If, as in my example, the subject is not at infinity, then focusing exactly is just as important at night as any time. In this instance, I waded out and put a flashlight on a rock. Shining a light or...

I developed a simple spreadsheet with column A a list of shutter speeds at iso 3200 & f/4. the next column shows an equivalent shutter speed at iso 100 & f/11. So at 3200 and f/4 you can find the...
Kirk,
In reading over the Cone site, it looks like you have to decide before hand which b&w tone and surface you want. Ain't cheap either. Don't know how much longer my aged 4000 will last. It...
I have just now retired my Epson 4000. It has an over heating problem which is not worth fixing. (I replaced it with a 4900 the price for which just dropped about
one-third.)
I have many years'...
I have done that with a Technikardan which, due to the way it folds up, has perhaps more shift than many cameras and its bellows is accommodating as well. But I have never seen any advantage to...
Gil,
All my favorite places have been mentioned (e.g., Navy Beach, Lundy Creek), but one obvious and one less visited are the Forest Service Visitors' Center and the Mono County park on the...
The thread about pens is useful and it raises this question: For signing a surface other than matte, what pencil works for you? I have tried a Stabilo Aquarellable 8008, but it is only fair. It's...
Viewpoint Photographic Arts Center was mostly LF in the beginning and still is to a large extent. But we don't discriminate!

Always two shows in our galleries...
If I am hiking: XL110, Fujinon 150 maybe, M200, M300, C450
Rolling case: XL90. Fujinon 150, Schneider 210, M300, M450
No one has mentioned the Technikardan probably because it is not too light. But it is sturdy and will use a 450mm (especially the Fujinon) well. Mine was in the USD2000's but now there way too...
This is a question about Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management. I scan 4x5 film and sometimes end up with up to, or even bigger than, 1 GB files. Obviously that needs as much memory as possible....
It seems the prior posts cover every thing, but I'll offer this summary. I used to be involved in homeowners' insurance years ago and have been a policy holder all along too.
Except the groups...
This observation is more along the lines of great(?) minds thinking alike. Many times making landscapes I have set up my camera on a worthy scene and then noticed trampled vegetation all around...
On my Epson 4000 I was trying to use some of the new papers like Moab Colorado Satine, but with Moab's profiles, but there was a strong color cast.
I already had Silverfast to run my scanner so I...
Gustavo, as to your original post: I love your camera and I have wondered about the same question and your solution. Galvins are rather rare these days I assume and of course Jim Galvin is gone and...
Ed,
My RV is a Itasca Navion (a Winnebago by another name) and it gets 15 to 20 miles/gal of diesel. Sprinter-based class B RVs can do somewhat better than that. There is plenty of headroom but I...
That is a gadget to replace the dark cloth. It has two loupes, one 2x permanently attached and another 2x which screws into it for focusing.
The link describes one for a small Linhof and there is...
Thanks Kirk
It has been years since I have been to Chaco Canyon, Then I came in from US 550 in an rental RV and remember a washboard road that was not too bad. I just checked the NP website for Chaco and,...
can I use front tilt, except tilting the front standard backwards?
Yes absolutely! That seems to be solultion here.
I had that camera years ago and I remember it would not focus at infinity with my Fujinon 90mm in place and with the standards neutral. I had to tilt the front standard back (from the base) and then...
It is a little-known fact that Moonrise Hernandez was Ansel's lover in the early 40's. Sadly, she died not long ago and is buried in that very cemetery. Notice the extra headstone on the far left?
It has been years since I have used PMK and HP5 but when I did, I could go from -3 to +4 (or at least +3 1/2. For -3 my exposure compensation was + 2 stops. Time in trays was 5.5 minutes.

What college is that? Times have changed since I was in an art department in the 70's. one could only distinguish the students from the faculty by slightly different states of undress. The Age of...
About six years ago I thought I hiked to Cape Flattery on the Makah reservation but was unable to bring my view camera. I remember seeing the boardwalks, the rocky headlands and one or more examples...
Mine has the removable rear flange and its number is 14790xxx. So that is a bit lower number then the prior post
By the way I had SK Grimes make a rear lens cap so that I would not need to replace...
The detents on a Technikardan are cylinder-in-a-hole sort of things rather than the more typical trapped-ball bearing-in-a-socket. So you're either in or out of the detent, there is no in between in...
My tripod legs are covered with tables of information such as the 1) maximum rise without vignetting for each lens (if I end up inside the maximum, there is no need to check vignetting visually); 2)...
Does anyone know the status of Superior Archival Materials, Inc? It is (or has been and I hope, continues to be) an excellent source of Bainbridge Artcare mount board. But their voice mail says...
It would seem that stitching parts of what was one piece of film is light work for any software. After all, the usual chore faced by a panorama program is to find, recognize and stitch edges of...
Evidently what I do is a compromise: I buy precut standard size boards such as 16x20, 20x24 and 22x28 and then cut matts from them with a Logan Compact mattt cutter that is about 20 years old....
If you look at Tim's B&H photo you'll see four screws which hold the back of the frame together. There are the same screws in the front. On two of my hoods, several of these screws (including the...
My 2¢: bar changing is a pain; the piece that attaches to the shoe comes loose and falls off; the screws that hold it together are wood screws seated in plastic and fall out; (the first one I had had...
David,
Does the Silverfast SE version allow making a profile of the scanner? Does the native Epson driver? Do either allow for the Silverfast multisampling option?
I think the answer is no for...
Start with this one, i.e., http://www.largeformatphotography.info/
and there's http://www.thalmann.com/largeformat/
Kirk,
I use Ekta Space P5 as a working color space but not as a scanning profile. For scanning, I use a profile made with the profile-creating capabilities of Silverfast which uses a target...
There was an article within the last 12 months in either View Camera or Camera Arts which would help you find some of them.
OK I admit if someone gave me one I'd sleep with it under my pillow just because its so fine. But until then I'll just tap my camera mounted on a AS B1 a few times in each axis.
I played with one at the VC magazine hoedown in Monterey a few years ago. It's fine machine work like any Arca Swiss piece but only a rich person with an obsessive-compulsive disorder would buy one...
