  2. Re: Handheld 4x5 shooting with a wista rf and on-camera flash.

    Bit late, but last week I shot the wista rf handheld with the 150mm at f5.6 and pegged the focus nicely. Which was all the more satisfying as when I checked the rf it needed adjusting. A quick turn...

    Re: Overhead still lifes

    I use a Manfrotto repro arm with a counter weight plus a magic arm with superclamps to make it super secure. I have a sinar p mounted with a 240mm lens so the camera is pretty big when extended for...

    Re: Wista RF adjustment

    The movement on mine sounds like yours, once the bed is extended to a certain point the rf doesn’t continue to focus, probably because it’s simply not accurate enough. The rf isn’t designed to...

    Not sure that this will be of any help given the lose screw but I had a slight misalignment when I received my wista rf from japan late last year. I found there was a small cam on the bed at the...

    Re: Describe a style for me

    Tonal qualities aside, the stand out thing I see here is F/(Big number). Lots of DoF. Even the macro shots look to be well stopped down.

    It’d also slow the process of raising the camera up!! So very little chance of it shaking!!

  19. Re: Handheld 4x5 shooting with a wista rf and on-camera flash.

    That bit seems very easy assuming the cams are good and the rf infinity is set. You focus on the gg at infinity for each of the three lenses then adjust and tighten the stops on the focus bed. There...
  20. Re: Handheld 4x5 shooting with a wista rf and on-camera flash.

    It’s early days but I’ll do my best. First impressions are the weight!! 3.5kg with glass. But also how robust it feels!! The RF is clear which was critical for me. And hopefully now, it’s accurate....

  25. Re: My perfect fixed lens LF camera - decision 1, the lens.

    I recall that from your website. I’m quoting from the list whereas my lenses state NW I think. So am I correct with the numbers or still misunderstanding this?

  26. Re: My perfect fixed lens LF camera - decision 1, the lens.

    You are quite correct. It is a 125mm Fujinon NSW f5.6 lens. The flange distance according to http://brucebarrett.com/large_format/LF_Lens_Coverage.html is 120mm. The Fujinon 105 NSW that I have is...
  27. Re: My perfect fixed lens LF camera - decision 1, the lens.

    I’m currently testing a camera I bought off of eBay. It’s a Polaroid 250 hack with a Fujinon 120mm lens. A bit longer than I’d hoped for but it’s rangefinder seems to be very accurate so it’s very...

  33. Re: My perfect fixed lens LF camera - decision 1, the lens.

    Thanks but I’ve used 90mm lenses and know they’re too wide for me. You might mean the travelwide cameras? I got the impression that the focussing system wasn’t very durable. Agreed though, they do...
