Yep... this subject is very interresting.

300mm should work with many people and not with others.

I think the first picture I showed was taken from a bad pov: too high. That maybe why she...

Well I'll try some new tests... TTL measuring is really strange: it depends on the distance you look! ;)

No, I measured it like this and the blades are invisible when wide open. Are you sure for this method? My pictures all came underexposed about one stop when rated at f2.8. That’s what made me doubt....

Well guys! I bought this Schneider Symar 5.6/240mm for the Compur II that came with it... but it doesn’t really works!
In fact the Xenotar fits nicelly but the aperture is too small. The Xenotar...

Hi there!

I'm a bit confused today... I earn my first LF camera with a standard lens. It's a 4x5 Linhof with a 150mm lens.

I wanted to make head and shoulders portraits and I was aware that...

I love it!

Yes there is an artificial light on the right.

I explain a bit about it here.

Thx guys! :)

Hi guys! So much good information here!

I have to consider focal plane bending on Petzval lens and sharpness drop off with larger formats...

At this moment I only have a 4x5 camera for my wet...

Thank you very much y'all guys! You helped a lot.

I bought this 240 schneider lens with his compur shutter. I'll tell you!

Thx once again!

Hi guys! Is this a solution for my problem?
...

Yes! I'd like to fix this lens mainly for wide aperture use. Sort of studio swallow dof portraiture.

Yap! But my trouble is mainly on DOF questions!

Theorically (DOF Master), my 4.5/210mm @1.5 meter would give me 40mmDOF on my 4x5 plates. But the results are much more commons! :(

Thx everyone!

Are you sure a long lens is part of the solution? I'm a bit sceptical about it... I was thinking dof only depends on two factors, lens aperture and growth factor. This last point...

Yap! But I'll need the exact mesurement for that...

Thank y'all mates! I think you help a LOT!

I'm interested with your spare Compur II Ed. please let me know how much you'll ask for it!

Ok... thx a lot Jason!

These shutters are so identical to me, with different names and prices... some look recent, other very old... some are 20 dollars and some 400... I'm very lost with these...

Hi Bob! Thank you so much for answering!:D

So you say I can use ANY size 3 shutter? What's the cheapest option? What's a shim?

Hi everyone!

My mind's stuck on this beautiful and well-known photograph by M. Quinn Jacobson:

Can someone explain me how to achieve such a short dof?

I saw a few videos where...

Hi folks!

I have this wonderful lens at home but as you can see there are parts missing...

I'm a beginer with LF photography and don't know much about it. It seems it lacks a shutter. I've been...

Hi there! I'm a french photographer based in Bordeaux, France. I used to play Leica M6 and 120mm film cameras. Now I'm begining to work on wet plate collodion with a 4x5 Linhof Technika.
