New York Film Works, Broadway between 21nd and 22nd Street.

Respectfully, Steve, 'on its own merit' does not exist. It is always the viewer's choice.

When 42nd Street was waiting to be turned into Giuliani's Disneyland, there was a cinema marquee displaying 'Art is either revolution or plagiarism'. Think about it. By the way, the Seattle...

I have a quite substantial body of MF and a growing body of LF negatives, stored in clearfile plastic sleeves, inside the usual plastic boxes. Summers in New Je rsey can be quite warm and humid, and...

You may run into the following problem: it is not permitted in NYC to use a tripod on sidewalks and in parks without permit (free) from the Mayor's Office for Film, Television and Broadcast...

Peter, I bought the 150 Rodenstock Apo Sironar S at B&H for $679 last August. I have made enlargements of 30x24 inches, the lens quality is superb, and I am really not easy to please in that...

I will visit my friends who live on the top floor of a chalet in teh Alps, with not a single room or even closet without a window in the roof. Time for a film c hanging tent. I never used one before....

Tom, I can only endorse the suggestion of considering the Discovery. As there are various ways to turn this camera into a real small package, there seems little sense to the 6x9 front. I enjoy the ...

The grain size of a good film may be of the order of a few microns. The pixel size on a CCD is orders of magnitude larger. Scaling the CDD and the negative to the same size, one sees that film...

I have the impression that many large format photographers are in fact in love with their equipment, and that taking photographs is merely a celebration of this love. Which easily leads to calendar...

Wim and Andrea, thank you very much! Best from NY. Marcus

1. 4x5 film, Portra 160 NC or Fuji NPS 160: when sold in Europe, are the sizes d ifferent? 2. Holders, I use Toyo, are the sizes different in Europe? 3. In particular in the Netherlands, between...

Gursky, interview him and get him to talk technical. In view of the noise lately on this forum about the going-digital-trend and View Camera's role in this, this may be a useful illustration of...

On my Rodenstock Sironar /150mm I use a metal hood, 49mm. It is a generic Japanese product, bought at B&H for 9.95. They don't have it listed in their catalogue, perhaps they list it...

You'll find that Arca-Swiss PDF file at: www.cs.berkeley.edu/~qtluong/photography/lf/arca-swiss.html#more Good luck.

This is a very annoying situation. In my experience US airports are better than the European ones, especially the Paris and Amsterdam security officers seem to have no idea that film other than...

Matt, this is a truly good suggestion, which answers Andy's question. In fact, I planned on buying a cloth today, I guess I settle for a T-shirt. Great. Sorry B&H :) Thanks!

I just wet the base board a little, which helps tremendously to keep paper flat. Keep a towel nearby to dry your hands after wetting the board and before putting the paper on it. Good...

Thanks folks, you helped me pinning down my choice for the Apo Sironar S.

Hi LF-ers,

Bought an Arca-Swiss Discovery (at Photo Gizzmo in NYC, can highly recommend the service by Louis Shu), am thinking about a lens. Inclined to buy the Rodenstock Apo Sironar S/150mm. One...

To everyone who wrote an answer to my question:

Thank you all very much, it is really wonderful to find so many responses, after just one day!

The reason for calling a 67 to 45 move an upgrade...

Having used a medium format Pentax67 for a couple of years I want to upgrade to a 4x5. My photography demands no or little tilt or swing. I photograph outdoors, roadsides and the like, my focusing...
