I live in Sugar Hill. Have there been any get togethers since this post started?

Yes, it definitely states Aug09. I will mix and test it. Thanks for the input!

Found an expired pack of D-76 dated Aug 09. Any good to use? :confused:

They'll be used for a large format lens. Thanks for the ideas!

I've been looking at buying a spanner wrench. I have seen two sizes on Ebay: 1/32" tips and 3/32" tips. Would I be correct in buying the 3/32" tips? Thanks, Bryan

Thanks, everyone. -Bryan

The box is labeled W45 and a small sticker on top of the head says W45, hand-written.

Am I assuming correctly, that a W45 lamp is compatible with graded paper and the V54 lamp is compatible with both graded and VC paper?

I found an Aristo Cold Light Head at a photo store. It was a good deal, so I purchased it. $170. Got it home and realized, after reading some threads here, that it has the W45 lamp. Because I will be printing on VC paper, should I take this one back and look for a head with the V54 lamp...

I'm going to run a sheet of film through it this weekend. Can't wait!

Thanks for the responses. I got the camera, lens, reducing back (4x5), tripod, and one holder for $949.00. I think I did pretty good!

I found a Kodak 8x10 Master Camera with a 14" Kodak Commercial Ektar Lens for $799. Everything looks in good condition. Is that a good price? Thanks, Bryan

A few years back, B&W Magazine featured an expanded article on Brett which mentioned that he did soak his negatives until the emulsion became dislodged from the gelatin base.

Food for thought from Ayn Rand, philosopher, from the book "The Ayn Rand Lexicon": A certain type of confusion about the relationship between scientific discoveries and art, leads to a frequently asked question: Is photography an art? The answer is: No. It is a technical, not a creative skill...

How about some semi-proper grammar... Ten foot lift. I would guess no more than 2-3 gpm. -Bryan
