  1. Re: Digital Proof Sheets for 5x4 and medium format nagative film?

    Having made proofs with both an Epson V750 and a low wattage light hanging from a bathroom ceiling, the Epson is plainly easier and faster. However, the V750's successor, the V850, costs US$1300 plus...

    Re: Show off your Large Format camera!

    Just had a look at Intrepid's website. Very reasonably priced, and film looks to be fairly readily available. Interesting.

    My Filter Dude 58mm wide angle adapter arrived this morning. Looks fine. No idea what the reason was for the delay. Hopefully, Kiwi will receive his soon.
  10. Re: Rodenstock Grandagon 115 vs Schneider Super Symmar 110 XL

    I stated a fact. If you want to pretend otherwise, go ahead. I'm required to prove what the centre filter characteristics are for your own lens?

  12. Re: Rodenstock Grandagon 115 vs Schneider Super Symmar 110 XL

    So you think that the two numbers refer to different versions of the lens. You certainly get points for inventiveness. Don't you think it's curious that centre filters have two numbers as a matter of...
  13. Re: Rodenstock Grandagon 115 vs Schneider Super Symmar 110 XL

    You should also set Dan Fromm straight. He thinks that the rear thread is 82mm and the front thread is 112mm. That's why centre filters are described with two numbers, in this case 82/112.

  15. Re: Rodenstock Grandagon 115 vs Schneider Super Symmar 110 XL

    If you're going to use a centre filter, you might as well be aware of the fact that the Schneider front thread is 86mm and the Rodenstock's is 112mm.
