Herb,
Gotta tell you something.

Have a good day.
Good to hear us in the US still supporting Ilford. I'd half thought that most US consumers would default and buy Arista/J&C/Forte products (if they can find them or know which ones are Ilford...

Jan,
One advantage of living in Europe is that if your lab terminates their franchise with the proprietary Scala process and Scala does continue, then Agfa will hopefully make arrangements to...
Jan,
The information from you lab may be premature. It doesn't take much to start a concatenation of catastrophisation and I'm afraid your thread adds to it.
The proprietary Agfa Scala process...
Ng -
that's correct. Ilford Hypam and Rapid Fixer complement each other rather than replace one another. Rapid Fixer has become more difficult to source in England over the past few months...
Dan,
Most of the users on this forum would agree with your findings a priori. Although the method is suspect, the intuition behind the comparison is heart-felt.
Strikingly, the digital...
Efke 70mm film??!! This will be absolutely amazing - dig out the old bulk film back and shoot enough frames to make the latest digicam look incontinent.
Enough of the two-timing. Another loyal...
The Epson F-3200 Film scanner is rumoured to be affordable. For your colour work, 48 bit should do it.

That's a breath of temporary relief.
The French Bergger 200 film is rumoured to be made by Forte: is there any link between the two? It seems to do well in fitting in bertween HP5 and FP4+. For...
Gfen,
Since you're in the market for a proper 4x5" handholdable camera, you might find some of the parts transferable....the mahoganite might make an interesting roll film container with a built...
It's a black Super Angulon f8 with an aperture threaded cable release - shutterless. These days I can't muster anything faster than 8 second exposures. It doesn't look multi-coated to me, but I...
I'm really stumped here.
This shutterless lens uncoated Schneider Super Angulon 65mm f8 (filter thread 49mm) which I have is mounted in a recessed board and fits fine onto a Sinar monorail which I...
Several of my associates and I also emailed Fuji UK - I think we're still in wishful-thinking mode. The Fuji Acros 5x4" market in the UK just isn't large enough to support the regular supply of 5x4"...
This thread is amazingly awful.
Since when did the LF forum become baywatch for boobied trapped auctions and the like?
Half of the posts have unfairly slated a seller with 100% positive...
I think the traditional darkroom aspect caught me most. This is my usual work flow, although I have absolutely no objectively about my own work and will ache for days bent double over a 20x20" tray...
"I could see spikes in traffic that corresponded to specific posts."
Which direction were the spikes pointing? ; > )
One way to increase traffic is to do what you've done and posted on this forum ;)
It's a nice friendly URL, although I am not particularly discerning when it comes to websites. The only prob. I...
Using the same lens (although acquired from a more reputable source), I've not found the field of view particularly wide enough for my liking. The dampener really hit home when I found out how...
Photographers' film is not a high priority on airport security. The fascinating thing from guys down the local processing lab is that over the summer they found more rolls of film being fogged,...
I hope you have a great time up there. I've always wanted to go but never got out of the bay area when I last went to San Francisco.

I'm really pleased to hear that at long last a camera manufacturer has teamed up with a film manufacturer, although recently I switched to support Fuji film who have been doing this for a long time....

Initially I thought this was was tongue-in-cheek. I'd like a digital camera which can replace the burglar alarm too. Maybe tell me the...
John,
If my memory serves me correctly, the story of the saint's life was released back in the mid-70's - early 80's (that'll cover it). I remember the full-plate camera, however it paled in...
Thanks Dan and Ernest.
I don't know what half of the large format forum would do without your erudite access to vintage lens and camera obscura knowledge.
Reading my own post again, I just...
I found this process lens - a Taylor Hobson 1920's Anastigmat lens 18" f8 shutterless lens. It's also very heavy (feels like 800grams?) and will strain all the clips of a 5x4" monorail.
Having...

If the Sinar hand-holder popped up for auction, there probably wouldn't be a huge scramble for it. Tho' I'd certainly love to try it even if it isn't particularly practical as the Sinar needs a...

Keep guessing Mark.

Enjoy your new Sinar - my favourite monorail.
Understood Nick - thanks for clarifying.
I think this is why I'm doing the crab-walk towards Fuji.....
Thanks Phillippe,
I purposefully avoid translating "probably" as "very probably" because semantically, this is splitting hairs. Once something is probable, making it "very probable"; "most...
Bob,
I wouldn't bother with Google translations, especially if they're as bad as Babelfish.

Thanks for the reminder Dan. I'm not interested in which lens is best. I'd rather know the optical characteristics of a lens before I use it.
I did ask - <please> don't respond to the latter...
