Both are plenty nice. My 4x5 is a mahogany Ebony, a friend has a comparable model in ebony. His is definitely a bit heavier, though with 4x5, I think the weight of the camera is secondary to the...

There's a lab in NYC that's offering digital laser or something printing onto a traditional BW paper, fibre, I believe. I saw some prints. They were okay, but really, I think most of us could make...

Ron, if you're in or near a big city, there may well be a place you can rent a station with an Imacon or the like. I've done prints of around that size (a bit smaller, but close) from Imacon scans on...

"two people wishing to use a camera..." could this be construed as the photographer and subject, were it to be a portrait? And the time limit thing, who's judging that? I imagine a few others here...

no order... and just today's list, really.

Gene Richards. Can I just name him three times?

If they had a photo exhibition opening? I'd *definitely* go to that.

I get hassled probably a little under half of the times I go shooting in the daytime. Two weeks ago, week and a half... I was shooting on a public street facing the water in Brooklyn, two older...

My favorite "cheap" lens was my Schneider 150/5.6 APO-Symmar (pre L version) that I paid $200 for because it had a bent filter ring. Couldn't attach anything to it but the glass is superb and it had...

I've made 4 foot prints from 160NC and even 400NC shot under 2-3 hour exposures just fine. These weren't even "real" drum scans; they were made on an Imacon. A beefy tripod and well exposed negative...

I can tell you my 72/5.6XL is no easier to focus than my SA 90/8. In really low light, it's actually much harder as the corners are damned near invisible. If ease of focusing is the main thing and...

my mistake, the photographer I've been borrowing a Tech from refers to it as a "press camera," I suppose as it has a rangefinder and is handholdable. Though I'd hesitate to say there's anything...

I've only worked with older Techs, and while they're beautiful machines and so well made, the interface of them just doesn't agree with me the way Ebony, Deardorff, Canham, and almost every other...

I figured with it being written in at the bottom of the page (in the same size text as everything else) and being in two of the tabs at the top of the page (visiting ICP and about the school) that...

Good to see the ol' 120L at work, Sheldon!

here's one from a current project. 110XL/Ebony RW45/Portra 160NC that was supposed to be pushed a stop and the lab forgot. Exposure is several hours at...

what's your budget? The Ebony 45S can keep a lens on. It's not a folding camera, but the design of the thing is pretty smart. A friend uses it (he's a heavy architecture guy) and I myself have the...

For color work you may want to start off with a 4x5, unless you've got piles of cash so big sitting in your back yard you sometimes set them on fire for kicks. Color 8x10 is freakin' expensive. My...

Rather last minute, indeed. Tomorrow (friday) night the school of the International Center of Photography will be hosting the opening reception for its full time graduating student exhibition....

I've got the older 90/8 SA and I don't think it's really any harder to focus than my 72 XL - actually a good deal easier for night work, where the falloff on the GG really hurts with the 72. I don't...

I'd be happy to see a modern rebuild of the old Crown/Speed Graphic style optimized for light weight, handholdability, and ease of use in the field. Rangefinder focusing would be great. If I'm going...

Hope that's not true. Salesguy at B&H said the other day Kodak was going to be killing off more films soon...

thanks - seemed too weird to be true. I'll keep one of my Hoya filters on it just to keep it safe.


har har.

I've sold a wealth of equipment and now have a 110XL on its way to me. I'm a bit concerned having seen a few posts to the effect of saying that if the lens elements are moved at all from where...

Robert Z, I love that middle image. Is that a scan from a negative or print? Ben H, that pic is beautiful; is there a fair amount of correction/retouching done or were the tones and light really that...

Most every modern LF "street" photographer I know/know if has at least a degree orchestration in their shots. DiCorcia has lights and often poses/places people for his work. Many will give some...

Hmm... tried to put up an image, wouldn't accept the link. Let's try again...

one from the weekend - since getting my Leica back I haven't shot enough 4x5. 120 apo-symmar-l on 160nc. 35-40 seconds...

I have an older Lowepro PhotoTrekker AW that I like quite a bit. I don't shoot much 8x10 (4x5 almost exclusively at this point) but can pack my camera, 4 or 5 lenses, tons of film holders, plus a...

Currently have 72, 90, 120, 150, 210. Looking to sell the 90 and 120, replace with the 110xl, and maybe swap out the 210 for a 300 as I just never seem to use it. Four lenses I think will work fine,...

Most of his work leaves me a little wanting. There are a few spectacular images, but the regular collection of photography at MoMA IMO blows away this particular exhibit. I actually found the...

I'm originally from Herndon VA. Miss it sometimes.

thanks, Ralph! I've been lurking for days, trying to absorb as much info as possible. It's absolutely daunting how much some of these guys here know, and the picture thread has some gorgeous work in...

Howdy all.

Maybe more aptly, howdy those who read this particular, and seemingly niche subforum of an already niche website. The three of you, hello.

I took my first full-time job in...
