Duh that would be dodging but either way, fixable in printing!

Why thanks. That one was just being in the right place at the right time. Now only if that would happen with a lottery ticket....

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 :D
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...

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.
