Jeff,

What country is that Phone number in ? The US? Not known in South Korea anyway.

No, I am pretty much doing the same thing as he has. Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't seen his article but I should give it some more attention. I long ago worked out that lenses of a short FL like...

Glad to oblige

my personal work, type 55 based is on the Ebony gallery

Yes, I tried this and its really fantastic if you want to compose a scene from multiple elements. I actually combined two architectural shots made at slightly different perspectives and it...

The limitations of putting a DSLR on a viewcam are caused by the depth of the mirror box on the DSLR.

Some of the lenses like the 24 digitar have very short flange to focal plane distances. In...

You owe it to yourself to look at 'Lightroom' from Adobe. If you really just want to do the things you say. Its cheaper than either Photoshop or Aperture and has some fantastic and worthwhile...

Digital files from something like a Phase One P45 or an Aptus 75 do have a distinctly different look from film, particularly if you are the sort of person that spends their life at 100% view in...

Whoops, I think that they've thrown out the baby with the bathwater!

Michaels test was only one way of skinning this particular cat.

Its taken me a year, but I now have a useable VC solution...

Thanks Eric, good tip about the Nikon tele. Maybe I could eventually get that as well as a 240.

Dead right about the atmospheric factors, they have a big bearing. In some of the images this is...

Hany,

Good point, I still had my 240 hat on, I'd forgotten that the Ebony has that limit. The sliding back adds about 20mm in depth so that only makes 290mm. Looks like I should stick with a...

I think its a valid comparison because it reflects what I was actually doing in practice. It isn't a valid comparison of the media and I didn't claim that it was.

Because of where I live, its...

Theres a lump in my throat... time to get a second hand model ready to put in my fantasy vintage darkroom.

I've been testing my Aptus 75 and the results are already much better than I ever got with 5x4 film scanned on the Epson 3200 or 4870. They are even better than film scanned on the Flextight...

How I do dust and scratch removal.

1) Apply the dust and scratches filter to large flat areas such as the sky. Carefully use the threshold parameter to select the size of spot to be removed.

The digital lenses only go up to 210mm, though the image circles are adequate. However these come at a price of more than double that of a Fujinon A 240.

I've found that diffraction effects don't...

I want to get a 240-300mm lens and was wondering if anyone has compared the normal and telephoto offerings from Fujinon.

I need this for a specific project where I need the maximum resolution at...

Hmm... I have never looked after the T55 that well, as I didn't realise that it had these problems. Some of the images which are affected were shot on very new film. However, sometimes its been a...

I think everyone who uses this must shoot landscape. Mine only focussed at infinity. I discovered very poor focus alignment so that close up it front focussed rather badly. At the time I was still...

I've been shooting and processing T55 for the negs for several years now. I follow the recommendations in the Polaroid tech notes closely... but I keep having the following problem and wonder if...

A get well soon message from me also... I just found this forum, so its good to know I can finally pay my respects to the man who (unbeknownst to him) taught me how to use a view camera through his...
