450 mm is at least my second most often, and perhaps most often used, lens on 4X5. I use the 300 mm quite a bit, too.

Big Sur and Point Reyes.
I enthusiatically second AgX Imaging. I have been very happy with the high quality and communication from Mike, and the processing is an exceptional value.
Does this mean that it does not affect the image quality? I'm not implying that Shcneider shouldn't care or currect the situation, just curious as to the effect on usability. I have a 110 XL that...
If you really want to get into the 6X17 format, I would highly recommend buying a dedicated camera, rather than stitching. It is much easier to get into the panoramic mindset that way, and there are...
Does this issue affect the usability of the lens? I thought that Scneideritis was just a cosmetic issue, the lens works just as well as one without it, although the resale value is quite a bit...
Be sure not too try and eat any of the olives right off the tree. I picked one of a tree at my work last week on a dare, and it taste horrible! Took all day to get the bitter taste out of my mouth....
It's a very nice hike and only 3 or 4 miles from the trailhead to get to the lake and meadow near cathedral peak. The time I hiked up, a young couple were skinny dippiong in the lake! I watched the...
I cleaned the haze off of the undersinde of the glass on my 4990 a few months ago. It wasn't hard, but took some time and was a bit tedious to get back together. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to...
Here's a few of my pics of the GG bridge. Happy birthday, big fella!

My most used on 8X10 are an Apo-Sironar-S 300 and a Fujinon-C 450. I actually use the 450 Fuji for about 75% of the 8X10 (and 4X10 with half darkslide) that I shoot...
I've used LF Velvia for over a decade and have never frozen or refrigerated it. I've used it at least 2 years past expiration, with no noticable difference in quality. I would not bother to freeze...
The only essentials I need are plenty of water and a flashlight to find my way back to the trail after dark
Hello,
I've had the misfortune of having water spill on some 4X5 chromes. They are now dry, but have some water marks and dust attached where the water was. Any advice on how to clean the...
Great shot Dan. My 4X5s from the Per get-together are still in the film holders. I need to unload and process one of these days.
Ansel Adams and Jack Dykinga
Never used a Fujinon 210, but I have the Caltar II-S 210, and it's the sharpest lens in my collection. Even sharper than the Apo-Sironar S 150 and SS-XL 110. Bought it for about $200 on E-bay, by...

LF is not for everyone. There's nothing wrong with using whatever camera best fits your vision, be it 12X20, 8X10, 4X5, MF, or digital SLR.
Give me a break- medium format is considered extreme? And how is a single "shot" costing $35, unless this guy takes three or four rolls of each "shot"?
Here's a few from DV, Oceano, and White Sands. Haven't had a chance yet to develop any of my LF shots from the recent Per Oceano get-together.

Hi Asher,
Thanks for refunding the deposit and all the hard work you did getting the house and workshop organized. A fun time was had by all who attended. I talked to Ted the other day and he...

Had a great time photographing, discussing photography, meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends from previous workshops. Thanks to all for your participation and planning. I hope to...
Hey Ted, any updates on the condo situation?
I've used my 4X5 back quite a few times on my 8X10, but I mainly use the 8X10 to shoot 4X10 with the half-darkslide method. Shooting color, I'm more of a 4X5 guy and rarely shoot a whole sheet of...
I also use the cut 8X10 dark slide method to get 2 4X10s and find it the most covenient in terms of extra stuff to carry and most economical in terms of film and equipment. You just need to be...
Does Velvia come in 4X6.5 foot size?
I highly recommend West Coast Imaging for the printing you describe. I would recommend printing at 360 dpi but in some cases I've heard of 240 dpi in large prints giving indistinguishable results...
One from DV, then gypsum sand dunes ridges at dusk from White Sands, then one from Oceano Dunes
Just tried to find some Velvia quickloads the other day, and best I could find was an expired box of 20 for $129.00 on E-Bay- no thanks. I threw in the towel on the Quickload holder and ordered some...
That would probably be fine on boardwalks and developed trails, but I don't know about on the open dunes. You could ask at the visitor center.
I stayed at a cheap motel in Pismo Beach, I think it was an Econo Lodge, for about 40 bucks a night the one time I went to the Oceano Dunes. Less expensive than a group housing and a lot easier to...
I like the one of the ice cream truck. Reminds me of my childhood.
On a related note, what is the life expectancy of an Epson scanner? My 4990 is still going strong after 7 years and thousands of scans, and I wasn't planning on replacing it anytime soon...
Sounds great Ted, please keep me posted
I have a 3800 that I've been using successfully for about 5 years. It makes great prints from my 4990 scans, although the magenta might be a little less vivid than the current inkset in the 3880 (I...
