Thanks for the links everyone. It is David Burnett indeed.

I remember a while back ago seeing a news/documentary photographer shooting with 4x5. I can't remember his name, or find the link that leads to his work. Anybody has any pointers?

Thanks.

Hmm.. interesting.. I was actually thinking of getting something like a Manfrotto 055 Carbon fiber tripod, cause right now I'm using the metal/steel version for field work using Sinar F2.

Will the...

Doesn't big video tripods use a half-ball mounting platform? I don't think that it's compatible with still cameras. Anyway I might be wrong.

In the studio we use a Manfrotto 058 Triaut camera...

Thank you for all the responses.

Seven and a half pounds! Whoa! The reason I got rid of my Sinar F1 was its weight, which should be around seven and a half pounds.. Wow!

I mean, it is a...

I've been on the lookout on ebay for the small Deardorffs, and what's the deal with the 4x5 and 5x7? Are they virtually the same (except for small differences from production dates), only fitted with...

I just purchased the 405 about two months ago, for use with my Canon 1Ds. It really is one of the purchases I should've done long time ago. Previously the medium sized Foba ballhead I use never lets...

Something else you might want to consider is driver issues. I have the Epson 2200, and it never works reliably for normal office document printing. I've downloaded multiple drivers, but still the...

"After the photograph is taken, Crewdson continues his obsessive process in post-production, using state-of-the-art digital composting and special effects. "

Well, with digital, and a relatively...

Tough choice, but i'm leaning toward #1.

Doing 4x5 processing in trays, when is the earliest that you can turn on your darkroom light? I hate working in the darkness!

After out the developer tray? After out the stop tray? After 1 min in...

really?
I know the CAPA store. I think they also gets their stock from the same distributor. Did you get any stock from them recently?

IMHO, there are more basic questions that should be discussed, before we attempt to answer the question above.

Is art objective, or subjective?

What is beauty, does it have any standards?
...

many thanks for the information.

I find it hard to believe that you can't get 4x5 ilford films in Japan. It thought Japanese are one of the country with the largest large format...

from wikipedia:



now how is that going to affect your art?

At least that's what I hear from the national distributor of Ilford in Indonesia. No more HP5 in 4x5. I've only been able to get Delta 100 and Delta 400, and that's a 1999 expired film.

Dynamic range is what the film or sensor capable of recording.

Bit depth is an entirely different thing.

In digital, the signal captured go through an Analog/Digital (A/D) sensor, and the...

Dear Utomo, I'm Michael from Indonesia. You can still shoot transparancies and get them processed at prisma, I believe. I just got some done about 2-3 weeks ago.

As for prints you just have to...

I guess the answer is unclear, as people seem to have conflicting results. As much as I inspect, there seems to be nothing wrong with the F1 body, or the standards. Only the bellows are preventing...

Is this doable with all 150mm Schneider Symmars? My lens is a Symmar-S, but it doesn't have the green engraving on it.

I'm shooting with a 150mm lens Schneider Symmar-S, on a Sinar F1 body. Somehow the thickness of the bellows prevent me from doing very extreme rise when I need it. When the standards are close...

How much 4x5 film can you develop with these kits? I believe it says 5L single use. And does
single use mean you have to use all of it at once?

Thanks.

If I leave my chemicals in open tray, exposed to air, will that make the chemical expire/altered ?

Thanks, David. Perhaps travel with film isn't as bad as it seems.

anybody ever tried those x-ray shield bag? the bag supposedly contains metal elements, and they feel like metal. I got one when in Japan, Hakubo is the brand. But I've never really tried it...
