That's a bit scary, Randy. Mark, what a wonderful car. I hope you can get fully functioning without too much trouble.

Thanks, Guys. I had just finished my class work for the week, when I saw the tulips were blooming. It was fun to spend a few minutes photographing them, which is a rare luxury at the moment.

Really good, Pali!

Looks good, Jim! My local library has 3d printers that members can use. This is terrific for small prints.

Take a look at https://www.instagram.com/dendorff_bw/ He's a member here. If I remember rightly, use uses Foma 200, both at 160 and at 800. I was amazed at the quality he gets at 800, and that...
If you're contact printing, then grain is not an issue unless you're doing some really wild developing. The big question is: how much speed do you need? Subject motion can be a real issue with...

Make a duplicate of the background layer. Run the shadows/highlights filter on that layer. Change the setting to 0 highlight, 0 shadow. The defaults are way too strong most of the time. Now bump...
If you really want a wide lens, and you don't want to pay a lot of money, and you don't want to use a really dim lens in a wonky shutter, then the 120mm f/8 super wide lenses are a good choice. ...
I'll check. I think I used 1/4". I certainly did so for the bed. I bet the big film you use lies pretty flat anyway.
Fancy! I just use tape for a handle. I like the metal angle idea. P99 works great, but it is more fragile, in my experience, than the original Screen bed. That's more important when using P99 as...
But the system does waste a lot of water, and it should only be used with water that's bacteriologically safe. (Some systems have a UV light to minimize this problem.)
I've been pointing out...
Nice one, Randy!
Make sure to do the maintenance required to keep the system running well! Did you factor in filter replacements in your return on investment calculation? :) In addition, follow the flushing...
Not using a tripod head works well most of the time, right up until it doesn't. If you know that you'll always be on a flat surface shooting horizontally, then you should be fine. But if you're...
First, you need to know how much light you'll need, i.e. what'll give you the shutter speed and aperture that you want to shoot at with whatever film you pick. You'll need much less light to shoot...
I prefer a Gitzo low profile series V pan/tilt head with 8x10 cameras.
I don't like to use a center column, and I've had to photograph on the side of a hill a number of times.
I have a Gitzo 1325. It's really good, but it's not very tall.
Looks great, Les.
Great work, Randy!
If you have access to the various materials, you might try printing a lens board with each and comparing. My guess is that ABS would be the most durable. Make sure to test for opacity.
Check with Ari about FLM options. That's what I'd do in your position.
My biggest anxiety when shooting film is that something will happen and I'll not get a usable shot, whether due to a light leak, a shutter mishap, or similar. I don't have a lot of time to do LF...
That's great to hear, Daniel!
This is why we might think twice before being too negative about new large format products. The truth is, there have always been problems. The most expensive camera I ever bought new, a Wisner...
Terrific stuff, Scott!
Take apart. Clean. Lube. I've done that on my 1570M, and it's much smoother now. I used Super Lube. A few years ago, I gave Joe's Lubricants a try, as Right Right Stuff recommended it, but the...

My laptop has 32 gig of ram and decent ssd drives. Those make the biggest difference in my experience. It's an Eluktronics RP-17. It's not fancy, but it's fast and affordable.
I'm pretty tired, and so I only skimmed your post. Are your density values net densities, i.e. minus film base plus fog? If not, then they should be. My experience is that a Zone I net density of...
