    Aphrodite III

    I don’t use mine anywhere near enough, but I plan to change that. I will close the one in the UK though as it is in the laboratories and the room is used for UV microscopy and it would be difficult to do much in there now. Hopefully someone will want the processors and enlarger, etc.

    Aphrodite III

    I was thinking about New55 the other day, maybe prompted by the discussion on LF, and so I revisited some of the threads about it. That led me to this image. I was quite negative about it and, seeing it again online, I can sort of see why. However, it is still hanging on the wall of the...

    Which bed scale?? (question for large-format film shooters)

    Having the screen the wrong way round certainly would throw the focus out. Mind, depending on the image and the f-stop something should be in sharp focus and in the last one it looks like some parts are.

    Weird title, but hopefully the link works for you. There are much cheaper ones out there.

    Okay, it sounds like you are closing in on the issue. You are using a loupe, but from your description is sounds like a jewellers loupe rather one you can place on the screen. Is it? The latter will be much easier to use.

    Which bed scale?? (question for large-format film shooters)

    The scales simply show the distance between the front of the lens board and the film plane. The white scale is the normal one and the orange / red scale is for when rear extension has been applied. I assume you are focussing using the screen at maximum aperture and then stopping down to give...

    I don’t see an option, but I will check also with XenForo support.

    Working fine now, Beth. Very effective, and I love the smoke. Looking forward to the giant stone ball and hoards of creepy crawlies! ;)

    NCD - Large Format

    That does look odd, Gary. How are you agitating the film during development?

    Old Stuff - 10

    It is indeed very effective, Gary and the high contrast suits it well. And welcome to RPF @Richard Ries . :)

    Help needed with Jobo gear please

    Although I use the ATL1000/1500 processors I know little about the smaller units. Mine are all geared lid drums. The manual will certainly help. I am thinking of closing the darkroom down in the UK (but keeping the one in Germany) and will be looking to get rid of the processor so before you...

    NCD - Large Format

    I think the main articles about LF vanished when the blogs disappeared during the forum upgrade. This article (and a couple of others) survived though. I thought it might be useful / interesting. https://realphotographersforum.com/threads/anatomy-of-a-technical-camera.4327/
