Makes sense to me now to store it unrolled. Perhaps unzipped as well. Maybe this is a case of use it or lose it. I'll see if I can clean it up. Maybe contact Harrison as well. I still see using the...
Thanks for the link. Some excellent discussion there.
I have a Harrison changing tent that I love. The problem is that I do most of my 4x5 shooting while backpacking. (yes, 20lbs of camera gear in addition to camping gear.) I would always pack a change...
For me the condition of the bellows is primary.
I had an experience about 15 years ago where the buyer received a lens that I had sold and had posted a positive review. It still took considerable time and discussions with PayPal to be able to...
I found that the footswitch frees up both hands for dodging and burning. I imagine that's the obvious reason they are made. I don't have to frantically grab my tools once I hit go.
You’re all going to say that it’s time to buy a new lens hood. I could, but it’s only fifteen years old. Perhaps when I get paid, but it’s rewarding to do a repair even if it’s not pretty. A little...
I like using simple 8x10 trays for 4x5s. I had a tank once that I would agitate manually, but, as you can expect, the edges were over-developed. I probably didn't have the right touch. Sounds like...
There are plenty of artists using LF in their work, and it's nice to see the standards they've maintained.
I'm currently under a darkroom reno. Photos from this thread are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for bringing up that point. I want to set up ventilation via a portable floor air conditioner since it extracts a significant amount of air as well as cooling and dehumidifying the basement...
"Pristine" is better than "mint".
Roland Barthes. Someone I haven't thought of since grad school. Punct...Perf...ah heck. Guess I should look it up again.
I too use a Harrison tent, but I don't take it with me while in the backcountry. The reason has more to do with the bulk of it than the weight. For those trips I take one of those change bags that...
I'm guessing you work with a higher ISO film.
I must have discovered every possible way to have a light leak. Aside from that, I use to not pull the dark slide all that way out and just leave it at the edge of the holder - thus covering part of...
I wouldn't expect top dollar. I just think it's a crime to keep these lenses stored away not being used. I really had no idea where to start on the valuation of these lenses. In 2009 I bought a...
Sounds like taxes.
Thank you to all! I will check the sticky thread! and use Ebay as a guide with a grain of salt. I don't need to make a big profit on these, but someone might be able to give these SK XLs a proper...
It's been more than ten years since I bought or sold equipment. While I absolutely love my lenses and would never part with a a few of them, there are a couple that haven't been used in a decade. I...
I enjoy trying to decipher the context of a found photo. Thanks to all for posting these.
My take: digital is about the distribution of images. Film is about crafting an image. More or less. I do take a 50MB Canon on multi-day backpacking trips now. Carrying 20lbs of film gear in...
Thanks for the link. I know it's outside the main topic of this thread, but Jeff Walls' methodology yields great photos.
Thanks for the Like and the social media appropriate emoji!
My strong sense of self preservation keeps me well away from any dangerous precipitous no matter how good I think the shot will be.
I was lightly active on this forum ten years ago and actually never left large format. I'm still shooting 4x5. I've just been occupied with work and my photography and hiking the Canadian Rockies and...
