Hi Ian,
No bellows extension as I was focused about twenty feet away with a 210 & 90mm. When would that come into effect with those two lenses?
Yes I'm getting a shorter exposure, do they get...
I purchased two Rodenstock Lenses with Copal 1 shutters from a seller in the USA on this forum, I have tried contacting him about the shutters, unfortunatlly he is not getting back to me.
The...
This one I found is fantastic, works with filters too,
Reciprocity timer
What is your favourite apps that you use when shooting large format?
But I've got short arms so can only go up to 150mm :-)
Yes I ordered it, the reason I like it is because it covers the two lenses I have, 90 & 210mm and is small.
Others on the forum said it was good for the price, not looking to use on the camera.
Did a search on the forum and found a link to viewfinder pro as a iPhone app and this:

Thanks for the link to that great App, I was surprised to see reciprocity kick in as fast as 2 sec on FP4 of 1 stop!
I'm looking for an optical viewfinder to help me to previsualise different lenses of the subject before I set up my 5x4. I really like the Linhof Master Technika 45 viewfinder but at $1770 is way too...
Thanks Bob & Ken, some great information you suggest.
I look forward to see how you get on Dkirk, can you post some images and 'how to' when do are done?
Thanks chaps, I will look out for Chris's book Tony.
I was hoping there would be an online site aimed at those who already use the zone system as an expressive tool & just want to take it (with...
Well thanks for the lively discussion to my post folks, it looks like I have created a monster!
I think this could go on forever.
Lets stop now and start making great work on Silver or Ink.
I have to point out from the start I am using B&W film stock scanned to output on an inkjet.
With my analoge hat on, to obtain predicable results with my materials and equipement setup, I would...
Thanks David,
Well I have use of a great 5x4 scanner, the Hasselblad X5, I have an Epson R3000 so its just the cost of the inks & rip.
I would imagine the carbon inks replace all the colour set?...
I suspected I would get a lot in oppersite directions Greg. I guess I was looking at it more from a scientific comparison if they is one, ie from the amount of tonal range / contrast each can...
I fear this maybe a rather open question.
I photograph on 5x4 B&W stock using the zone system to push or pull development or N as required to produce the best neg I can.
I have access to a...
Looks interesting but the shipping is $941 to the UK
Im looking for a 4x5 film dryer, nice desk top size, not the long roll film cabinets we all know.
Do they exist or is it a DIY job?
Thanks Mortensen, just purchased the 90 & 210 from him!
Thanks Bill, no my architectural work is done on another set up.
Thanks Noah, great advice to get me looking, thanks for your time.
Guess this is not going anywhere? When I say good, which of course is subjective. What I'm looking for is: for price quality and weight I have found xxxx very good.
Thanks for the PM's from people...
sorry should have been more specific. Looking for a good 90mm 150 or 210mm & 500mm
Sorry to ask this old question, but your collective pool of wisdom will save me a lot of time and money.
After selling all my 10x8 kit a few years ago, I'm now in the process of coming back to...
Hi Joanna,
Is the UK duty only 6.7%? I guess the VAT would be at the full 20%. Cannot beleve with all this I would still make a saving! Have to look to see if I would also make a saving on lenses....
Thanks for the really usefull discussions folks, very informative.
With the price at the moment of these cameras I think I will go for a non U and put the money towards another lens.
Just saw in...
Looking at buying a new Ebony folding 5x4 (lucky me) and was in two minds if it's worth paying the extra for the U version with asymmetrical tilts & swings? As I have never used them.
Thanks for the kind comments Kumar about my work (all shot on a Canon 5Dmk11 with various TS lenses. Liked your site too)
Yes this is a funny time to get into LF again, great prices for second...
This is really sage advice Frank, I did not know the Techno was only digital.
I think I will go for a nice film camera. As my personal work is conceptual based I don't need to shoot loads per shoot,...
Thanks for that Bob, I don't like to keep replacing kit, so maybe it would it be better to go for the Techno with a 45 setup or is it only digital.
I'm looking at getting a LF camera again for my Fine Art work and may use it on one of my architectural commissions which I now do with a Canon 5D11 with various tilt & shift lenses. I used to have a...
