does lightware now make a case wide enough for 8x10 (17")?
years ago i had a deardorff 8x10 and kept it in the mf1420. i remember being able to put in 3 lenses and a meter. you could put 2 filmholders in the outside pocket. the bp1420 uses the same shell...
i have an 8x10 and 4x5 sinar p. the sinar pan tilt is the best head to use with sinar cameras. also i use the 1504 gitzo and can recommend it for your needs.
what are "practical aspects" if weight and price are not factors? have you handled either the apo symmar or sironar? they are roughly the size and weight of the 210 super angulon. both are...
i have had several linhof super screens over the past couple years and while none has actually warped i have noticed they all bowed at various times under differing conditions if the long sides...
i have a similar problem with the front cap of my 150xl. the s.n. (or some number) easily touches the front element. i was lucky there was no permanent mark. now i use a new microfiber cloth as a...
"but wide open at f/4.5 I found the image soft enough to make focussing difficult."
yes, english is mutable. nevertheless i am interested in where this spelling comes from and who uses it as i've not seen it before, here or in england.
please tell me why "adds" is an acceptable contraction of advertisements and where this comes from. also i'd like to know why contractions cannot be incorrectly spelled. at what point is it no ...
gitzo 1509 but if you can afford it get a foba stand
get it. it's the sharpest 8x10 lens i've used. i haven't run out of coverage yet. i got the center filter for extreme shifts but 95% of the time i don't need it. i've used it on a toyo with a...
the toyo, the arca f and the hoffman are it
i enjoy a raw toyo from time to time.
steve grimes, apparently
it is sporadically used on fashion shoots, when it is in fashion of course. i've never heard a fashion or advertising client specifically ask for it, though (except for 8x10 polaroid). avedon...
the makina lenses - at least with the shutter - are very large.
i'll assume you were joking but it is fluorescent. and there is nothing wrong with fluoridate or fluoridation - adding fluoride to something, like toothpaste, exactly as fluorinate is adding of...
i live about 2.5 miles north of the wtc. i spent tues morning on my roof watching the whole thing. each day it sinks in a little more but i'm not sure i can really comprehend what has happened.
dan,
when one buys a photoflex changing room new there is a printed warning advising the product is not guaranteed to be light tight. this is one of the many reasons i use shadow boxes. a great...
david,
the loading method you describe is the same as the book/instructor taught method. you are just positionong the holder with the flap toward you rather than away from you as you load.
you should call sinar bron. they are very helpful. removing rubber strips may be the wrong answer - there's a good chance sinar meant them to be there. when you speak with them ask about the proper...
the cheaper tents (photoflex,calumet) are not guaranteed to be light tight. if you get one test it. don't use in bright light or leave your film out in them until you're sure. some people i know...
why would a cat need hairspray?
a soporific. about $10 each street price.
the 4x5 bellows frames aren't the same so i'd think the 8x10's aren't either. used toyo 8x10 bags are very scarce but they do come up on ebay once in a while (i've seen two in the last yearwithout...
it must have been very hot in the room when i typed my second post. enlargements, even cropped panoramics, are always by the same factor for both dimensions. i guess an anamorphic lens would give...
interesting. this is the first time i have heard those terms are dimension specific. most definitions i know say the terms are basically interchangeable. or is that just for common usage and your...
"Scale in Rodenstock literature is lineal magnification."
isn't this because enlargement is commonly the same (or close to the same) in both dimensions? it is unusual to enlarge only one...
jorge,
could you explain in more detail your distinction between magnification and enlargement? just the first sentence or two of your last post as i'm having trouble understanding. if i switch...
"I look for circle of illumination, MTF, and contrast." "I use two Rodenstock Sironar-S lenses, one Rodenstock Grandagon, and a Schneider XL series"
you don't need to care about lens design,...
i searched for a couple years for an 810 conversion and never found one, as have many others. i heard stories they come up once in a while but i got tired of waiting. i picked up a sinar 810 p in...
david,
i don't know why you are having trouble with wide lenses. i used mine with a 65 on a flat board without problem. i had the spacer so polaroids were not a problem, even with the 65. which...

a center filter is used to even the illumination on film. this unevenness changes with lens movements. you would have to adjust the position of any printing stage center filter to match, unless of...
i assumed serge was referring to the external scale.
the p/p2 doesn't have the tilt aid, the f1/f2 does. i'm not sure about the f.
i think your best bet is to get a sinar f2 or norma. i say this only because the sinar system is the most extensive, most available (new, used and rental) and best supported in this country. the f2...
can someone please answer the question? what are we waiting for, christmas?
tabletop photographers frequently use large tilt angles.
