Thank you all for the helpful information! Sounds like a solid lens. Yea, i considered the M 300mm, but i would prefer something a bit longer and without the tophat/bellows extension issues. And im...

Hello all,

I'm looking for a telephoto to use on my Wista VX. I've been researching and have narrowed it down to the Nikkor-T 360mm f/8. Just curious to hear opinions and feedback on lens...

Mark, I would be shooting vertically for every composition. And say I was able to adjust the project to accomodate say a 20' tall by 10' wide backdrop. Would that be more probable?

Thank you guys...

Thank you Mark! I will definitely check out the site. And I need the backdrop that large because of the subject matter that is going to be in front of it. I'm most likely going to be shooting it with...

Hello all,

I'm in the beginning stages of planning out a photo project. It's going to require a huge backdrop that I can relatively easily transport and set up in obscure locations. I'm thinking...

Hello all,

Friday October 5th will be the opening night of an exhibit that I put together. Featuring three Phoenix based traditional photographers. The exhibit will showcase a wide range of...

Haha, it's a project involving them as raw transparencies. Too complicated to explain through text :) If I'm able to do it, I will be sure to start a thread showing what I did and how I did it. Thank...

So just in case people are curious. Fuji is not accepting 11x14 orders anymore. And Kodak is discontinuing e6 film. Jeff at Badger said I may still be able to make a Kodak order, but the last time he...

Thank you all very much! I'm going to call Jeff right now.

Hello all,

I am in the beginning stages of planning a project that will require 11x14 color transparency film. I thought I would ask to see if anyone has any information regarding 11x14 color...

Thank you, the source that I used for serial numbers must have been incorrect.

Thank you all. And yes it's a 67mm filter, Rodenstock Grandagon MC 65mm f4.5. It was made in 1984, serial number 10235800.

Bob Salomon, given that it is an MC but is not an N, could I still use...

My lens does use a 67mm filter and it has not been modified.

Thank you both for your help.

Hey,

I've got a rodenstock grandagon mc 65mm f4.5 (67mm thread). I was just wondering what center filter is recommended for this lens?

Thank you all greatly for your help

Haha touche, mon bon homme

but seriously, I have all the stuff you will need for retouching

"I am also interested in retouching, how do I go about doing that?"

Talk to me fool

Okay, so I'm debating between the the Nikkor 65mm f4 and the Sinaron-W MC 65mm f4.5.

Between the two, which one do you guys recommend?

Thanks again for all your help!

Wow, that Nikkor is pretty popular. What does that typically sell for used? Thanks again for all responses, I'm taking everyones opinion into consideration.

I will definitely take the image circle aspect into account regarding movements. Great point.

And I have actually been looking at the 65/5.6 Super Angulon. Would you suggest that I still need a...

Interesting, I will definitely continue looking into Nikkor. I have considered getting a 55mm. The only issue I am worried about is focusing and movements. Also, I have read that if you shoot a 65mm...

Very cool, thank you! And ya I kind of figured I'd get a lot of responses. I should specify that I would like either a Schneider, rodenstock or nikkor. With that being said, hopefully the responses...

Howdy,

So I'm looking for a 65mm lens for my Arca Swiss Field 4x5. I was just wondering if anybody has any specific lens suggestions for that focal length. I typically like Schneider lenses, but I...

I really like the idea of just cutting off the end of the darkslide, that sounds easiest and then I could just mask the ground glass so I can compose in the square.

My question is, will light go...

Thank you all! The only reason that I don't want to just crop in the darkroom is because I would like to be able to compose in the square format. With that being said, just making a dark slide with a...

Hello All,

I have an Arca Swiss Field 4x5. I want to start making square exposures (4x4") using a large format view camera. I made a mask out of matte board with a 4x4" opening, and taped the...

You may want to check out Arca Swiss.

badgergraphic.com sells numerous models as well as accessories.

Hello,

I am thinking about visiting Grand Teton National Park this winter. I would probably go toward the end of December.

I was wondering if anybody has any advice to lend on what it is like...

Thank you all. Your advice is very helpful. My next size lens is a 135mm. I have thought about the image circle issue as well, and my conclusion was that with such a wide lens I would not be using...

Which is a better focal length for wide angle landscape work, a 65mm or a 75mm lens?

Is there a noticeable difference between the two sizes?

Thank you,
Kyle

I am comparing Fomapan 100 4x5 and Ilford Delta 100 4x5.

I was wondering if anyone has any input on which is a better film for nature photography.

Thank you!

I was just wondering if there is anywhere to buy 4x5 black and white film in bulk.

Like around 700 sheets.

Thank you greatly for your help!

As many people have pointed out there are numerous celebs that create some medium of art work and I don't have any problem with it, in fact I think it is great. The only reason I posted this in the...

Hi Jay,

I'm sorry if I am coming across as financially driven. I personally do not regard financial success as the top priority. But I do think recognition is important. The way that I feel is...

Ya like I said before I don't have any problem with him or any other musician making photographs. Good for him, that is great. I just do not think his work deserves the attention it is and will...

Sorry if that bothered you. I will fix it.

I agree with you Frank.

It's just depressing that it all boils down to marketing and appearances, and the quality of work does not matter like it should.

I couldn't care less what celebs are doing, that's not what bothers me.

I guess I just don't feel the same way as you do.

Maybe I'm just too pessimistic.

Ya I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with having multiple talents. And to be perfectly honest if I saw that article about Moby and if I thought the images were well done I could care less...

Ya I mostly agree with what you guys are saying. I just wanted to make it clear that I dont think there is anything wrong with musicians making photographs. And if a celebrity is creating art of some...

I was just reading on the British Journal of Photography that the musician Moby has created a major photobook of his photography. The BJP website had a few images that he made, and to be perfectly...
