Yes using the 17675x extension tube as per picture. The ease is small up to 8x10 but has the same thickness as my 11x14 Leitz easel. I thought it was 2cm but could be 2.5 The solution was the pin position. I just never touch that part and totally forgot about it.

That’s exactly what it was. 2 minute job to set the autofocus once that was fixed. Feel pretty stupid now but thanks a lot !!

Hi, I have a Focomat 1c and can't seem to set the autofocus anymore. I used it with a nonstandard easel and had to undo the previous setting. went back to my normal Leitz easel that as the required 2cm height. I followed instructions in the manual as per attached. Insert negative set largest...

Wow. That’s cool. I was thinking of building some type of mirror attachment to reflect the light backwards away from the subject and trigger the slave, but this would be a cool permanent solution

I have a 120 holga with a built in flash and no hot shoe. How can I trigger an off camera flash with my holga but at the same time block the built in flash from hitting my subject?

I cant process slide film at home. Of course i’ll run a few test shots with the end of another roll. But the digital test shots should work as well. I just have to figure out how to remotely trigger the flash from the Pentax SLR.

I have a tripod and light stands. In order to keep things simple I’m thinking of a small speed light instead of the alien bee strobe. Any manual flash should do right? The issue is have is with the remote trigger now. I want to take test shots using my canon digital camera. I know the...

Well, the LED has a setting for temperature. I assume for Provia 100f I’ll set that to 5600 Kelvin?!

Wow guys. Thanks so much for all the ideas. And the pdf manuals! I didn’t have those. I’m I want to get this right. The jeans project is kind of a test run for pregnancy number 2. A buddy of mine gave me a LED constant light source and a stand. I will get the alien bee strobe above with...

I’m gonna with a 50mm so I won’t be too far away. Maybe 2 meters. The other light option I have is the attached one. No idea how to use it but I can get it used from a friend for cheap.

Wow perfect! That’s exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

I have a Nikon SB-E

I want to photograph the evolution of a pair of jeans over a year on provia 100f. Take the same shot every 10 days to fill the roll. It’ll be at home on a tripod with different light conditions every time. I’ve done something like this project before when my wife was pregnant with our son. I...

Adding 6x6 capability in the darkroom is one of my dreams, yes. I have a bunch of holga rolls waiting to be printed. Here in Tokyo it’s a luxury having a dedicated darkroom. I’m planning to move to Europe in the next few years and build something proper there. It’s good to still have dreams.

The idea is to have the entire pregnancy on one roll and enlarge as a big contact sheet in LF enlarger (rental darkroom) I have a Leitz Focomat 1c from 1954. Its amazing but does only 35mm. Have a LPL MF enlarger but no space to set it up for now.
