    Re: Wollensak 159mm Lens Shutter Options

    I sent it off to Carol. She was able to get it working again although she said that the T setting wouldn't function. As it is necessary for focusing, I'll have to use the Bulb setting with a cable...

    Re: Epson 4990 vs v850

    ha..actually no, I'm not kidding. If the 4990 is more than capable of capturing the resolution in the 8x10 negative for prints beyond 40x32 (I never print that large) what would be the advantage...

    Epson 4990 vs v850

    I have a 10 year old 4990 scanner that I use for b&w 6x6 and 8x10 film. Would I see any improvement by upgrading to a v850?

    Re: Wollensak 6 1/4" infinity focus

    Re: 8x10 For "Street" Portaiture

    Hey Robert..it's more about a deep dive into craft for me. There's something about the setting up of the view camera that acts as a prelude to the photograph that engages the subject. Also, as you...

    In reading these considered responses, I guess "street photography" was the wrong term? Maybe I should have said "spontaneous environmental portraiture"? There is some planning involved, but I'm...
