For me, already having the tools and materials, it wasn't much of a leap. I actually learned how to use Fusion 360 to design something far more complicated than a lens cap (after getting fed up with...

When I got my first used LF lens that didn't come with one of the caps, I just went ahead and made a somewhat-parametric model in Fusion 360 and 3D printed one out of TPU. So far its worked fine. I...

I just stumbled across this thread while doing enlarger research and finding out similar things on my own. It does make me wonder, however... Is it actually possible to buy a Durst enlarger kit...

I'm definitely eager to see what comes of this project. I've been trying to visit many bay area parks myself lately (weather and schedule permitting), simply as a way of finding opportunities to get...

While I have no doubt that the LF community trends older, I think there is another factor here. In my own personal experience, there's a significant age bias among those who actually seek out...

I suggest searching or posting in this forum:

Thanks for the answers. It didn't take me very long to figure out which screw hole worked best for each of my lenses, so less worry there than I thought. Its also encouraging to know that a 300mm...

Thanks for pointing out this section of the manual. For some reason, I never noticed it. Earlier this morning, I was exploring doing this via the camera profiles, but this approach is easier/better....

I have a Pentax Digital Spotmeter and a Sekonic L758, so I'm very much wondering about this. When I do side-by-side tests, there's a very obvious 2/3 stop difference between the readings on these two...

Its still a bit of a work-in-progress, but here are some photos of how I've been setting up my MindShift FirstLight 30L for all this.

I'm definitely itching to take it outside and start getting some practice. I just need two things:
1) A sunny day (or at least a day that's not raining)
2) An easy place to go out to, for a few...

And now I get to join the club too :-)
Glad they now come with a zip-pouch. I wonder whether it makes sense to use it inside my backpack, or to get a 3rd party wrap instead. Likewise, I...

Building in the "English Camp" section of the Almaden Quicksilver County Park, in San Jose, CA. The whole area used to be a mercury mine a long time ago.

Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5, 135mm...

As my 45F-2 is almost here, I also have a few questions...
- Has anyone created a general reference/howto/tips-and-tricks website for the camera?
- Has anyone made a chart of which screw-hole to...

This morning, after nervously checking the EMS tracking site a few too many times, there was an update! It just passed through customs in San Francisco around midnight! With any luck, that means I'll...

Mine left the export office in Hangzhou last Tuesday, with no updates since. I hope the stork didn't get lost somewhere over the Pacific.

Did my first LF at age 28, when it was suggested that I dress up as an "old timey newspaper photographer" for a costume. Of course I couldn't do this like a "normal" person, so I went on eBay and...

I've been pondering the same question for a similar set of gear. I saw a lot of people saying that the Mindshift FirstLight 40L was a great bag for their 8x10 setups. So I went ahead and just ordered...

And now I'm suffering through EMS limbo... Mine left some export office a little over two days ago, and no idea where its been since. One of these days I'll hopefully see another update on the...

The last time I tried this, the only options I could find were "open trays in the dark" or the HP Combi-Plan. I used the latter, which did seem to use a lot of chemicals for few sheets. But at the...

I'm glad I just stumbled upon this thread. I've been using TheDarkRoom for 120 roll film (C-41 and B&W) processing for the past couple months, because they make the whole process relatively easy. The...

I already caved :-) Yesterday I went ahead and ordered the camera, then made a bunch of follow-up orders to get all the lenses and accessories I want to go with it. (Been building up a list over the...

Gah! The G.A.S. is unbearable :-)
A week or two ago I told myself that I wouldn't allow myself to order one of these until I finally finished my few remaining sheets of old HP5 in my Graflex. Then I...

You know, I've never seen any obvious evidence of such a detection mechanism in the meter. There's also nothing in the manual that says anything about an indicator telling you if it knows an...

Okay, I just did a somewhat more controlled test. Sitting in an interior room, with artificial light, set everything to ISO 200 and f/2.8 and spot-metered a grey wall. The Sekonic said T=4s....

I hate to "me too" such an old thread, but I think I've run into the exact same problem. I've been using my Sekonic L-358 in incident mode lately, and it has been working fine (as far as I can tell)....
