Big thanks to Dennis P for sending over a super P/P print - wow is it cool ! I've never seen anything like it before and the digital shooters (as well as myself) are stunned. Great motivation. Only...

Summer night in Perth.

Performance in available light is the key to hand held 4x5. The best I've used so far is the Japan market Yashica-Yashinon 127mm 1:4.7 It is a fast enough lens and performs quite well wide open.

Thanks Jim, that's a big help.

Hi Jim,

Is that a KR15 ? as in orange colour conversion filter?

C.

Wow, that rocks, great composition and wonderful movement.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply. Many of your images have impressive sky/cloud detail and separation which I really enjoy, I love the drama of weather. However you get from neg to print it is clearly...

Hi Jim,

Is that a red filter on this image?

Regards,

Chris.

Hi Jim,

Many thanks for the kind offers and advice. PM sent. Lashed out and paid for my first 8x10 camera today so that's a little bit of gear that will compliment this type of process - luckily...

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the link, it's certainly closer than the USA. I see they have a course in December. Don't think I can wait that long. Once I've checked out the prints first hand and decided...

Vaughn,

Wow, many thanks for the generous offer, a couple of almost prints would be great in any size you see fit. Will pm my address. It's clear I've plenty to learn about the various types of...

Thanks Mark, as I suspected - I'm playing with fire :)

Chris.

I'm interested in the plat/pal and perhaps carbon printing process with 8x10 negs. Only problem is that I've not seen first hand any examples of this sort of work, don't think there is anyone doing...

It's the island just north of the TeWaiPounamu, the Mainland :)

Hi Sandy,

I find the emotional power of colour to be the most distracting and problematic portion of colour image making. In most cases the strength of colour simply overwhelms the traditional...

Your pulling our leg, right?

Would like to know how that works too, I'm also wondering how clouds come out with a 2 minute scanning time ? Any one with scanning back experience out there ?

Chris.

Yes, very interested in hearing more about these backs.

Chris

Very interesting, thanks for the post, would like to hear more ! How do you think it would handle night shots of which I do a lot? I'm not sure I understood the waterfall reference, does this mean...

Hi Ken,

I've been doing the same, shooting Fuji instant and scanning with a V700. The FP-100B looks really good so far and printed up on a 3800 at 8"x8" looks as good as a 4x5 neg, have yet to try...

Wow, cool shot !

Chris.

The smaller size (about 8.5 x 10.5cm from memory) film is called FP-100c FP-100b FP-3000B and is quite a bit less expensive than the 'full' size' FP-100c45 film and as far as I know requires a Fuji...

G'day Steve,

Welcome from the other side of the Island (Perth).

Chris.

I really like polaroid (Fuji) film and only wish it was available in 8x10. Have shot a lot of the 4x5 fuji material and I'm trying a 6X6 system at the moment to see if that is also workable for me.
...

I've not read this thread but just sampled a couple of the first posts.

Personally I was not at all comfortable with the image and situation but I do not wish to sensor the photographers work in...

Hi Joel,

Lovely rounded water flow there, do you recall the shutter speed on this frame?

Regards,

Chris.

I see, yes, looks good to me.

That's great Rob, I'm pleased to hear that. (still off topic) would be interested to hear how you felt the 130 Dagor was an improvement over the Fuji ?

Best,

Chris.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the comments, will save my pennys for one of Richards 8x10's. The new Razzle is just about sorted. I've got it with cable release, grafmatic holder in the back and the whole...

Hi Bruce,

I believe your right, think I'll wait until I can afford one of Richards fine cameras or perhaps a Wehman.

Chris.

Hi Oren,

The one I was watching is on fleabay - item # 250530341125. The text implies that is is a 1993 build. Other than that I'm unsure.

Chris.

Looking for opinions re the Zone VI 8x10 camera ?

Thanks,

Chris.

Thanks Oran, that's what I needed.

Regards,

Chris.

I'm looking at a Wista (Rittrack) metal camera with a 8x10 back, does anyone here have any experience with such an animal? Any opinions re it's suitability for field use as compared to Kodak Master...

I'm on my second Razzle, love it !

Chris.

Unfortunately it is no longer a mater of ideals but one of necessity. On this side of the planet these matters are very real and not an abstract notion. The extraction of one prime hardwood comes at...

I've got a 045N in maple in which I think is just great and I'm saving fro a 8x10 from the same folk. I won't buy any product made from teak or any other wood that can not be harvested in a...
