Just back from Zion, I'm now heading out to Banff NP on Saturday for a week of shooting (tagging this onto a conference). This will be my second big trip with LF, the first one to Zion went seamlessly concerning carry-on security and hand inspection of film (of course I have now jinxed myself). Just got 200 sheets back from Photo Craft Imaging and the results exceeded my expectations (for $1.40/sheet I was not sure what to expect). I hope to post some images and write an overview of what worked and what did not in Zion because there were a few issues which cropped up which I did not anticipate. Just don't have the time before this next trip....
Now on to Banff. My concern is shooting in winter conditions. Are there any issues using quick/ready loads or am I better to stick with film holders. Is static electricity an issue when drawing the dark slide? What about fogging the groundglass? I don't think holding my breath is an option. I'm using an Arca Swiss F-Field camera, so I would be interested in hearing from other Arca users how this camera performs in the cold (say -20 to -30 degrees centigrade).
Cheers in advance for any tips/tricks and advice cold weather imagers can pass along.
