hey all, i have a little predicament here. Lately I have been noticing that when I develop film, expecially color film(neg), I have been getting some nasty residue on the emulsion side of my negs. I don't have the ability to do my own processing at home :mad:, but I am able to use the...

first thing that it has an advantage over the standard rubber rectangular eyecup is COMFORT. being that it is made of chamois, its really soft, and being squishy, it kind of 'molds' itself to your eye socket. So when you're shooting for extended periods of time, it helps to block out unwanted...

do they make one with an adapter for the rz prism? or will i have to "mcgyver" it? i'm guessing the large one would be the one to use, but if anyone else has some recommendations, please let me know. thanks

hi all, i've been trying to find one of these for a while (like 2 years). but no luck so far. b&H, samys and calumet all have no idea. so i'll try here. i'm looking for the round white eyecup that is for the RZ67 prism. like the one in this picture...

thanks PE =)

so PE, should i mix the stabilizer/ now final rinse with distilled water as i do with photo-flo? i have a little bit of a hard water problem in my area. not really hard, but enough to leave slight residue on negs. especially color.

Indeed, I have been using the stabilizer as Kodak reccomends. What I'm wondering is if using the distilled water/photo-flo bath after the stabilizing step will do the negs any harm in the long term. I don't want any fungus/funk eating my negs thank you very much :)

hey all, i've found that by giving my color negs a little soak in photo-flo/distilled h2o after the stabilizer step in my c-41 processing, i have been getting the cleanest negs to date. At least with my personal processing I seem to remember that someone here recommended that this not be...

now only if we can convince kodak that there is a market for 50 sheet boxes! even if it is by S.O. i switched fropm tri-x to tmax when the 50sht boxes left us. been happier than a koala in a gum tree ;)

already called em' and gave them the verbal finger :)

Well... 1. A Home, or two (money's no object after all). Designed to my specs of course =) 2. Build a big darkroom on house #1 with a Durst Horizontal 8x10 enlarger(like http://www.christopherburkett.com/home.html ----click INFORMATION ---> IN THE DARKROOM), actually have a custom color head...

hey all, i was at samys the other day looking through their inkjet(ugghhhh, will explain further) papers, and i came across the Hahnemuhle rag papers. Boy, I was impressed. They had some samples of b/w images printed on them, and they had nice feel, along with a seemingly nice tonal curve...

hey all, i gots a bit o' stuff from a local photographer who has gone all digital, and one of the things in the kit was a film proofer. namely, a HiP, hpi? well, the foam was in really bad shape, so i scraped it out, cleaned it all up, windexed the glass and now it looks pretty spank...

hi bjorn, thanks.... my meaning of stand development would probably be better suited to be called "inversion". this meaning a usual dilution of d76 1:1, using small SS tanks to process 120 and 135mm films. I have decided to standardize on one film, TMY-2, and just use d76 1:1. this way i can...

hey all, just saw this. very interesting. check it out for yourself! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ6w1esVcoY

check it out here very enjoyable. subtitled for your convenience :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ6w1esVcoY there are 2 parts

hey all, i was hoping that any of you could help me out. I know i could try this out myself, but due to being a student on a student's budget, I'm trying to conserve finances right now. My problem is this: I'm finally getting used to(around 60-80% successful) with the basic zone system...

i'll try that. thanks guys! if anyone else wants to add, please add! =)

hi all, i have a little case of G.A.S. actually, a big one... A good friend of mine recently won an arca swiss 4x5 and 2 or 3 lenses off the bay(i bid against him on fleabay accidentally, =). oops) Well, he and i went out shooting this morning in our local angeles forest. I had...

PYRO: to use it or to not use it, that is the question....... I have had very fine results so far in just D-76(actually NACCO Super 76) diluted 1:4(1:1 in D76). so far with sheet film while beginning to use a very meager "zone system", i have had no problems so far in my jobo. I have...

are you talking about the 99c store film in the little yellow boxes? thats my favorite c41 film to put in my 99c store camera! i believe it is made by fuji, but a year or so ago, i looked at the negatives, and realized that the filter pack i had to print those was very similar to my agfa...

hey all, late night post to all you out there.... I have the hair-brained idea to make some Ilfochromes. "Why" is what I'm getting from people at my local photography center. When I try to tell them about them, and how they look very different in so many ways than standard c-prints or even...

interesting. and very disappointing at the same time. I started with FCA in the beginning of color printing, and have enjoyed the product. If this is certainly true, its a sad day for those who print with it. I have started using the Kodak Supra Endura papers lately, and I'm very happy with it...

hey all, i was watching a video the other day a friend has, and it showed good ole Ansel printing on his horizontal enlarger. much drool came forth from my mouth =). so i have the hair-brained idea of converting one of the many old, LF (8X10 OR 11X14) cameras on fleabay to use as a...

well, sounds like you got a pretty sweet deal! congrats! i'm in somewhat of the same position, but being the oldest of 4 children(i'm 21), and still at home while at school. having enough room in the garage, let alone the house to enlarge is somewhat of a problem. a friend of mine got a rolling...

try the arista premium films, 100 and 400. personally i believe that this is re-badged kodak plus-x 125 and tri-x 400, IMHO. and about 1/2 the price (2.19/36exp AP 400) per roll from Freestyle. the 100 is a tad cheaper than that. good price for excellent film. i personally like to soup it...

just finished watching a show(tv), and they were talking about HCB. they were interviewing him, and he stated that he didn't know how to print. he let someone else handle the darkroom-end of things. he just shot. made no mention of film used, but being that it was in the 40's and 50's, wouldn't...

thanks all, lots of good info to look for. anyone else have idears, thoughts, etc , please let me know thanks

i'll be using bag bellows primarily(for 90 and 47). i have 3x3 filters as well, will those work better? so far on my sinar f2 the 4x4 seems to fit ok.

hey guys( and gals, the few of you on here), really basic question: I want to mount some 4x4 CC filters to the INSIDE of my LF setup when shooting some architectural projects for class(on 4x5). I have used them many a time for MF and 35, but so far, very little for LF. I have assisted for...
