    Re: Photographed so many times...

    Really? I've just come back from a trip where I flew to Italy and then flew back from Zurich, both times with my tripod in the cabin.
  2. Re: How to measure the register of a film back

    I'm in the UK, so I might be able to find them. Trouble is, MPP seemed to use their own standard and then adopted the International Standard later, so not all 4x5 MPP holders are guaranteed to be be...
  3. Re: How to measure the register of a film back

    Thank you everyone for your replies!

    I've asked on the MPP forum, but for some reason my posts aren't turning up on their forum - perhaps I need to be approved by a moderator first.

    Thanks for...
  4. Re: How to measure the register of a film back

    Thanks for your reply. It's because I don't have the means to shoot with it just yet and if it doesn't have an international back on it, I'd like to return it for a camera that does.
  5. How to measure the register of a film back

    I've just bought a MPP MicroPress camera (see my Intrepid vs MPP MicroPress thread for more on that exciting story...) and I've just read that the early version didn't have the international standard...

    Re: First LF camera - Intrepid or MPP?

    Thanks for your reply - I think I'm pretty much sold on the MPP now. I doubt I'd use the rangefinder much as well - I loved the ground glass on the 4x5 I've used previously.

    Re: First LF camera - Intrepid or MPP?

    Thanks for your reply, and yes 300mm probably is a bit too long. When shooting digitally I usually shoot at around 70mm, or use 150mm when using my Hasselblad for film portraits, so yes, a 210mm is...

    Re: First LF camera - Intrepid or MPP?

    Hi all,

    Thanks for the replies - all very useful.

    Ideally I'd be using a 250mm - 300mm lens for my portraits, but I was thinking that as the 150mm comes with the MPP then that might be good to...

    First LF camera - Intrepid or MPP?

    I shoot a lot of portraits - digital and MF film - and would like to get into LF photography. I shoot in the studio but also go out on location a fair bit, so I'm after a 4x5 field camera. As I shoot...
