    Re: Insects Anyone ?

    Thanks for the nice comments. Insanity can be amusing, in my case it's purely hysterical.

    Ignorance is bliss and I ever strive for nirvana. There's nothing worse for creativity than learning how...

    Re: Why Aren't There More 4x5 Reflex Cameras?

    I do most of my shooting with Graflex RBs (4x5 and 3x4) these days. The biggest disadvantage is their size and weight. Other than that I love them.

    That's your ticket right there. Unscrew the three screws and try to turn the disc one full rotation clockwise. This will add some tension and keep the screw-holes lined up (sometimes they are not...

    If you have a dial meter (not digital) and a ruler you can accurately get the bellows extension factor without using any math. It's what I do for all my macro work.

    That really depends on your expectations. The nice thing about LF is that you are not as likely to make the same type of enlargements you would with a mini-cam. So whereas 1/150 might be necassary to...

  29. Re: Is it ok to use macro lens for non-macro works?

    It's based on Sinar components. Sinar standards and then a custom rail and bellows. Lately I've been experimenting with something more portable but I just haven't had the time to see it through.
