My friend just picked up her new Wisner 8x10. She had ordered it quite a
while ago and delivery seemed interminable. Finally it arrived with no lens
board. It did not occur to her to order one at the onset.

After a previous thread where I asked questions about the 4990
scanner, I went out and got one.   Here is a page showing a
comparison of the Epson with a drum scan, and an older HP7400
scanner:

Series size of #9. #10, #11 in MM.  Is there a URL?  Have some 105 and want
to get some step downs.

I'm familiar with B&W sheet film, DDs and home processing single 5x4 sheets
of film.  I also have a Polaroid 545 film holder/processor.
If I move into using Fujichrome with my field camera, how do I get the
exposed film sheet to a processing lab?  Are the sheets packaged singly?  Is

When I saw the thread "streaks," I immediately thought of streaks of
good photos and not development problems.
Has anyone had a good streak of photos? It seems like I can take photos
that are good techincally, but it's hard to nail an image that has that

I'm going to Yosemite (first time!) in late June and I'm pumped! I'd like to
get some suggestions from you all as to some of your favorite photo
locations in that region. I'll have a week to explore the area so I'd like
to hit a variety of sites. Also, I've never flown with my LF ...

Hi Folks.  A while ago I purchased a Black Jacket focusing hood for my
Sinar monorail.  It works very well. It's light weight, low bulk, and it
does an excellent job blocking light from around the back of the camera.
Plus, it's very easy to use. I highly recommend it. You can get ...

  Going on my first trip to Californ-i-a will be there in August,
going along the coast, Big Sur -Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park
with my 4x5 B&W and color films, any thoughts or suggestions
for good must see places? Sort of limited to about two or

Well, I took PGG's advice and called bill and told him I was pissed,
and why.  Unfortunately, I only left a voice mail, but today he's
called me three times to assure me the screen is on its way and to
offer enhancements to my Nikon screens for free to make it up to me.

Linhof Technika V and Linhof Color 4x5
I have two new ground glasses to install on the backs of these cameras. I
cannot tell if the glass in them now is original or replacements. Old glass
has a width of 4.99"; the replacement is 4.92"

What exactly is a "streak" on a negative?
One of my recently developed negatives as what you might call a streak.  I
use a Unicolor drum on a roller that also has a rocking motion.  Either I
somehow got a streak, or I suppose it is possible that the negative got

Well, as I told the group over a month ago, I ordered two focusing screens
from Bill Maxwell, an RB67 enhancement, and a 4x5 for my shen hao.  I got
the enhancement right away, and then he called and said he sent the RB
'cause he was having problems getting his hands on the cover ...

I found a barely readable old article on the Tele-Xenar lenses that
suggested that the rear lens cluster could be exchanged with others to make
different focal lengths - and there was an optional tele-extender that fit
behind the existing rear cluster.

Bench Test Data On Some Lenses For Enlarging
Single lenses of unknown history.
Field is in inches, Resolution is in lines/mm

I'm sorry, but it's realy funny to me how that earlier thread on Bill
Maxwell has denegrated into two idiots ganging up to beat up on what are
obviously fine photographs of mine.  Sure, I'm no Ansel Adams, or whatever,
but I put my best foot forward, like any adult does, and all ...
