Stuck Filter.

I have a Hoya 1A skylight-filter on my 240mm Nikkor-W lens which I can not unscrew as I don`t have a large enough filter wrench. Any advice? :?:

Re: WTB Jobo CPP-2 Processor

Well, it definitely takes the 2500 drums (with cog drive) ; I'm not sure about the 2800 series but definitely not the Expert drums. I stand corrected, therefore it should also take a 2800 series print drum with cog-drive. I use a 2800 series drum for processing two 8x10 film sheets at a time. They`...

I don`t think that the ATL 1500 will take the Expert-Drums or the 2500/2800 series of tanks and print-drums.
I have the CPA2+lift which has the same chassis as the CPP2/ATL-1, but without the extras.

Re: [OTT?] Old computers

Shame. I saw an 'Imagine' the other week on William Eggleston, and he apparently used dye sublimation to print his colour photos. Even on the TV screen the quality looked impressive. I think Ctein might be the last person around to offer the dye-transfer process for clients. http://en.wikipedia.org...

Re: Where to reverse-process B&W in Ireland/UK

Hi all, I won't be able to do the process myself until I return to the college darkroom in September. Thanks for your time and your help :) Diarmuid 8) :D As long as you have a suitable film processing tank and a light-proof film changing bag, you probably wont need to use the college darkroom.

Re: Shen Hao

Keith I also have the TZ45IIA, which I've been very happy with. If you haven't seen any of the Shen Hao cameras, I don't live far from you (Wembury), I'd be happy to meet up if you'd like to take a look - whilst it's only the 5x4, I'm guessing that the build standard is similar across the range.

Shen Hao.

What are your opinions on this Camera brand. :?: They look to be well made and with good specifications. I particularly like the 8x10 which at just under 10LB should be fairly comfortable to carry.

Re: Light Meter options

I have read as much as I can find in the archive regarding Spot Meters and wondered what my options are as so many are no longer manufactured. I currently have a MinoltaIVF with a 5 degree attachment which it seems is not a narrow enough angle of measurement. I have found a Pentax Spot meter for sa...

Any offers for the (rather lonely) Sinar X front standard I have?

Wouldn`t that be identical to the Sinar P/P2?

Re: Which Lee Yellow filter for B&W?

Having been informed ( some time ago ) on here that my Red filter was probably the wrong thing for B&W landscapes, I was recommended to get a Yellow one. I never got around to ordering it, but I'm looking now, with the workshop in mind, but I don't know which one I should get, having little experie...
