Re: Agfa Isolar 9x12cm plate camera

I picked up this project again after remaining undecided about how to develop the film. I gave up on the idea of using the taco-method and I think I will go for the Stearman Press SP-445. I just need to find someone with a 3D-printer to make the necessary adapters to fit 9x12 negs in the 4x5 holders...

Santiago, yes I remember Nicolqs very well, we had quite a lot of interaction online back then. Glad to see that he is still photographing.

Glad you are feeling better, PF. I never heard of these birds, but I like your results here.

Re: Gevaert - museum

Ages ago we used quite some orange (red?) boxed Record-Rapid paper, when one required another touch than the usual but 'too neutral' tint of Ilford RC paper. And some Agfa Contour film too!

Re: CAVIX LEOPARD Tripod and head

Graham, that is beautiful equipment! Well designed and at an unbelievable price too. It makes me want to buy another tripod that I don't need.

Re: Agfa Isolar 9x12cm plate camera

Thanks Paul. I completely forgot about the Paterson Orbital. That does indeed sound like a good solution. I have never seen one in real life but I remember having seen them in catalogs back when they were available. I immediately checked the auction site and found a couple of them for sale in the UK...

I already own a couple of Kodak 3A folders for which I need to invent some sort of (thin) frame to support the smaller 120 film in those large film gates in order to keep the film flat for the sharp...

Re: Rescue animal

Last summer I found a huge and entirely bright green grasshopper of about the same size of your critter. It had a 7-8 centimeters long body. He was well hidden between the leaves of our garden flowers and I accidentally stumbled upon it while hunting for the slugs that ate my plants. I had never see...
