I’m in a long and drawn out conversation with someone else (talking weeks between return messages), but I’m open to all comers (as the actress said to the Bishop...)
Be careful what you believe and thus, do. You seem to be chasing shadows (pun possibly intended) too quickly. Not using a Stop chemical can be fraught with danger. It’s been accepted practice for many, many people for many, many years. Just because one person says don’t use it doesn’t make that Gosp...
First one has a light leak (possibly when you’ve removed/replaced the dark slide). The others have mottling; possibly from too little developer, too slow in the application of the developer (pour quicker!), over agitation, under agitation, stale fixer and/or developer being too strong.

Beseler enlarger with Rodenstock 150mm Rodegon lens. No idea on the condition of the lens, but the aperture moves freely. Powers up nicely, but I’ve never got around to trying it.

This has occurred since Fox-Talbot had his epiphany. To believe that we have reached the zenith of the purs...
$3000. Another little piece of history. This is the original Shen Hao 617 camera, made in conjunction with Mr Zhang at Shen over a decade ago. This came about when I commissioned him to build a 6x17cm field camera around my [existing] DaYi film back. There was a hole in the market when it came to pa...
