Re: Metering, what's gone wrong?

Sticky or inaccurate shutters, also I would think unlikely but I guess I should try and test this somehow, 1 second sounds like 1 second. Hi Paul, you can use Audacity and a Microphone and simply record the shutter sound. That way you can measure the duration between the shutter spikes... Best rega...

Re: Metering, what's gone wrong?

Hello Paul, I also had a lot of underexposed picture problems in the beginning, also using RVP50 transparencies and a combined spot meter and incident meter. I was only using the spot meter and tried to meter the brightest and darkest tones and place them. Sometimes it worked well, sometimes not. Th...

Re: WTB: Jobo CPE 2

Hello Joe!

I recommend to look out for a version with lift!
Really makes it easier/faster/cleaner to change chemicals...

Note that if you do, you'll need the Drum version with "Zahnkranz" (crown gear)

Best regards,
Martin

Hi Joe,

Re: No more 3 bath Fuji kits?

Yeah, please post your experiences with the Tenetal Kit!!!
Sooner or later I'll also have to switch either to a Fuji 6-bath or a Tenetal 3-bath :'-(

Re: LF vs APS-C

Hi Wilson, Concerning detail, Tim Parkin's landscape magazine "On Landscape" did a thorough test of different camera systems: http://www.landscapegb.com/2011/12/big-camera-comparison-comments/ that could interest you. Amongst them is a Nikon D3x (35mm full frame digital, bit more quality than APS-C,...

I already thought about getting a used one to have a monorail at hand

Re: Hi from Austria

Hi Emmanuel,

the Austrian manufacturer is Lotus View Camera, may I ask you who the French manufacturer is?

(I assumed Arca-Swiss is at least in the French-speaking part of Swiss or are they really French?)

Best regards,

Altough I went through some baptism by fire (mostly exposure related), so far this journey went we...
