    Carrying around LF camera in the back 40

    Not just a baby jogger - check out a "Nordic Cab" - stroller, bike trailer, dog sled, ect - rated for 110 pound load and has a solid plastic bottom. I have been down this road and a NordicCab is one of the best solutions out there.

    Anyone Using A Shen Hao HZX810 or HZX57-IIAT??

    I would be interested in any users opinions on either the Shen Hao HZX810 or the HZX57-IIAT. Both are the teak and titanium models classic design (not the Philips center focus design). I am looking for some information on build quality, smoothness of operating, general impressions, or...

    using blue/green led arrays as an alternative to cold light

    Check the fish tank guys - they do very bright as they want to keep coral alive in their tanks without adding extra heat - they want it to be like sunlight. Their DIY kits are not the typical kind that are used for household lighting.

    using blue/green led arrays as an alternative to cold light

    Most LED manufacturers have web sites where they give the spectrum data - you can select a white LED that will give you both the green and blue you need for VC filters. Getting a set of filters is a whole lot cheaper and easier than building the control & timing circuits you would need to work...

    using blue/green led arrays as an alternative to cold light

    Why not white and VC filters - much easier to assemble - do a google search for fish tank lights - there are a lot of people working on LED set ups for fish tanks and a few companies sell DIY kits.

  9. Interesting places in Long Island?

    Public transportation is your problem - it is really limited on LI to RR stations ( or limited bus routes which take forever to get around.) Why not rent a car for a day? Compared to RR tickets it may not be that much more and would open up a lot more options. Also, the walk from the Port...

    Is this Enlarging Meter/Densitometer any good?

    Nice tool at a fair price and takes up a lot less room than a traditional densitometer - from your post it would seem you want to do readings of negatives. The only downside would be that you would need to mount it in the enlarger to take readings - so a densitometer might be quicker if you are...
  12. Willmington, NC - Any suggestions?

    I plan to spend a few days in Willmington, NC next month - any suggestions on locations that would be "tripod friendly?"

    Berlebach Report 9033 tripod?

    Yes, but they don't lock at that angle - that is why I prefer the set up of the Uni series where you can lock the leg angle in any position you want with a handle at the top of the leg - this is also why a decided to buy a Ries which has the same set up. On ground that is not level I really...

    Berlebach Report 9033 tripod?

    I found the leg adjustments to be enough of an issue that I would want the two section leg over a three section - even if it were a little longer when folded. I also much prefer the individual leg angle set up of the "uni" series over the presets of the report series - so much so that I sold my...

    Garolite Question

    I've done clean cuts with a utility knife, I would think shears would be even better.

    If you're shooting 4x10 please chirp in

    I use a 5x7 Canham and a 4x10 Canham back. Takes very little time to switch formats in the field - the 4x10 back adds to the size of the equipment bag I carry, but it is smaller than an additional camera. For film I use the 4x10 from Ilford's special order, and I cut down 8x10. There are a...

    Zone VI type 2 baseboard

    The Zone VI baseboard used two aluminum beams that were mounted under the board. The enlarger mounted to the beams with bolts. They were "C" shaped and extended in a V shape. They were about 3" high and 1" wide - the material was about 1/8" thick. If I were making a base I would copy this...

    4x10 Film Cutter by Fotoman - Quick Review

    A recent addition to my darkroom - found doing a Google search on Fotoman cameras - I have no connection to Fotoman other than being a customer. Fotoman made ( and I think a few are still available ) a rather neat film slitter for cutting one 8x10 sheet into two 4x10 sheets. It also has a...

    Canham Focus Locks

    Unless you are working up close with a 120mm, why not use back focus for fine adjustments? Those locking levers would be easier to work with. I normally lock the front, slide the back for rough focus, lock the slide position and then fine focus using the back adjustments.

    Canham Focus Locks

    When I use mine, I try to move the back as far forward with a short lens as possible so they aren't covered. What length lens is giving you a problem?
