I use both the 65mm and the 90mm versions of this camera and like them quite a bit. There's a lot on them in the medium-format archived threads on photo.net (under "Fuji rangefinders") and one guy...

Pete, at least in the US this kind of titling isn't uncommon. There was a very good little book of essays on Weston called "EW 100" published on the 100th anniversary of his birth, and I also know...

Wow! This is VERY big (and good) news! Thanks for posting it, Bill; I'll be eager to hear users' reports....

In that last sentence above I meant "whichever lens filter size"--82, 86, 95, etc.--not the size of the square filters you want to use.

Since you asked about systems "such as Cokin" I'll note that many users here have had good experience with Hitech and Lee (which I highly recommend). Whichever holder you get, you may want to see...

Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that the leg locks on Gitzo's CF tripods are superior to the leg locks on their older tripods. Like many others, I've grunted and struggled with the locks on...

It was my understanding that the check I wrote on April 15 went entirely to the missile defense program, not to management of public lands.

At the risk of getting crucified, let me say that I actually think the fees at US national parks are too LOW. While it's nice to say that every American should contribute equally to the tab for...

Does the MH2000 (and Bob, the 3000) have normal (single axis) pan capability? One of the large double-ball heads I played with recently at a store--I thought it was the 2000--didn't have...

Wayne,

If the photos are just going to be used by your friend for submission to a committee or panel of judges or client, I'd shoot 35mm. The photos just have to show what the place looks like,...

Don't know if your friend is an entrepreneur, but I suspect that (in light of the cost of sheet film, especially color, and the realities of sample variances among cameras and holders) a lot of us...

Oh foolish Wayne, you made the same mistake Nikon and Canon did when they named their so-called "PC" shift lenses. While they and about 100 percent of their buyers assumed "PC" meant "Perspective...

Hi Clark,

I didn't know whether to put this here or with your next question (the one about the Horseman 450), but if you can have only two lenses, a 180 and a 210 are awfully similar in field of...

'Course, you gotta subtract the 10%, meaning that "37mm" above should read 33 or 34mm, and "75mm" should read 66 or 68mm.... oops.

............

VERY roughly, I generally divide by three and subtract 10% to go from 4x5 to 35mm. Thus a 90 would equal about a 27mm and a 110 would equal about a 37mm.

Most manufacturers double 35mm focal...

I heard once that the formula is something like each 100mm of focal length = about 1mm of moon on film; thus a 1200mm lens would give you a moon that is 1.2cm in diameter (does this match your...

I should add that (unlike rear vs. front tilts and swings) rear shift doesn't let you do anything that front shift doesn't do; it's exactly the same effect. Technically, I suppose, rear shift moves...

Re: question #1, I'm not sure what you mean by "This feature would enable me to take panoramas on 4x5 without lens movement." Probably half of all view cameras sold have rear shift (and almost all ...
