Me too, great portrait. If you ask me why, I would a day or two to find the words which wouldn’t be too clichee
+1. I don’t understand the question either, so this post is just meant to get some more words around it. After ~40 years of photography I have become more and more convinced that a lot of photography...
+1, except following the rate of growth of the world population
Oh I don’t build in advance. The first time I started I have chosen a general lay-out, background colors, styles and so on in zenfolio. Then you can make galleries with certain themes and I add my...
Hi Iga, I don’t know X3 and don’t know what you mean with your ‘but’ about it. But I am quite happy with Zenfolio and have no problems with uploading, locally or unlocally (?). My criteria for...
Very nice!
+1, mostly 3 seconds actually. That is way less than judging your image with centre filter on your groundglass. Of course if you work with color or B&W negative and work purely analogue from start to...
I don’t see the problem anyway, because what’s your end product? Just the Velvia 50? I doubt that. You will mostly make a scan from it, won’t you? In that case you can easily postprocess with the...
Looks very sturdy and precise, congrats and thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for that!
Ok, I agree, maybe my text was a bit suggestive towards anti dodging and burning, which is not the case. And I do work myself with local contrast and split grading. Nevertheless, a good start is half...
No, this bag is not exactly fit for 4x5”. I have the Osprey Farpoint 40. For smaller formats I hate backpacks. For me it’s either slow, or fast. For photography that needs a quick grab I use shoulder...
A good print starts with a good negative. The less appropriate the negative given the light circumstances, the more hassle with dodging and burning. And a negative is good if it is in line with your...
Yes in the Americas it doesn’t seem very known, but B&H does sell some of their products. Let’s hope it won’t last long before the whole line will be better available outside Europe
My workflow is like Drew’s. My logistics are based on the idea that there is no time to pack at the moment I want to leave. Any photoshoot happens with my open backpack. It contains everything and...
Hello Karin, since you’re focusing on film now I can warmly recommend the new ADOX CHS 100 ii developed in fx39 ii. It’s the first reasonably priced 4x5 film that for me beats the more expensive...
Great still indeed!
I would never leave for a hike without the loupe and dark cloth and in landscape I mostly use them, in architecture always of course. But for the first phase of positioning the camera and composing...
Yes I own it and for me it works much easier than the folding viewer with carbon cover. It focuses perfectly for me. It’s a bit bulky in my backpack but it’s worth it above the time-consuming dark...
Great!
Very nice! What film did you use?
Without focus knob this camera is doable for landscape-everything-sharp only. That’s not what I’m looking for in LF. LF is for me mainly about selective sharpness, oblique focus plane, bokeh, etc....
I’m sorry for Kodak, but I had exactly these spots too with my TriX in brand new holders from Chamonix. Not developed in Rodinal but HC110 B. Could not find the cause in my workflow. Didn’t have that...
There is no perfect camera. I do like working with my ChamonixF2. If I would have to name its imperfection it is stability and its aptness to bear heavy lenses. But with this camera I can make nice...
Every picture tells a story :), although this is a more the making of... Nice story and recognizable how one can struggle with perspective and space in interior photography indeed.
I don’t mean to stop you on your way to a Chamonix, I own one myself with pleasure. But it’s better to know the market before you buy instead of afterwards. I wonder if you have seen Gibellini, quite...
Thanks to this forum I recently bought a Voigtländer Heliar 210, where I already owned a Schneider 210. They are very complementary to each other, the Heliar for portrait and beautiful bokeh, the...
In my former period of LF, in the nineties, I found the Sironar lenses in general a tiny bit softer in sharpness (and/or contrast?). But you are comparing a much more modern APO with a non-MC,...
The seller, Hugo Zhang, is a member of this forum and will be happy to explain if you mail him.
You can see that on flickr if you search for this lens. I don’t know what this would tell you exactly because scanning is an important intermediate step before it comes with on our screens
I once owned a Technika iv or v and now have the Chamonix F2. The sizes of the two when folded are comparable. Sometimes I think back to that Linhof, because once folded, you can throw it around...
Here it is in stock:

I can’t complain either, indeed from 6x7 and up, perfect. I wouldn’t know what would be better to buy new for a reasonable price though. In this forum you can find a convincing plea for Howtek, but I...
I do that with Pancro400 too, since I once saw what came off
Great work Thad, I especially like the depth in the last B&W one
I made this with A Chamonix F2, Heliar 210, Adox chs 100 ii in FX 39 ii. The flowers were given to my wife by my son and his girlfriend because she sewed new pouches for the pillows of their couch.
