Since when has Maine been admitted to "first world" status? :o
I wasn't totally joking, Ken. I still have a few boxes of 10x15cm film in my freezer. 10cm = 3.94 inches. Which image sharing forum do I post those images to? I guess I'll find out when and if a moderator decides to move them. And that's fine. I learn better the hard way anyway!
I don't think I got an answer on the cropping issue. Are we still allowed in Large Format Land as long as we start out shooting on a 4x5 piece of film even if the crop we use is much less than that?
J.
I'd say put them in the Large Format area. If anyone asks, you can tell them that you got special "metric dispensation" :cool:
Sticking with the 4x5 definition, my vote would be no: once we start cropping a 4x5 capture to something "much less", it's smaller than a "nominal" 4x5 negative, and belongs elsewhere on the forum. Of course, the key term here is "much less", which is subjective.
My suggestion is that if you have to ask, it's probably not Large Format and belongs in the "everything else" department.
Going forward, moderators don't want to spend time policing format issues. That's why we decided to create a reasonable definition of Large Format and refer to everything else as... everything else.
Well, I was agreeing with everything until the last post. My understanding from Rick's post was that if it was shot on 4x5, it was acceptable if cropped. I almost always crop. :(
I agree about cropping being commonplace and normal practice, but it's a matter of degree.
Jonathan described a sheet of 4x5 film cropped-down to something "much less". The term "much less" is open to interpretation.
If our definition of Large Format excludes a 6x7 image made with a roll-film back, but allows a 4x5 sheet-film image cropped to 6x7, is that fair or consistent ?
One solution would be to extend the definition to 4x5 inches cropped by no more than x%. Is there a reasonable value for x ?
So 3.6 inches. Nominal. :rolleyes:
