    Re: Seeking Android Application Beta Testers

    I like this app. Super simple and free. It works on my nexus 4. The camera will almost cover a 135mm lens. Good Luck!

    Re: Recommended cheap focusing Loupe 4x5

    I have a peak loupe and I vastly prefer to use a normal 35mm lens. The focus area is better magnified and bigger. I was actually quite shocked when I tried it out because it was so much better.

    I love my 300 f9 lens for landscape. I like the angle of view so much that I am thinking about getting another 300 that is faster for portraits and still life.

  11. Re: Looking for a 450mm lens for 4x5" in Copal 1 shutter under 1K ?

    I dont think you can focus a lens that long without the bed extender thingie, even with it you can barely focus much closer than infinity. Definitely check any lens' flange focal length before buying.
