My WillTravel‘s tripod adapter decided to stop holding in the petg body and the camera fell to the hard ground. it landed on the handle, which cracked off the body without damaging the main part of the camera or the lens. I’ve decided to reprint it and incorporate the items I added on, such as a longer back for my slightly longer lens, and add on some strap loops.

My other thought though is to build a full movements camera, or of course I could do both since filament is cheap. I could try to make a hybrid of the two but not sure how I’d do it.

I could probably have a WillTravel redone in a few days as I have all the parts. It takes a long time to print the body, and I’d have to fumble around with the changes I want in the design software.

It is rated at 100-400 but which works best? Its a sunny day for the Mermaid parade.

I've traveled with 35mm and 120 film and never had an issue with TSA, but how do you travel with large format film? You can't open the holders and you can't open the boxes and neither are immediately recognizable by the average person. We are a niche within a niche and are few and far between. Would TSA know what they were looking at?

I've been looking for roll paper to print some of my panoramas. I have a roll of Exhibition Canvas Satin and I've done a few but I think I want a smoother finish. I don't see where Epson has any of the more standard papers in rolls, at least not the ones directly supported for the ET-8550. I like the look of the Velvet Fine Art paper in 13x19 but want something longer. It doesn't look like Hahnemuhle produces any roll paper smaller than 17". I know Keith Cooper has done some roll paper, so I'll look at what he uses. In the meantime, any other sources?

Or maybe I just need a bigger printer? ;>)

I'm still running through my head what could've gone wrong, especially since they were independent shots but in the same film holder. I had the camera in my hand on a photo walk this past weekend in Queens/Brooklyn, had the lens cap off for that reason I'm pretty sure. I've fired the shutter at all speeds to see it working and it does. I don't have any light leak that I can see now or in the past. I took them from the film holder into my Paterson tank and sealed it in the dark bag last night, and then developed them today. The temp of the chemicals was around 70, slightly higher than the normal 68 but well within range and slightly adjusted the time. The only thing I can think of is bad developer but it was DD-X that I made and used for a single shot a few weeks ago. I suppose that could be it. The only other thought I had was that I took the film from the wrong film holder. They came out black, as if exposed to light, not clear as unexposed.

I've been doing my own development, C41, E6 and B&W, for a couple of years now and never had a single problem.

I'll do a couple of test shots tomorrow and develop immediately with fresh mixed DD-X.

Any other ideas?

We just did a drive from NYC to Dallas to leave a car with our sister-in-law and I brought my Fuji Natura Classica with Delta 3200 in it, and a roll of CS800T on the side. I was so tired by the time I got to DFW to fly home that I didn't even think about the film until it was passed through the XRay. At least it wasn't the cylindrical CT scanner. I'm just hoping for the best. I didn't take the camera out of the bag for the entire trip so I'd basically forgotten about it. I'll see how the 3200 comes out and decide what to do about the CS800T, use it normally, use it as a throwaway, or just toss. More than the cost of the film is the time it takes to use it and I wouldn't want to waste the time.

What can I do to use the machines at cardiac rehab with Zwift? I'm a long time Zwifter with a Kickr Core and Zwift Shift, and I'm completely integrated at home. What will give me at least a little feedback from the treadmill and stationary bike that would work with Zwift? The main restriction is I can't connect to any of the machines. I don't know if they send out ANT+ or BLE signals, but I somehow doubt it. I'm just looking to make rehab more interesting. I'm 6 weeks in and getting bored with it.

I've seen a few 3D printed backs for 4x5 that you will load the roll into, I've even downloaded all the files for one from Edgar Kech. Are there any existing projects that will work more like a standard 4x5 back, two sided, pre-loaded with a single shot on each side? The downside is it would require cutting and loading in a dark bag or room, the upside is you can shoot and process them individually. I could probably design one myself but why reinvent the wheel?
