    Re: some nudes w/ Polaroid 4X5 and HP5

    This was a beauty dish on a boom, single light, about as simple as it gets. I've never heard it called a porn lighting before though.

    I have been shooting a bit of Polaroid film lately, the 3X4 in my converted 900. It also has a 150mm lens.

  5. Re: Polaroid converted 4X5 w/ holder and Fujiroid

    In the origional form, they are pretty sharp. Not razor sharp like my Nikon D300/Tamron 28-75, but more than sharp enough for what I am trying to do. These are the little ones (3.25x3.75), not...

    Tom;

    This set is by no way ment to be a test between the two. As I'm typing from work, it's better not to go look at the set, but if memory serves me, its about 1/2 speed, and 1/2 Alpenhause. ...

    Steve;

    Thanks for the nice words ..... I had a great time using the camera. I'm starting to get the hang of it. The 4X5 format is not the simplest way to shoot nudes, but the film gives some...

    Dear all;

    I have finished processing my first full fine art shoot with the Speed Graphic and the Polaroid conversion. This one happens to be an Alpenhause. However, I guess that a Razzle-Dog or...

    Dear all;

    Due to my strong ability to scratch the living daylights of of Arista.edu 4X5 film, I decided to drop the last figure shoot done with my PHOTOGRAPHIC TOOLS at a pro lab. ( Yes, there is...

    Re: LITTMAN 45 SINGLE VI On EbaY 8,000

    Dear all,

    I have now used both my Speed and Alpenhaus in a studio setting. Both are equally good when focused via ground glass, and they both take about the same time.

    It could be my poor...

    Re: LITTMAN 45 SINGLE VI On EbaY 8,000

    I would comment that on my Speed, I find the 135 really a bit wide for what I like, the 210mm is just right for my shooting style, and on my 4X5 conversion, I have a Prinz 150mm. If I could have...

    Re: Polaroid Conversions: How are they to shoot?

    Really not that much more difficult than any 35mm/medium format range finder. I have recently got an Alpenhaus conversion, and it's a blast. The film holders are a bit more work than roll film :D ,...

    What a small world .... I'm waiting on a package from Steve as well. I would have been happy with a Razzle if I thought that I could actually get one this year. Dean does not hold out much hope! ...
