Hi again,
I am gonna get a new large format rather than my Speed Graphic Pacemaker and Crown Graphic, it is Shen Hao, but i have some quick questions:
1. What lens is supposed to be wide on large format? the camera i will order will come with 150mm, is this normal standard and what it is equivalent to 35mm or MF?
2. Is that Shen Hao has models where i can change the orientation of photo [Landscape/Portraits]?
3. If i buy any of those roll backs [6x9, 6x12,....] is that mean it turns to a medium format camera and using rolls?
4. What is the meaning of Fresnel?
5. The most important question here i ask is, how to load and unload the sheets in holder for shooting? and after unloading safely how i can store it until i send it to the lab and then how can the lab receive it for developing/processing? I have a changing bag[tent] if that can help.
6. from my first post asking about LF, i am trying to understand about the dark cloth, should it be of a special material or any cloth dark can do the job? I have a black long cloth of cotton not so thick, will it be sufficient?
7. I have a loupe from my cleaning kit [Visible Dust], is it good enough to be used with my large format or i should get something different?
8. Last but not least, what is the steps to start to shoot LF from setting the camera to unloading it?
Thanks,
Tareq
