do we post our preferences here? so what's the final choice for where everyone is staying?
I've been using the betterlight for outdoor landscape photography for about two years. In that time I've been very impressed with the quality of the scan and think it exceeds what I can do with my...
looks like $47/nite for an RV but no tent sites.... i may just try to stay in one of the state parks...
Forrest just clued me in on the remembrance get together. Please count me in. I would share a campsite if one can be found.
anyone wanting to carpool from the SF Bay Area, contact me

I'm looking at my calendar. I'll let you know in the next couple days how long I can make it
so this meeting place is in Bridgeport, CA? got a google map link to location?
but there **ARE** differences.... the gamma 1.8 spreads out the shadows whereas the 2.2 spreads out the highlights. You can prove this to yourself by assigning (NOT convert) the "false profile" of...
I've gotten lens board adapters done by Jorge Moreno

yes. I just bought some Arca Swiss gear and they are reliable. they are indeed in Arizona
I have an Arca Swiss Fline 4x5 and I've been very, very happy with my pack from Renaissance Photo Tech, Inc. (RPT).

there is a special box for the camera and one for lenses and one for...
had a great time guys! not done with Tonapah so I'll be back
where is everyone posting images? here or at APUG?
OK advice but IMHO it doesn't go near far enough... far better to NOTHING in the scan & get a RAW file. Most scanners are 12 bit so a 16 bit RAW is very dark... highest values are no more than 50...
yes! unclip the back and remove it, rotate it, clip it back on. same is true for almost all folding cameras like the deardorf, wisner, tachihara, etc. Rotating backs add weight and not much value
another problem is my old Masterview may not have enough precision to do this sensor justice! Using a Better Light scan back and, man, does it have problems with low light... resolution is not an...

especially the equipment reveiws. you might just start with a Calumet or graphic view II for almost next to nothing to see if you are suited...
you will need a flatbed and not a drum of course (or a Leafscan/Hasselblad which are closer to enlargers). Lots of choices if you want to go to Ebay to find. suggest subscribing to

1/3 stop on f/stop, factors of two (1/25, 1/50, 1/100, ...) on the shutter for film, slightly better for the betterlight since scan times are 1/8 sec, 1/10, 1/15, ...
nothing approaches 1 part in...
here goes a rant: I use a Betterlight (BL) back and I use film with a spotmeter. When taking a picture, you need to set the exposure: shutter speed (line capture time on BL) and the f/stop on the...
is this for film or do you intend to get a digital back for a medium format camera? i am confused.... for film, a hand held device like a pentax digital spotmeter is a wonderful tool and you just...
I have my Arca F line in an RPI

the iPad/iPhone app would be more interesting if i had an iPad/IPhone... which I have no plans of ever owning. likely this is true for many of the people browsing out there so could the app also do...
the "little image" is actually the thumbnail
point taken about attention span. then there is the problem of being found at all
but i guess that once someone stumbles onto your site you must...

sounds like a good idea! I will also look into Zoomify's products. this was the free plug in in Photoshop CS4... and yes, i was aware of theft. I'm sure you can rip this and restitch in theory but...
point taken. so instead of "full resolution" maybe "high resolution" or would you suggest something else? I used "full" because this is unreduced from the resolution of the raw scan of the image

I've been playing with posting large format on the web in full resolution. Debating whether to scale it down so that it would load faster but here's a sample 8x10 scan

no Bayer interpolation in large format scan backs, though. so colors are very pure at the expense of long scan times and image artifact problems when the subject moves. there is also a Black&White...
as you look at lenses, you might want the specs... try

where in the Mojave are you? Ridgecrest, here...
there are good things and bad. one interesting thing is to do a capture in infrared and one in visible then in photoshop use the luminosity of the infrared and the color from the visible = "color...
only one. if your'e careful that's all that you need. especially with 8x10

I've (unfortunately) lived the last 20 years in the shadow of Darwin and never made it there...
not to talk you out of Shen Hao or Chamonix, but this question comes up a lot... there are lots of other choices

if you take the guide number and divide by the number of feet I think it gives you the f/stop
this is so good that if you don't want it, let me know who's selling it and I'll buy it
:)
if you want to broaden your search, look at the Arca Swiss and Sinar's in addition to Linhof & Toyo. Extremely refined and rigid.
Betterlight works with 4x5 Technikardan. scan backs are like thick grafmatics and do NOT use the graflok portion
can you get a 4x5 adapter back and leave the 6x9 front like you can with an Arca...
er... i set the pack down on the ground and let it get dirty.
I am seeking the very rare Graflex XL 4"x5" Adapter Back. if anyone has one to sell, please PM with price. Yes, I know it does not do the full 4x5 frame
