I'll start saving my pennies...
Anyone know when this is happening? I can't find any mention of it on Ilford's site or elsewhere. Doesn't it normally happen in May?
The only option other than outdated film:

I'm one of the six photographers featured in the 2nd issue of Density Magazine. Based in New Orleans but featuring photographers from throughout the Gulf Coast.

Nice looking exhibit!
Fujinon 180mm f5.6 single coated. Sweet little lens. 58mm front filter thread.

palladium toned Kallitype.
Thanks for the input! I was shocked to discover that Speedotron was still in existence so I'd like to find out as much as I can about the "new" Speedotron gear and service.
Anyone purchase from Speedotron in the last couple of years? I didn't realize they were still in business! Learned studio lighting on Speedotron 30 years ago. Now owned by ProMark Brands. Looking to...
I am older now (64) than one of my most important mentors was when he passed away (62) and that fact alone encourages me to help anyone who takes a keen interest in some aspect of photography that I...
I have a Canham Ground Glass Protector that helps keep the gg protected. https://viewcamerastore.com/products/canham-8x10-ground-glass-protector?variant=24817750471. Having a spare gg is also a good...
re: lens boards for the KMV - S.K. Grimes made me a Technika adapter board based on an original KMV board that lives on the camera and all my lenses are mounted on readily available Technika boards....
No downsides for me. But others may dislike the fast focusing, the robust build, the clamshell design, and the 12 lb. weight. I use everything from 180mm to 420mm no problems. Moved from a Deardorff...
Haha! No, the camera is fully supported by a proper tripod. What I was referring to is the front focusing assembly. That has a 1/4” tripod hole that you could mount a monopod that would give the...
Andy,
I think the weight of the two cameras is about the same ~12lbs. I'm not a backpacker so don't worry too much about weight but I do like stability.
Speaking of stability, the KMV has a...
I agree with Mark. The Kodak Master 8x10 is a rugged metal 8x10 camera that is quick to set up and offers fast focusing via the sliding bed. Great for photographing people (which is why I traded the...

Nice lens for the format.
Very thoughtful work. Congrats!
Thanks Ironage!
Thanks Mark!
Corran, thanks! The show is moving to International Art Center at Troy University after next week but I'm not sure how long it will be there. Whenever you do come through NOLA feel free to reach out....
Will, yes these are contact printed onto Lodima paper.
I have three 7x17 prints in the Montgomery Photo Festival Exhibition: https://www.montgomeryphotofestival.org/the-2023-exhibit.html. The exhibit comes down next week but is moving to the...
I tried to order 100 sleeves but was told they are no longer available. Did they tell you the 500 count was still available?
Arthur, I was told they no longer carry the 7x17 size but, if they do have them in 500 count, I'd be interested in splitting an order. Been using the 7x17 quite a bit lately!
For my money the best description of how to use Scheimpflug in practice in real world situations is in Steve Simmons’ book “Using the View Camera.” Been doing it that way since the early 1990’s. It’s...
As someone who lives and works in a flat landscape (South Louisiana) I admire the way Sinsabaugh approached the flat Midwestern landscape by trimming out the extraneous land and sky and nudges you...
I had S.K. Grimes adapt a Technika board to an original KMV board and mount all my lenses on Technika boards which are very common. Glenn at http://www.glennview.com/ does a conversion to Sinar...
For an 8x10 field camera I'm a big fan of the Kodak KMV 8x10; essentially a metal Deardorff (same weight and movements) with the added benefits of front shift and quick front extension feature that...
Brian, great suggestion. Didn't know what to google for but now I do. I'll follow up on this post once I order some, cut them to fit, and install them.
Thanks Michael. I'll check out the big box hardware stores. Went to our local hardware store but they didn't have anything like this. At least I know what to call it now!

I am looking for something that can adequately replace the missing rail brake (not exactly sure what to call it) on my Calumet cc-series cameras. This is the hard plastic part that fits...
Congratulations!
Wow! Thanks for the lead on both Bosworth's work and Wolf's podcast. Lots to explore.
Nice images! You've obviously got a particular vision you are working on and it is strong.
My primary advice would be to do a hard edit; 20 images should give the viewer an idea of who you are and...
Well done! Very interesting concept books.
There's an exhibit of Nancy Rexroth's work up right now in New Orleans, at Ten Nineteen Gallery, of some original prints from her IOWA book (Diana camera work). The majority are 4"x4" and a few are...
Nice exhibition with the added bonus of selling work!
For what it's worth, a friend who used to do wedding photography partnered with me to offer 8x10 Pt/Pd bridal sessions as an add-on to her packages. We did a few (over a few years time) for her...
Bernice, these are great! You were certainly an outlier in the '80's working weddings with a view camera. I remember those long Saturdays of lugging a Hasselblad, a big Metz flash and a bag of of...
As a broad answer...I landed on Fuji lenses 20 years ago (thanks Kerry Thalmann http://www.thalmann.com/largeformat/fujinon.htm) because they sold used for much less than similar Nikons, Rodenstocks,...
