Outstanding job - but perhaps a tighter crop?

Looks like a type 149 - Retina I prewar. Not imported into US by Kodak.

Dead Link Removed This might be what you are looking for.

I am thinking of upgrading from passive optical slave triggers to a pair of radio units. I have Pair Quantum Q flash units - is there any reason to not consider going into a pair of Quantum Free X Wire. Reliablility, ease of use, false triggers, or other concerns from current users would be...

Use a borderless type easel and a mask. Push the mask to the upper left to expose the lower margin and right side, then push the mask to the lower right to expose the upper and left margin. It helps to have a very flat mask, or a weight to keep it in contact with the paper. Because the mask...

Does anyone have experiences to share about Russian paper - Slavich Bromportrait RC silk base, or their other base for that matter? I am looking for a surface with a little texture.

Grand-daughter and her friend

In an attempt to try products other than Kodak - I have a new bottle of Berg Selenium toner that has a considerable amount of dark particles on the bottom - they look like metal flakes - selenium?? The Kodak Rapid Selenium toner I am used to using did not have anywhere this type of appearance...

Perhaps a look at the British published "Black & White Photography" would be worth a look - www.gmcpubs.com - in my opinion a very nice monthly (runs around 100 pages) with a strong traditional darkroom content. Nice mix of professional and amateur submissions.

I use a set of fiberglass window screens (Anderson) that came with our house - I dry with the print face up and stack the screens against a wall at about a 30 degree angle with an empty screen on the top. This helps the water drain off the prints. When the screens are stacked, the prints have...

Granddaughter - still waiting for me to finish shoot!

Granddaughter asking the question - Are you ready, I'm tired of smiling?

Glass spacers - Framespace and Econospace are two brands of plastic spacers for framing - try www.unitedmfrs.com for large orders, or Light Impressions for smaller lots at a higher price. Econospace is a pressure sensitive strip that attaches to the glass - in either clear or black. Framespace...

Have you given any thought about making these for sale now that you have the mold made?

Nice washer - I had one until just recently. You connect a hose to the bottom male extension - I used a standard hose clamp. Then, adjust the water flow so the water flows out the holes at the top on the opposite side - fast flow rates would sometimes cause the prints to float up due to...

Guess that should have been stated clearer - the Zone VI twin tube VC head has a sensor installed at the factory and a plug for the cable connection to the timer - with the Metrolux you need to use a cable to connect the sensor to the timer. You would also need to use a cable to connect the...

The VC head does have a voltage stabilization built in - interesting that when the Metrolux is calibrated to the head you get a read out of light values over a two minute time period - there is clearly drift in light output with my head and it drifts at both the start of a two minute period and...

I have received the timer and will answer my own original question - the probe displays the log density readings as it is placed on the baseboard - hold the probe in one place and the reading stays visible - much nicer than my RH timer which only flashed the reading. Find base + fog within the...

I am considering getting a Metrolux II timer and have a question about the optional probe. I have been to the website where there is a set of instructions for the timer only. Could someone who is using this timer and probe shed some light on how useful they find it? Can you take a density...

Were you using the mirror lock up button? I have had some success unjamming by slowing moving the shutter cocking/film advance gently forward and backwards a few times.

Omega D5500 Looks like it goes on an Omega D5500 to me.

I have owned both Mamiya 7 and Bronica RF645 - I have kept the Bronica and sold the Mamiya. The Mamiya was OK, but I liked using the Bronica so much more - (auto dark slide, viewfinder info, grip, controls on back). I found that most of the time I was doing vertical shots which the Bronica is...

I have a question about the controls built into this enlarger - Agfa C66 (which looks like a Durst 605 - except for added control panel on the back of the baseboard). There is a probe with a dial with a number scale from 0 to 7 for Sensitivity. There is a number dial for exposure with a scale...
