  1. B+W printing houses who are now using Chromira or Lightjet equipment ?

    Andy, just to clarify, do you mean B&W onto B&W paper or colour paper?

    Just to finish the story... The photos from the trip are now on my website http://www.duskart.com

    Shooting wide open.

    Nothing is better (when you get it right...) Why have all of these camera movements if you can't show them off once in a while! Anyone with a digicam can get everything in focus ;-)

    What do you consider large format?

    This question comes up every now and again. If it's got movements, then it's LF...
  5. Why No Barrel / Pincushion Distortion LF Lenses?

    Bruce, examples are the Rodenstock 35mm and 55mm. They are a retrofocus design so that there enough room for a little tilt and swing before the standards hit each other.
  6. Why No Barrel / Pincushion Distortion LF Lenses?

    The new ultra wide angle, retrofocus design LF lenses are still zero geometric distortion. The reason is that if they weren't, they wouldn't sell any.
  7. Could someone explain Arca Swiss' Orbix to me?

    Scott, the Orbix tilt does not replace the base tilts, it is in addition to it. For landscape photography (in fact almost any photography) it is not necessary to use the base tilts on these cameras....

    Large Format in New York

    "I tend to shoot in out of the way, rundown areas (industrial parts of Brooklyn, Bayonne, Newark, etc), so if anyone is ever up for an adventurous photo outing I'm always looking for someone to shoot...

    Large Format in New York

    John, Bob, David, Jason & Paulr, thank you your replies!



    It seems that NY is like Paris when it comes to tripods - you aren't supposed to use one, but you get away with it 95% of the time as...

    Large Format in New York

    Very soon I'll be spending five days in New York for the first time, and I don't know what to expect when it comes to a tripod mounted camera. I have taken photos in London, Paris and Sydney and...

    new website

    Arca-Swiss 6x9 and 45mm/47mm lenses

    You will need the recessed board for both of these lenses to get any useful movements (not to mention a bag bellows). You could of course go really wide with the 35mm instead which also uses the...

    Making LF Network Truly Large Format

    Robert, how small a box do you want to be in? If your definition of LF is 'view cameras' then you will have some rollfilm cameras included. If your definition is for contact printed black and white...
