I agree about Tru Vue glass. It tends to be cleaner than most other makers. I now only use their Conservation Clear UV glass and their more expensive glasses now. The UV clear and more expensive...

Jansen,
You have certainly chosen a beautiful state to photograph. It is certainly one of favorite states for photography. Beautiful work by the way.
Rich
Herb,
Where do you live. If you can demonstrate that you are selling the work and have a sales tax number you can purchase glass, mats, frames, and all of your framing needs from a wholesale...
Hi Kerry,
Thanks for the information. Usually my stock sales are through the stock agency that represents my work. But, I haven't supplied additional work in years. That is how my photo of a...
Hi David,
Looks like a beautiful camera. Use it and enjoy it. Look forward to seeing some results. What are camera specs?
Rich
Hi Donald,
If I accepted the offer for the usage of the image as a postcard, I never intended to not continue to sell the images as fine art both through direct sales and galleries. I was only...
I was just approached a few days ago by a New Hampshire based Postcard company looking to expand into the Adirondacks to use my Lake Placid photo for a Postcard. They offer $100 which is not much...
I had DHL send my Fuji QL film to and from Portland Oregon via ground with no incident in May (but I was sending a lot of film as well as backpacking equipment, tripod, etc in a Coleman cooler).
...
David,
Are you sure that the lens has been replaced with a new model? The lens is still listed in the current Schneider LF brochure and the Schneider USA website.
Rich
My Apo Symmar L f5.6 120mm is very sharp. I have not tested it enough but it seems to approach the sharpness of my larger Schneider Super Symmar HM 120mm HM which may be the sharpest 120mm lens ever...
Jeff,
I can appreciate your frustration with the public. When I was taking photos of the Sentinel in Bryce Canyon in 1995 I along others (including a German speaking gentleman) were set up since...
They have all been shot??????? Below though taken with Leica SLR's in 1997 (sorry not my 4 X 5). The photo of Dawn at Egg Rock was the first morning trying to find where the sun would rise. The...
I carry Fuji QL film. The biggest problem is the volume that the film takes up.
Rich
I predominantly photograph landscape and nature in 4 X 5.
Rich
John,
Unfortunately there is no other "game in town". I still thought it was worth the trip without question. I spoke to the people at Leica and checked on the R system and anything coming; HP...
Ben,
Astia isn't a perfect match for color either and trying use the appropriate filtration to get a perfect match would be impossible. Astia is more neutral than Provia or any of the Velvia...
If you are looking for digital printing with many possibilities consider Bill Nordstrom at Laser Light Photographics:

As far as I know they are one in the same. Bob Salomon of HP should step in here. But, be aware that the Apo Sironar S f5.6 150mm lens have been in production for quite some time now. Mine dates...
Though an agnostic (to be differentiated from an atheist) myself and trained in Geology and Biology, I can appreciate what I see and work with the light and gravitate toward certain subjects and...
E6 film will be around for much more than 5 years. There are still a reasonable number of larger and even smaller cities with labs processing (though with less frequency) transparencies. My local...
Tuan,
Certainly those of us that do take color landscape photographs are nature photographers for some of our work. I consider myself a nature, landscape, and wildlife photographer. I choose my...
I know that some do not like QR for large format. But, I love my Arca Swiss Type QR plates from different manufacturers including Arca Swiss, RRS, Kirk, etc. for my cameras when mounting them on my...
Intense color change in the Adirondacks in 1995 near Lake Placid, NY. Those in the know will recognize Heart Lake where the Adirondack Mt. Club has its Lodge. Tallest Mountain in the back of the...
Dave,
Hope you feel better soon. Please, no more problems. :(
Rich
I am not arguing that there are any changes. My source was Bruce Mitchell who is now in a different group of Fuji Film USA (now in Florida). But he used to be in charge????? of I believe...
Bob,
Thanks for taking the time to show and let me handle the new Linhof Master Technika 3000. Beautiful camera and it does have that Linhof feel and precision.
Rich
And believe it or not some may want to shoot in color. :D :eek:
Rich
David,
Price is size dependent. As an example a 55mm Heliopan SH-PMC at B&H Photo is $52.95.
Rich
I have to agree with Bob. The new Heliopan SH-PMC are the nicest filters that I have ever used.
Rich
Mike,
If you are unaware, we get a 15% discount rate at APUG for APUG members from LI for all purchases. You just need to use the code of APUG.
See these 2 threads:

B+W and Heliopan use Schott glass. I am not sure of the glass used by Formatt. Hoya, Tiffen, etc. do not use Schott glass. I too like the brass rings, though they are heavier than the aluminum. ...
Hi everyone,
Having returned from Photo Plus in NYC on Friday I wanted to fill you in on some information.
I spoke to one of the Fuji USA staff members that I have known for years. I was told...
I bought my Toho Shimo FC-45X from Jeff and Badger Graphic. He arranged for getting me the Eccentric (WA Lens Panel for me when it came in from Japan) and sent to it to my home. I have also bought...
John,
Just one of the little things of being here for only a year or so; I do not know who everyone else knows. :( But, I certainly know who Richard is since I got my Zone VI Modified Soligor...
Steve,
I tried to avoid responding to John's posting, but....:eek: :D
Rich
Jean-Louis,
The problem of going that route of replacing the Gnassgear lens case with the individual Photobackpacker lens cases is adding volume and weight to your pack. When size and weight are...
Bob,
I certainly understand what you are saying about tooling, R&D, the improvements in the Master 3000 and the value of the dollar versus the Euro.
I feel fortunate that I do not need a Master...
I have known Emerson and participated at shows with him for some years. I have not seen him for some time. His booth at least used to consist of very large square (Hasselblad) images that were...
Bob,
As beautiful and wonderful the Master Technika 3000 is, the B&H Photo price for the camera is $6,199.95. That is more than many of us can afford at this time. I know that you do not like to...
Scott,
Brian is correct about the information regarding Don's pricing. My matted 8" X 10" photos sell near the top of the range that Brian has mentioned and my 11" X 14" (16" X 20" mat) sell...
