John, I was not looking for a progression of lenses. And yes I do follow you. All I was trying to do was understand if I could expect a lens...

I always enjoy the shimmering reflections in the water at sunset. This was taken late in the day at Lake Trahlyta in Vogel State Park. Pentax...

Thank you all! It looks like it's too much headache to make one that can compensate for the parallax and pretty much impossible to match the exact...

Thank you both! It is indeed Spanish Moss in the trees, but you may be interested to know that the foreground is not Yuccas, though we do...

That's why I made it easy for myself! I saved up 250 sht 8x10 boxes for awhile...we went thru 4 to 6 a semester at the university. The class was...

Ha! I once did a pinhole workshop with a class of fifth graders...had them bring their own various cardboard shoe-boxes, oatmeal containers, etc....

Bryan that canopy is wild! Fuzzy looking! What is it? Something like Spanish Moss? And yes...quite an interesting juxtaposition between this and...

Adam...about your original question - could you flesh this out a bit? I'm sure its not as simple as saying that a line is defined by two points -...

Beautiful, Bryan

Frank Green in Burbank is still printing ciba. He's an excellent printer. Can print murals with an 8x10 enlarger and able to make LVT interpositives...

So a lot of good points made here, but I just wanted to understand if the progression from 90mm to 150mm was linear. I gather it is. As for...

Nice shot Jerry, colors, tilts. Good scanning and processing. I guess colour perfect helps get them right.

Being a world class introvert, my anxiety with LF photography has always been that I hate drawing attention to myself. Setting up a tripod and fixing...

At one time I owned a 115mm Grandagon and a 120mm Angulon. I can only surmise that the Grandagon was a tad longer that 115mm and the Angulon a tad...

If only we had zooms, uh? :-) For my 4x5, over time and once I had stocked a 65, 75, 90, 125, 150, 180, 210, 240, 300, 360, 400 and 450 mm lenses...

Doolin, Ireland maybe 25 years ago. It was so windy that I had to weigh down the tripod. Platinum/Palladium print made about 20 years later from an...

Maybe I'm just really jealous of his custom made camera.

He was wearing a bitching sweater.. That's gotta count for something.

'Goodbye Cibachrome"... more like, "goodbye common sense". Bare handed, no respirator, fooling around with sulfuric acid bleach.

Magnolia is an Alt process lab which did a lot of special experimentation, especially involving scanning and laser etching, which has nothing in...

Thank you all.. will visit the View Camera Store tonight!

It depends on your finances, of course. I've had a 3 section Gitzo CF tripod for many years. I've used it for everything up to 8X10. It weighs...

I am inclined to try my 135/5.6 lens first then go wider or narrower as needed for the desired composition. At present, I have 65, 90, 135, 150,...

Tripod weight can be a help or hinderance to your task. At 3-5 pounds I can hike with the tripod all day. 6-8 pounds maybe a couple of miles won't...

I have had kids from 8yrs to 18 yrs making pinhole cameras...just 8x10s, though. Sure had them confused at first...they had no idea what to expect....
