Most I know don't use solar cells as they're bulky, less reliable, and kind of a hassle. I carried an anker 20000 then the 10000 then back to the 20000 when the 10000 stopped and I carried a small...

Trekkin, when did you hike the AT? Is there somewhere you've posted your work from the trail that I could check out?

Two things that make me think it might be feasible: I'll be hiking with my...

Any specific medium format recommendations that are pretty bulletproof and could stand up to some serious conditions?

Thanks for the well wishes! You raise a lot of good issues and these are all things I’m still trying to weigh. I’ve mentioned before this isn’t my first hike of this kind so I do have somewhat of an...

That’s a great idea! I’ll certainly see if there’s a way I can manage that!

I did carry a digital camera the first time but found myself yearning for film. You’re right that digital is far more practical but since I have an idea what I’m getting into I think I can pull it...

I'm planning a second hike of the PCT though the AT is definitely on my list! I also see a lot of mediocre portraiture from the trail which I'm not super interested in—I'm more inspired by the early...

Looking at them right now and I think that might be a great choice! Thanks popdoc.

Thanks for the recommendation Bob! It's going on the list of potential cameras!

Thanks for the reply Corran. A couple things about the cameras you recommended is that those seem quite challenging to shoot handheld where as the Linhof master technika has the rangefinder. I do...

Hi all. I'm pretty new to large format photography but very quickly falling in love am looking to explore options for a camera to bring with me backpacking and need some guidance. The hike I'm...

Hey thanks! Do you have any tips for how to mount negatives for a V600?

I make levels adjustments and then move the negative but dont change the settings so in theory it should be the same right?

Thanks Dugan I appreciate it!

Thank you for the advice. I don't think the issue is with the development—my negative looks solid—i think you're correct it's an issue with the scanning but that's something I don't really know how...

Brand new to LF, this is the fourth photograph I've made. Fujinon 150/5.6, Intrepid 4x5 mkIV, Ilford Hp5 at box speed developed in ID-11 and shoddily scanned and stitched together on my Epson V600....
