I normally just use the Rocket Blower. If it does not go away, like for instance an accidental fingerprint, pollen that gets stuck, or anything in general that cannot be blown away, I use a Lenspen....
Both my 110XL and 80XL allow for the aperture selector to go beyond the aperture scale, however the aperture blades are not visible from the front element of the lens when set to the maximum aperture...
Yesterday I received an Ex+ copy in Copal 0 shutter from KEH. The aperture scale goes from f/5.6 to f/32, but I can move the aperture selector further left or right of the scale. What surprised me is...
That's the law of diminishing returns. A marginal increase in something (in this case, sharpness) comes at a great increase in cost. Now the question each one has to answer is "Is it worth it for me?"
Welcome CM! There are plenty of photo opportunities around Boston metro, many of them accessible by car. I am quite new into LF myself, but I am enjoying it very much.

What a great app! I used to carry a cheat sheet with reciprocity tables and used a calculator to figure out bellows extensions and filter factors. Not anymore! Now what I need are some good gloves...

I am not selling my F6!! I don't want to give up the convenience of matrix metering and AF just yet ;) It also clocks exposures up to an hour, which is a joy for night photography. And it has a...
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and advice!
It is a pity that I missed the ROG at Middlesex, CT. The online pictures look truly amazing and I can only imagine the "real deal", to look at the...
Excellent. Thanks for the tip!
No, I haven't yet. So far, I have bought all my equipment online: Adorama, B&H, KEH and eBay. Is there anything in particular you would recommend of them?
I started shooting APS-C digital, then tried 35mm film with a Nikon F6, and was amazed by the image quality of slides on a light table. I continued to MF with a Mamiya 6mf, and the joy of seeing...
