    What's the best 120 film in your opinion?

    Delta 100 for most my work and Bergger 400 (shot at 200 but processed at 400 times)

    How to find filter size of lens?

    It does fit over the front of the lens. Got distracted from the rugrats and didn't go back and reread the post to see if it made sense. When the kids want attention, they want attention and they want it now. Plus I don't use forums that much so I am just winging it on what to include in the...

    How to find filter size of lens?

    I have two lenses for my 4x5 camera and I am wanting to buy contrast filters for b&w photography. However, I don't have any idea what the filter size would be for the lenses. One is 210 mm and the other is 135 mm. The cap on the 135 mm has ø42 on the inside of the front cap, and the 210 mm does...

    Film for great skin tones with strobes

    I always get great results using Delta 100 box rated. I usually add a yellow filter for a little bit of fairer skin (and even sometimes an R25 red filter), and then I compensate the lips with lipstick to make them darker.

    The question I always wanted to ask - Storing negatives in folders

    I store my negatives (medium and large format) in plastic archival sleeves in 3-ring binders standing vertically like they were made to. No problems with curling or anything else in the last 20+ years.

    Very old Ilford and Oriental paper. Is it still any good to print?

    I just acquired a bunch of Ilford FB and Oriental FB paper from my uncle. Both have glossy finishes. The paper is about 15-20 years old, and it was not kept in a refrigerator or freezer. It was kept in the top of a bedroom closet in a dry and hot climate. I have never printed with old paper so I...

    Solarizing film negative

    https://www.christinazanderson.com This was one of my professors in college and she does a lot of experimental work in photography. On of the things she taught was solarization of both film and paper. I remember doing it on both, but that was too long ago to remember how to actually do it. If...

    What is a good set of lenses for large format?

    Thanks for all of the comments and info. It looks like a 300mm is on set for the future with a possible 90mm or 75mm.

    What is a good set of lenses for large format?

    Yes I am just wondering what a good telephoto for 4x5 is and maybe a good wide-angle too so that I can be ready for any situation. I would like to capture mountains/mountain ranges that I can't easily get close to and wide vista of the open southwest where I live. So what would be a good...

    What is a good set of lenses for large format?

    I just got back into large format last month after 13 years. When I was using large format back then, I was mainly working in the studio and had a 90mm and a 150mm lens set which worked well for what I was doing. Now I am mainly focusing on landscapes with the occasional portrait session. I have...
