    Arca Swiss B1 ball head stiffness

    Yes. I've experienced exactly the same problem.

    There is the lower plastic ring that pushes the ball up for tensioning. The ring has a spherical shape at the top to match the ball. This ring got...

  4. An exercise: The ultimate lite weight LF outfit

    Probably the single most important weight saving equipment choice are my Kelty Phantom and Cloud 4000 backpacks. These are no longer made, but apparently the Cloud 5250 is the current model.

    Imacon 949 vs. Epson 4990

    Just today we began our evaluation of the 949. If they only could add infrared for dust removal! We tried their own FlexTouch algorithm but it either left dust in the scan or it created artefacts.

    Anyone know what the outlook is? We can soon have 22 MP in the 645 format for 10'000 dollars, but what comes next? Is there a market for larger files? These files are plenty big for advertising,...

    Caution, some sources on the web say that the Microtek i900 does not offer Digital ICE dust and scratch removal for film, only for flat art. If true, that sucks.

    Scanner for 5x7?

    Another one that will do 5"x7" (13x18) is the Epson Perfection 4870. There's no film holder for that size, you just put the sheet on the glass.



    The 4870 returns about half of the resolving...
  14. One year between exposure and E6 development,push?

    Have you considered the adapter for the Arca 110 mm lens boards? The advantage would be that if at one point you decide to go with the 6x9 front standard (assuming 4x5 inch), you'll already have the...
  16. One year between exposure and E6 development,push?

    Oh, sorry, I was not clear enough. The first 15 sheets have been exposed and developed a year ago. Only the second set of 15 has not yet been developed.

  18. Difference in image circle significant?

    If you buy another lens, look into the APO Sironar-W (not S, not N). 80 degrees, 252 mm image circle at a resonable size. This lens is sought after, not in current production and somewhat rare.
  19. Importance of lensboard size on tilts and swings with W.A. lenses

    Sorry, I should have worded my answer more carefully.

    For a base tilt camera with a small lens board to have an advantage for tilts, the tilt pivot line must be higher compared with a camera with...
  20. Importance of lensboard size on tilts and swings with W.A. lenses

    It seems that for cameras with base tilt, the size of the lens board is irrelevant to this issue. For an un-shifted exposure, the center of the lens has to be at the same height from the monorail as...
