  1. Re: Software for Converting Scanned Color Negatives

    I tried DXO and I had too many issues with my TIFFs loading. C1 is pretty great and since it's my only software cost, and I usually skip every other version, I'm not TOO concerned with the cost......
  2. Re: Software for Converting Scanned Color Negatives

    I use Capture One and Affinity Photo (Scans from VueScan), and have been experimenting with different ways of doing the inversions... It doesn't have to be all that difficult... and it seems to do...

    Re: Tripod Head Recommendations for 4x5

    There’s a Benro geared head (they inly have the one) that does a decent job. It could be a touch more robust, but when I bought it I had no interest in buying a $400 head also. Pretty sure the Bento...
  6. Re: Is it .27 or .30 when figuring out a focal length - Which one do you use?

  7. Re: Is it .27 or .30 when figuring out a focal length - Which one do you use?

    In fairness, I'm falling victim to the thing I'm calling out in the 150mm as "normal" argument for 4x5 and working off of those assumptions because that is what I've shot for over 20yrs... either...
  8. Re: Is it .27 or .30 when figuring out a focal length - Which one do you use?

    Unless you are accustomed to working with 35mm to the point where you want to have a reference for eyeballing, which was the point for me... For instance when I first shot with the 162mm that came on...
  9. Re: Is it .27 or .30 when figuring out a focal length - Which one do you use?

    I divide my 4x5 lens by 3.75... That gets me to a place where things "feel" right, regardless of the exact comparison... So my 150 is just wider than "Normal", my 65 feels pretty dang close to a 17mm...
  10. Re: Question Regarding 35mm/MF lenses for Macro on 4x5

  11. Re: Question Regarding 35mm/MF lenses for Macro on 4x5

    I in no way considered it an easy question. It was a question that I lacked any idea of where to start. Beyond asking if any had tried it and if there were directions to be pointed towards.

  12. Re: Question Regarding 35mm/MF lenses for Macro on 4x5

    Is it not the point to learn? At least that was in large point the reason for moving from 35mm to MF to now LF... since it all ties in somehow. Beyond that is all started in Non-Linear Post...
  13. Re: Question Regarding 35mm/MF lenses for Macro on 4x5

    This is promising.



    In this particular train of thought, I'm definitely thinking super macro... well above 1:1... based on what I was thinking... 3:1 - 5:1... depending on the lens in...
  14. Re: Question Regarding 35mm/MF lenses for Macro on 4x5

    I'm definitely not "set on it"... since as of right now, I have no way of mounting a lens to a board. But the idea of the wider lenses in macro space is appealing. I've had lots of fun shooting the...

  21. Re: Anyone with a Cambo 8x10 answer a question regarding min/max bellows?

    So the SC2, SCX and SCN (45) the standards are indented both ways… so they can be fully turned around… Which I imagine is for this very purpose

  22. Re: Anyone with a Cambo 8x10 answer a question regarding min/max bellows?

    If you are able to turn the entire rear standard/block around that’ll get you part of the way there… or do the standards on the legend not come off the rail?
