    Re: Sunrise in Yosemite

    November 2005, early morning, just after sunrise. On the 4x5 slide you can count the ice "droplets" on each blade of the tall grass in front...Very standard composition I know, but no-one that sees...
  2. Re: Arca 171 wide angle bellows...leather vs synthetic

    I use the leather WA bellows with a 210 often, but like john pointed out, not much movement.

    I enjoy the leather much more than the synthetic, simply because they never need to be pulled "out of...

    Re: Why Velvia 50 was and is so well liked?

    A film salesman once told me about a university study on "human color memory". Basically if you are shown a color swatch, and asked 10 minutes later to pick it out of 1000 similar swatches, you'll...
  6. Re: Mysterious Vortex caught on film in Sedona, AZ !!

    Hi Daniel

    This is the first time I noticed it. I do not need someone else's scanner - I just use someone else's software (Canon's) and the results look normal. So it's not h/w related.

    Dave,...
  7. Strange Histogram in Silverfast (was Mysterious Vortex caught on film in Sedona, AZ)

    Thanks George and Daniel for trying, but I' afraid you missed my point. Guess my corny title didn't help, huh ?

    Statistically, looking at a naturally, evenly lit scene, with such a wide filed of...
  8. Mysterious Vortex caught on film in Sedona, AZ !!

    Or at least that's the closest I can come to explaining this bizarre spiky histogram. This is straight out of my Canon 9950, which BTW is regularly IT8 color calibrated. This is Fuji Provia but...

    Re: Best Scanning Resolution?

    I typically stick with 600 dpi until I'm sure I nailed the "exposure"; then I (mostly) rescan at 1200 with the same settings.

    If I absolutely love the image and want to print very large, I scan...

  13. Re: strengths/weaknesses of Arca Swiss Field and Ebony 45SU?

    Funny; I have both the AS 4x5 and the EOS3. The first for about 2 years, the second for it seems like 6. I find the EOS3 very transparent, much easier than wifey's digital rebel thingy. The two...

    Re: Silverfast Multi-Exposure

    Not too much in a $2000 scanner, especially since the decent stepper motor would *cost* about $3.

    I have the ME upgrade on the Cannon 9950, and it does work wonders for noisy dark areas. At a...

    Re: Nikkor 65mm f4.5 ???

    I saw many recently on that auction site; just search for completed items. Isn't it f/4.0 though ?

    Last few got $400 (reserve not met), $530, $535, $635, $456. So they are all over.

    Re: LF Generation Gap ?

    Hehe, well, I'm stuck in the middle, in that I could date either the 45 yr old or the 18yr old.

    The fact that the 18yr old liked my camera better, makes it an easy choice !

    Re: Really Dumb Question re: QuickLoads...

    Use the 545i above the 545 if you can afford (a small $ difference). The 545i is lighter, as works better with the quickloads. Using the 545 I had the odd unexposed slide, using a 545i, none. I...
  23. NH: Programming film's dyn. range in Sekonic L-758

    Hi All

    I upgraded my meter for 4x5 to a L-758 - wicked ! One feature I'm eager to exploit is the auto warning if you exceed the film's (or sensor's) dynamic range, or clipping points. Up to 3...
