Fantastic image! Wonderful composition.

WOW! Just incredible.

Stunning image, Meekyman!

Absolutely STUNNING image! Perfect composition and tonality.

Wow!

stunning!

Does anyone know if the Travelwide is still being sold? I tried to purchase one from their website, but there is no order form or Buy button.

WOW! Simply amazing image!

Beautiful!

Awesome!

THANKS ! I'm going to try a series of Los Angeles city-scape WA shots.

Is that a record for low resolution scores? I had no idea the res was actually so low!

Does anyone know what the optimal f-stop is for this lens at infinity?

I'd thought of that too, but are they still being made?

Is the grumpy tone ("just dumb") a common occurrence on this web site? In any case, I apologize if I didn't understand the English phrase in your question. At least you might be able to garner...

That was my thinking too. Judging from the lens diagram provided on Schneider's website, I'd guess the distance is ca. 7.5 mm.
Here's the link to the PDF:...

Patience! Patience! All of us surely have other photographic tools we can use until this 4x5 P&S arrives at our doorsteps. I for one wish someone would make a similar version for the Schneider SA XL...

I've been looking for something similar and am now convinced of the merits of the Induro PHQ-3. I tried it out yesterday at the house of a friend and can honestly say I am VERY impressed with its...

Final update! Just wanted to let those who participated in this discussion know of the results of my intensive search for a new tripod head for both my Hasselblad 500 and my Linhof + Walker Titan XL....

Both are stunningly beautiful images!

After reading the info provided about the Arca Swiss D4 (thanks, Peter Lewin!), I think I'm now pretty much settled on that model. I'd like to go to one of my local camera stores at some point this...

UPDATE: Thanks to all who replied with excellent advice. Since I'd never used or even handled a ball head before, I decided to try a couple out over the last few days. My experience can best be...

WOW! That's a great review and very convincing. I'm leaning more and more to the FLM because of those features. I can imagine now despite never having used a ballhead that it might be frustrating,...

This new addition to the Acratech line looks interesting as well:

Man thanks! As I mentioned previously, I'd pretty much narrowed down my choice to the Arca Swiss P0 or the FLM CB38 - until I read the very negative report (see link in previous post) from a German...

The FLM's are starting to look more and more appealing because of the features you've mentioned. There's also a very positive review here:...

I, too, think that Arca Swiss kicks butt. Excluding my personal view, you might get your answer at Sammy's (hands on). On all forums I've visited, I've heard nothing but praise for the AS. Their...

That's been my experience too. Incredible engineering, especially their LF camera systems.

It would be nice to hear more first-hand user reports re the FLM heads. I'd very seriously considered the CB38 they make, before I read the German test report. OTOH, my needs are fairly restricted...

Thanks! The Acratech GP is another option I've been seriously looking at. They have a great reputation, fantastic customer service (at least from what I've read), and their ball heads appear to be...

I'd say 80% of the time it's level, so I'd thought of a Linhof-style leveling head as well. But there are those times when I need the camera pointed down into the creeks / ground, and that's a bit...

Very sorry to hear about your back problems, Alan! I can empathize completely! Agony!!!
I've never used a ballhead before at all. My photog life has been restricted to MF and LF, always with a...

Thanks very much. Yes, I did that last week and had all but decided on one of the FLM heads as they really shine on paper. And then I read this report conducted in Germany which stated that one of...

Since suffering a back injury that has radically limited the weight I can carry, I'm doing my best to lighten the loads I can carry. In LF, I've switched over to a Walker Titan XL (since I shoot...

This is the site I have visited several times, but there is no option for pre-order there, at least not with browsers I have (Chrome + Firefox). Also no option to send a payment for pre-order by...

Hmmm. Thanks for letting me know. That's very strange though because I'm using Chrome as well but I see the pre-order button for only a split second before it disappears, and the one of the previous...

Thank you Tracy. I had the same problem with the website that you mentioned with pre-order procedure. I could see the pre-order button for 1 second and then it disappeared. Maybe they can no longer...

The problem I have with Travelwide is there is no place to buy this camera. Maybe Cambo Wide is the better solution, but more expensive.

Thank you. I'm sorry, but I don't understand the meaning of phrase "PM"? Thank you!

That's probably the explanation, thanks. I didn't think of it and I wasn't aware that the camera was only being sold in limited numbers. Too bad. I should have bought one when I had the chance. It...
