Great place to go - just wish there had been more advance notice as I have family plans that can't be changed.

Near Boston (about 45 min from Logan Airport) you will find Rockport, Mass. and its small harbor that has been the subject of a lot of photos & paintings. The surrounding Cape Ann area has a rocky coastline and a lighthouses. On the southern part of Cape Ann is Gloucester, Mass. with its...

Thanks for the information - I painted the outside white to match the cabinets it will fit into, so I will paint the inside white also. UV absolutely does reflect, as anyone who has been on the Salt Flats out here in shorts but no underwear can attest. - I am trying to picture this - (no...

Get the 4x5 - even if you never move up to the 4x5 size negative, you will be able to do bigger prints than you can with a 23C - also the lens is further away from the supports on a 45 so you have more room to move the easel around. No baseboard is not a problem, you can easily lay a piece of...

I am making a plywood box to hold a series of UV lights - what color should the interior be? White paint, or should I use aluminum flashing? Or does it matter? Thanks -

I have a VC type 2. I have a Beseler 5x7 Negaflat carrier that I use. They are not common, it fits and does a nice job of holding a negative flat.

Originally, I put this in the wrong thread - I have received some cards - very nice - really glad I joined this enterprise. So far I have gotten cards from: Chis - love the live tree surrounding the tombstone Rachelle - great IR shot - another reason for Kodak to bring this film back Lori -...

I have sent mine out today - also got my first two in the mail today. As a first timer this is interesting - I am looking forward to seeing what everyone has selected to do.

They will work just fine using IR - there have been a number of threads recently about this - search here and also on the large format forum. There was also an article recently in View Camera magazine about the "toy" goggles and how to use them.

When possible - I use a jogging stroller to "carry" tripod, camera & gear - I would rather push than carry.

Yes, but I also use to for developing sheet film by inspection which I find also well worth the expense.

ATN Viper - About $275 new with headgear.

Another vote for IR goggles for working with film loading - I have been using them for a few years and have found them to be worth every penny they cost me.

I have used both the 400 and the 500 units - I doubt you will notice a difference. But they are different in noise levels - the 400 does not use a fan for cooling - the 500's fan will run for about a minute after each exposure. The 400 head is all metal and larger than the 500 which has some...

Anyone have any idea who makes this camera? Seems like a very low price for a new 4x10 plus holders. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280316158604

POCKETSPOT - it may be more than you want to spend at $425 new - but it is the smallest meter out there. I have one and have sold my other meters because I like it so much. About the size of a match box and does everything the others will do except flash readings...

This is just one - there are more - search under IR or Nightvision - (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Try IR goggles and develop by inspection - It was the best $200 I have spent on darkroom equipment. For the last 6 months I have been using an IR headset with tanks and hangers. Just like working with paper in trays - pull the film and look at the image, when it looks right into the stop...

Thanks for clearing that up -

I have an old wood printing frame that has a dial and counter on the back. It is a half moon shape dial with an arm that can be moved to points around the edge - it is numbered from 1 to 9. Could someone explain what you would use the numbers on the dial for?

I am new to this system - What is a 4x5 back for a RB? Is this a Mamiya product or something else? Are you getting a full 4x5 negative with it - or something smaller? Thanks -

Short answer - yes, yes, and yes. It is a job for a pro to adjust the rangefinder, but not a major repair. If you plan on selling - either get it fixed, or mention the need for an adjustment.

I really like this! The eyes and smile are just perfect -

Is there a price on the 5x7?

Why not consider a Canham - about the same price as a Chamonix 5x8, but made in the USA - with good service.

Diafine - if you are looking for something easy to use with everything.

Seems like a simple solution to a common problem - like a lens filter wrench with long handles - thanks for sharing - I think I will be building one of these real soon.

At $2000 - why not a Canham 5x7? Made in USA and backed up with outstanding service.

Thanks - both of these opened up fine - I do like your idea of putting reference information on the back side of the exposure record.
