Leonard I love the quick method for hyperfocal focusing!
I printed up a tiny Hansma table, it's about 4mm by 20mm laminated and stuck to the camera with double sided tape. My EV table (also...

How archival is lamination?
I owned a Tachi but haven't had a Shen Hao. Things to consider are the bag bellows, you can get movements (just) with a 75mm on the Tachi but not more than that. Base and axis tilts on the Shen Hao...
This is the digital hardware section of the forum Bruce, why the send off? This section is all about talking about scanners, just read through the posts on the first page.
Who gives a flying *bleep*?
So you say a 1/3 not 1/2?
I had thought of using the rangefinder for the Hansma method, you get the same accuracy but much faster.
My new camera is arriving in about 10 minutes and I'm back in...
Grow up, they are a company in France therefore they are governed by the Euro not the Swiss Franc which is the point that Bob has been trying to make. Your lack of the grasp of modern worldwide...
I think that if you apply the 'reproduction' argument from a traditional art world point of view then all photography falls under that heading. Trying to use an argument used against photography as a...
...that photography isn't art?
Assuming that I have to use a rather small CoC these urban close up images are going to end up rather difficult, a photo like either of those two will be almost impossible to shoot with front to back...
If a print from a digital file is merely a reproduction compared to an original work of art like a hand print I assume this is because the hand print is an original and unique piece of work, it will...
I used DOFMaster, should we let the software fight it out or does anyone want to adjudicate? :D
I have to admit to having liked the HDR setting on Silverfast, one click, no presets or fiddling and you get all the information there is to have. That way you can do all the work in the lot more...
Bill, the hyperfocal distance for a 135mm lens with 4X5 @ f32 is 19.1 ft with a near DOF of no closer than 9.5 ft.
I don't know what the CoC of 6X12 film is but I would assume that it was even...
That is good to know, Silverfast is very expensive for the 9000, $500 and more if I don't pretend to live in the US!
Selling work at airports is a great idea. People go into duty free bored and in the mind frame that they are saving money eventhough the old adage 'Duty free but not profit free' is so very very...
After doing a bit of research the Scan Science kit is by far the cheapest method and seems to make sense, they use the regular Nikon holder just adding their own glass rather than making a new holder...
Isn't flatter better for scanning, equivelent of exposing for shadows and developing at N-1?
It's funny actually, the price in the UK is over double that in the US for a 9000, how do they have the cheek to do it?
Many thanks Kirk your opinion is worth a lot to me, if anyone has experience...
Hi,
I will be looking to scan 6X12 B&W negs. My question is if the Nikon 9000 (using wet mounted negs and stitched which I read is the only way to scan this size) can give me sufficient resolution...
The fotoman 6X17 retails at $1700, yours offers movements and is still smaller than a 4X5 isn't it? There are quite a few dedicated 6X17 cameras (no doubt you would offer this with all the DaYi masks...
You can't just stop there, it looks facinating, do tell more!
I have the RRS lever clamp, how would I attach it?
Hi,
Can you tell me if you can fit a AS QR head to a Manfrotto 410 head? I am too much in love with AS plates and the QR system to want to abandon it completely but I'm finding the use of a ball...
What is it Lachlan? Looks nice.
Hi Lachlan!
I had a day of intense research yesterday! Had a look at the Fotoman and the Georsi cameras but was put off for a couple of reasons. The Fotoman looks very nice and the price is good...
Well I just bought it, £250 was a pretty good price, better than a good graphic in similar condition and my ebay trigger finger just got a bit too itchy! Considering I'm probably going to sell a...
Hi, according to the MPP Users forum you can adjust a cam for more accurate rangefinder focusing for example when replacing the lens. I have an option on a very good condition MPP mkVII for a good...
Well, tried it today for real. What a nightmare. The alleyways are tiny, you have either tourists or kids under your feet at all times and with the focusing distances f45 seems to be a minimum.
...
I'll let you know how I got on then!
Many thanks to all. I am familiar with the basics of movements, I am trying to asertain if in the examples shown whether the vertical distance between focal points as would be caused by a tilt would...
Printing size will be 40X20" for close viewing (I've never believed in 'correct viewing distance' for the real world, people are so inconsiderate in moving closer aren't they!). I think a wider lens...
And that helps me how?
I'm asking for help not marketing. I already paid for your book.
So if I find, particularly with the first photo that I need to stop down too much, what do I do?
Steve, I bought your book, I'm afraid I found it far too basic in that it didn't go into depth into...
Joseph, they were shot while I was walking around with a DSLR looking for interesting photos to return to with my LF rig, shot at f2.8 I think, just to give me ideas, snapshots in other words. I want...
Hi,
I hope you will excuse my beginner status in this question!
I've not done much in the way of exploring movements as yet but I'm now shooting in a enviroment where I'm finding it very...
A Canon 1Ds mkIII with a t/s lens giving 11mm of movement will give you a 7X17 ratio image at 33 megapixels allowing a 36X15" print at 250DPI, native resolution. I don't know if these lenses allow...
Better to have the choice even if you don't use that not have the choice at all?
I swapped my Tachi for a Gandolfi with a Graflok specifically to use two backs that I hadn't even conceived of...
Hi,
I have in mind a large project photographing streetscapes in Jerusalem combined with a seperate and parallel project on street photography, etc.
Although I have been here for four months...
