I have used inexpensive ones for family photos and pictures that have far more emotional value than technical (I won't even venture to "artistic") merit. I like the look, especially with uniformly...

And of course, if you go with the computer you can have a million exact copies at the push of a button - ink and paper permitting. For that matter, so can your cat. :)

Just a humble suggestion - those who have a lot more ability to shed light on this subject than I have answered this question repeatedly here and in other forums - I would suggest that a search would...

Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing these - really made my day, and I have to say I have as much appreciation for the skills of yourself and others who managed to capture these so beautifully...

Davood,

That is a lovely image - I think I like everything about it. Well done. Sorry for the off topic comment - couldn`t help it:)

Peter.

aah! but of course :D

My personal (and I stress that) opinion, is that its silly (to put it mildly) to apply statements of what is "better" to various media used to make art.
I have seen some very, very moving colour...

I thought the M stood for "moth" in this case. I am no darn good at this maths thing:)

From a more "philosophical" point of view, what you are asking about is the journey - not the destination - of photography. I am afraid that everyone who has so much as dabbled in photography has...

Wow! You're friends with Tom Waits? :)

A friend of mine just snapped his lift handle, so I certainly second that - be careful, especially with the big drums. My buddy looked quite annoyed - hopefully you won't have to with due care.

This looks to me like more of a photojournalistic capture than a posed portrait - which is great, but lacking the help of a photo essay or additional content in the photo it lacks context. I have to...

Why take photos... you can simulate those in PS as well... Actually, most of what I see now-a-days is just that...

Velvia is an example of horses for courses. It does some things that no other...

I would suggest going to the Ilford web site and pulling up the data sheet for the film or developer (or both) they should contain extrapolation tables for time vs temp above 20 deg C. They are...

Got my D5 XL for free, with a Super Chromega head, all the carriers I could need, etc. I could have had a 8x10 enlarger at the same time, for the same price. There was no place in my apartment that...

Since when does shooting film mean scanning? All my celluloid goes under an enlarger, I simply don't see the point of digital output for somoene who is NOT making a living from their photos. I am...

I was born in Poland. I live in Canada = not "American", so my opinion is certainly not of a nationalistic nature.

AVCHD - you're a complex ridden little bundle of insecurities. While I have a...

All valid points, excellent advice, and I have been reading with interest since I too have this fantasy of using LF gear for non-traditional LF typs of work in the future. One thing that struck me...

That is just really, really cool to see - not just from the point of view of photography in general and LF specifically - but as one of those "wow, there are still some things RIGHT with the world!"...

I have to admit something... and I don't feel particularily smart doing so (not the first, won't be the last time I am sure). In my fumbly first time film loading exercise, I missed the two little...

Thanks for the responses guys,I really appreciate the input.
I think my grammar leaves as much to be desired as my knowledge of sheet film:)

What I meant is that in my newly bought film holders,...

I found the thread by this name, but unfortunately, I can't find the notch in my film holders... does anyone know what

Hi,

Sorry to piggy-back on this thread, but I am in a simular situation - I do have access to a makeshift darkroom, but would like to have a daylight method for film (4x5). I was intrigued by the...

Thanks for the input Jerry - I think you hit the nail on head when you said that the mechanisms are often "not as straight forward as they seem". I think tis the case here, as well. The shaft has a...

Thanks for the words of welcome - I appreciate it! Good to know there are real cameras in Peterborough still:)
I think I will write Sinar and see what happens, but I have been weighing my options...

Hi All,

I am new here as you can tell and right off the bat I have a minor crisis...
I have been meaning to get into LF for a while now, but have always put it off until the finances allowed it...
