Excellent, tuco - let's see more!

Thanks. Well, I joined the LFP in hopes I'd get more motivated to get out and shoot my 4x5 more. My photography is dominated by my medium format cameras. And recently I picked up a Mamiya 7II and that has got me pretty excited. What an easy backpacking and street camera. But I did just post one in architecture and in LF cropped to square today.

I understand that, i am also dominated by MF film and digital, pity that my Mamiya 7II doesn't working since i bought the only lens 65mm, can't ship it overseas to USA for repair and pay bucks, i had dropped my digital MF by mistake and it took all my saving money to repair it, so i will use LF and other MF cameras until the time of repairing Mamiya 7II.

Oh, that's nice. You're really talking that new gear to all kinds of places.

Thanks Tuco.
Well I paid for it so the least I can do is use it
That said I did not take the LF gear everyday on our hikes. Weight is of course a reason but set-up time and patience of my family is another one.

I missed the golden hour for that one, but after leaving so much blood to the mosquitos, I was not going to go back empty handed. SO I had the idea of a high contract instead of a nicely toned. Not sure I am fully sold on it...

I don't have a centre filter for this lense, and am wondering if I need to get one, despite their cost. It seems to be OK on this image, but on others the darkening towards the edge of the image is more pronounced. I'm also not sure how to avoid vignetting if I mount another filter on top of the centre filter (eg an orange filter) - is there a good way of doing this? It doesn't seem to be possible to mount a filter on the rear lense element, for example.

Schneider center filters at least since the introduction of the f/5.6 Super Angulons have a larger front thread than the mounting thread. The filter you place in the front is therefore much larger than the thread on the lens. This allows you to stack another filter on the front without vignetting.

Also, you can mount the Sinar filter holder on a rod that fits into the hexagonal opening on the front standard of your F. That holder uses a 105mm filter that you can swing in front of the lens. That filter is big enough to avoid vignetting on wide lenses.

Rick - thank you, that's really helpful.

Luc, I love your other landscapes, but I'm definitely not sold on this one. Where your other ones are full of tone, this one os so heavy with the black silhouette of the mountains. They're too big and dominating in this image, I feel, to successfully work as a silhouette.

But seriously, great job on the other ones. Spectacular!

The Snake Range from the Long Now campsite. I tried an odd composition in this one, with a big blank area that I'd usually avoid. I'm not sure it's successful, but it is at least a change of pace from my usual.
