used hangers way back and never seen this issue. Did the up, tilt one side, tilt other side method. very odd artifacts indeed.

I photograph with a 7x17 and process the film in black ABS tubes with same sized end cap. Surprisingly enough, the pour cap for the 8x10 Simma tubes fit perfectly, so it's an all daylight process....

couldn't agree more with this. After years of darkroom work, I absolutely hate the smell of fixers and stop baths. TF-5 is now the only fixer I use for film and fiber.

anti-fatigue mats are the cat's pajamas for comfortable printing sessions. have one by my enlargers, and another by the sink.

Is that a 16x20 or 11x14 Brumberger safe ?

Unagi !!! mmmmm

I've been using plastic buckets for mixing 4 litres of Formulary 130. has a wire handle but no measurements.also use a cordless drill and paint paddle for mixing.

I was waiting for the camera to slip out of his grip while he was locating the qr plate receiver. but yeah, super wobbly. could have used two supports on the back to reduce the long axis sway (yaw ?)

When flattening prints in my Seal, I put the print between two sheets of acid free boards, then heat. Try to stick around 200°F for a minute or so. Haven't noticed any waviness along the edges.

interesting head. looks like same type of dual focusers as one would find on telescopes.

hmmmmm...almost same price per 8x20 sheet. should have thought of that, thanks !

Wonder if silver prices plays into this as well, or if it's just Ilford prioritizing their products first, which is understandable. But it only seems like this size is hard to get. Maybe not a big...

Man it seems like Bergger 16x20 Neutral tone has been on back order since the dawn of time. Wonder what the hold up is ? Need to make some 7x17 contacts and not sure the one box of 25 sheets I have,...

Wondered about Wanderer cloths, but still using Harrison. Upside to Harrisons are the weight, which is also a downside when it's breezy. The Harrisons do have velcro for cinching down the elasticized...

those chemical hand warmer packs are very useful for keeping dew off lenses. keep a couple of rubber bands on hand to secure the warmers to the lens etc.. I've never worried about dew points in the...

If weight were a major issue, gear wise, I'd probably pack my Mamiya 6 and a couple of lenses (50 and 75). Light, folding camera and very nice 6x6 negs to print from. A Hasselblad would be next....

if there's another 4x10 user up here, maybe see if they want in and split the shipping ? or contact rob skeoch (southern Ont.) as he did a project on 4x10 format. not sure if he's a member here (he...

same here Ari, not biggest fan of processing film but has to be done. also prefer to save $$ if I can, vs sending everything out to a lab, and Toronto Image Works has stopped processing film so...

I sometimes open the preview lever vs the shutter cocking lever. wasted 7x17 film gets expensive when I do this haha

we've already had our turkey time up here so hope everyone down there has safe travels, safe gatherings with fam and friends, and lots of dark meat and gravy :) garlic smashed taters too

I believe the growing hassle of travelling with likely hundreds, if not thousands of rolls of film became too much to deal with, hence Salgado's switch to digital afaik. Don't blame him, even in the...

I wonder if filling the tank fully during the pre soak is what might the problem. If the chambers are full, there's not much sloshing around, which is iirc, essential to proper development. fwiw, I...

I really like that bail back system !

Have always been meaning to make the drive down the 401, just hated the gridlock ;) His show was west end, kinda PierreFonds ?

If I expect to run film, I'll keep the CPP-2 filled with water for a couple of weeks. if It's going to be more than a month, I usually drain it. Every now and then I'll take the trough off and deep...

my first preference are Jobo clips, then Patterson. Jobo's teeth are set kinda wide which I like for 120 film and the teeth are fine enough for sheet film.

they're kinda spendy but hoping to get one of these when I retire. storage could be an issue for those without garages etc. also it's e-assist vs e-bike (where you don't need to pedal if that's what...

welcome to the group, quite a few Canuckleheads here. Maybe you'll be fortunate enough to bump into Thaddeus Holownia (former taught at Mount Allison). Saw his tall tree prints at Jane Corkin Gallery...

A way less expensive version of the Stark roller base. Cld be a good option if you don't process a lot of rolls in a tall tank. Wld be a step up from the usual roller bases (Unicolor/Simma). Kinda...

I shld clarify - do you mean the camera can still tilt side to side such as when you're setting up your shot, or do you mean it just feels loose and wobbly ?

ok, just looked at my A250 and I can only see a couple of places that could cause the sloppiness, if the side tilt lever is tight. If you take the head off the tripod, there are four Allen bolts (no...

Are you able to ascertain where the wobble originates ? is the camera tight on the head plate ?head to the tripod crown ? I'll take a look at mine, but having hard time figuring out why you're having...

Something to consider when jumping up, is what kind of budget will you have for the camera ? If you have the funds, and prefer the traditional knobs on the side for bed extensions, I'd suggest Canham...

you're getting into the country ? heard it was hard as hell to get permission to enter, even for citizens stranded overseas.

re:8x10. If you're travelling in country, I understand they are very...

Rotatrims have never failed me.

used to spend time at the David Dunlap Observatory and saw some of 8x10 plates they had. Stunning. Not sure where those plates are now. Unfortunately the observatory is surrounded by sprawl so light...

haha, meant I wonder what a colour neg or chrome would look like. LF piggyback or afocal is pretty next level work.

Whoa, stunning photograph ! Wonder how bad colour shift would be if it was colour film (vs filters)

hahaha yup. on an astro group I know, someone always posts a question on their forum asking who just got a scope cuz the clear sky charts are solid white lol

I read it as each box is $45 cheaper than Ilford, for a 25 sheet box.
