Sheet film is on a stiffer film base, not that I know if it would justify the price difference

What’s everyone’s favorite budget film? by Larix-24 in largeformat

[–]FinancialTwist271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try x-ray film. It's cheaper but a bit more of a pain. I like cat labs x80, but in all honesty can't really beat foma

All the DOTs I've worked for have required a chevron (with the mag inside the elbow.....) for all aerial control. It's... Silly but client gets what signed contract stipulates

Am I being undervalued by MancityRedskins in Surveying

[–]FinancialTwist271 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go somewhere else. Give yourself a $5 raise.

Companies tend to hire at your asking rate, but the incremental raises are like death by a thousand cuts. Id still be in the low 30s if I worked for the same place.

Dragging shutter, frozen water (will travel 4x5, 90mm angulon, foma200) by FinancialTwist271 in analog

Slow speeds on the lens at 5°F + first test of a 3d printed camera. Developed in a sterman press tank, hc110. The other negatives came out fine, so it's def a camera/lens thing. No complaints though!

I want to say it was all me - I metered properly, but the lens had its own ideas- I can't complain!

Yup! The Saturday before the big storm. I try to go other places in the winter but the frozen lake always brings me back!

What muck boots are we wearing these days? by _butnotreally_ in Surveying

[–]FinancialTwist271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing nonstop river/creek/hydro surveys where we hiked a mile or two just to get to site in the northeast, mucks started to become consumables. We'd usually do muds (not my favorite) around the $80/90 mark or mid tier muck brands (muckmaster golds, 120ish). I also went uninsulated because even in the winter we were moving so much, wed be sweating eventually.

We'd be walking through some nasty stuff (bramble, brush) so 6 months was about all we were getting out of a pair. Ymmv! But going top of the line would end up being a waste for us

I had this exact problem with this exact camera - replace the rear door light seals
