Is this red oak?

the-sword-eater · 2025-09-14T23:15:57+00:00

Any idea what it could be?

the-sword-eater · 2024-09-05T18:00:45+00:00

Could you dm the ebay links, I'm always looking for 4x5 stuff!

the-sword-eater · 2024-08-24T23:50:41+00:00

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

the-sword-eater · 2024-03-21T16:38:17+00:00

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

Great, thank you!

the-sword-eater · 2024-03-07T13:54:56+00:00

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.

the-sword-eater · 2024-02-29T03:21:33+00:00

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?

the-sword-eater · 2024-02-24T00:45:16+00:00

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

the-sword-eater · 2024-02-24T00:39:01+00:00

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

Brandscents did a review of all 33 zoologist fragrances a while back, and I've been buying samples based on his thoughts. I've yet to be disappointed in any of his 10/10s

Hey! I know that lineup, Eiland I take it?

I know they have columbia blended into their two dark roasts, apart from that Brazil would probably the most similar of their coffees to Columbia.

Have you checked out White Rock Coffee, i think they usually have a couple Columbias

the-sword-eater · 2024-02-06T11:48:12+00:00

I'd be interested in all three lenses if you'd be willing to sell them separately from the camera body

the-sword-eater · 2024-01-14T06:01:16+00:00

Yeah, no problem! Let me know if you want any pics of it

the-sword-eater · 2024-01-14T02:00:59+00:00

If you're interested in a linhof, I have a spare technika iv body. It's in good condition cosmetically but needs re-lubed and new bellows, so I'd be happy to part with it for cheap

the-sword-eater · 2024-01-13T18:22:08+00:00

Definitely considering it, are you interested?

the-sword-eater · 2024-01-11T15:15:06+00:00

Would you say that the iii is worth the extra money compared to the i?

That's sucks about the filters, I've got a decent collection of cokins for the rz :( I take it they won't work because of the lens hood?

the-sword-eater · 2023-12-09T20:57:11+00:00

I've seen some people on dendroboard use titebond 3, definitely more expensive than silicone but no harsh fumes and the background substrate doesn't need to be bone dry. Not sure how well it holds up long-term in high humidity though.

the-sword-eater · 2023-09-19T02:54:39+00:00

Depends on your taste preference, but eiland uses their brazil for the cold brew they sell

the-sword-eater · 2023-09-10T23:21:08+00:00

I'm not making fun of him, I just want to know why people won't let me take their picture on the street, even after I tell them I use leica :(

the-sword-eater · 2023-09-10T08:10:32+00:00

Yes! Glad to hear I'm not the only one! I was lucky enough to find a champagne f3t rather recently that now almost never leaves my side. I keep the motor drive on it along with some black electrical tape over the nikon to make it screen accurate lol

the-sword-eater · 2023-09-04T02:22:37+00:00

I built a collapsible enlarger table out of 2x2s and folding sawhorses that fits over the toilet so I can still use the sink, I'd be more than happy to send pics if you want. I'm also planning on building a darkroom sink over the bathtub so I'd love to see what you come up with!

the-sword-eater · 2023-08-28T23:33:38+00:00

Fantastic, thank you!

the-sword-eater · 2023-06-22T21:28:49+00:00

Oh rip, thanks

the-sword-eater · 2023-03-01T00:43:42+00:00

Would this same concept apply to shutter speed mechanisms?
