Love this one, reminds me of Wild West's early photographs 150 years ago.

Thank you! I'm always worried I don't see what others see in my images, as a sort of cognitive dissonance.

Thanks! Very much appreciated.

Thanks to all those who appreciated my last post and returned a feedback. I'm sorry I couldn't reply as I was on vacation.
I brought my 45F2 to Canary Islands and did some shooting. I started...

Thanks Philip, much appreciated.

Thanks guys, well coming back with a bit of info and some thanksgiving was the least I could do.
They are all Velvia, Les. First one is Joshua Tree NP at twilight, then Oak Creek Canyon (wonderful...

Just a quick bump to this old thread to thank everyone involved. All your suggestions were seriously taken into consideration and made my trip the best one to date. My vacation is sadly over but I...

I hope you don't mind if I use this thread to update you all about this:

Does anyone have very...

Thanks Eric. I didn't know the Canham used a different size of lens board. I'm using some Linhof standards (copal 0 and 1) on my Intrepid so that would be a problem.
I was wondering if the holes in...

Does anyone own this field camera?
I saw the video by Viewcamerastore's owner Fred Newman about this camera's functionalities and quirks and it looks pretty great. Considering the fact it's all...

In Europe, or wherever the metric system is used, it's actually also known as 10x12 (cm), you can also read it on the label of some film packages such as Kodak's.
Though, many LF photographers...

What's the difference between the N2 and the F2?

Ok I got it. I'm an idiot. Holy hell.
Basically the holder must be placed with the two edges with the tiny holes towards the scanner hinge, and the holes must stay visible on the glass.
Goddammit...

I see.
I just performed a curious test. I placed the empty betterscanning holder on the glass, then clickec preview. I got the same problem.
So I just inverted it on the scanner glass (basically...

Hi Alan, I don't know which holes you are talking about. On the lid?
I also think the scanner doesn't get the proper information, since the preview is much slower than usual, and it also sounds...

I just sent an email to betterscanning.com regarding this issue, but since it may take a while to get an answer, I try getting some help here as well. I'm sure there are some of you using the...

I see my question stirred many souls. I'm coming from an Intrepid mk3, which is not a bad camera overall but it certainly is not the most accurate tool on the market. I tend to spend way too much...

I was wondering if the market offers a 4x5 field camera with geared movements.
Basically a Chamonix F2 with the geared movements of the Arca Swiss F-field monorail.

I've been looking at the...

I use the 2520 with 2509n reel all the time, being my first and only method so far. I'm relatively new to LF and absolutely new to film development in general.
I also load the reel in a cheap...

Yes the thread might be slightly aged but I haven't made the trip yet, so your opinion is equally useful as much as appreciated. Thank you abruzzi!

That's an option I'm adopting right now, even though a little cumbersome when operating under the dark cloth all the time. The dark cloth tends to put pressure on the dark slide and drag it down....

I'll perform the test tonight, even though I can't think of anything reflecting light. That part of the film is placed near the dark slide handle.

I can see the line in the negatives, so it's...

I have no idea which section this fits into, so forgive me if this shouldn't be here. I have no idea what causes this problem.
Basically on all my shots I keep seeing this vertical line, looks like...

That looks visibly more blue in the mountains, is it intended?
What's your scanning technique with color negatives instead?

That's really interesting, thanks for the details.
I'm having a hard time scanning color negatives, especially when tones are subtle in the sky with Portra, but also when the dynamic range is very...

Very nice Dave. What are these scanned with? Epson flatbed? Drum?

I found this info here: https://www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/conditions.htm

Update
So I figured out the places I want to see and planned a route accordingly thanks to your suggestions.
1) Arrival at LAX at 4:50pm, pick up the Alamo rental at the airport
2) Drive out of LA...

I'm not into portraits but that's fascinating, neildw. Lovely palette, perfect focus.

I could have avoided it altogether with a good rinse (so they say) but it was on sale, it was very cheap and I needed to reach a minimum amount on my order to get it shipped for free. :)

Well I learnt something new! Thank you Vaughn.
Looks like I didn't screw up more than I was expecting. I'm going to get a wet agent next time and polish my method.
I attach a few sheets I...

Thank you. I totally forgot about purchasing the wetting agent, I didn't even know it was that necessary.

Hello,
yesterday I developed my first 4x5 sheets (fomapan 100), how exciting!
This was the workflow:
- Perceptol 1+1, 300ml (150+150, just to be sure, even though 270ml total would have been...

You guys are being tremendously helpful. I'm taking notes and putting a route together as we speak.
@Jim Galli Your town looks like something I'd find in a classic American movie. Lovely. Honestly...

Thank you Heroique, I didn't know them but I'll definitely give a read to Desert's Solitaire!



You are absolutely right Alan, as others pointed out I basically underestimated the distances...
