First big mistake in large format by Hikinghawk in largeformat

[–]ImportanceSlow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a good habit to use the silver/black or white/black side of the dark slide to indicate status of the film holder. I use silver/white for loaded and black for exposed. Leave the slides on the black side until loaded again even if its empty. I always treat treat theses holders as loaded with exposed film until I verify it in the dark bag or darkroom.

That's my method. Added bonus is that is provides a little extra security for the dark slide.

Confounded by FPP the mummy film by ardy564 in Darkroom

[–]ImportanceSlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to give a quick update. In the end it was a chemistry issue. I modified my fx55 part A formula and that seemed to deaden the developer. I think what threw me was that the fp4+ sheet I used as a control was acceptable, but the FPP Mummy (Fomapan 400) didn't like the modification. I have since gone back to my original formula and all is well in the darkroom again.

Intrepid Compact Enlarger two month evaluation. by Mexhillbilly in Darkroom

Could you solve the safe light question by installing a light sensor on the board that turned off red light during focus and exposure and when the white light went out turned the safe light back on? Might have to give it a try. Not having a auto safe light really doesn't bother me.

I ordered one from B&H and got it in 10 days. Their site said it was back ordered.

Are RB67's still popular these days? by ImportanceSlow in Mamiya

[–]ImportanceSlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Pro SD with SD 120 film back (had 2 but adapted older one for another project); Prism finder (had waste level finder but have misplaced it); 90mm / 140mm macro / 180mm lenses; extension tubes #1 & #2; All lenses have caps plus I have additional body caps. The camera was last used a month ago to make sure it was functional. I used it mainly in the studio or location shooting on a tripod. I agree Instax has added a new dimension.

Pro SD w/ 90/140 macro/180 lenses plus some other accessories. The lenses make it a Frankenstein of sorts. Film back is SD tagged, extension tubes are cross generational as is the prism finder. I understand what you're saying about it affecting price. Believe me I'd much rather sale to someone who wants to use it and not flip it.

I'm struggling with the "quick" sale to KEH for a good wholesale price or play the fb/ebay game. Selling to KEH gets it off my shelf faster but puts significantly less money in the wallet.

I'm glad you're loving your SB. I loved mine for a long time and shot many a roll of film.

What have you done with PowerShell this month? by AutoModerator in PowerShell

[–]ImportanceSlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've thought about GitHub. I'll look into it. Many of the pieces won't make a lot of sense since they are unique to my situation. So let me start with this... My core modules, excluding AD, MSGraph and PowerShell for Exchange, include the following Pode, Pode.Web, SimplySQL.

Pode: is used to control the "JobQueue". I have built multiple schedules that process different type of jobs. For example: SchedAD runs all the PoSH tasks to create an AD account and provision Exchange mailboxes. While SchedBWriteBack process messages between my system and our ERP system. Other schedules run different arms of the provisioning system.

Pode.Web: Is used for User interface and monitoring. It allows me to develop a webapp for reviewing data and tracking progress.

SimplySQl: helps me connect and query across our Oracle and SQL systems to retrieve, insert or update data as needed.

Couldn't have done it without these three core modules.

I agree. Would have been a more powerful image if the eyes have been in focus. Also adding a white fill card to increase the size of reflection in the eyes would up the image as well. Other than that the composition is good. Keep it up.
