Aluminium instead of cast, one would assume 'cast' to be iron, aka stainless steel, so in that train of thought, the weight capacity should decline if going to aluminium, as it is a softer metal.
i have pse 8 i can't find add layer mask (hold alt and click layer mask) 6:15 on the video time line. all videos i find are done on stupid apple system and the commands or keys/mouse clicks that are said to use in videos for PC do not work. and at the begining of your video you stated your in export mode. that too i can't find or is not part of pse 8. pse 8 was in a discount bin and so i bought it, i can't find myself to spend over 30 for software that i almost never use so being it was in a discount bin i got it. so thats why im using pse 8; unless someone buys me a newer version, if anyone says upgrade thats my reason, because there will be someone that will have something to say bout upgrading.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Very informative, well-thought out presentation. Wish I had come across your channel before.
Thanks so much!
I recalled this video from 2 years back when I was looking for a tripod head with the Deardorff 5x7. I bought the Luland (Ries - Knockoff) and works well. Thanks
Glad you found something that will work. Thanks for watching!
Good morning Spencer, please,I want to start developing 8x10 sheet, in Italy it is very difficult to find tanks, I saw a Durst Codrum 304 tank on Ebay, do you know this tank and know if I can develop 8x10 (FP4 ilford) with it. Thanks for the attention Decio 
Thanks for reaching out. I’m not familiar with that particular tank. However, any tank that is light tight and allows you to change the chemicals as you go would work. A popular tank is also Jobo. You may be able to find one of those. Thanks!
@@SpencerPullenPhotography Thank you very much Spencer,interesting video always!!!!!
In what direction are you from the canopy?
The canopy walk is to the front left of the camera. The location being photographed is a bit off to the side where you come out after the canopy walk trail back in the trees a bit.
Thanks. I’m going for the first time in about a month.
Excellent tutorial!
Thanks so much!
Hello Spencer ,if he can rotate the tank on a correct table, is it okay too?Thank you very much!
I don’t see why that would be a problem. Thanks!
@@SpencerPullenPhotography many tks!
You bet, they're the best, most stable, most beautiful tripod on the market. I've a J100 for 30+ years and another of their tripods is 30 years older than that. Not only that but the firm I worked for sold them cutting tools to build the tripods with. Great people all around.
Hi Professor, Does Percpetol have a strong odor or fume to it when mixing?
It’s been a little while since I’ve used it. I don’t remember it having a strong smell. I believe D76 had a stronger odor. Thanks!
It's doubled in price in 5 years.
Thanks for the video! After watching it, I found it for $250 on Amazon. I ordered it immediately. Very thorough video.
Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful!
A tripod to consider, Hi-Boy Tripod. The one I purchased a few years ago for $125 had a Medium Format camera on it, I see one now for $74 when I googled Hi Boy tripod. Another new expensive tripod. Gitzo GT5543XLS Gitzo Maximum Working Height 78" Minimum 3.9" Weight 6.88 lb. you could use the Ries head you have.
Why do you make a video before you have read info and tested the product?
As far as I understand you only used 1/4 of the recommended amount of stock developer per 8x10 sheet. (62ml instead of 250ml recommended) That might influence the quality of the negative.
Thank you for sharing: If that place was in Australia the Bush fires would clean it out in no time flat. That camera of yours is absolutely beautiful: I’m just getting into large format 4 x 5 : Thank you again appreciated. Subscribed:
Thanks for taking the time to watch! It's a great place and I need to make another trip! Congrats on getting started on large format. 4x5 is much easier to work with than 8x10. Also, much cheaper! Hope to see some of your photos in the future. Thanks!
Thank you, thank you. Your presentation style is clear, calm, and undramatic... which cuts through my high strung fear of feeling stupid for not knowing what all the kids already know, so I can just watch, listen, and learn.
Thanks Spencer that's great, you've saved me a lot of headaches! 👍
No worries! Glad it helped!
Ilford Delta 100 is washing out the highlights, (?!!?!) so you opt for the classic FP4. Actually, Delta 100 is the sharpest B & W film in the world!! Why are filters not mentioned.
excellent. best tutorial ive seen on this subject. thank you
Thanks for sharing
Spencer Thank you I have some wild ideas I want to try., Now it will come to life.
I am grateful for this review. It was very informative as I grow my photography reach.
Thanks for watching!
Very instructive thanks a lot! Happy New Year from Paris 😊!
Thanks! And happy New Year to you as well!
Fantastic work! The large print looks amazing.
Thanks! Appreciate you watching as well.
