Hey thanks. I emailed Keith and got the word. There is an ongoing list of orders for 2 types of 5x7 color films (Portra 160 and Ektar 100). I put one down for Ektar 100 but the orders have to...

Did this ever go anywhere?

What do you guys typically do for color 5x7 film nowadays?

He had has a write up in the New York Times and Slate for taking longish-exposure photos in the city with this "ghost" look to the people in them. How long of exposure do you think the following...

Thanks for posting. I just picked up one of these FCL57-A, thanks in part to the ability to watch this video, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Does anyone know generally what 4x5 reducing backs are...

First upload. Test 1,2,3.

This is an old thread, but wondering if anyone else has experience putting the Wista metal 5x7 conversion back onto a Wista 45SP or other metal Wista 4x5 field camera.

Specially wondering about...

Can I second that request and ask that it is posted in the original large size TIFF (after post-processing)?

I'd like to compare what my 4x5 scans look like, because I'm not sure if I'm doing it...

Just saw this "MF back" released for use on the Sony NEX -- looks like it contemplates mounting a MF lens onto the device, but it also appears mounted on a 4x5 back so imagine it is designed for use...

To conclude, with a wide aperture and short depth of field the sharpness is better with a larger format. When the lens is stopped down to...

Hey, any thoughts on comparing these two lenses?

From what I gather, there is some debate about whether the Fujinon A 240 as a process lens is as good at close to infinity (and it's not like I'll...

Do you mind if I ask how you even find these places to shoot from?

Do they have the ability to open windows in a tall building or do you ever shoot through a window?

Hi,

If I'm in photoshop viewing a 4x5 bw scan and click the zoom function to view "Actual Pixels", I feel like the greatly enhanced file size of a 4x5 scan gives a different level of enlargement...

I have a newer version of Vuescan perhaps and it won't go to 0 in the color channel brightness but only to 0.001. Is that going to be the same thing or will it waste a lot of memory scanning all the...

Wondering generally if developing your own bw film and being very precise about controlling the variables is worth it if trying to use the zone system...

or is it your opinion that digital...

I'm wondering if the one close to me (NYC village) is a bad deal--they charge $4 a sheet.

What does your local lab charge?

That could be but I think it did pretty well in the tests. They both had really good consistent performance across the whole frame.

But i tend to think a one-off test of each lens is going to...

If you look at the Christopher Perez/Kerry Thalmann lens tests, they show that the 1980's non-APO labeled version of the Rodenstock Sironar-N 135mm f5.6 arguably outperformed the later 1990's APO...

Maybe this is a hybrid thread that belongs in a different subforum, but if you plan on scanning with an epson 700/750 type flatbed, is there a bw film people find particularly "good" or suited to...

Anyone with a wista 45sp or vx or Linhof technika have the grandagon 90 mm f6.8 on a recessed board--especially a cheap Chinese board from eBay.

I see some outdated threads about some oem boards...

Would it be possible for a hobbyist new to LF photography to employ digital processing without owning any high end (or even decent) scanning and printing equipment?

I live in NYC and there are a...
