    Re: Deploying the 4x5 quick and dirty...

    Leonard I love the quick method for hyperfocal focusing!

    I printed up a tiny Hansma table, it's about 4mm by 20mm laminated and stuck to the camera with double sided tape. My EV table (also...

    Re: Shen Hao vs. Tachihara

    I owned a Tachi but haven't had a Shen Hao. Things to consider are the bag bellows, you can get movements (just) with a 75mm on the Tachi but not more than that. Base and axis tilts on the Shen Hao...

    Re: Tilt in an urban enviroment

    So you say a 1/3 not 1/2?

    I had thought of using the rangefinder for the Hansma method, you get the same accuracy but much faster.
