I plan to photograph Inca architecture and Andean scenery in May, in Cuzco, the Sacred Valley, and the Lake Titicaca area, and am concerned about filtration in mostly black and white (T-Max 100) but...

Thanks very much for all of these thoughtful responses. This forum makes useless trips to the camera store truly useless.

I plan to travel to Peru and Bolivia in May, with Cuzco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titi caca, and the surrounding Inca architecture as the highlights. While I have a li ght 4x5 system, I fear that it will...

The BTZS 4x5 cloth has elastic at one end, an apparent advantage but it crimps the bellows on my camera (a Canham) and so I use the cloth backwards, with the elastic around my neck. I would prefer...

Panopticon on Moody Street in Waltham is excellent for B&W. They also frame photos for a very reasonable price. And while you are there, you get to see the photographs of Bradford Washburn, the...

Using land destroys land, so we should pay for that destruction. While I understand Boulware's anger, it is better directed at much greater abuses, such as the 1872 mining law (hardrock gold and...

Flash photography is a dark science to me but I would like to know if anyone has a good idea of how Shelby Lee Adams uses his flash equipment for his portraits, as seen in his two books, _Appalachian...

The recent Readyload scare made me think of holders and films other than T-Max; thus the idea of using Tech Pan, apparently with Technidol, for 4x5. Several que stions: is this overkill, given the...

Two places. The first would be Werner's at 16th and California downtown, if you can stomach the traffic. But since you are coming from the Jeffco foothills of Conifer (please God, send the forest...

I recently took photos using a glass Lee Linear Polarizing filter, and it does n ot appear to have worked-- prints revealed reflections in windows, which is not supposed to happen with a polarizer....

Might Sexton use this opportunity to advocate that Kodak reintroduce T- Max in Readyloads? Might Kodak recognize this book as a marketing opportunity for same? Somewhat ironic that the King of T-Max...

John: My sympathies-- backpacks are a surprisingly complicated problem for the LF photographer. (A. Adams had his Travelall and his self- appointed successors use Llamas, groupies and such; the rest...

First let me thank this forum and its knowledgeable contributors for their assis tance, which has far exceeded that of any salesman. I use a Canham DLC with Schn eider 110XL and Nikkor M 300 F/9...

If you plan hiking more than a mile with them, the central issue with LF photo backpacks is this: how well does it carry a tripod, the heaviest and most awkward piece of your gear? The backpacking...
