Needlenose pliers in all my camera bags!!

...to more quickly pull out the hundreds of cactus needles that inevitably get stuck in my leg... belly... fingers.... arms....

(I learned this...

Thanks, Guys!

Your replies make total sense...

But of the various products made by Velcro, the only one that is described as suitable for fabric is the one I pasted in the question...

Hi, All,

Does anyone know a good, adhesive hook and loop product..that will attach securely to the fabric inside of camera bags? (Most don't work on fabric.)

It seems that padding in most...

Thanks for all the input, folks!

My reason for asking...if a person never uses a lens "wide open" to its largest aperture... then is there ANY image benefit of a fast lens over a slow lens, when...

Hi, All,

For example, two 150 mm lenses, both set at aperture of f22 or...

Thanks all! ....so many great replies.

Actually, I'm not certain I will even have a problem, I saw the 617 issue and example images in another forum and like to be prepared (OCD).

Hi, All,

I don't mean to hijack the post...but may I ask...

QUESTION: Is there a way to simply keep a LF camera somewhat cool for use in a cold climate? Or is that a good way to invite...

Hi, Drew,

I've not seen your previous site, but I think this one is quite good. Straightforward and consistent navigation...with the nav bar available on every page. Left justified type is...

Uh-oh...Medium format 120 likely going away before sheet film?

Now i have ANOTHER thing to worry about!

:rolleyes:

Thanks, Nick,

...that's a good thought....will do...

Thank you, David!

I will get my step-up rings all lined up and test it out.

You mentioned it's not recommended to have the filters too far from the lens...but I wonder why. I should search a...

Hello, All,

Some years back, I invested in a round center filter with an 82 mm diameter...but didn't really find THAT much need for it with 4x5. (...laziness, i guess).

I just ordered the...

Just a comment...

I've just ordered a Shen-Hao 617 bellows pano camera...and I'm quite anxious to receive it, because I already have a Shen-Hao 4x5...and both cameras use the same lens boards. ...
