I’ve purchased chops from frame destination in Dallas and lites from a local glass wholesale supplier. You need a sales tax number to buy from a wholesaler though. There are also clip frames that can...

I started watching this thread because I had been thinking of trying to make a sketchbook cover for my granddaughter. It took me a few tries but here’s how it worked out: I used some roll canvas I...

By all means, do it yourself. You’ll mess up at first but think of it this way, they’re not mistakes. They’re tests. And you’ll do a lot of tests but in six months you’ll laugh at your first attempts...

Tempe camera in Tempe, Az. processes b/w 4x5. I do my own so I haven’t used them in years but they could be an option for you. Again, I know no particulars.

I was looking for this product also and received an email reply from Sina at orientalphotousa saying they had no stock or eta. I was looking for warmtone vc. I got that message yesterday, 1/19/20....

20ml. per liter is how I mix it.

If you are going to want to shoot from corporate property like a parking garage roof or maybe a golf course or someplace like that, the best way to get permission is to contact the media relations...

I recently bought a cambo with 150 & 210mm lenses and several film holders off Craigslist. I just wanted a view camera, even though I already had a wood field by calumet that I've had for 20+ years,...

OP, what I've done for a similar project is take an old enlarger, just the mast and base, (in my case a 23c) and drill a hole through the part that moves up and down, put a 5/8 bolt through it and...

For what it's worth, I've never had a problem with the sp445 that could not be directly attributed to me. Just take the time to load it properly, clean it after use and remove the o ring when not in...

My first was a speed graphic and in the years since I've used many different LF cameras. Personally, I've never been that particular about gear as long as it does what I want. That means not leaking...

There may be photo opportunities in the downtown area as well, just not landscapes. It's older, the rents are cheaper and there are several galleries in that area. Possibly there are still some...

Perhaps narrowing the scope slightly could help. Something illustrating land management techniques and relationship to systems or urban/wild land interface? Just what came to mind. Good luck.

Have you considered a projector table? They are about 15 in square with telescoping legs that snap on underneath to make it compact for transport. Probably weigh about 3 lbs and have a handle. I...

Does the kreonite work? If so, where are you?

I've used many methods. They each have their advocates and detractors. I currently use the sp445 because I don't need to do volume and because the lights can be on. I've read where others have...

I bought some at Walmart. It's with the canning supplies.

I realize this is an old thread but I may have something to add. I believe Dunning photo in Oklahoma serviced them. I know they did Kreonite stuff so it wouldn't surprise me. That's if they are still...

Long ago I used a sheet of stainless on a 55gal drum and swabbed dektol on mural paper using a sponge in each hand. All these suggestions sound so much cleaner.

If waste is the concern, I'm pretty sure there are guidelines for replenishment.

I'm coming late to the party but, nevertheless, here's my input. The only show I've done was too much schlepping for too little money. I made back my booth fee but that's it. It was a neighborhood...

I have a 5 gallon pail with a copper coil that I fill with ice and run wash water thru but it can't handle any sot of volume. I have a chiller that powers up when plugged in but I'll need to run a...

I realize this is an older thread. That said, the biggest problem I have in PHX is the wash for fiber printing. The tap puts out water in the 80-95 degree range and it really softens the emulsion. I...

I have these. #1 began life as a color neg. Expired polacolor 200 in a Mamiya 1000176657, testing a 500mm mirror lens gifted to me. Digital negative, Van Dyke print and oil colored. The craft isn't...

We're these two sheets in the same holder? Was the holder in sunshine while partially covered?

Several years ago, as part of a crew shooting video for a Phoenix non-profit, I had occasion to meet Jerry. He was a nice man.

I have a microtek i900. It serves my purposes. It cost around 80$ off Craigslist.

I'd never given it much thought but it seems like it would be way over exposed. If I did feel the need to put 31 exposures on a sheet of film though I'd start with close to proper exposure and build...

And then some.

1st camera, other than instamatic, was a KS something issued to me at Ft. Monmouth in 1971. It was a speed graphic and my introduction to photography. The kit came with a tiltall type tripod, Weston...

Maybe 45 years ago I bought a dexter hand mat cutter. I still use it. If I do all the handwork for the print, finishing it off with an extra 10 minutes to cut a mat is not too much to do, at least...

Reciprocity has to do with the ability of the material to record light. It means as you expose the material longer it records less light. It's not in a logical way either. There are technical reasons...

Hi, I too, have been playing with paper neg. I use the ilford gloss rc rated at 3. A brief flashing (2 sec. I think at f22, 10 in height on the enlarger w/#0 vc filter) prior to loading. Iso3 is...

I trained in what we called an "antique 7". Not really trained but visited during 84b20 training. Early 70's time frame Ft. Monmouth. I'm not certain but I think they had a way to process e-4 or e3. ...

Looks like bromide drag

I've used a cheap timex indiglo watch as a timer for years. Light is soft and you always know where it is. Probably better options available now though. It did require the pushing of a button to...

I built my film dryer with 2x2's as frame and some subflooring material, 1/8", for the sides, top & bottom, hinged door made of canvas & 1&1/2x 1/8 hobby wood. Drilled a hole in the side, stuck PVC...

I've used siphon hoses from marine supply places. The kind with a squeeze bulb that go from fuel tank to outboard motor.

Sometimes, people start school at Brooks in Santa Barbara and it doesn't work out and they sell or pawn LF gear. A guy I used to work with bought his 4x5 like that. As someone said earlier, patience....
