Thank you much! Image was made with my 4X5 Wisner and Fuji 125mm f5.6 lens. Film is Fuji Velvia 100. There was some cropping. All the best, john

171061 I made this image two weeks ago in the Franconia Notch area of New Hampshire. All the best everyone, John
Historically, much has been said on this forum regarding this magazine. If I could pick one word to express the range of sentiment it would be ambivalent. I believe it was an ambivalence borne from...
I have used tripods with short spikes and tripods with a rubber tip that screws to reveal a short spike. However these shorter spikes really just sat the tripod on the surface. These long spikes dig...
Thanks also. I have a pocket expedition but a lot of this looks relevant for the PE.
That is quite a service from a prestigious photographer. Maybe the closest thing to a session with Ansel Adams; I would have thought such a service would be prohibitively priced. Thanks for posting...
I have owned a few Gitzos. I presently own a carbon fiber Gitzo. After I bought my CF, I discovered a very useful accessory for the landscape photographer, namely 170326 Gitzo extra long spikes....
Yes, I will look carefully. Up until now, I immediately went to front axis tilt. Thanks again, Doremus
Mr Ritter has worked on my Wisner; I wouldn't want anyone else.
I haven’t read this entire thread carefully enough and don’t have word working experience, but I think you have a very big problem here with your camera. My concern would be putting screw holes into...
170275 Thank you Doremus for your analysis. Your contribution to the forum has always been much appreciated. Well, here is a photo of my camera for anyone reading this thread. The small round knob...
Thank you for your comments. From the LF forum homepage, under How to focus the view camera:"Some people prefer to focus on the near with the knob and on the far with the tilt. This might work better...
I have owned a 4X5 Wisner Pocket Expedition for a while but I have not used it that much. I have been using a digital camera but I hope to do more LF. The odd thing I notice using this camera, and I...
Thank you for your comments Otto. I have been using Silver Efex to convert some of my color Sigma DP2 Merrill images to black and white but your point about color film to Silver Efex is a good one. I...
170165 Hi Leigh and thank you for your comment. I tried running the same Fuji Velvia 100 image through Silver Efex again. This is their neutral setting. Perhaps this one is a little less digital? All...
170160 Hello again, I thought I would run previously posted image through Silver Efex for a black and white version. Perhaps it resulted in an overly dramatic overly grainy look.
Also consider your favorite lens focal lengths and see if a particular camera you are interested in will be able to handle those focal lengths. If you are OK with using only "normal" focal length...
Thanks so much for your comment
Thank you very much for your comment
170075 I haven’t used my LF camera in a long while, as I have been using my digital camera. This image was made of a local area with my 4X5 Wisner and Fuji 125mm F5.6 (52mm filter). All the best...
Ha Ha! True the Gregory Crewdson thread I tried restarting is also old, but it could be of interest to some. :)
Just a few rambling thoughts which will have generally already been mentioned in far better form. I think when Jack switched from 35mm film equipment to LF he faced a steep learning curve and...
169895 That’s a wonderful image Terry. I think one of the things I find interesting about his photography is the theatre of the images and the imagined, on my part perhaps, theatre of the Crewdson...
An old thread, but wondering if anyone has seen Brief Encounters and would like to comment on it. I think of Crewdson as a still-movie photographer but apparently he is working on a movie called...
Looking at your photography, which is very nice by the way, I would think a rangefinder camera would suit your style. You have had the Mamiya, I was wondering if you ever went smaller rather than...
169561 Just a thought and all the best :), John
I understand that this is an older post but perhaps the OP is still around, so here is a little bit of info. I use ordinary post-its on the Nd grad filter to help place the filter in the best area....

This is my 4X5 Wisner Pocket Expedition. I think this is one of the best looking versions of this camera. It is really something to see in person. All the best to everyone, John
My reply was in reference to gmfotografie's image.
Impressive detail in the shadows which seems to rival black and white film. Impressive scanning as well.
151941 Here is another image of the same scene made with the Fuji 105mm f5.6 lens.
In this version you can see the vignetting that occurs with even a small amount of movements due to the lens'...
151914Here is another view of the same scene as in my previous post. This time with the little fuji 105mm f5.6 lens
I have a gitzo carbon fiber tripod. A few years back I bought Gitzo's long metal spikes. The price is rediculously high but you could probably find copies on Ebay for less, the point is, I use the...
Not much of an image but it was composed at the Water's edge. So close to the edge I had to keep moving the camera back before the incoming tide. Image was made with my Wisner 4X5, a 150mm apo...
Thanks Doremus, your expertise is very much appreciated.
Bob Salomon is also a good source of information on Linhof products. He contributes to this forum.
The light on the branches was captured and reproduced beautifully; a great example of the potential of large format black and white photography.
A nice set of images Bill. i didn't realize the Nikon worked at distance.
I am very impressed with this work.
My first thought was "you can't do this on large format," and then of course I remembered that you could. Reportage with bokeh, this is the kind of work that...
Never thought about this issue before as all of my cameras whether monorail or wood field camera could move the back forward along a rail or bed. With those designs you could move everything forward...
