Thanks, Oslolens - very informative. I've just contacted Robert White
Thanks, Carsten. Bob mentioned contacting the Copal factory... Japanese, I see. And SK Grimes is in the States. Do any of you know of a place in the EU that has these scales?
And, finally, how come...
thanks again - so helpful!
... reviving this great thread, since I'm about to dip into a similar endeavor.
Is there anywhere, where I can buy aperture scales and are they easily 'refittet' into an existing Copal shutter? I'm...
Thanks, filshbulb - a very good selection of equipment!
... however, shipping and customs could very well kill the deal completely.
Hi,
at the moment I'm looking for a mounting station for my Scanview Scanmate4000 and a dutch friend of mine is on the lookout for a desktop drum scanner. Ebay, as you will probably agree with me,...
... I guess I owe to tell you that - despite its numerous imperfections - I can routinely wet-mount 4 pieces of 4x5 film on this mounting station. It is not a pleasure, but it works. Still interested...
... I never intended to work on the road - just next to it. But most freeway areas were fenced off. Again, the 5/14 was great - and accessible.
Thanks again, all of you - I had a good trip and had two good days of shooting. No problems at all, apart from being stranded in the foothills a couple of hours because of car crash in front of me (I...
... thanks MikeH and Mike, good to know it's doable.
BUT... the crucial matter - are the areas and interchanges mentioned SAFE places to wander on foot from the car?
btw, MikeH, you are right:...
Resurrecting this good'ol (well, not so old) thread, since I'm leaving in a few days. I'll only have 2 full days of shooting in L.A. on my own - I plan to spend it on the following:
day 1: 10/57/71;...
Thanks, Brassai - what you and jim suggest about standing behind the columns, firing away from the camera is what I find to be the most promising systematic approach. I'll post, when it is done (that...
... thanks, Jim - good with a thorough explanation of method! I see your point with being behind the columns
@ Dave: Great result! Inspiring to see, what you managed to get out of light painting - no spectacular drop shadows and an impressively even illumination. Serves as a good example.
@ Les, Randy,...
Well, I would never spend a 4x5 negative on that building ;) Gehry is more a sculptor than an architect, imo.
Thanks for input, John, Paul and Richard - I will certainly take my precautions, plan...
Thanks everyone - valuable information in here as always. Much appreciated!
@ Vinny: well, I really like that picture! Both the composition and the light. It escapes me, how such a picture can not...
Kirk, I guess I confused thing posting the image of the gasholder (the second pic, vertical space you refer to).
The first picture previously posted, what you refer to as the horizontal space, is...
Thanks, Les - appreciate you input. Interesting, though slightly demanding, ideas :) A battery powered flood light would be great... is there such a thing?
Thanks, Kirk... how come you suggest different methods for the two rooms? A really powerful torch/flashlight can illuminate parts of the big room as well (as in previously attached photo). Both...
I have no objection to considering them - I just simply don't know the difference you are describing because I always shoot with natural/available light. Renting a battery pack and a strobe just...
I will have a couple of days in L.A. in the end of march and I would like to add a couple of pictures to my ongoing "infra/super/structure" project (working title...) It currently includes dams,...
... hahaha :D not quite what I'm after
I did step into the frame in the gasholder

Wow! Thanks for all the replies, everybody - much appreciated... where to start...
well, first of all, I do not imagine the entire room to be fully lit ;) Having the room fade to black before you...
Okay, I need some serious advice, fellow LF'ers.
I have the wonderful opportunity to photograph two enormous out-of-use freshwater reservoirs just outside Copenhagen - the largest being 11.500m2...
... please tell me when you list it (if you do). Could I persuade you to tell me where you bought it?
@ Vinny: I would have gone for a rubber roller if I could get one for a reasonable amount of money - haven't yet found a place selling rubber pressure rollers that I could readily use. Having one...
... I've seen yours and Lenny's several times already, Bob :)
btw, If anyone want pdf/cad drawing, I can upload it
... where are you located? those things are big and heavy and probably don't want international shipping
FYI - I've posted a couple of photos of my DIY mounting station in the other thread (mentioned earlier in this thread)

Hi Bob - I did build this, or at least a DIY mounting station very close to the design above. I'm left-handed, hence the orientation of the drum :)
See photos:

... I'd like to join the conversation, Ed and Adam.
I picked up a Scanmate4000 last fall, I haven't had much time to go deeply into it, but my DIY mounting station seems ok... I'll upload some...
I have bellows (the PU-version) from ecbuyonline. They are cheap and quite well made and you can change bellows yourself. It all fit well for me, since I was on a budget while restoring my Tech V,...
A couple of screencaps from sketchup of the wip-design of a mounting station for scanmate drums.
lasercut plywood, a sheet of plexi (etched), 4 threaded ø30 rubber wheels (if anyone sells anything...
THANKS for the silicon roller tip! amazon sells them as individual spare parts for printers. GREAT! :)
and thanks, Vinny - a picture in your ad and a some dimensions on the drums that fit would...
I have searched over there, but did not find anything... maybe because of insufficient patience :)
(I wish it was a forum instead of a yahoo group; such a bad platform!)
I assume the rollers are...
My 20 year old Scanmate4000 is now up and running, but finding a mounting station to wet mount is difficult...
Has any of you made your own mounting stations? I have access to a laser cutter at...
Looks really appealing - even for someone swearing to geared three-way heads! Thanks for sharing!
... maybe even the same algorithm ;)
