Re: Large Format Landscapes
The Marble Canyon image is unusual for its choice of time of day (I would say between 10:00AM and 11AM?) and type of lighting (slightly side say 45-60 degrees). In fact I am going to guess that you had high thin clouds with a very modest reduction in intensity. THere are virtually no blocked up shadows with this lighting which offers so much detail throughout. The sidelit trees add wonderful color dimension. Really great image.
I am very fond of my Nikkor 210 as it has rendered many of my favorites.
Keep up the good work.

Me too...I like a lot my Nikkor 210. I've shot a lot of 8x10 negatives with it, too. Nikon had on their site the information about this lens that it would cover just untill 5x7" format, but it covers 8x10, with about 1/2 inch movements.

Nana, This is a good thing to know! I'm going to try mine on 8x10!

If you want to be sure about covering, you must focus your lens to infinity and then, you look thru the lens, your eye the closest possible to the lens, then you move your head up and thown, to look at the 4 corners of the GG, if you can see the 4 corners, the lens will cover the format, you can even see how much extra coverage the lens will have. This is very helpfull with all cameras and lenses, especially when you do raise, down and shift movements, to confirm that the lens is covering all the negative.
Here are 2 photos made with my Nikkor W 210/5.6 and a Kodak 2D 8x10" camera:

Thank you!
It was closer to 2:30pm or so I think. There were 0 clouds in the sky, perfect blue.

That will tell you if your lens illuminates the format. Try that with a petzval. It tells you nothing of the sharp coverage of the lens.

The delineations of texture in the shore line photo are so stark they are almost disturbing - but I like it alot! - Chris
