I bought a copy camera, for almost nothing, just to get access to three
G-Claron lenses and one M-Componon 80mm lens.  I have information about the
G-Clarons, but can't find information on Schneider web site about the

Since I'm new to 8x10 my film is current some thrift-shop-purchased
TMax 100 which I'm developing in HC-110(b).  Results are pretty nice

I am interested in loading my own film cartridges.  I have run into one
question I have not yet been able to find an answer for: how do you print a

graded projection speed print paper.

  A teammate of mine, lent me a Saunder LPL with Nikkor lens. Works very
