Thanks for the input. It seems rather difficult to determine which monitors are well suited to photography by reading the specs on most sites. I’d think a higher contrast ratio would be better,...

Hello,
It's been a while since I posted, but I have a question.
I just put together a new computer (PC) with the thought of doing more Photoshop. I'm still using my old monitor which is a 17"...

I hear thick crust Deardorffs are more stable with long lenses. Any truth to this?

So Eugene, I haven't been around much lately. Did you get rid of your beloved Ebony for a Tachihara?

Eugene,

Your using a *GASP* Ebony after all the posts I've read since I've started coming here about your Toyo and how much you like it and recomend it? I'm in shock! Poor little rejected Toyo...

<<I have had more fun with this silly wooden box in the last few weeks than with all my high tech gear in the last few years.>>

Paul,

I can sure relate. There's something very satisfying about...

Hey Paul,

<<I have only tried these lenses with black and white film, but I was told that I would need to use the center filter on even the 110mm with color transparency film, is this incorrect?<<...

Hi Paul,

I'm a bit confused as to what it is your looking for. By spot filter do you mean center filter? If so all 3 lenses you list use 67mm center filters not 95mm. Also as to center filters on...

The difference between the RW45 and SV45 is about $1k+. I would Imagine that's the biggest difference for many and would be the same for a 5x7 or 8x10.

>>The camera shown in http://gallery.consumerreview.com/pcphoto/photos/58489.jpg is the old 'Field' model<<

You sure Tom? I don't see any tilt on the back of that one.

BTW, has anyone seen a Misura and is sure there's no back movements at all or is everyone working on hearsay (myself included)?

That might be true Frank, but Aprox. $3500-3800 for the Misura for a beginners camera?

Hi Guys,

CJ are you talking about the "field" that comes with the 6x9 front and 4x5 back, but otherwise is a standard monorail and that has been out for some time or the new Arca-Swiss Misura 4x5?...

That could very well be the case Tim. I was just commenting on Jason's statement that "B&H is way overpriced on all LF stuff". I have no interest in B & H but I hate to see anyone get a bad rap where...

Jason,

I can relate to being on a budget and buying used. I would also agree that buying on ebay or from a private party can bring a better deal than from a company such as B & H which isn't...

<<Granted, B&H is way overpriced on all LF stuff<<

Since when? Are you talking about used items? If so I'm not sure. But if it's new stock, I've seen some items slightly less than other stores...

So to cut to the chase a bit. Ken is it exactly like the Toho FC-45X?

Looks to me as if Badger is selling the Toho 4x5 with a Badger brand lable for much less than the Toho brand. Looks like a sweet deal. Anyone have any details?

I'd agree that it will most likely not cause a problem. But if it was me and I wasn't told before I purchased that the bellows were wrinkled and the price didn't reflect this, I'd return it and look...

I've not owned a Technika so I can't comment as to if it's more rigid or not. But, my Toyo 45AX doesn't move at all when in use so I'm not sure as to why more rigidity would be needed. Personally I...

Yep I saw it wasn't US. I just didn't know there was a LF Nikon site anywhere. And yep Carey Bird does have some great info on Nikon.

Wow I had always heard there was no such site.... Is it new?

My wife purchased for me both View Camera and Camera Arts from Amazon.com. There doesn't seem to be any six digit numbers on the labels. I e-mailed the first month and recived the number for that...

That's pretty cool. I use a Toyo AX without levels and have been using a level that is meant to hang on a line. It's all a bit inconvenient, having to remove it from my bag and set it on different...

I first became aware of Roman Loranc's work from the portfolio in the Sept/Oct 2002 issue of View Camera. I must say I was very impressed. I also got a kick out of the comment that Roman shoots "the...

I'm not sure I would say that mastering Photoshop is any less of an accomplishment than mastering a wet darkroom would be. I do think that as much time as a lot of us spend in front of a computer in...

Henry,

I saw that web site also and I'm pretty sure that's not the same David Parker. The David Parker that Cesar was refering to is from the UK and he does B & W landscapes.

I had a problem (light leaks) with one that I purchased last year. I called Kodak and they send me another holder right away, after I returned the old one. I had posted about this on photo.net. With...

I would have thought that these would be lower in price considering they don't have back movements. Or is that not the case?

I'm afraid I can't be a big help, but I do have the next size up the 1370M. While I do like the head, it is a bit grabby and I've read of others that have stated the same. I'm not sure how tight...

I'm not sure how much is the software and how much the server. But it sure responds fast. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzooommm.... :-)

I Just wanted to say how nice it was to see photographs from Quan-Tuan Luong's national parks project in the September/October issue of View Camera. The images were very nice and what a wonderful...

Congrats!!! It really looks wonderful and it's so fast. Great Job!!!

Domenico, I?m not trying to say your wrong to limit your editions. But it does sound a lot like the argument painters and other artists used to make to say photography wasn?t art, because it could...

OK, OK if EVERYONE else is going to post on this one I guess I don't want to be left out. I'm 44, started photography in college with a Nikon FM. I needed a major and Photography sounded fun. I had...

I would second what has been said. Some things are a lot cheaper at RW some things are not. As for the Schneider Symmar APO 120/f5.6 as stated by another poster it's doesn't have very much coverage...

Paul. I hope you know I was just kidding about that camera snob comment. I was just kidding. I don't think that. =)

I was just wondering, there's a new lens listed on Badger's site. it's a Cooke P rotrait PS945 229mm/4.5. I was wondering what's so special about it to make it s ell for the OY MY GOD price of...

Paul Owen is a camera snob!

J/K Paul ;-)
