    Re: Ed Burtynsky - one thumb up, one down?

    Tim, you might have been thinking of Joel Leivick. He ultimately published a book, Carrara: The Marble Quarries of Tuscany, with the Stanford University Press in May 1999.

    Re: Ed Burtynsky - one thumb up, one down?

    Tim:

    There is a lot of excellent art out there that doesn't resonate with me. Aesthetics is a matter of judgment (and hence there are no absolutes) and it is OK to not like an artists work...

  8. Re: Any surveys of 240s on 8x10 out there?

    I use and like the 10" WF Ektar -- even covers 11x14 so all the movement you could want for 8x10 -- but as has been noted it runs a bit large. G-Claron, Dagor, Fujinon A, Sironar, etc. all good too.
  9. Poll: Re: Poll: Would you buy Delta 3200 if it becomes available in 4x5?

  11. Re: So, IS black & white photography on its way out?

    Film has been allegedly dying since the late 19th century. Maybe B&W will become an "alternative process" like gum, bromoil, PT/PD, etc., but it will be around long after we are dead.

    Since not a modern standard Copal 1 or 3, you will obviously need to recut the hole to mount the lens. There is always SK Grimes for such things. http://www.skgrimes.com

    The 150mm Sinaron S is a rebadged (and allegedly quality picked) Rodenstock APO Sironar N. Ole is otherwise correct about the performance of the Symmar.
