I want to buy a fresnel for a Zone VI 4x5 camera. Does it matter what kind I get or should any fresnel made for a 4x5 camera work? Does glass or plastic matter?
Thank you all for your input. It looks like I just need to buy some sheets and experiment. I am looking forward to it.
I guess I should have been a bit more specific. I am looking for 4x5 format and I am not too picky about speed (50-200 should be fine). Also, I don't develop my own film so I need something that I...
I am looking for some B&W film for portraits and landscapes but not just one film that will do both (unless there is such a film). I understand how color film has variations in saturation, warmth,...
So far I have shot only Velvia 50 and exposed at ISO 50 except for exposures longer than a few seconds (for those I used exposure times from a table). The exposures I got always looked pretty good...
How many of you guys have used both ISO 50 and ISO 100 (not 100-F) Fuji Velvia films? I was wondering how they compared to each as far as grain and color are concerned.
Thanks
Thank for the info. I figured that it was something that I had to live with but I thought that it was worth asking.
I have only been using a large format camera for a few months now and I have taken all of my slide film to the same local lab for development. When I get the slides back there are marks on each slide...
I recently noticed that the bag part of my bag bellows is starting to detach from the rest of the bellows. What is a good glue or adhesive that will seal well and be durable enough for use?
I did a quick search for Ken Hansen and it looks like he has closed up shop.
Why would he have purchased a bunch of these cameras? Does he have a camera shop?
He can keep the reflex viewer. I have one of those I want to sell. I wonder what the reserve is?
Yeah, that is a pretty neat camera. I specifically like the way the focus control has been designed. I don't know if I will be spending $4000 anytime soon though.
Thanks, I found it.
I have a Zone VI ultralight camera and I was wondering if any of you other Zone VI owners have serial numbers on yours? I have looked but I cannot seem to find one.
Thanks
Yeah, that was one thing that shocked me. Why would I want to spend several thousand dollars on a carbon fiber and titanium camera that weighs twice as much as a wooden camera?
How much was the starting bid?
I just purchased a Gnass three file pouch and I love it. It sure beats the old way I did things (having all my stuff laying all over the ground).
Where can one of these be purchased?
I don't have the type of shutter that also setting in between the numbers I guess. I will just stick with changing the f stop. Thanks for all the good info.
I will just change the aperture a third of a stop or so. Thanks for the help.
Sometimes the exposure I calculate for an image has a shutter speed in between the numbered selections on my shutters. For example 1/10 of a second might be my calculated shutter speed but my shutter...
There is no preview lever that I can find. There is a shutter cock, the flash sync lever, f stop selector, shutter speed dial, and shutter release.
Thanks for the info. I just might send it off. The only thing is that the shutter was described on the ebay listing as working fine. So I am not sure that I want to do that yet.
When I have the shutter set to B with a cable release on it will not stay open. It doesn't even look like the shutter opens at all. Also, I cannot get the letter in the M position.
Also, the shutter seems to sound the same regardless of what speed I have it on.
I just bought a Schneider Super Angulon 65mm f/8 with a Synchro Compur shutter. It has speeds from 1/500 to 1 sec including B (no T). It also has a little green lever with a V, X, and M setting. I...
Silly me...
I could have answered that question myself by reading the specs.
Thanks
Are the Gnass lens cases large enough to hold lenses with the lensboards on?
I have noticed that the dividers kill all the space also. I have been half way tempted to design my own: buy a backpack, some padding, and some velcro and then have it sown to my specifications.
I...
Keith,
Wow! I asked if somebody was as crazy as me and found somebody that beat me hands down. Could you please email me a picture of the inside of your big Lowepro (if you have one)?
Thanks...
Frank,
Could you please send me a picture of how you have your bag arranged? I also have a CompuTrekker but I was not able to figure out a way to configure it well (it has those two dividers that...
Thanks again to everybody for the info.
The 5547 is a good idea, but it might be a bit small.
Lee,
Does the F.64 bag hold both a 4x5 and 35mm setup?
Thanks for your input.
I have owned (and still own) several Lowepro and Tamrac bags. The problem with those two companies is most of the bags have an internal divider setup that makes it a hard...
I have spent quite a few hours searching the net and reading camera bag company pages looking for a bag that will hold both a 4x5 field camera and a digital SLR setup. It would seem that I am...
I recently bought a used Zone Vi ultralight camera. I need a copal #1 lensboard for a lens that I just bought. Calumet is out of the wooden copal #1 Zone VI lensboards. Are there any other lensboards...
Thanks for all the help. I bought an older metal 545 film holder so now I will go and order some type 54 film. How important is it that I know what the ambient temperature is? Should I go buy a...
I am new to large format photography and I will be using Fuji Velvia and Provia a lot for landscape work. I like the idea of checking my exposure using Polaroid film but I do not know what kind to...
Does Zone VI have a company website? I know that Calumet is their distributor.
Thanks
