not sure if this is the place to post this or not, but will anyhow. just saw this and thought that i'd share with the community. maybe the deal you've been looking for! http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/art/1142650189.html lots of enlargers, most used, demos, etc. lenses as well

i have started using this paper at the recommendation of one of the girls at freestyle, and I have to say that I am very impressed. Similar in quality to Ilford, but I like the larger amount of silver it has in it versus the Ilford stuff. To me it seems to have more depth, especially when toned...

I have decided to go to the Art Center, I'm located roughly 20 miles from it as i write this. 2F/, you are right. They(Art Center) do have you use 4x5 during the second term, but regretably, people aren't using it as much as they probably should. With all of this new digital technology coming...

hi, i am using an Imacon flextight 646 scanner. it is at my local photography center (covina, ca). I have had no problems scanning so far, just using the standard rgb settings as a starting point. since then i have created some profiles that i use, mostly with a minor curves adjustment to...

i know this is a weird question, but it is to satisfy my parents who think that by putting b/w chemistry down the toilet will ruin it. I want to start developing my b/w and maybe color negs at home, versus at school but have very limited space (may have to go outside). my main reason is...

i have also heard of people making a diluted solution of de-ionized, de-mineralized h20. the idea is to make a less-concentrated cleaner. any experience?

hey all, was scanning some of my newly shot kodachrome last night, and noticed that there were some stuck dust particles to some of the film. So, out i got the pec-12 and a few pads to clean with, but after cleaning the slide, i noticed that there was a pinkish residue on the pec-pad. i...

is the 1:9 from the stock solution(already mixed with water, ready to use for print developing) sorry, have never done this before. and without a regular source of income right now, looking, i have to watch my pocketbook for any undue expenses, that's why i shoot acros :)

also, i have heard of people making black and white slides using c-41 color neg films in dektol and then using a reversal bath to create them. not the finest grained pieces of film, but have any of you experience with this? if so, please let me know thanks

hi all, had to ask this one as soon as i heard it with my own ears. A friend of mine was telling me about how a woman who shot for Vogue back in the 50's used Dektol as her film developer. It gave hear a very graphic, high contrast look and obviously gave her the look she wanted. I am very...

well, I would imagine that the best way to enlarge would be horizontally, if you already aren't set up that way. The only thing about making prints that big is maintaining a water bath for the trays to keep temperature. Using trays for color is definitely possible, but without a watchful eye and...

i definitely second this one. shoot it while its available! just out of curiosity, does anyone know the difference between KR64 and the professional version, PKR64? if so, please let me know. just wondering why it's 50% more expensive on bh's site. thanks

i thought that there was only processing for 35mm kodachrome now, no more 120. please correct if wrong...

hi all, again... I've decided that I want to start developing my own c-41/e6 at home from now on, rather that using the facilities at my local photo program. This is where I will continue to use the darkroom(not enough space in my house to hold one of my own, i'm the eldest of 4 kids). But...

That's why I'm using it! Besides, it has a much different look than any other slide film that I've shot. Velvia is nice, Ektachromes are nice, but Kodachrome, its Superb!

Just out of curiosity though, I've heard that scanning Kodachrome is somewhat of a task versus regular reversal films. What is it that makes it so difficult to scan? I'm pretty good with color correction, but is it just that it has not been formulated for scanning, as many of the current E6...

thanks! i'm well aware of the kodachrome project, and support it a lot! I really hope that Kodak decides to keep this line of film up, even if only for sentimental value!

Just got my first 3 rolls of Kodachrome back from the Kansas guys, and I have to say, "I'm in Love!!!" Albeit it isn't the finest grained slide film that I've shot, still shoot lots of velvia 100 and provia 100/400, but this is different. Maybe its because I haven't seen any shots of my...

hi all, just got some film back from the lab(e6) and want to mount it myself, to see how its done, and to have more control over how my film is handled. not that i'm a freak or anything :) i've seen many kinds of slide mounting apparati on the 'bay, and in particular the polaroid...

Most pros I assist for like film better Well done Kristopher! Many of the photographers that I assist for on a regular basis still use film frequently. Most of them use it because the client wants c-prints, but also because the results can be determined immediately which one is better, film or...

Well done Kristopher! Many of the photographers that I assist for on a regular basis still use film frequently. Most of them use it because the client wants c-prints, but also because the results can be determined immediately which one is better, film or digital? film wins 90% of the time. Now...

howdy all, i just developed my first roll of c-41 yesterday night, and am quite thrilled at the prospect of saving some cash this year by doing it myself! After the negatives were finished drying; i made a contact sheet. I noticed that there is a very definitive line of under/over development...

people are still buying brand new leica m7 systems and lenses. not poor people obviously =), but people who know quality, rather than quantity. saw a guy at samy's the other day get one with a 50 f2 summi and a 35mm . dropped somewhere in the neighborhood of 15K for the setup after no tax(sale)...

This last year sales of film have declined, but that is just inevitable. Film has lost its connection to family memories, like it was just a few short years ago. I see people coming in with their used equipment looking to trade it in for "the latest and greatest" digital equipment because they...
