Your handle reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffany’s a movie I love

I see in pic 2 we have the same old Linhof. They are great cameras in studio.

Re: Elwood enlarger
Yes one of the nicest cameras I have owned,unfortunatley I like to do city scapes and that camera is house bound so if an old Burke and James or some other 5x7 feild camera comes up I will be selling it and missing the beautiful movments.

150mm G-Claron...I can print to 30x40 inches vertically with my Zone VI with this wonderful little lens. It is optimized at f/22...no problem for me with a Heiland head - but my guess is that your 500 watts should be fine, and f/16 is very close...performance wise.

Uh.....Randy, I'm about as white as Wonder Bread. "Fujicaman" came about due to my use of Fujica 35mm SLR's back in the day!

I was referring to the movie

Sorry for the confusion

I made and make no assumption about you

I just made my first enlargement with the Elwood in its new home. This time I set it up with the original 500w bulb and oh boy is that to much light with modern paper! I was looking at less than 5 seconds at f45. I found a tip on another forum. Replace the bulb with an E40 type decorative bulb at 100w and use a socket extender to place the bulb in the proper position. Now F11 at 30 seconds. Much better and the first print looked evenly illuminated.

Well I got the enlarger set up but as of now no 5x7 negs to print I am waiting for an order of film to arrive and then one of the Steadman 8x10 processors ,can anyone suggest a source for developed in focus negs I would like to obtain one to fine tune the enlarger/lens.

eBay and Etsy have many

Do you have the necessary glass plates in the film carrier?

If you buy a glass plate negative it can be used alone

or scratch up something. even paper to test with

Wax paper?
