price as power. power of condit. belief in power. so it comes to this.. hold onto it long enough… you don’t use it, neither does anyone else. What could have been $400 useable wasn’t of interest, nor of use. In these ongoing times, money vanished. The chosen become beggars.

INFLATION DEFLATED.

Condit 4×5 pin registration equipment

–[So I’m holding onto it for them. But even if they don’t, $1000 is more than a fair price for the gear 
if it’s something you need…  and if it’s not something you need, $400 is a waste of your good money! [smile] –— 2019

slowly we flip calendars… stations change… so, too, voices of options.

 The big name dropper posts:  I want to sell my set of Condit 4x5 pin registration equipment:
 
    -- 4"x5"  Precision Negative Carrier
    -- Two of the rectangular/diagonal cut upper-class inserts for the carrier
    -- Two of the rectangular lower-glass inserts for the carrier. The end of one is broken off, but it doesn't intrude into the image area with 4 x 5 separations.
    -- Two film punches, one set up for four-inch wide film and the other for 5 inch wide film
    -- Two Condit wooden contact printing frames, 7" x 9" inner diameter
    -- Three pin-register glass plates, 7" x 9", for the contact frames
    -- Some odd mounting brackets and bits of hardware and screws that apparently are used to affix the Precision Negative Carrier to some enlargers. I never needed them with mine, so I don't know how they work.
    
I’d like to get $500 for it. Any takers? --- 2025

Guess he didn’t keep my open ended offer (SMILE) ..(WINK) (BLINK)..

UND ZO EET GOEZ

Guess he would never consider donating the items to anyone, perhaps the keepers of the dye transfer group he uses to broadcast

If You Knew Dye Transfer

How many times must a process die before you learn why? The insistence is common, consistent, durable — it lasts longer than the process itself. People of the Net hold the belief that dye transfer would be resurected, successfully, if peopls could see how fantastic it was, particularly in this age of terrible stuff.

You have to see it to believe it… You have to believe it to see it. Is that true in the case of dye transfers?

The role played by product names in art appreciation is high at the sales table, and among the foremost forums. 

“Not to find one's way around a city does not mean much. But to lose one's way in a city, as one loses one's way in a forest, requires some schooling. Street names must speak to the urban wanderer like the snapping of dry twigs, and little streets in the heart of the city must reflect the times of day, for him, as clearly as a mountain valley. This art I acquired rather late in life; it fulfilled a dream, of which the first traces were labyrinths on the blotting papers in my school notebooks.”
— Walter Benjamin

… understand the magic …

Dyes were seen and made by hundreds in the era of Photograph as Object suited to gallery and museum. The growth years of photography in art schools — 1975 – 1995.

Even still, it failed, being superseded by other processes. Direct to print processes such as Type Rs (Cibas, too) for Slide to print. And, Type Cs (chromogenics, RA-4s)for Negative to print. This later printing mode strikes hardest, since Kodak Pan Matrix film was introduced with Kodak masked color negative film

the advantage of real world experience is that is is real.

If you knew it was a dye transfer would it interest you more? One group of people have made dye imbibition prints over the past decade. Have shown them in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Brooklyn, London … never calling them Dye Transfers, instead, they were dye prints, or ink transfers, and similar names. Some prints were sold, but so too were Epson Inkjets, Fujifilm RA-4s. Without making these as dyes, they sold as images. This was the basic interest of the collective group that had gone to the trouble of learning to make dyes. By make, understand that this meant having matrix film produced again.

Why did they keep this a secret private among themselves?

what would you rather talk about: process or *c, where *c is being defined, refined. Who asks, who would you be limited to talking too, with, if the topic were “process”.

Most people diffuse their interest by a bit of gossip. That mannerism is what diminishes a process to the point of pointless conversation.

Would people dive into dye transfer if given the chance? Nope, one [J* 826 ] of the Neu Ds posted on LFPF, offering a complete working dye transfer lab, including supplies… even going so far as saying she would meet them at an upcoming conference. No one, not even the loudest of counter pounder experts on dye transfer, and all topics color.
