Yes into it now, but by no means an expert :)
First off, you are comparing apples and oranges. The P21+ is a crop sensor 18MP back and the Aptus 22 is a 22MP full-frame sensor camera.

Thanks Ted!
It is actually to arrange to get in as an educational group. I might be willing to look into it further if a group is interested. The biggest issue is the rangers that are in charge...

Lots of AWESOME images here, love seeing them all!
Bodie is absolutely one of my favorite places to photograph. Here are a few of mine from over the years, taken with either 35mm, MF or 4x5 as...
Also in shock... My condolences.
I never met Ted in person either, but we exchanged many telephone and email conversations, and discussed doing workshops together. He was a tremendous asset to...
Jack will respond ;)
First off, I will go solidly on record that the Chamonix is NOT the "equal" of the A/S with Orbix, nor is it really the "equal" of the Ebony 45 SU. As I wrote in the original...
Probably the 110
I think Astia is an excellent choice, especially if you scan and print digitally. The added latitude is always welcome, and the softer color palette can be pumped up easily in post processing.
I just ordered mine: I went with the 3.2's and basic 2G RAM and 500G drive, to which I'll add 8G aftermarket Apple-Qualified RAM purchased 3rd party ($400 for 4x2G paired sticks). For drives, I also...
I'd definitely TRY the 110 before letting go of your 90 XL --- 110's are readily available, 90 XL's harder to come by...
Ted answered the pricing question.
As for format, all of the backs capture roughly 3" x 4" (72mm x 96mm IIRC). Anyway, I would say the regular 6K is equivalent to a perfectly captured sheet of...
Yes, assuming "best film possible" is a color emulsion too :D But to be clear, I'm referring to the Super 6K HR version (or 8K), not the 4K.
No need to hide, just get a bit more educated... Leica M glass is optimized to be its sharpest at relatively close reportage shooting distances, like 1.5 meters for the 35's. Also, they are...
The M8 sensor does not have an AA filter in in front of it, and the comparable Nikon and Canon sensors do --- makes a HUGE difference in ability to print large with clarity. Lenses of course also...
totally agree Frank --- it's why I still shoot with 4x5 :) (And FWIW, I still own the Chamonix --- I think we had a bet?)
Bottom line is the M8 is about like quality drum-scanned 2-1/4. ...
I can print the M8 files to 16x24 and they look excellent. With digital, you don't need SND filters ;) A technique we taught in Yosemite was digital blending for that very purpose. The image above...
This shot was done with the M8 and 28 Asph on our Yosemite workshop (click for bigger):

:D,
I was bidding on one, then saw a great Buy-it-now on another, so I bought it, then ended up winning the other auction so ended up with two ;)
Yes, we have a workshop and Leica is sponsoring...
You can cover a lot of territory with a 110 and a 210...
I have trimmed significantly to what I use regularly enough to justify keeping: My current kit is 75 SA, 110XL, 150 APO S, 150 G-Claron...
I have owned all 3. In a nutshell, they are all great. However, the Nikkor M's IC is pretty limited and it just covers 8x10 with a few mm to spare. Because of that, I went with the Fuji 300C. ...
I think you'll think they were worth the wait when they arrive :D
The opposite for me... I liked the 110 so much I hunted down an 80. Didn't like it, sold it. Everybody was raving about it, so I bought another one. Didn't care for it either, sold it again. Now...
PS: My Polaroid holder is an older metal one, and it fits/works just fine on the Cham!
My camera is totally stock, so the extension is whatever the manufacturer says it is. Knowing everybody overanalyzes what you say on a forum, I should never have said "About 450" --- my stupid. ...
Hi Don:
You misunderstood --- that was my 305 at full extension which focuses to about 5 feet! The camera has about 450mm of bellows.
Hi Matus:
I actually mentioned that in my review.... The way the front is configured, you can lock the tilt at zero and add rise or fall as needed. Once height is adjusted, there's enough...
I am sure it is not as precise as a Linhof Tech as it is mostly friction locks. However, it produces great images ;)
Hugo can answer wait times. No 6x9 at this time that I know of.

Hi Rob:
I can't say for certain as I don't own any Horseman backs. But it is supposed to be fully graflock compatible...
Cheers,
I have received a question on the GG dimensions... FOr those that want to order an aftermarket GG, the stock one is 4.0" x 5.0" with 3/16ths corner clips.
I had to move several of my online images and this included my original set of the Chamonix 4x5. I just now realized the move has rendered the image links in my Chamonix post here useless now for...
Totally different cameras to use, both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Toyo: Geared rise and focus on both standards, quick to set up. Limited to ~ 300mm extension with stock sliding base...
Hi Asher:
Sunrise tomorrow in LA will be at approximately 06:35 and 96.4 degrees magnetic heading. By 08:00, the sun will be at a 15 degree azimuth and at 109.6 degrees magnetic. 10:00 you have a...
3 hours and 40 minutes from my driveway to that view if I stop for gas and a soda on the way. But as much as that sounds like an advantage, it can also be a curse.
:D,
Thanks Sam, thanks Eric!
The shot of El Cap with snow was done in 98 I think, and back then I was shooting a Technikardan 4x5. The one from a few weeks ago was done on my Yosemite workshop. Since...
I like Valley View before/at sunrise. Took this one about two weeks ago (click on the thumb for a full view):

Great choices :D
If you want to see smooth tonal gradation and awesome D-Max, you need to see a well printed B&W done with Epson K3 on the new Harman FB Gloss... If you read the last few pages of the "Digital Silver...
Re the dither pattern on the 3800 versus earlier version Epson printers. It is definitely better, but I agree you won't see that difference with your naked eye. However, if you do loupe the print,...
My two current tripods are 2x and 3x series CF Gitzos. While they've supported more weight than advertised in the past, Gitzo "updated" the CF specs to higher weights when they switched to the new...
