Not much happening at your end today?
Just to give you more to worry about, look at your own post count and then from your own name follow your own posts link and find that they are very...
Sounds very much to me that the implication of what the two of you are saying is that an incident meter is no good for B&W photography. I happen to think you're wrong about that and I rekon an awful...
you have calibration built onto the film by the fim manufacturer. You know it will produce a slope which will print 7 stops of range at grade 2 near as damn it. And you know that an incident is...
here's a PDF version of USAF Chart.

If you apply the principles given in the second zeiss lens article above then you should be able to measure actual resolution when chart is placed at...
Been there, done that. I spent a couple of hours or more in sand dunes trying to photograph wind blown sand formations at ground level. Wind was very strong. I had to spend the following day...
Agreed and also resolution throughout any real world subject is variable because lighting ratios and focus vary throughout the subject.
But doing these tests is all part of the learning process...
its easier to do a comparative test as opposed to an actual resolution test which requires accuracy in the scale of the target, the distance from the target and very importantly the contrast range...
is that grain or is it grains or is it grainy grains;)
just bear in mind that a 4K or 5K monitor may not be supported by the graphics card on your OLD mac book so check before you buy. There's a lot more pixels to manage in these high res monitors and...
Is it flare free? I think it depends on where and how you do your EI test. And a modern lens with a good lens hood on it may exhibit very little flare in taking conditions when out and about in the...
All I would say is to use fresh/new paper to do any tests and not some old stuff you've had lying around for years. Paper loses contrast over time and will skew your results towards over film...
That captera site that Melonian posted has a lot of other software categories that may be worth a look as well as project management and CRM

I just installed sugar and it looks pretty good. Definitely worth taking a look at. You can get the "Communuity Edition" for free.

you might also want to look at "Customer Relationship Management" software (CRM ). SugarCRM seems to be at the top of most lists and there is a free version.
CRMs are as much about keeping...
but even the figure of 15000 for the whole of the US seeems very low to me. There must be hundreds of photographers in the bigger cities and dozens in the medium size towns of 10s of thousands. The...
I have no idea what the stats are for wedding photographers or otherwise. However, I think its safe to say that the average person pretty much only ever uses paid for photographic services for...
here's a good idea which should satisfy both sides of the argument. Setup a sub fourm for posting images which people can post their images to. You can start a topic asking for images on any...
it comes without a fresnell but you can add one if you want. It fits on the outside not the inside if its the same as the technikardan I had. They are especially useful if you have the reflex viewing...

The point is that there are film makers out there wanting to keep film alive which can only be a good thing. Although given that kodak can't make their mind up whether they're into film or not I...
Maybe you were just miserable becasue it was christmas. Bah humbug !
Some film makers are trying to keep film alive for its aesthetic and the want it in the cinemas if at all possible for the enhanced visual experience.

Yup. regular members see all the images as they are posted in their respective topics. All a gallery becomes is an archive which very few people would ever trawl all the way through.
methinks looking at the photographs of that camera that the fitting is designed for linhof technika lens boards as the hole is offset downwards by the look of it.
So if you have a linhof board it...
does the camera have a centering mark/detent on the front standard. If so then position it at the centering mark and visually check if lens axis is centered on GG. If it is then all is good and...
I've seen somewhere else where it says 50-200mm so in answer to OP, yes a 90mm should be good for that camera.
correct me if I'm wrong. Field of view (what is in front of the lens) is largely dictated by focal length. Angle of coverage(what is behind the lens) is largely dictated by lens design. The two are...
back on track
well no becasue if image circle of lens A is 164mm(approx your fuji) and image circle of lens B is 108mm(approx your contax) and they are both same focal length at same aperture, then to get same...
I'm telling you that if your lens is spreading the image across a wider area it affects the exposure. The inverse square law states this. It is a physical law which you can't ignore. The lens...
I still want to know about the difference between your Fuji GX680 210/5.6 which if I'm not mistaken is designed with a larger image circle to cope with anticipated tilts and shifts which your Zeiss...
so you're saying the image circle is the same for both lenses but the DoField is different?
If they are the same and one is spread over a greater area then the exposures will be different. Are they? Simple to test with a digital back.
I don't think it will. If the flow rate is constant it will require longer for the same volume of water to hit any single point the further the pipe is away since the water will be spread more...
just to compound the argument, would both your 210 lenses actually use the same aperture for say f8. I mean, if they are both to give the same exposure at f8 would the wider circle lens require a...
I agree with what most are saying in that a 90 to 120mm lens is what you need for that camera. If you can work out what the shortest lens that will focus at infinity is for that camera, then that...
If minimum extension is only 100mm then maximum lens focal length would be approx 100mm unless you can fit a recessed lens panel. It may be that the camera was designed for use with a 90mm lens, I...
didn't bulldog make 4x5 and a 10x8 diy build cameras? Which one have you got and what are the specs for it. The spec should tell you the minimum lens extension and the maximum lens extension.

just thinking off the wall, you could coat the dibond with emulsion and print directly to it thereby removing the need to mount to it:D
