I agree. Once you've found the optimal spot for any particular lens, it becomes second nature. My mentor, the late Per Volquartz seemed to know this intuitively, when teaching me. It's just that I...

No not an issue, it just seems that there should be some logical, repeatable method one uses to determine proper selection without too much of the fiddle-factor, guesstimate stuff. I haven't...

I've only used my Chamonix 45n-2 for about a year now, shooting mostly with a 210 and 135mm and as a result of a recent discussion I had with another newbie Chamonix owner, I decided to ask this...

I took a leap into large format with the purchase of a Tachihara 4x5 a few days ago. Bought it on ebay so I don't have it in hand yet. It comes with a Nikkor-W 135mm f/5.6 Copal 0 Shutter f/5.6 -...

October 10 thru 14th

I have photobackpacker cases for my camera body and each of my 4 lenses. The lens cases also hold the shutter releases which I leave attached to each lens.

Everything resides nicely in a backpack...

Hi Jim,

I trust you've received my email response.

I'll be there.

I had asked Per if I could tentatively register; however, I'm coming from a trip to the Yucatan the week before and arrive home the day before the Santa Fe workshop begins. I really wanted to be...

This is a very nice portrait Jim. I'd like to get a copy if possible.

I first met Per in July of 2010. I was a LF newbie, a wannabe. Eager and excited. From the moment I saw Per, I knew I had met someone special. Artistically astute, generous, warm, jovial and...

Although they're probably not considered "Travel" per se but Tillman Crane offer's large format workshops in different locals:

Sorry Jack. I wasn't taking aim at you. Just expedient for me to make a single post rather than many :D

Yes, and IMHO this is one of them:

Then in essence, you are practicing to improve your photographic vision. You are not burning film at whatever presents itself, and neither was I implying that one aimlessly release the shutter.

Wow! -- maybe I should sign-up for your class :D Those are awesome!

I see absolutely nothing offending or irritating about practicing. Makes perfect sense.
I would even go as far as saying that some photographers practice, without actually referring or considering...

I've heard that rather than purchasing expensive soft focus lenses, you could smear a clear filter with say vaseline, then attach the filter to the camera lens. Another option I've heard of is to...

A new Canham will be around $3K. You've probably already costed the Shen and the Tachihara.

Don't leave the Chamonix out of your choices. I believe they're (8x10) available new for $2880. EMS...

Hi Curt,

Actually, Per did offer to do just that. I'm still considering my options. I may decide to take a MF camera instead of my 4x5 rig.

I'm now preoccupied with paying for the trip if I...

Yes, I'll be connecting between either LA, or Dallas/Ft. Worth. Haven't made any flight reservations yet.

I'm a relative newb to LF and the Chamonix 45n-2 is my first LF camera. I've been shooting now for about a year and I have no trouble setting up the camera quickly.
