    Re: Lens hoods advice

    Oh, oh - slow down, please. Where do you have that from? Surely not from an experience. Do you realise it is not correct, neither for the length nor for the difference made?

    Re: matte box shade anyone?

    I know what lens shades do.

    Bob,
    I know how a compendium lens shade looks.
    I suppose you did not perform the simple test I suggested that proves your lens shade geometrical concept is wrong. Never mind, it's easier just to...

    Re: 2 new 8x10 Tachiharas or Linhof 617

    The new Linhof 617 is not a rangefinder camera. It has a viewfinder (a very good one) and two options to focus - guess estimate or optional gg viewing/focusing at the beginning of a film roll.
