  2. Re: Sangre de Cristo Mountains Colorado 2017

    Lots of thunderstorms in northern NM and southern CO for the next couple of days. If you can dodge them, the clouds should be spectacular.

    Re: Ideal lens set for a 4x5 field camera

    I preferred a 135mm over the 150; slightly wide normal lenses. Maybe a 90mm, 135mm and a 210mm to go with what you have.
  7. Re: What is the best time of year to photograph in Santa Fe New Mexico?

    Spring time the winds start blowing and blowing and blowing. We can get 15 to 50 mph winds throughout April and May, strong enough to blow a 4x5 over. And the wind stirs up dust that clogs up the...

    Really depends on what and where you're shooting; I've shot in SW FL and here in NM. For me, I could leave my 65mm on all day; a 75mm might have been better. When I shoot 35mm, I love my 24mm; on...

    Re: Omega D2 cone question

    The 135mm lens uses the shorter cone, 2 1/2" I think. The longer cone, 4 1/4" or something like that is for the 150mm lens. A 50mm-105mm uses the flat board. In addition to the different cones,...

    Since I have 65mm thru 240mm covered, I would like something in the 300 to 400mmT range for my Tachihara. Trouble is, I shoot mostly the 65mm or 90mm but I'm thinking a long tele would be nice.
