Large Format Photography Australia

Hi Gerry, Lachlan's suggestions are very good. You mentioned you're using the SP445; I've never used that tank myself (I'm using a Jobo), but I see there's some hints and tips on the SP445 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTrtU0bhArQ including agitation. As Lachlan has suggested, it could be an ag...

Hi Walter,

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I'm sure I speak on the behalf of all the forum regulars in wishing you a speedy recovery, and hopefully back to photography before too long.

I intend to set up an all-new system in parallel and then migr...

Normally we get a slow but steady trickle of people joining the forum only to end up being spammers trying to sell stuff which is VERY unrelated to large format photography; I delete these posts and their accounts as soon as I can. But last night it seems to have become an avalanche, and there's no ...

Hi Dean, welcome to the forum.

I don't do a lot of scanning myself, but when I do I use my cheap-and-cheerful flatbed Epson. However I'd be interested to learn more about the world of drum scanning, I hear that they can get very good results.
