eBay seller Tokyophoto:

PM me if you can't get in touch with him through ebay and I'll send you his email

Shade arrived friday. Would have been pretty easy to replace the mounting screw (too large to fit in my front element) and drill holes for the mounting pins. However, the frame of the bellows is too...

Thanks, Dave. The seller is going to send it to me for a trial. Hopefully I can kludge it on somehow. Used 45a hoods are pretty rare, otherwise I'd try to get the correct one. New hoods are very...

45A hood

The one I bought:

Just purchased a compendium lens hood for my toyo 45a without carefully reading the description - it's actually the hood that mounts on the G/GX. Has anyone ever adapted this hood for a 45a? I have...

I just got a bellows for my 45a from Japan. It fit on nicely, and came with very detailed instructions on how to assemble. It was a bit tricky, and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a bit handy,...

Interesting. It's only on some negs, tho. I'll ask the lab supervisor when he gets back from break if any other people have had the same problem.

It's a neg

Both scans below are from the same neg. Image on the right (composed of two strips of the file with a black line between them, the crops are from the lower-left corner and right side of the image....

Correct - thought the OP had mentioned argb in his post. I know that some people think working in sRGB is good, and people I respect, but I think it's a bad idea. I work in Profoto myself. Why?...

When your file is scanned, it is tagged (hopefully) with an ICC profile that identifies the characteristics of the scanner used - in your case an Epson. When you open the file in PS, the tag tells PS...

Been done

Dunno if I've already posted this somewhere, but I shoot from a platform on the load bars of my Volvo. It's made up of 3/4 plywood reinforced with 2x4s.

Frank - my Darwin Award moment came when I...

Bob - that's great, many thanks for the update. I just spent about forty minutes cutting apart the old cable release and putting it back together with crazy glue, cable ties and duct tape. Might just...

OK, it was only 20", but there are drifts up to four feet, but the city is very difficult if not impossible to travel through. Most stores are closed, subways are running intermittantly, streets...

Out shooting today, and my cable release gave up the ghost. I've got two on order, but need to shoot tomorrow. I've cut away the black plastic covering to reveal the mechanism within. It appears to...

Phil - is that a slingshot on the back? You can also play angry birds on your iphone, you know.

I just bought a carbon fiber tripod from Manfrotto which I really like for my Toyo field. It's very fast to set up (I don't like the twist style releases on the Gitzo) and sturdy. I hang my pack from...

Brian -

That definitely sounds like a profile issue. Perhaps they are not really in aRGB. Have you tried assigning different profiles? If they are in aRGB and tag them incorrectly, the color and...

The books are so expensive, that the one time I sold them at an exhibition I sold them at a small loss just so people would have them

There was a show at ICP (international center for photography) in NYC of a guy who made his own cameras out of toilet paper rolls, optics he found (I think I read he made some of his own lenses, but...

MFA School of Visual Arts 1991. Not sure what I learned, but it was a requirement for teaching at the college/graduate level.

I just picked up an f/64 film holder bag:

It's quite nice. I strap it to the side of my Loewpro Mini Trekker. I think the claim of holding...

Another vote for liners with fingerless mittens. I'm able to do most of my setup using the mittens, then fold back the mitten part to make fine adjustments.

Fascinating. I shot a test last night after re-assembling the back and it seemed pretty sharp edge. Shot a bunch of film today and hopefully it's in focus...

I'll get a micrometer shortly and test...

You're a lifesaver, Duncan. Many thanks.

Grr, now I'm having trouble getting the camera back together. It appears that the fresnel goes in front of the gg, at least from the size of the flanges where they appear to have sat. The flange for...

Dunno if this has been addressed (I've only read through to page five), but most DSLRs will capture in raw format which is a 16 bit capture. This gives the ability to write from 0-65536. However,...

I had a meter like that once but gray. On mine, as I recall, the battery compartment opened and you took out a small assembly that held three lr44 batteries.

When loading film, I open the film box and take all the film out, then turn it 90 degrees to the box and put it back in at an angle so that the short edge without the notch is resting on the bottom...

If you use Mel's idea, you can drag guides out from the rulers on the side of the window (cmd-r to show). Layers will 'snap' to the guides (make sure snap is turned on in the View menu). You can...

I would like to see what it's like to focus my Toyo 45 field (an A I think) without the fresnel. The gg and the fresnel are held together with clips, and this assembly is then screwed into the back...

Brian - it might interest you to know that in early written documents in the West, spaces were not put in between words. I can't remember exactly when they were introduced, but as I recall it was...

I had a carpenter make a wooden sink for me out of plywood and then finished it myself using fiberglass and resin that is used to make boats. Came out great, but those fumes are killer. Louie's idea...

I've also heard good things about LTI, though I personally use Hong Color nearby. BTW, it looks like LTI prints for Laurie Nix. She's got a show up in NYC and the prints are unbeleivably good....

Came late to this thread and haven't read all ten pages, but Henri Cartier Bresson used to print the black borders on his negs to show he didn't crop them.

That's a very good idea. It does seem consistently about 1.75s at 1s and .75 at the .5sec setting. I've read about recording the shutter with an audio recorder and using that as a poor man's shutter...

I have two lenses - one is a Schneider 90mm f/8 Super Angulon, the other a 150mm f/5.6 Fujinon. In the process of testing the Schneider, I found that the 1s and .5s are off, so I'm going to send it...

Two things:
1. The improved noise reduction and sharpening tools are worth the price of an upgrade for me.
2. Rick, in short, LR is an image cataloging program combined with the image processing...

LR is, in essence, a very powerful DAM (digital asset management) program coupled with the image processing engine from Adobe Camera Raw. It allows you to manage images through the creation of...