Spencer, what are your thoughts 3 years later? Still enjoy it
It has proven to be a great addition to the kit. I would still recommend it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot, very useful! It could have been interesting to also address the case where you need to remove sheets of film from the film holders in the field, meaning that you won't be transferring them straight to a developing drum, but instead store them back in a temporary container until you are back in a place where you will develop them yourself, or ship them to a developing service. As a beginner to 8x10 I have struggled a bit to find advice on how people do this. I know understand that storing exposed film in a spare film box is the most usual practice, which doesn't really help when you are about to open your first box ever. In this case it seems that most people just store expose film at the bottom of the box containing new film, possibly within a dark bag if one is available. I have found that B&H sells empty dark bags from a company called Delta 1 that seem to be a good solution for such cases. Just my 2 cents. :-)
Appreciate you watching! I took a trip to old car city (there is a video on my channel) and I had three holders with me. I would shoot during the day and develop at night. I have a film changing tent that collapsed down and was easy to transport when I was traveling. I agree, if you don't have an empty film box to put film in, it a challenge on how to store. Sounds like you found a great solution!
Cool Spencer, this is really helpful. Thanks!
Thanks!
Fantastic shots ,great video!
Thanks! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
To prevent oxidation of partial liquids in 1 liter containers simply add clean glass marbles till the liquids reach the top! Best results are obtained with distilled water! I also have a large stainless perforated spoon with a red painted handle, the green one is used for the fixer to mix with. I also boil my water to remove the disolved oxygen. I know this sounds anal but I find precise results come from precise work!
yesssssirrrrrrr
Come back to make more videos
I hope to soon. Thanks!
The link to the 7 hr course didn't work. Is it still available?
We are working on upgrading the training. Thanks!
wow that's a great tripod , never used one.
There are some great options. Thanks for watching!
Superb shots and great information,thanks Spencer!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video,many thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
@@SpencerPullenPhotography excellent technical information,clear!Have a great week!
wow, could put a 18" gun on this thing, but nice and precise. a couple of other alternatives are the manfrotto 028 and 058 studio tripods, they have a larger column, geared& locked by knobs, and has a similar leg style, ie two part guying to a central post, which has the foot on it; and for heads, an Arca-Swiss C1 cube, if not a D 4, which can handle a MF 2 &1/2 KG camera and lens set up with ease!!- not sure about the 8 x 10 though?
It’s a beast for sure! I’ll have to check out that system you mentioned. I’ve also put together a light weight tripod from Induro. I made a separate video for it. Thanks for watching!
@@SpencerPullenPhotography I shoot 4x5" a Sinar monorail, and another option came my way in lieu of second hand at a camera store, a Marsace MT-3541S with a Benro BV8H video head a video head with a systematic style tripod with a 75mm bowl adaptor for the BV8H head, this takes the weight, and with such beefy legs, should handle the "off center weight" that this sinar can produce, esp. in macro, with extensions and a 210 or so lens. After having a look, and feeling the counter balance, this should allow pan and tilt without losing control of an assembled monorail, and the extendable pan bar is extra insurance against this. [the pan bar is the only external handle that can obstruct anything, and it can fold down tight to the legs for easy transport]- a key consideration when going out with the rig.
Awesome looking tripod - though I'm not sure I could live without an adjustable center column personally - but wow!...
It’s a beast for sure. Should last a couple of lifetimes! Thanks for watching!
Iirc, coffee filters are lint free. I've seen people use it on car engine assembly. Not too sure about its absorbancy.
Hi
Thanks you so much for the good presentation. Enjoy!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Spencer, thanks so much for the content on your channel! Question, have you found the need to reduce development time at all due to the constant agitation? Also, have you ever developed color film using this system? Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! Depending on which developer you use and how fast it works, you may need to deduct some time. I found D76 worked best with this and I used posted times without an issue. I’ve not shot color so I can’t say one way or another if this would work. I know color chemistry needs to be held at a certain temp. Thanks!
This was great. Thank you!
I really appreciate your photos. You're drawn to the same sort of subject matter and compositions I like too. I don't have the strength to haul an 8x10 around anymore, but I might just break out the medium format. I agree, car city is fabulous, great hunting grounds. Rust, decay, nature taking back over, that's the good stuff.
Michael Jenner Thanks for watching! It’s been awhile since I have been up there. Getting time to visit again!
Very thorough. You did a good job explaining all this. I was aware of a lot of it, but I learned some valuable new things too. Thank you so much for doing this, good teaching!
I loved this video!
I just found your stuff and I’m addicted!
Thank you for a simple tutorial that a beginner can understand. Very much appreciated.
Michelle Joplin Glad it helped! Thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm new to large format and have seen videos on placing films in holders but had no clue on how are things laid in the box. This video answered my questions. Now I don't have to sacrifice a whole box of films!
Glad this helped. Thanks for watching!
