Bottom line, they do great without charging. I'd be willing to pay as I do here but considering they have had three outages in ten years with no significant data loss the current set up seems to be just fine.

My thoughts as well, Roger.

And I took the opportunity to go out and expose some 8x10 and 11x14 sheets of film this weekend! Now I'll be able to check LFF as I am washing the negs!

I got me today a box of 4x5" Fomapan 100 and ordered a box of Fomapan 100 in size 18x24 cm (almost 8x10" but not exactly) for my old Russian FKD plate camera in a local store in Maastricht, The Netherlands (Foto Rembrandt). A nice store with a lot of knowledge about analogue photography. They also had about 10 different types of B&W photo paper (Ilford and Fomaspeed) and in different sizes, many different developers (liquid and powder) and a lot of film. So I also got me a back of assorted paper, 120 roll films (Rollei, Agfa and Fomapan) and extra developer (Amaloco 74, Rodinal Oneshot and a Rollei C-41 kit).
I also got me about 5 rolls of expired Fuji color films $2.00 each and a new darkroom red light.

I had a good day

BTW: They had also some nice 2nd hand cameras, like a Zeiss Ikon rangefinder, old Canon, Nikon. Bronica, Mamiya 7 and Leica film cameras and many nice lenses.
Even a new Ilford Obscura Pinhole Camera 4x5" and many other nice analogue new stuff from Leicas to Holgas, film sheet holders, darkroom equipment, etc.
Also a 2nd hand Fuji X100 and Leica M9.
I thought about the Zeiss Ikon rangefinder for Euro 795, but don't really need it next to my Leica M7 ....

Petronio strikes hard.

Frank Petronio was holding the server hostage. He demanded they put his right wing treatise on the front page for one week before he would release it. After a week of negotiating terms were reached whereby LFPF would ban Kirk for one week for being over sensitive and they would send Frank a box of Portra 4x5. He dropped the demand for front page carnage although I understand Frank has been invited to Washington to do a nude photo shoot of Ted Cruz which Frank wants to be able to post to the Nude thread.

I did: "a local store in Maastricht, The Netherlands (Foto Rembrandt)." And they also do mail order. Ask for Indra Moonen: she is their specialist in analogue photo & darkroom equipment. She will be looking for me for a 2nd hand Kaiser tray heater and a Jobo processor (I want to try C-41 processing).

Very cool, lots of info, and I love that picture! The walkway has been re-done but looks like they kept the original stones

So "next time I'm in the Netherlands" I'll have to check it out lol

Strange, at first even when other people could get in, it just wasn't loading on my app, but now it's fixed thank goodness!

As I was going from one page to another in a thread, LFF died. I checked to see if it was just me, but apparently not.

So that's why it's not loading... Fun!!! Grrr and I was trading stuff... That LFF is like the old guys who are on it, some days they just don't want to get up in the morning, and then others they get up before you and make you feel like a wuss

Well, it will come back eventually...

Roger Cole · Dec 16, 2013

Loads fine for me, less than an hour after Stone's post.

TheToadMen · Dec 16, 2013

I'm not sure what you mean with "LFF died", but there is no problem with the "Large Format Photography Forum" all day on my end of the internet. I can visit the forum and read lots of new posts today...
Are we looking at the same forum?? We're talking about the http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/search.php?searchid=2392593, aren't we?

Or did you mean the Louisiana Family Forum (LFF) or something else??
