What went wrong here???
It could have worked so well.... I was asked to take some portraits and shot mostly on digital and then took two sheets of 10x8 Ilford HP5. The set-up was Calumet/Cambo 10x8 monorail with Symmar 300mm F5.6 lens, 1/15 second at f5.6. Developed in a Paterson Orbital in Rodinal 1+50 for (I think) 13 mi...

Re: Paterson Orbital Processor
Thanks Patrick. I tend to presoak the film before developing, so maybe it's worth a try to remove the fins.

Re: Paterson Orbital Processor
Has anyone processed 10x8" film in an Orbital with the fins removed?
The reason I ask is that I've wondered whether the fins are causing uneven development on the edges of the film, but then I'm also concerned that 10x8 would 'float' in the Orbital as there are no pegs to hold it down?

Large Format Photography Challenge video
I made a short, light-hearted, film last week about a chap who has never used film before (!) being given the challenge of photographing an event with an MPP Mk8 and 12 sheets of Tri-X.

Re: Clevedon Pier
Hi Patrick
I went there with my daughter on a Sunday afternoon when it was busy and used the Razzle handheld with a bag of DDSs over my shoulder, so I must have just looked like an eccentric!!!

When I used to work for a weekly newspaper I photographed fireworks many times on 35mm or on a Rolleiflex 6x6, usually on Tri-X 400asa on Bonfire Night. The technique involved stopping down to f16, opening the shutter on B and covering the lens when there weren't any fireworks going off to stop too ...

Another thing to bear in mind is possibly having to pay customs/import duty as it comes in to the UK. I bought an old Crown Graphic from the USA a few years ago and had to pay well over £30 import duty/handling fee, plus a trip to the couriers depot to collect it, which meant it wasn't as much of a ...

WTB: inexpensive 150mm lens
I'm after a usable 150mm lens, preferably an oldish Symmar or Xenar to fit on my 1950s MPP MicroPress.
If the shutter's not working it won't be a problem as I can use the focal plane shutter on the camera.
