Tuan, What breathtaking, evocative images! These go beyond equipment and technique into a connection with the land/environment/scene, and a vision that is non-formulaic. You have my utmost respect,...
Martin, Perhaps take the specifications from Armin, and perform some field tests? Remember, you can peek through the open corners of groundglass to visually check for vignetting. Do this free test...
Thanks interesting, I've always approached it from the other direction: a cost-effective, sturdy, entry-level camera, and using my money on the best glass that I could buy, i.e. the Schneider XL...
Thanks! This is a better neighborhood ;-) and continues to be a great resource to LF shooters everywhere. My gratitude to Quang-Tuan Luong and the rest of the team who helped make it happen. See you...
I use a Horseman 45LE and shoot 4x5. After sifting through the archives, I decid ed to buy the Lee FK100 filter holder as I already use Hi-Tech, Optiflex, and Le e 100x100mm filters. The FK100 can...
Advantages: no UV filter is needed, as the subject is only feet away. Someday our Quickloads will some with diposable lenses, no cleaning needed. Breathing on the lens with affect your tilt...
I second that Oy Vey from Steve and add a Texas yee haaaaaa! At last, a lens with virtually no DOF tables, either ;-) Paul
From experience, I'll line up with Ellis, Sandy & Wayne regarding the 58mm SA XL. It is a wonderful tool & I own one. Yet, I'd ask myself, what will I really shoot more -- exteriors or interiors?...
RIT is awesome, I earned my M.F.A. in Photography there. But, as in all things, budgets force a reality check. As an alternative to the top "academies", consider getting a degree at a State...
I shoot all 4x5 and agree, wide angle lenses distort exteriors; "normal" f.length lenses look best to my eye. I use a 150 SS XL and 90 SA XL -- even the 90 can be a bit much at the edges. However,...
Lukasz, Thanks for your response. Exactly what I needed to know. Tell me, do you use the center filter 3b for the 58 SA XL & shoot tranparency film? I can only imagine the access issues with a ...
I just wanted to add that I DID read the archives ;-) -Paul
What recessed lens board would you recommend for SA 58XL on a Horseman 45LE came ra? I shoot architecture, mostly exteriors, some interiors of large commercial s paces. If anyone has direct...
I have the same scanner and the same problem. Reality check: if you put emulsion down on the platen glass, you get a normally-oriented image. Think about it! (unless you shot through the film base...
I agree with Ellis. I use a Schneider 4X that is nice and bright -- and find the mag suitable for my work. Sometimes there are simple solutions: if your loupe barrel rotates, tape it? I live in...
If the lights are tungsten, or other low color temp source e.g. oil, try tungsten bounce light and tungsten film. Since you state that you are not experienced with studio lighting AND it seems that...
Let me share a recent exchange with S.K. Grimes (SK). I was contacting Mr. Grime s about some custom lens caps that I am ordering for my Schneider LF lenses when we got on the subject of Copal...
I am using the Speedotron 2405cx and find it excellent, although I use it for location lighting with the 202vf heads. Speedo gear is rugged and reliable (made in the USA) -- see you local rental...
Gotta love it! If you have a bigger camera, try the Contico large case -- only one drawback -- it's even CHEAPER! About $16 and also works for strobe gear. Simply line with foam. As with...
I had to LOL, I carry the carcass of an old Pentax 1 deg., just to have that dial and see the relationships -- the meter doesn't work other than the dial. I'm looking at a Sekonic L-608 or Gossen ...
I strongly recommend the center filter for the 90mm SA XL. (Unless you have the Cabernet Sauvignon and Photoshop :)) With enough of the proper vintage, you don't even need film...
IMHO, HiTech's Optiflex (0.3 mm dyed-through optical resin)are better than Lee polyester. I shoot on-location & have used both. HiTech is destributed by Visual Departures USA 1-800-628-2003. I...
Thank you all for sharing your results in detail; it is appreciated. Despite my bringing up an old topic, some interesting dialog was stimulated, which I enjoyed immensely, and hope it was...
I'm about to get a 4X5 Fuji Quickload back AND a Polaroid 545 pro back -- do I need them both, or can one back serve both purposes (using Quickloads and shooti ng Polaroids)?
Thanks, Paul
I am usually focus using hyperfocal distance in 35mm with my Nikkor 28PC lens wi th DOF to spare at f/16-f/22. Of course, in 35 mm, the procedure is simple: I ju st stop-down and look at the scale on...
The back cover of Camera Arts has a full page ad for the L-608; there is an introductory "offer" -- the $90 radio trigger module is available for $25. I shoot with strobes, so this appeals to me....
Thanks all! I ordered my bag bellows. I appreciate all your helpful input! Best, Paul
I am buying a Horseman 45 LE from Badger with a 90mm SA XL, for use in architect ural photography. I shoot mostly new institutional buildings; tall-ish one-stori es, with an ocassional 4 story...
Richard, I'm also new to MF, but I know of medium format users who have noticed a significant image brightness increase using a Beattie Intenscreen for their focusing screen. I just looked in the...
