have you filtered, or are you filtering your water? just a basic question, i've found that when doing my final wash on fiber prints, I let the print stand in a tray of distilled water for 15 minutes or so, with an agitation every couple minutes or so. As with ANY toning solution, I mix with...

hey matt, now, if you guys (or the service bureau in LA) could offer a cheap drum scanning service? that would be terrific! i've gotten some done over at A&I, and they were terrific, but terribly expensive, especially on a student's budget. if you could do them for the price of your imacon...

look on their website www.samys805.com

you can mail it to them. check out samys805.com and look under FILM PROCESSING -dan

EDIT!!!!!! THEY DO PROCESS SHEET FILM!!!!!! CHECK OUT THE PRICES!!!!! Dead Link Removed -DAN

hey all, i was just on my former employers site checking film prices, and I noticed that they are offering E6 Processing at the Santa Barbara store. They are taking mail-orders, and are offering push and pull services as well. this is for 35, 120/220 only, no sheet film :(. hopefully in...

no, i want lower contrast, with normal saturation. i'm looking for a slow film, with excellent reciprocity and a flatter color palette. basically, portra NC in a e6 format. -dan p.s. kind of like Kodak EPN, but slower a.s.a.

i work for a bunch of pro's here in L.A. who use portra 800 in 120 religiously... they like it because of its availability in 120, and of its neutral color palette. and the grain is very fine too, especially compared to MAX 800. i prefer to take a 400 and push +1, but in a pinch, the portra...

personally, i just use EK photo-flo with distilled water for a minute or so before hanging up to dry. i dry at room temperature, no heater, and i try to hang the negs in a place where there is little dust. some hang their negs in the shower after running it with HOT water for a minute or so, the...

thank you all for your insight. my main reason for wanting to try this is this:lower contrast . i have read that because this is a lower contrast film, mostly to counter the higher contrast of a film recorder, or reproducing a high contrast color print, that is my reasoning. also, i was...

hey all, i know that the primary use for this film is for either film-recorder duplication( digital images recorded to film, think reverse drum scanner or for art reproction of high contrast color prints according to EK, but have any of you used this before for in-camera shooting? Well...

mikes the best. he got my rz back in tip top shape after a recent CLA. works like new. and he's FAST. go mike!

the grain is very even remember, since t-max has the "t-grain", a derivative from kodak's motion picture films. if you're looking for a more "classic grain" look, you can try tri-x, but I've found that if you want to save some cash, try the Arista Premium, personally, I think it is re-branded...

interesting. may just be a custom one-off. so is it more like this hassy...

was it like this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/Mamiya-RB67-Pro-S-3-8-90mm-Magazin-Golden-L_W0QQitemZ230356912511QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFilm_Cameras?hash=item35a257897f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A2122|293%3A1|294%3A50 if so, its called the golden lizard, it was a special...

note to add: this is what I plan to be the last proofer I will even need to buy/ need ever again, period. I am also going to incorporate some threaded feet into the bottom with rubber ends, so depending on where I'm printing(school, or eventually at my home darkroom, which will be a few years...

hey all, i have a pretty simple question, but one that has been nagging me for a month or so. Problem: I have been looking to make myself a proofer, basically one that is similar to one I've seen at some commercial pro labs. It is similar to the one at this link, the 3rd from the end (on...

kodak across the board so far. well, except for acros in 4x5 and 120, cause its sooooooooooo cheap :). and sooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooood!!! I I've been experimenting with the Fuji Velvia 50, and have been rating it at 40 sometimes, so far with great results. the slight overexposure...

welcome back to the "dark side" :) -dan

where are you that you are paying that much for 10 sheets of film? have you ordered from b&h or samys online? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/396036-REG/Fujifilm_15474763_Pro_160S_4x5_Professional.html http://www.samys.com/product_detail.php?item=2049 personally, i would shoot the...

i've used that one as well, very nice camera. the only thing is, my brain can't really use rangefinders in a faster-paced shooting environment. i started out with an slr at the beginning, and i think i'll have to stay with it. i like the 'less than 3 feet' capabilities of slrs such as the rz...

and its beautiful stuff too!!!!

hey all, I gots a guy who've I've been assisting for for a while, and he's asked me if I'd be interested in buying his Pentax 67II off of him, since he has gone all dig!t@l :(. As I've worked for him for a while, he's offering me a sweet deal, I might just do some trade work for him if he'll...

From what I've found the 2 times I've used the flexbody, it was a treat to use. Albeit, quite slow compared to standard medium format cameras. But then again, it wasn't designed for fast-paced fashion shooting either :). If you're looking at just minor perspective control, they are nice and...

its as simple as "try it out, and whichever one works for your needs better, use it and don't look back". easy as that. find something that works, and stick with it. unless you like changing out your kit on a somewhat constant basis. -Dan

Not to add insult to injury, but I shoot both.... I was able to land a sweet deal on a RZ ProII kit with a 65 f4, 110 f2.8, and a 180 f4. i got 3 backs and a motor winder all for 1100 bucks, including a pelican case. I got it from a former instructor of mine who went all dig!, but after seeing...

hey all, have any of you guys(or gals) out there ever used this kit before? Its expensive, since it only makes 1 qt, but I've really been thinking of giving it a try, since a friend of mine has been considering it as well (50/50 split on price). http://www.calumetphoto.com/item/KP02005/...

so did you have drum scans made of the slides? From personal experience, they are leaps and bounds better than any other type of scan done. But this is for another site, no more from me :) -dan

thanks for the info guys! i'll have to troll the local labs and see if they have some canisters i can try it out on! -dan

hey all, i gots me a predicament here. i got a 100' roll of tri-x a year or so back, and its been staring at me every time i open the fridge to get something :(. i have been trying to find a source for some cheap 35mm reloadable cassettes, but after searching the 'Bay to no avail(except the...
