Sorry for late reply, I have concluded that it was film handling issue as with the same set up next batch of dozens of negative have
come relatively very clean with only few negative having one or...
I am attaching one more neg image for more info on this issue. As patterns of lines are baffling and not consistent.193935
Above is one corner of the Negative.
All scratches are at different places and of different length & style. There are no visible scratches on the negatives on both side. I have seen negative closely through good loupe. I think pre...
I have got this B/W negative developed in local trusted lab and it has got this strange black line in the negative that is baffling everyone.
This has happened in many negatives I got processed...
So nice to hear from you Bruce, I am trying to open your site but failed on Safari, Firefox and chrome.

Hi Bruce, I must be in hibernation or how else can I get this news so late.
Frankly, I was terribly busy all winter and till now, I did try to open you
site but failed and again got busy with...
I have been looking for perfect backpack for years. Last year I bought Backpackers P3 for my 4x5 and digital gear. Though it is best made backpack with modular design for large format camera and...
I am using X5 and right now I am trying to see if this is possible. If you try to scan 4X5 end to end using 120 holder, some part of 4X5 negative is over lapping on the edge of holder that is meant...
In India I have to pay duty on landed price i.e. Value+shipping+Insurance and duty for photographic goods is
around 35-37 % after including cess etc. This has made it difficult to purchase backpack...
I will rather be interested in panoramic version it could be 4.5 cm X 9/10 cm. we do not need to stick to film size.
This could be more affordable and technically possible. Mega pixel may add up...
Since I am using MPP VI 4X5 camera with 90 mm f4.5 Nikkor lens, I would contribute my two cents.
As MPP is technical camera, its is better then other field (read wooden or Light weight) cameras
in...
I wonder with such budget on offer why is there no definitive answer for a simple question. I know it not as easy though, but there could be clear understanding on it if a landscape photographer...
Thanks Ari,
I am aware that Manfrotto claims its load capacity at 5 Kg but I have seen lots of
photographers on this forum recommend this for even light weight Monorail,
and even 8x10 wooden...

Dear Valerio
You are right that finding good lab processing 4X5 anywhere is very difficult.
But if you are near New Delhi OR Bombay(Mumbai) you can definately get them
processed to your...
This might seems very strange to ask such question but I believe
that this must be having effect on landscape photographer vision
in visualising the final photo.:cool:

I would definately shoot the dunes in windy condition but only with my 5D Mark II that
too with rain protector cover for protecting it against sand and dust
as I love my LF camera and lenses...
I would definately shoot the dunes in windy condition but only with my 5D Mark II as
I love my LF camera and lenses too much to be exposed to such hostile condition.
Thanks to all of you for your invaluable advice.
But this is not all, I think more gems of wisdom and practicle experience can come out
of this discussion.
Stephane all advice from you are...
Hi,
I plan to visit Jaisalmer, Rajasthan (India). I want to shoot sand dunes there, specially in B/W. I use Ilford FP-4film for my 4X5 B/W.
Despite being very close to Rajasthan I have never...
Nice decision, as it takes time to get used to LF & contrary to advice that you are going to like the focal lenths equilent to smaller format prefered one more is not always true.
Learning with...
Or perhaps linhof film holder may work better than fedility.
Recieved bellows for my only LF camera from custom bellows, thanks to them I am still a LF shooter. great service, good price and superb quality.
First one they sent to me could not reach me, they...
There could be more movement that commercial photographers might have been using for making model look more beautiful.
I am sure what we do with flattering lighting for modeling can be achieved...
Only Singh Ray LB Polarizer with warming
Or
B/W circular Polariser with or without warming.
These are very expensive so invest once in the best filters,
I am Using my Sekonic L 408 for almost 10 years with no problem (three degree spot only). I am into large format photography for almost three year now.
Now I am learning the zone system. And for...
Bought one in pristine condition for $900 from ebay Eight months ago. If selling for
$600 or around, It's a very good deal. Though I go for one or two day hike weigth
never bother me. As when...
thanks Reich & Chy
I had asked for quote from camera bellows and they have replied very promptly.
they have quoted 83 ponds for replacement bellows. I am asking them for further
details....
Hi
I did a light check at night. And there is Light leak at the Lens end of the bellows.
It's really bad & I need to replace it very soon. Any suggestion about manufacturer ,
seller for...
Thanks Vaughn,
I will do the bellows light test in night. As for painted black surface. As lens board for
MPP is not availble readily so I made my lens board myself with aluminium. These are ...
Thanks DJ
I probably did not want to bite the bullet and purchase a new bellows.
But now I think thats the main thing I should do before anything elas.
In second and third image, it seems...
Hi,
I have just recieved my first developed batch of films and slide. These have strange Light leak pattern on them. Plz check the scans. I am not sure what caused it. Is it pin hole in camera...
I read it in B&h filter discription (Hoya circular glass filter ) circular polarizer that I works as UV filter as well. I wonder if that was right infornation. does it apply to all polarizer filter...
thanks for useful advice Jim, Glenn and Walter
what I get from these reply that you can get away with only Polarizer but it does not neccessarily work as UV.
As I have wide lens only I will...
I think I had missed this point somewhere about polarizer !
Is UV filter required after Putting Polarizer on your lens ? or Should I say do polarizer work as UV filter as well ?
I am ordering...

I am in similar situation , I am getting Nikkor 90mm F-4.5 for myself. Before buying it, I had only one doubt that I might find it hard to find good filter & shade system for it. I believed...
Hi
I have also jumped in this large sea of large format photography. I am afraid I will never be able to swim across to another format/medium ever. Still I am happy.
I have purchased this MPP...
Thanks Ron,
I still plan to buy sinar f2 along with linhof or replacing body only. That is why I am asking that how much these lenses & equipment (specially roll film back) will be useful with...
Thanks Devid
camera and lenses are in like new condition. As for cams I did not know of them when I saw these things. surely I had seen one or two there but could not guess what they were. there...
