Great pictures, Shailendra!!!

There is no debate as far as I know. There are just people who are either uninformed or who want to try and change the standing definition through subterfuge. This sub-forum is for LF images, and a Fotoman does not fit our parameters of LF. It is a medium format camera by any definition, however a 6x17 back used in a view camera does fit.

For those who don't know, we loosely define LF as anything that applies to 4x5 or larger film or anything that can be used in a view type camera, including role film backs.

In order to avoid future discussion on this matter, I will refrain from posting anymore images unless they are Large format....No hard feelings, whatsoever...

Personally I think this is a loss for this forum.

To Atul Mohidekar, Lachlan617, Dave_whatever, Leon (SocalAstro), mrladewig, David Aimone (iogdka), Ezzie, Scott Walker, and others....

You have all inspired me to repost images...believe me, I truly appreciate all of your support.

Image 1 (Queenstown, NZ) was taken with Fuji Acros (which is really a fantastic film, and cheap!), Image 2 (Mt Cook valley) desaturated Kodak Ektar 100....You can all guess on the camera :-)

Those cropped 8x20" shots look even better than those pesky old 6x17cm ones. Glad you upgraded your camera so quickly!

Shailendra,
Awesome stuff, keep em coming, thanks for sharing.

Ooooooh, sweet Shailendra. NZ sure has some picturesque scenery.

the top image has a 2 stop gnd but have never used a centre filter, the second pic is the only one i have noticed light fall off on the edges, i guess that because of shooting straight into the sun, apart from that i would get another gaoersi anyday, i managed to find a fuji 90mm f8 lens that had been factory refurbished and fully overhauled and it is tacksharp even when printing the images 1.8m wide

Thats awesome, I love the mountains in the background and the light looks perfect just wish I could see it slightly larger...

I have larger pics but I don't know how to upload. The thread only accepts small pictures.
