Heh, if you where a true luddite you wouldn't use a light meter either ;). A depth of field app is just an alternative/complement to printed depth of field tables, it won't get in the way of...

Hello, author of Lumariver Profile Designer here. As far as I know if you install it on one device you should have access to it on another device for free, as long as logged in to the store with the...
I've just released a new update (v1.0.4) of this which includes a lens database. You can always enter your lenses manually as before if you're using something exotic (which is common in the large...
I recently made a depth of field calculator app called "Lumariver Depth of Field" (available at both Android and iOS) that I think can be relevant for large format, although I use it myself on a...
The future is probably being tethered with live view via a thin lightweight tablet computer similar to the iPad, which you can attach to the camera at the traditional ground glass position to have...
Planted concealed advertising? What made you think that? I'm certainly not affiliated with Linhof in any way, and I don't think my review is lacking in criticism of the bad things or presenting...
Thanks for the reply.
I actually use some of my loupes without the skirt to tilt it, so then it becomes much like a jewelry loupe.
I'm also thinking about going crazy and try to adapt something...
As you can see in the linked photograph (in the original post) of the ground glass it is a bit of a myth that the grain cannot handle large magnifications. Starting to see grain is not the same as...
I have a Linhof Techno digital view camera and made the discovery that 6x or 10x lupes is way too low resolution to maximize ground glass capability and focus precision. The 6x lupe tradition is...
I have a Linhof Techno digital system with 35mm and 47mm non-retrofocus lenses. These are rather dark on the Linhof gg + fresnel. I'm considering upgrading to a Maxwell screen, and Bill has suggested...
It is not a definite decision. There are many things to consider, I need the whole picture and make a budget and plan. It is a very costly system so I don't want to buy the wrong things. This is one...
You're probably right. Large format digital is a rather messy format from start to end. Tiny ground glass, lens color cast, sync cables, sliding backs etc. Compared to a DSLR it does not seem...
Thanks for the replies. I think I will be ok. There's always some risk of movement, but it is probably going to be so small that there is no problem to solve it with alignment tools in...
I'm currently in the looking-around-phase, moving to "large format" digital (really cropped medium format, 36x48mm). Linhof Techno seems like a good platform in that case, and can start off with 6x7...
I have investigated scanning backs actually, and got several offers ranging from $500 - $1500, but only equipment from the 1990s which often have mechanical issues and poor image quality and ancient...
I'll keep an eye open on the second hand market. My calculations are based on new prices of fine equipment, Arca Swiss F-Line, Rodenstock lenses, and it adds up... Still a lot cheaper than MF...
Thanks for the tips, and really interesting film comparison. It is a bit sad that color revarsal films does not perform as good as color negatives. Grown up on digital I don't really like to look at...
I'm still in the "investigation phase", i e I have not started to invest in film systems yet (only have digital). I have not deep-dived into drum scanning options, but I have indeed located Crimson...
I know what will probably happen, start off saying "I'll never develop my own film". And then a year later end up doing it anyway :). But it is good to know that it is not mandatory to get high end...
Thanks, I feel much more confident now. I think I can live with not adjusting exposure in the development (some services in here in Sweden provide that option though), I know it is harder to hit the...
I'm aware of the high cost and time consuming. I'm in Sweden and I don't have local services, but I have national. With drum scanning and everything it will be about $120 per frame. But since only 4...
Haha :). No, actually I'm quite experienced with high res photography already through digital mosaic stitching with tele lenses, know all about gigabyte file sizes etc, and the need for precision in...
I'm actually not into LF... yet. But I'm considering moving there (to 4x5") for my landscape work to be able to work with the view camera, and because it is a cost effective way to get high...
