Paul,
Having looked at the link, I am still going for the ringlight with either barndoors or snoot type control of spill, or perhaps a softbox with similar spi ll control with barndoors/black...

Hi Paul,
I haven't seen the photos, but from your description "There are absolutely no cast shadows" & "The light seems to come perpendicularly to the lens, from all around the subject, but with...
Hi Bob
There may be some useful info here for you on 6x9 and LF digital and digital printing.

Kind regards
Matt,
I think Steve Grimes also makes an adapter which works like the Schneider.

Hi Matt
I haven't bought mine yet, but I believe they are available at B&H and Calumet, probably at Robert White too.
Love that quote! ;-)

John,
Thank you for your answer. I imagined that this would be the case, but I wasn't certain as I haven't used this combination before. It is now clear.
Kind regards
Just had another thought. How does using this combo effect bellows draw? Would 1:1 using the 80mm be 160mm of draw?

Hi all,
I wish to use the Schneider adapter ring (product number #92-056002) which will allow me to use my Nikkor 80 or 135mm enlarging lenses with a Copal #1 shutter for macro work.

No worries Jorge. Let's call it a mis-understanding and leave it at that. No offence taken and none intended.
Perhaps if you're ever in Australia we can share one of those Fosters.

Jorge,
Thank you for your replies. As you say this could go round and round. I also agree with you that this has got slightly off the topic, although it is about LF negatives/transparencies...
Hi Jorge,
Well, didn't I tell you we'd agree to disagree. It's nice you are so passionate about your traditonal printing methods and prepared to stick up for the old way of producing prints -...
Hi Jorge
No need for apologies, it is your right to disagree with me and this is what makes this LF forum so interesting and informative. I think we will probably end up agreeing to disagree in...
Brian, as you were obviously referring to my post, here is my response;

Well,...
Jeffrey,
Welcome to the Ebony club, you will enjoy your camera better each time you use it. I have the 45S and it is superb, as you say, the movements are truly amazing. Unfortunately due to...
Hi J Norman
I have always printed B&W traditionally until fairly recently when I started to print some 13"x19" black & white prints using the Epson 1290. In comparing the digital prints with...
This looks remarkably like a troll to me, ("would need a separate tank to regulate the air in the bellows" & "waterproofing everything would help"), but if the poster is serious which I doubt, it...
Hi Hank,
I have used the Sinar system for professional studio and location work for many years and although I cannot comment on the cameras you have listed, but I can comment on the Ebony 45S...
That's not relevant to my question Dan.
See my last reply, ten posts above:
[snip]. . . .I'm sorry, but I think some of you are misunderstanding my question. In my original question I asked;...
Hi Michael,
I use the Ebony 45S with the universal bellows and I find that the Nikkor 65mm f4 works fine with these bellows and the IC runs out before the bellows does. If I was going wider I...
Hi Ellis,
I enjoyed visiting your site and congratualtions on designing and implementing a easily navigated and interesting site. I looked at it with IE v5.01 and Netscape v4.6 on a Mac G3/56k...
This photographer (Frank Grisdale), is doing some interesting "artistic" things with digital capture:

Erik,
If you are doing photography commercially with this as your main source of income then go digital all the way - forget traditional work, you will be left behind your contemparies.
If...
Yes Andy, I agree that the initial cost will probably be quite high, but I know that I have spent thousands of dollars on good quality LF gear and equipment to output my images to prints, as well...
I'm sorry, but I think some of you are misunderstanding my question. In my original question I asked; "I'm wondering what you all think of this concept and whether this is what the future holds...
Thanks for all the comments,
I agree with Bill's & Howard's assessments and from my own research I also believe that a sturdy, portable digital back for 6x9/4x5 (without cables, laptops, etc) is...
Hi Bill,
Yes I agree with your sentiments. I think that the time frame is probably about right too.
You say; " . . .it seems most of the chip makers are putting their recources in the larger...
Pat and others,
I didn't mean to encourage comments on the man's actual photography ability or technique and I think that whether we like his photographs or whether the quality (at this early...
Thanks Joe, you may be on to something - perhaps the question should be re-phrased:
Is this a glimpse of the future for LF "FILM" or the way in which we will record our images?
Although I...
Hi all,
I just had a look at Stephen Johnson's site about his project to digitally photograph the US national parks - 'With a New Eye'. What makes this unique is that he is using 4x5 digital...
Thanks to everyone for your replies and it would seem the Harrison tent gets the most votes.
Walter, thanks for the Oz contact addresses.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a good quality, lightweight, compact film changing tent/bag to replace my very old film changing bag. I want it mainly for field work and for up to 4x5 use. Any...
I think this could be called a "natural" embarrassing moment. I was shooting in Borneo for a travel company and was asked to visit one of the nature reserves for orphaned orang-utans and...
Tony,
It might be best to ask Sr, Sivestri that one, I didn't design the loupe, I just enjoy using it, but if tilting your 'straight' loupe works for you - good luck!
Kind regards

Hi Emil,
An interesting question and I think that we as photographers are more concerned about sharpness than our viewers are. I have seen people (non-photographers) commenting favourably on...
Thanks for all your responses,
The consensus seems to be that it is worth using for portraits or subjects where the "softness" will help the subject or at least not detract from it.
It sounds...
Brian,
I got mine through eBay (there were only 2 bids) from a company in Canada called CanPhoto. It is brand new, so I got a good price at US$60 and saved quite a bit from the new prices I...
Hi all,
I would like any user comments on Ilford XP2 Super C41 chromagenic film. I know this film is not available in 4x5 but I was wondering if anyone has used this in 120?
It is supposed to...
Hi all,
I have just received a new Silvestri 6x Tilting loupe. Having looked around for a good loupe for some time and tried out quite a few as well, I must say this is truly a great loupe.

Bravo Walter! Well said, and I agree with your sentiments.
