I've switched to the 3005 tank, which is great in that I can process 5 sheets of 8x10 at a time. However, my rotor base which is bi directions won't turn the tank more than a full revolution, so I...

Thank you for the information. I am running the alignment process now. Fingers are crossed!!!

How do I go about doing a manual alignment of the head. I have large print job coming up in January. I hope to have this issue resolved as soon as possible. Thank you all for the guidance.

So this is the latest step test and the pattern in the K head is showing a different pattern...

Tyler, I will check this afternoon...
Just ran the alignment test and this is what I get back...

My issue isn't vertical banding, but horizontal, which you can also...
Thank you! I will check for head alignment. If it is in fact out of alignment, is there a solution in the software? I never had this problem before.
This issue started about a week ago, went away after running a few head cleanings, then has returned and not going away after several more nozzle check/ head cleanings and also Auto Cleaning. I am...
Love this! I have a Super Angulon as well. It is a lens that I think I would never use, but to make something specifically for that lens might get me out there. Thanks for the great post and idea.

I've got a Calumet Tent that I use to load up 4x5 holders and also to put on reels for my Jobo tank. Floor space is important, but if you need height as well, the Calumet works very well...
I just traded a Wet Plate for a Sinar F1 with a Schneider Super Angulon 90 mm lens. It fits nicely in its Lightware case. I have a few questions...
When I inspected the camera, I noticed the one...
Lee,
I haven't yet disassembled the head, but it is a simple fix. There are 2 screws on the back plate and I beleive a tension screw underneath. Loosen the tension screw and take the other screws...
Jonathan and fellow Portlander,
My tripod could also use some elbow grease, derusting of some springs and screws. I have since found my tilt mechanism of the 1200 is a bit stiff , but with some...
Hey, looks like I found a solution. I shoot wet plate collodion on aluminum plates. Since the plates are malleable, I cut a piece down, rolled it around the column and made my own shim. I am probably...

Thank you Don. I'll make a few calls and see what they say. If it doesn't work out, I'm gonna go to a machine shop and have them make a shim to make up the difference in size. I just received the...
Well, apparently my tripod was made before 1964, in which the diameter was made smaller than the modern 1200 head. Bencher does not make a sleeve to compensate for the difference. I'm either going to...
Jonathan,
This appears to be correct, as the tripod does look like it has been around the block for years and years. I will talk to Bencher tomorrow and see what I can come up with.
thanks
Thanks for the comment Leigh. I just measured the OD on the column of mine and it is a bit smaller. I haven't been able to find any reference to the sleeve anywhere else, but hopefully I will...

So I just bought a great Majestic tripod that had a cine head on it. Upon pulling it off, all thats left is a hollow center column. I also just got a Majestic 1200 head, but the connection does not...

gandolfi,
Wonderful image. I was wondering how you got such a "clean" image, but seeing as you used RC paper as the neg, I can understand that. I used to shoot single weight paper negs and loved...
Eddie,
Yeah, you're right... I made a few successful plates, but I missed again with this one. But I liked the image and wanted to post it anyway. I'll switch to a tank when I get more Silver...

Thank you for the feedback... I also heard the Lee filter #106 and it's Rosco equivalent works just fine as well.
I'm using my garage for a darkroom to process Wet Plates. I've got a window with 6 panes I was going to cover with rubylith. However, it seems the city of Portland does not have any in stock... I...

Beautiful eye catching photograph. Thanks for posting!
