I second the request for an objective review of large-format-capable scanners that would separate the marketing hype from real performance. I would be particularly interested in how much a high-end scanner like an Imacon or Creo improves on, say, an Epson 4990.
It's probably obvious, but the point of my suggestion (above) on printing larger digital negatives is to use them for contact printing.
Steve,
I'd love to see an article on the practicalities of using movements. There are plenty of books and articles on the theory, eg Schliem... etc. But personally, partly because I use my 4x5 quite infrequently, I am put off using movements, as I make errors too often.
A set of practical hints and tips on making sure that what you want is properly in focus especially after movements. Also hints on how to introduce movements to the camera to use them successfully eg focus, tilt, focus, shift etc... How to spot mistakes early...
Oh and more portfolio's please.
Dave.

What Jeff said. A series on mounting/matting/framing. Different types of glass/acrylic, etc.
And really, better editing. No offense, but your posts are full of typos. Read it over a second time before hitting the 'send' button...
Now that Martha's out of prison, maybe she could do an article on decorating with large format photography?
