use of the word 'corner' is confusing. The only thing I could get the corners to do is resize the window.
I think it's great when someone thinks outside the box.
And inside of it as well.
