Didn't have time to do more than skim the text, but liked what I read. Will finish it later. The photos are stunning! You have captured a very ethereal feeling in your work. Thanks for sharing.

One more opinion: I bought mine used, it worked great. However, it didn't take long for it to need a shot of Viagra. After several uses it got VERY droopy, so much so that I now leave it at home and...
Yeah, MattO, and I think the moon is made out of cheese, because I haven't been there to see for myself. Why don't you find someone who has one of these lesser machines set up properly and try it...
Amen to that, Graeme! I shoot what feels good to me. If elitist gallery owners don't like it, screw 'em!
I buy all the outdated (read: cheap!) Velvia I can find, but that's typically from photo suppliers who have had it stored in the fridge. I'd definitely follow Jim's advice, and then some: shoot a few...
Tim beat me to adding a link from this very site that details policies in NPs. However, beware of shooting in some locations in California, as they have their own sets of rules in some cases. (Not...
Maybe it was rated 9+ on a scale of 100.
It is killer stuff. I've got the film holder caddy and the Quickload/Readyload holder, and they are great! My buddy has those items plus the lens cases, which will be next on my list. I wish all LF...
I've just recently started using a 3200 combined with Silverfast Ai, and it is amazing for 4x5, not so much for medium format. I've printed sections of 4x5 scans that would equate to 16x20 and 20x24...
Hi all,
Does anyone here know where I can find an online resource for pricing photo usage? I've never really had a set price list, and I sometimes get requests out of the norm, and would like a...
Alan, I would say that pretty much verifies what Jerry what's-his-name was saying. Not all meters are calibrated the same. The difference is bourne out in your differing standards for 4x5 vs. 35mm.
If you're just not sure, I'm sure there are more than a few of us here who would gladly accept a "re-donation."
This all reminds me of Garth Brooks' miserable campaign against selling used CDs. Come on, big companies, stop sweatin' the small stuff that only serves to infuriate your customer base.
What a great forum. Just curious: Would a user-to-user LF classified section work here? Is that something you mods would be interested in including?
Kerry Thalmann, you can come home now.
Don't know specifically about the products you mentioned, but they sure are easy to fashion on your own. I use a 6x7cm Fold-Mat, and just hold it in place while I compose. (Just did a roll of 120...
I've car camped along the road that runs N-S on the E side of the prominent N-S dyke without any problems. It's almost a necessity, as there are no motels in Shiprock. You'd have to go to...
Having just returned from a California road trip, I should add that they're also shepharding vehicles through inspection stations manned by Border Patrol agents. I was never stopped, they just...
Art is a guy I knew in high school. Wonder what he's up to these days...
Thanks, everyone!
Don't forget that it does move the axis point of the lens to a point behind the axis point of the front standard, meaning any on-axis titls will not be on-axis. The difference should be pretty ...
Headin' to San Diego next week, then back through southern Arizona towards Tucso n for some desert shooting. Anybody got the skinny on pro labs in those two citi es for reliable dip-and-dunk 4x5 E-6...
Thanks Thilo!
What's the difference between Rodenstock Grandagon and Grandagon-N lenses? Do th e Ns just have a more modern coating, or is it related to angle of view or image circle? As always, thanks!
Peter, I also own the 125mm Fuji lens and think it's terrific! The filter size is bigger than it needs to be, but the lens is quite light. I went from a 135mm Symmar-S to the Fuji for it's slightly...
Whenever possible, if you could list a URL for the photo gods you mention, that would be greatly helpful. I vote for Jack Dykinga (www.dykinga.com).
There's lots of info on this very site about modern and classic lenses for 4x5. Have you checked those resources? Scroll down to "Lenses" on the opening page.
The problem with this premise is the "either/or" factor. One can take sharp, depth-to-infinity images AND gauzy, romantic images. And anything in between. Neither one is new, neither will likely go...
My RW45 has zero detents for front and back tilt, front swing. They seem solid, but not so much so that you can't set the position very close without falling back into the detent.
Paul is absolutely right! I paid just $1600 for my RW45 brand spankin' new.
I know some may "poo-poo" our Ebony enthusiasm as little more than a camera-of-the-moment fad, but I just got my camera a few nights ago and have found myself setting it up repeatedly and working...
I just sold my Wisner Expedition camera, which had geared rear axis tilt. It was a nice feature, but not one to base a purchase on. By comparison, just last night I received my new Ebony RW45...
You're right. I always called it the "moony-11" rule, but it has nothing to do with the Rev. Sun Myong Moon, or whatever his name is. ;-)
Keep at it, Phil. With plenty of practice, all the mechanics of photography will become an unobtrusive, natural extension of the process, allowing your artistic vision to shine through.
I pulled through Vegas early last year (or was it the year before?) and had film processed at Color Reflections. They did an excellent job, totally pro set-up, AND they had a bevy of babes staffing...
Just about anything by David Muench or John Fielder.
I know a few people who use their 35mm camera for their meter, as I did early on. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you've been comfortable with the readings it's given you in the past. Exposure ...
Michael, I'm no expert on this, but for starters, you might consider a true macro LF lens, which would be optically optimized for close- focusing. I do some close-up work with the lenses I have...
Anatoly, I (like countless others) own a Symmar-S 210, and it is a great lens. $350 is also an excellent price! Sure, the APO is a better lens, but enough to pass up a great deal on a great lens?...
Wayne,
I have a Gregory Denali pack that I can put all my necessary camping gear AND a Tamrac 778 camera backpack inside. That way I can basecamp somewhere and strike out from there with just...
