Good move for Leica. They're going to lose out on the mass market segment owing to new mirrorless cameras (which can use Leica lenses). People would think twice before spending $8000 on a Leica vs...

Thanks Michael, that's really nice of you!

You really simplified it. Thanks mdarnton!

It's a SW-S model, the seller mentioned Seiko shutter. How do I check if it affects lens performance?

Edit: It is a Seiko shutter. I see a marking "LS57" on it too, if that means something.

Perfect. It's slightly more than 11mm at f/5.6, measured with a ruler. Thanks Jim!

On another note, how did you arrive at 11.25mm calculation? Thanks.

Edit: ok, that's 90/8. NVM!

Ohh of course, the plane wasn't parallel! Thanks Jim.

Ah! Thank you so much. So f/5.6 is actually f/8 in this?

Hi everyone,
I have a Fuji 90mm f/8 lens that's supposed to have an image diameter of 216mm at f/22. Going by this, I should be restricted to a maximum rise/fall of 36.56mm...

Thank you Alan and Ari!

Those are inhuman photographs. How did he visualize them? :eek:

Hi everyone,
I've finally learned how to focus with tilt and swing!

I was experimenting changing the shape of objects using backward movements today. I put a book flat on the table and attempted...

Ah, so the focus was a few feet beyond the lady - and then a backward tilt?

Edit: looks like there's swing too....swung to the right, then tilted up

Hi, can you tell me how you achieved the out of focus effect on the bottom half of the first photo please? Is it by tilting forward at maximum aperture so that her eye was on the center point of the...

Cheers Prasanna. I'm from Chennai and a recent entrant into LF too!

Hi Larry, yes it does look like the edges of the image are a bit dark. When I moved my eye sight near the edges under a dark cloth it somehow manages to become brighter. This is quite a bit of a...

Hello everyone!

I'm Ajay from India. I'm 25 and I do modeling for a living .... mathematical modeling.

Got my first digital camera early March and been shooting street photography mostly in two...

Thanks Karl, Darin, Terry. It now shows up outdoors. I was shooting with a 90mm f/8 lens. I also made another mistake - I extended the bellows 160mm - so that seemed to cause an additional loss of...

Thanks Karl.

Yes, I somehow managed to get that switch on before viewing after some experimenting (and confusing that cocking thing for the shutter). That seemed to keep the aperture blades open....

Hi everyone,
I've finally managed to get a used Shen Hao HZX to get started. I've set up the camera, leveled everything to 0 - inserted the lens with the lens board - opened up the aperture blades...

Thanks Sevo and Brian!

Brian, I meant the light that forms the image. Something like this : http://www.dspguide.com/graphics/F_23_2.gif

Hi everyone,
I have an elementary question on shift in the view camera. I'm having trouble visualizing shift movements, since I'm yet to get my first camera (saving up to buy one by the end of the...
