M Reichman and I have been corresponding and actually we are going ahead with this 8x10 vs 80 phase back challenge.* personally I think it as testing than a challenge**
I am taking on the role of Paul Bunyon and he is the wippersnapper with the chainsaw.
We are waiting until he gets the unit and timelines are not important to him and for me I really am just interested in the results
I have the 8x10 and film, Lenny Eiger or scanning guru on Large Format has said he will scan the film for me, and M Reichman will supply the digital camera.
Hopefully this will happen this year, believe me he is not hiding from this challenge , we are both in the same city and at some point we will make this happen.
There is another thread going that goes into this a bit more.
Medium format with movements. I'm with Ole on the 100 sq. cm definition.
One man's Mede is another man's Persian.
As noted at the top of our FAQ page, our current definition was established in 2014. No further changes are planned.
Hi Rick
What size roll films?
I used to have a Recomar 35mm Kodachrome back for my LF camera so I could do perspective control stuff in camera, I sold it years ago, but if I kept it would I have been able to talk about it here? I have been thinking of getting another and shooting a bunch of small roll film format and meniscus, RR and other vintage LF lenses with it... the ground glass on that Recomar is kind of funny ..
Commonly accepted definitions base large format photography on 4"x5" and larger sheet film (or the 9x12 cm metric equivalent), regardless of the style of camera being used. This is the definition we will use. We would also consider a digital back with a nominal sensor size of 4"x5" or larger to be LF, as well, regardless of technology.
This is our current definition. As far as Forum policy is concerned, it supersedes anything that was posted previously in this thread.
