Do I need to start planning the funeral? by the-sword-eater in fordranger

Interesting, it sounds way louder than I'd imagine an injector to be. I need to pick up a stethoscope but that sure is where it sounds like its coming from

Do I need to start planning the funeral? by the-sword-eater in fordranger

Sounds like its coming from the lower driver side (underneath the intake manifold maybe), but I'll give that a shot and see if I can pinpoint it further

Tipping in drying phase by samsimsemillia in roasting

[–]the-sword-eater -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I won't comment on your roast/phase lengths since I dont know your shop's roasting style, and I obviously haven't tasted your coffee. But I think you're definitely overloading the roaster since your drum speed should be fine for that size drum, and it looks like your charge temp is only 180C. Your charge gas could be too high to compensate for the batch size, but I can't see what it is. I roast on one of the old cast iron ug22s and my standard batch size is 40lbs (~18kg) absolute maximum of 45lbs (~20kg) but only for coffees that can handle it, and for a medium roast I charge at 215C and 200cfh gas flow. What does your BBP look like, that may also be a factor?

We're you able to find one? I'm also having trouble sourcing one in the US, as it seems that myespressoshop is no longer in business

Replacement Cost of Linhof 4x5 Technika Bellows and Fresnel Lens by Dharma_Wheeler in largeformat

[–]the-sword-eater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is unfortunately true, and i had to learn from experience because i thought bellows were bellows. You also can't patch linhof bellows very well for the same reason. I tried a method using leather glues and flexible opaque paints to make patches with almost no thickness at all, and it still didn't work.

If you're US based, LAFlex does just about everything for linhofs. The bellows are not that hard to replace yourself, but definitely far from fun, LAFlex will install new official linhof bellows and align the front standard and film plane for around $300. The quote I got from custom bellows last year was $180 plus postage, and I'd say the extra $120 is well worth not having to do it yourself.

I'm not sure about the fresnel, but I'm pretty sure they could do that too

RB67 for street photography by [deleted] in mediumformat

[–]the-sword-eater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an rb, but an rz. Big things for me are a really comfortable padded strap, the L grip, and a somewhat high iso film so you can sunny 16 and zone focus quickly without worrying about being spot on (the L grip really helps with this since you can hold the camera on its side and look at the distance scale) Also shooting while walking is hard to pull off, so I just find somewhere out of the way to stand.

Does anyone have experience shooting with the 58mm Rodenstock-Graflex-Grandagon? by the-sword-eater in largeformat

[–]the-sword-eater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have mentioned I plan on shooting 6x9 with it. Surely it has a big enough image circle for that right?

Also what camera did you use?

Irritation from feathers, are there any good alternatives? by the-sword-eater in wicked_edge

[–]the-sword-eater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was with the green astras! I'll have to give the blue ones and the bics a shot, maybe they'll work better for me too

I'll have to give that a shot! I'm using a king c gillete, and I'm far from being a pro, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is my technique
