The more unlimited my editions are, the better for me.
Bill, you're speaking about photography "under all color temps" in the field etc. Experience is your best bet - after all, the temps are not so impredictable. You can learn with your MF format to...
Bill, get it right - if you want 2 meters be exactly the same in their measuring buy two identic meters. It's as simple as that.
You got it , at last.
Actually Bill, your problem is easily solvable. Buy a second Sekonic meter and you'll be in the heaven you're looking for.
Sometimes it's called an umbrella.
What does he want to photograph? The moon? The petroglyphs in the moonlight? Both? A full moon, a quarter moon?
Hypered film is used for very long star skies exposures (tens of minutes). What's his problem exactly? Using normal films (100 - 400 ASA) with exposure up to 2 minutes is no problem with moonlight.
Forget the card board box. It gives off plenty of paper dust.
I have home made an adapter to use Wista (Linhof) lens boards on my 6x9 Arca Swiss lens board. Some work to do but it works.
Ellis, forget the hat trick. I just measured my computer calculated lens shade for the 90mm Schneider I have with the 617S. The inner rectangular dimension of the lens shade is exactly 137 x 49 mm....
The distance scale is as accurate as it can be. No problem there. The same for the hyperfocal depth of focus scale. You can easily see it for yourself with a test - put a ground glass (even a paper...
Eric, that's exactly my setup too, used for 800mm and 600mm lenses...
No, JC, they are surely not different lenses. I think it could have a logical reason - 60 mm for 24x36 and 30x30, 80 mm for 44x44 and 60x60 and 113 mm for 60x90. ??
Lars, in my opinion you'd have better to use a second tripod - it can be a real cheapy, a light one. Weightwise you'll be better off and the stability is far, far greater - you can beat even heavy...
That's what photo stock agencies want - books, magazines, journals etc. pictures are made from slides.
You're welcome!
The 47 mm Digitar has image circle 113 mm (the 80 mm given on the Schneider site is a typo - go to their pdf digital brochure and you find the correct value). Optically the digitars are better even...
As you describe it the construction is surely intentionally made of two pieces - the stiffer part makes sagging more difficult. And glueing two pieces together is in no way a bad sign - it's just...
Leave it in sun.
CXC, google out met.no in English and you will get all the data you want to know about weather - scientifically.
Oh, I forgot to mention - Sunndal is just what you like (the architecture). Once I was making a portfolio with different windows you can see on houses there. It's not known by many turist as they go...
CXC, if you can don't hesitate to go mid -August to mid September. August is the month for connaisseur turists unlike July which is for the foreign turists. The weather is often bad for long periods...
Are you sure you got right the month?? If such is the case I strongly suggest one place you should not miss - under your umbrella... (especially going through Dovrefjell on your way to Trondheim.)...
Beside 35 mm that I mainly shoot for stock agencies I use a lot 120 roll film. Cameras for 6x9 cm include Arca Swiss, Fuji, Mamiya and home made ones with lenses going from 50 mm to 600mm. Then...
Maybe I miss something but I don't see any practical difference between pushing a Copal lever manually and pushing this device manually... I have many handheld cameras that I use with lenses in Copal...
Actually, the digital cameras market is, paradoxally, good for the LF market as well. The more amateurs get involved in photography (and their number is growing thanks to the digital cameras) the...
You're right Jeff, Dave's citation was taken from Parmet's page. I also realised it when I searched for it. Never mind. As far as I'm concerned it's much easier for me to trust the tests rather than...
I really don't see anything unfortunate on the fact that x ray machines for hand baggage were tested by professionals from photography industry and were declared safe in their limits. Quite the...
Good, Jeff, that's one part of Dave's citation but it doesn't make things better, I'm affraid. It's the first part of his citation where it says "...screeners may only inspect the film manually,...
Jeff, it starts to be interesting from the factual point of view (finally). According to the text cited by Dave (it's not the actual text of the federal regulations but a copied text from a web site)...
"every other airport I have been through in the world has used the swabbing machines to inspect boxes of sheet film" (Chris). I wonder if you have ever been to London airports - there they won't...
Dave, the CTX 5000 airport security scanners for checked baggage are high dose scanneres that do dammage film. I think it was clear we're speaking here carry-on film. In case your film went through...
You see Dave, it's actually not such a great advantage the rules you cite (and good for you that you have some laws on your side) - what does it help in many cases if you avoid one machine at your...
Dave, the fact that once you had your film ruined by the x ray machine is irrelevant as you don't indicate any circumstances of the case. And so much was written about the safety of these machines...
Chris, I'm very surprised that you didn't know that the x ray machine doesn't dammage the film. So much was written about it. Your reaction was that of a beginner traveler or a beginner photographer....
You would get more or less the same reading only if your measured a surface with the same reflectance as that to which your incident meter is adjusted.
The camera is intriguing no doubt about it. Some details of the description even more - what are those "Carl Zeiss" lenses it can accept?? But for someone who knows what he wants and it corresponds...
Jan, if there is a film that has bright future it's just the 120 format! This format has better quality pictures than 36mm (eventually replaced by the digital for a majority of amateurs, not all) and...
