EDIT,

looking for a newer mc apo-ronar preferably with stripe, see wanted thread

I just sent a mail to purchase their other one,
thanks very much!

great, that makes sense.
With the ability to pick up the aposymmar for 600,
as well as already being on the list for one of the new schneiders
it would seem the best course of action would be to...

You raise a good point.
I'm about to purchase a new 300mm as well, was going to go with one of the new schneider "L"s . I've however heard that they are the same exact glass as sironar s. So one...

I've been carrying around a sironar N300 for ahwile now and the weight is not a concern. I've considered the fuji as well and will continue to look into that.

I'll be using them on my 8x10 field,
thanks for the input,
The great thing Is I've found a 240 apo symmar in good shape for like 600 and just wanted to make sure it'll be what I need instead of...

and before someone takes offense I'm not shit talking the sironar N, just for the mixed light field portraiture I do its not the lens for me.

I'm versed in rodenstock and understand the huge difference between sironar n and s, as I've shot with an N and know the sweet spot falloff.

I'm in the market for a 240 and have been racking my...

Anyone got any good recs on backpacks big enough for an 8x10 field witth room for lenses holders and possibly a strap for tripod.
holla

thanks for the heads up on the silica.

As far as heat, The empty cooler seems pretty logical, and I've heard film has a tolerance I'm just trying to take all precautions.

After much research It would seem as though putting silica pack in ziplocs containing the holders is optimal. However keeping the holders at even temp while in my car as I'm traveling in the desert...

awesome, thank you. I'll look into them and If I've got questions I'll be sure to hit you up. Thanks very much for your input.

I totally gotcha I'm just saying I've got little to no experience with the dorff and acordingly I don't have the time to evaluate the conditions and problems that can occur. I don't debate they are...

So I've delved the archives and read much but I'm in the market now and need some current oppinions/suggestions.

I'm getting an 8x10 field, I looked in wehman already but unless I can find one...

In regards to the 210 I've considered how wide and am also considering a 240. My main reason for dropping down being that with my 300 I'm really pushing the limit on photographing people in...

Summer is nearly upon us and I'm trekking out for a couple of months to shoot for a series. It's time to part ways with my cambo sc and pick up an 8x10 field. Anyone have suggestions on cheaper...

I'm setting up a large strobe in the corner of a room that will be very dark ( a party will be going on) I plan on setting up my 8x10 in a secluded spot, focusing about center room.

Heres what I...

Yeah I was attempting to get some from JandC the other day and no luck, I may just scratch that and give your forte combo a try, thanks for the input Scott

FU64 is a group of young fine art photographers working in large format traditional process, I'm sure I'll post about it when one of us or the group shows.


As far as the ilford warmtone...

I'm hurtin.

I've been using the neutral Oriental for a bit now and it's very nice but I find myself dying for that familiar hint of warmth and richness. I know ilford released the "warmtone"...

when I really thought about it before I invested one way or the other I realized I would be sacrificing too much for a field. When I say I use my movements I mean I use my movements. Far as price...

I would just like to comment on the arguments regarding the youthfull backlash and trend towards dp. I myself am a mere 21 years of age and am one of many younger people I know that despite the...

I scough in the face of such limiting monikers.
2 weeks ago I finally completed the project that was "how do I make my 20 pound cambo sc transportable and ready to shoot instantly"

90 dollars...

So I'm going to give xtol a shot. After some research I've learned how cautious one must be in storing it to be air tight and such. What I was curious as to was how you dillute it and why, also how...

Thanks for all the info, I'll let you know if I'm interested.

I've heard good things about the Gitzo1570M and that bogen head previously mentioned, and the prices on ebay can't be beat. Anyone...

When you say servicable does that mean theres problems with any of the mechanics/gears/shifts? Also what make, plate and year?

So I'm looking into a new head for use of my 8x10 cambo sc, I like the price range of the majestics as I'm not looking to drop a grand on an arca swiss so out of curiosity whats everyone usin-...

mos def, for the condition the camera is in I can spend 300 for a back and still get a good deal, i think I found one for 200, we will see.

Well I want an item he has and the price is aggreable I just wanted to see if he's reliable. Honest and prone to angry is fine with me as long as he's honest.

it will still be a hell of a bargain, I was anticipating 200 for the back when I got it and it's still a steal Mr. tryandrainonmyparadeBOB haha.

I got a really solid deal on one without a back and knowing I was going to order some satin snow ground glass opted to get the camera for the lowww price.

Many pardons if this subject has already been covered I couldn't locate the info. So I'm assuming that with various studio vc's you need the companies corresponding back. Accordingly I'm searching...

Has anyone used this site for purchasing equipment, how was your experience?

word. I'm in the process of buiding a big wooden case thats going to look something like the arc of the covenant haha. pics when I finish it.

I've got a cambo monorail that I'd love to find a way to transport completely set up (minus pod). I'm considering constructing a box with cut foam to hold it in ready possition and create a strap...

So I searched around the previous articles and found them to be mostly too specific for what I'm wondering. I'll be doing a ton of night shooting with the cambo, using most likely a 5.6 lens and a...

Thanks for all the recs.


I've recently decided that being a poor youngin will require me to sacrifice field cameras and light lenses for price range bargains. Accordingly I've started running...

Out of curiosity what bw film is everyone shooting on and give a brief description of your reasons why and one page of what you did on your summer vacation.

Just curious to see, I'm contemplating...

Great forumn, glad to be a member.

Anyway, I'm finally piecing together my 8x10 and am at the back breaker of finding the lens I want in range. I'm fond of rodenstock and am far from rich so...
