Since most of the US is locked in a deep freeze, I thought I'd post an old winter digital shot.

Here's an oldie but a goodie.
Nikon F100, Nikkor 200mm Macro lens, 35mm Fuji Velvia 50.

My favorites are a 75/4.5 Caltar II-N and a 210/6.8 Caltar II-E.
I've put together a couple books on Adorama's Printique. They produce a nice product but they're pricey.
It's not a collage at all. One single negative.
I like the idea of submitting photos specifically for critique. Here is my contribution to the effort.

Here are my thoughts on this photo:
There are a couple of the foreground weeds...
This is Ajax. He's my cuddle kitty. He's a sweetheart.

This one is Eve. She's kind of shy and aloof but sweet with me.

Excellent photograph! This really speaks to me. This is a graphic depiction of what severe depression feels like. Been there, done that.
I made a very similar photograph while of was suffering...
Nice! It's better to be lucky than good!
There's a learning curve to large format photography, isn't there? I'd love to see the first shot you were really happy with. I've only been doing LF photography since 2003 or 2004 so I'm a relative...
I had an Olympus OM1 back in the day. Great camera. Somewhere around 2003 I donated it to the photography program at a local technical school. They were begging for donations, especially manual...
I just sold an item in the FS forum. The software won't let me close the thread. It says I don't have permission. I was able to edit the post but can't reply to it. What's up?
EDIT: I was able to...
Thanks for the tip. I just ordered some ink tanks from Ink Owl. They're about half the price of the OEM tanks.
I'm planning to revive my old Canon ipf6100 wide carriage printer. I need blue and green ink tanks for that printer. It seems Canon has discontinued ink for it so genuine Canon ink tanks are as hard...
"New Tenement" won first place photography in the 2014 Gateway to the Rockies Art Show. Shen Hao PTB 4x5, Fuji 300/8.5, Delta 100.

This sculpture is simply titled "Dancers." It's at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Denver, Colorado.
I used a 55mm lens in order to get the whole thing in the frame.
A newspaper clipping from Detroit's East Side Shopper dated Wednesday, July 2. 1958. I still have this newspaper clipping. Since this photo was taken in 1958, it was probably made with a 4x5 press...
I shoot Delta 100 in 4x5 and soup it in Ilford DD-X. I'm very happy with the results I'm getting.
I use the Fuji C 300/8.5 for a long lens. I find it very versatile. It's small, light, and bright enough on the ground glass for my aging eyes.
Here's a landscape taken with it.

Here is...
Here is a photo of some windows. Even soul-less glass boxes can be attractive if you look at them right.

It sounds like you needed a little front tilt.
I scraped these instructions from a LFPF post years ago. I have the filters but have never tried the technique. I wish I knew who should get the credit for it.
This is Moffat Station. Denver's oldest train station.

Shen Hao PTB 4x5 SSXL 80/4.5 Delta 100.
This! I stuck with PSCS6. It meets my needs and no monthly fee.
Here is one from Cherry Creek State Park.

Either you guys are way over-thinking this or I'm a simpleton. I scan my b&w negatives on an Epson 4990 into an RGB tiff file. Then I open the file in Photoshop and convert to b&w using Silver Efex...

After a few minutes on the wayback machine I found this:
And this:
If Google didn't answer your question try looking up www.polaroid.com on the wayback machine. You can find the full specs there.
And try to grow a sense of humor. I find life is much less stressful...
It helps to make a paper template for composing. I used black construction paper for mine.
Here is another shot with the 80mm SSXL with no CF. I spent a lot of time in Photoshop trying to correct the falloff and didn't fully succeed. That's too bad, it's a beautiful shot marred by falloff....
Yes, Bob. I know my CF isn't correct for the 55mm Apo-Grandagon but it's much better than no CF. And I can't justify the cost of two center filters.
Here is a shot with the 55mm/4.5 Apo-grandagon with the CF.

Here is a shot with the 80mm SSXL without the CF. The falloff, while mild, is still annoying.

I found trying to correct fall-off in Photoshop to be too much work. My Photoshop skills are such that the less work I have to do in Photoshop the better. I bought an expensive Schneider IIIB (?)...
I don't know if I posted this one before so here it is.

Copal 3 shutters were fitted with two different spacer rings - a thin one and a thick one. Chances are you have the thin spacer ring and need the thick one. You can either acquire the proper spacer...
Don't overlook the Caltar lenses. They're every bit as good as their Schneider and Rodenstock cousins and usually sell for less.
The lens charts on the home page show the filter size for most lenses.

Here are a couple more shots for comparison.
These two were shot at 55mm.

These two were shot with the 75mm lens.

I hope that helps. For what it's worth, I like...
