Ooops! Now there's a freudian slip. I should have said "merit" alone.

Garret,
You should follow Collector Daily under the "galleries" & "museums" sections. https://collectordaily.com/
You will see that film is not the only method being used to put images on...
". . . they're claiming the monkey owns the copyright."
If this is true . . . . then Wikimedia is admitting they are infringing in on the monkey's copyright. How can this monkey pursue a living...
I would be very interested in knowing the printing process used. The paper used, paper grade, enlarger filtration, developer, split-grade/or not, toner, etc. "Printing is where the magic happens"....
I posted this elsewhere, also. Nothing special, that's for sure. A 15 watt bulb in a Kodak safe-light housing. 6" Polycontrast filters cut to fit. A plastic coffee-can lid cut to fit, and is used as...
About ten years ago I built my first 8x10. Not having an 8x10 lens, I took the B&L Rapid Rectilinear lens (~170mm) from a Kodak folder and removed one element (~290mm). It covered 8x10 and then some....
I think I'd crank the lights up a little brighter. Ha!
Reducing the reflected light behind the subject can be accomplished by not having anything behind the subject that reflects light. Hint,...
Is there a particular reason why you can not increase the available light, in order to reduce your exposure time? Just curious.
Probably not in the book, Polycontrast filters can be used when contact printing. I print on VC papers for the most part, so I've been working with an old Kodak safelight housing and 15 watt bulb as...
If you don't have this book, you might try this link.
Page 67 onward explains what would take me an hour to type.
I contact print 4x5, plus other formats (5x7, half-plate, 8x10). Film, paper negatives, and plates can all be contact printed. In fact I recently sold off all my enlarging equipment. I wanted new...
Sands & Hunter Exhibition 5x4; circa 1882-1883. Updated images & info.
As recorded in "The Photographic Studios of Europe", By Henry Baden Pritchard, 1882, page 217, Paul Nadar made reference to...
My two pesetas. Depending on the type of subjects your pursue, if you find that your subjects are regularly out of focus, and something else located at another distance is regularly in focus, one...
Several types of wooden holders that I have. One is an Eastman 8x10 which is 15 oz. Another is an Eastman 8x10 which is 1 lb 3 oz. An unmarked holder is 1 lb 1oz. And an Agfa Ansco that is 1 lb 6 oz....
Hey John, maybe you can explain something for me. I was coating 6 half-plates this evening, thinking about the cold stone method that you had described. How do you think that works, or why does that...
I've never had the time to make emulsion from scratch. Not enough hours in the year. ;-)
ISO 10 is good. Which emulsion is that?
Besides emulsion lifting as it enters the stop bath, I've also had it curl up, and separate from the glass months after being processed. I think this...
My interest in items such as this is . . . Will it Blend? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8sxwK2pJI4
The 8x10 that I use (Anthony & Scovill Champion) also has no gears. It's a very elegant and simple design that works quite well.The camera is a rear focus sliding design, and the rear standard locks...
I too "had" drums that were too large for the Unirollers. Having a spare uniroller, I opened the bottom and disabled the switch so it would no longer switch directions. I was able to use the 11x14...
It's a really good start. I like the flow. But, a little elaboration there near the end would be helpful. Showing a cable release, film holder, piece of film, the camera on a tripod, etc.

The largest lens I use is a Gundlach Radar f:4.5. The lens elements are set in a Betax No. 5 Shutter. It accepts a lens barrel that is 73mm in diameter, and the iris opens from 4mm to 55mm. I believe...
Wista made cameras with an artificial wood grain surface.

The Practical Zone System - by Chris Johnson
This is a must-have, in my opinion. A copy can be had for just a few dollars via Barnes & Noble and/or Amazon's used books.

A first attempt at assembling an eBook of photographic images. Self-published eBooks might make a good topic for the lounge.

Just a theory. . . . If you are taking the lens from a cold environment into a warm & humid environment, maybe condensation is forming on the lens elements? Though I have never seen condensation...

I had the pinhole problem happen to me. But now that I think about it, these branches are too "in-focus" and sharp, I do believe. Reflections sound plausible. Also regarding the vignetting . . . a...
I suppose it is possible to have an in-focus reflection bouncing off the back of the filter into the lens. Protecting the sides, top, and bottom of the filter and it's holder from external light...
So, the dimensions are 291.5mm (A) x 346mm (B) x 23mm thick. The channel on each edge is 13mm wide, and 4mm deep (centered). Inside dimensions for plate in inches are 10-1/16" x 12-1/16". The four...
I use a Midland which has 5 holders. If you like, I can check the dimensions on those later this evening when I get home.
Don't need batteries for anything. When in doubt . . . bracket. I have two built-in light meters. One under each eyebrow. Neither needs a battery. And all my shutters are mechanical. We're good to go.
Maybe RTV Silicone (aka clear silicone) as used with putting together aquariums. I think the clear pure silicone adhesive sold in Lowes/Home Depot/Wallymart as a sealant for windows/bathroom stuff is...
That last link was just a general search at Google Books (the free downloadable books) for the term "retouching". You can change the search criteria to anything you desire. You may be surprised what...

My everyday camera has been a Seneca No. 5x7 (also self-casing), which is very similar to your Seroco. I carry it everywhere when possible. Excellent for handheld 5x7 exposures. The original plate...
Nope, not yet. You should start a thread on the procedure. I have used regular film, paper negatives, x-ray film, and now my new baby . . . 8x10 hand-coated dry plates. Now that I'll have more time...
Hello . . . I can squeeze 15" from this camera. The bellows is the original painted cloth/cardboard, which is extremely firm. The camera could take a rail extension, which I don't have. But, the...
If it were I, I would have tossed the film immediately. I wouldn't have had a second thought about it.
