Thanks a lot to all who answered this. I'm really looking forward to this trip a lot, and have already packed and repacked and re-repacked my camera! The only issue I'm now worrying about is...
So, I'm heading North in a week or so and hope to get some good photos of temple s in the snow (I live in Japan). I plan to use mainly Astia, basically because I 'm more used to it than anything...
Depends on how you define 'in the field'. Most of my life is spent in a concrete jungle, so, I use a large aluminium trunk with my 4x5 monorail already assembled. Everything except the tripod goes...

I've only been reading this forum for less than a year, but photo.net for a few more. It gets my vote, although I'd agree with a previous poster who said that the copyright should be held...

Shooting and preserving your sanity at night with colour film is tricky. How about a beefed up scouting expedition? Go out one night to seek out your 4x5 set-up positions and shots, but take a 35mm...
Count me in if you're coming to Tokyo. Fuji is pretty much everywhere, but some Kodak and Ilford stuff might be best arranged beforehand.
Just saw this on the BBC's web site:http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/wor ld/americas/newsid_1614000/1614835.stmBasically the US are going to 'bom bard'the mail with radiation. Eek!
This has come up a few times recently, mainly in relation to using preloaded fil ms in a non-dedicated holder. Elsewhere it was mentioned that 1/8 of an inch of bowing had been seen. I'm curious as...
Scott - good news! I've just got a couple of boxes on Readyload and was planning to run them through my 545 Pro. Bit more confidence now. Fuji stuff seems to work fine, and both Kodak and Fuji...
Please stop reinforcing those American stereotypes! Next time I'm over there I'll be scared to carry any more than a cereal box pinhole camera loaded with the cheapest film I can find, and I'll...
After a couple of goofs while metering for E6, I've finally decided to buy a dec ent meter and attempt to be a bit more methodical about determining exposure. So , I went shopping, initially for a...
Where did you read that you can get Tri-X in ReadyLoads? According to Kodak's site, the only B&W film they provide in ReadyLoads is T-MAX 100.
Bizarrely, I get the opened QuickLoad packets back, along with the processed film. Can't quite work out why. Maybe the lab is trying to help remember the film batch number or something?
Actually, for Fuji you've got *two* choices, QuickLoad and QuickChange. QuickLoad is single sheets of film in light tight paper holders, similar to Kodak's ReadyLoad and Polaroid's 4x5 sheet film. ...
Thanks a lot everyone for your helpful advice. I'll stick to basics for now and hope 'er indoors doesn't notice the missing white bed linen. Then again, one side of my darkcloth is nice and white...
So, I was sick last week and stuck in the house being bored, so I thought I'd pl ay around with my camera and shoot some things in the house, mainly (I'm an LF b eginner) to experiment with plane of...
According to Fujifilm's website, you can get Provia 100, Astia 100 and Velvia in QuickChange. If you want something else I guess you can always load a magazine yourself, although can you actually...
Am I missing something? The 8 sheet holder's been available here in Japan for ages, I think; in fact it's only a month a so ago that I posted a question here asking if it was any good. Is this a...
International mail order, eh? Hmm, not easy. If you can get over here then I'll agree with trying Yodobashi, but only for their ease of use. They're good if you're only in Japan for a few days, but...
Newbie question: if I want a 3 second exposure but my shutter only has a maximum controlled speed of 1 second (with bulb as the next setting), how do I accurate ly time the exposure? The difference...
I ended up getting the Polaroid holder (which came with a box of Type 55) and a couple of boxes of Fujifilm B&W Quickload. Seemed like the best all round solution, as the QuickChange system just...
So, I went to my local camera shop to look at getting a Polaroid film back, a bo x of Polaroid film and some some Fuji QuickLoad film, perhaps some of the scarce Fuji B&W. Anyway, it's not a major...
Thanks to everyone for responding. I eventually thought 'what the hell' and bought it - just waiting very eagerly for it to be delivered now!
I'm contemplating the purchase of a second-hand Cambo view camera as my first da bble in large format photography. Principally I'm interested in the perspective correction on offer for architectural...
