Thank you for the tip.
I found that even with bag bellows the limiting factor on how-wide-I-can-go was the center tripod mount. The physical stop prevents the two standards from coming closer than...

When I researched the world of LF, it was suggested by this bunch of folks on this forum to think through the different types of lenses I was going to want and then figure out what the largest filter...

This is badass!!! I love how you are building solutions. I've got a garage full of tools. They are dusty!!! In fact, I can't even get in there!!! I'm a loser!!!

This looks great. The cool factor to me is the 4x10 results. I never thought about an 8x10 split. That's cool too!!

I like it!!

I'm totally screwed up!!! I'm sorry. After I wrote this post I realized I DO NOT HAVE the 67mm thread version of the Fuji 150mm (which is a higher quality lens). I have the 55mm "W" version which I...

Hi. I currently shoot with a Fuji 150mm f/5.6 lens. It uses 67mm threads.

I'd like to try out a Rodenstock N 150mm f/5.6. it uses 49mm threads.

Are there any disadvantages that might go along...

This is a great question.

I've always wanted to shoot large format, but I also need to make it accessable for what I have available to me. I just can't get into the printing side of the process...

Hey folks, I went back to these images and cleaned them up and spent a bit more time editing them. One image kinda sucked and now it looks pretty good. I didn’t keep the old versions so...I guess...

Yeah, back to reality now.....

For me, I want a 4x10 camera because I think it's super cool and I love the look of that kind of photo. Problem is, I don't want to drop 2 grand getting all that...

It's a Fuji 150mm f/5.6.

It's not too bad for a first try (well third, but I don't want to talk about 1 and 2 ��)

Few things I noticed. It was correctly suggested that you need a little more...

Here is my first successful attempt at a 4x5 (three frame) stitch into what is about a 4x10 image. I don't want to talk about the first two attempts!!!

Anyway, this is a quick edit and...

Thank you!!

I just shot a 4x5 pano today of 3 shots. I hope it ends up being equivalent to a 4x10. But in light of your post, I might not have allowed enough overlap. But that's part of the...

You guys SUCK!!!

Just buy more gear....

LOL...

Interesting camera.

I never thought about analogy stitching. That sounds crazy. No, I was always thinking about simply stitching them in Lightroom or Affinity Photo.

So what a lot of you are saying is, get a...

Hi all,

I’ve been having fun shooting some high res digital pano which it a result for having 4x10 envy. So, I was thinking the poor mans solution in the film world would be to stitch together a...

Funny you ask that. Short answer is, no. Up to the very last image I took. The last shot I made was taken with a 150mm but the only area I was interested in will be my cropped final.

I'm very...

Bernice, two things that have piqued my interest.

One is, please tell me your most used long lens. I can’t guess.
The other is, dude! Pan out a bit. I gotta get the goods on the plush red duvet....

Bernice,

I'm definitely not looking for the best lens. Not even thinking about that.

All I was trying to understand was, given a say for instance, a 360mm tele lens vs a non-tele 360mm lens,...

Great info!! Many thanks as always....

Now this brings up a question, but I'll also add that I'm shooting with an Arca-Swiss F-Line Classic 171 on a 400mm rail.

Ok...so telephoto lenses do in...

Hi all. I’m starting to give up on searching the forum for information because it just turns up more questions!! So, let me just ask this one here....

I’m trying to understand the requirements for...

Haha! Awesome!

Why is the cat sleeping inside!!!!!

So I really really like the feedback. I love how you guys are tailoring your advise to my targeted interest.

I find the argument to keep using HC-110 a very sound one being it is such a good...

I don’t even remember what the original post was about! This conversation has clearly moved on. I love it.

I think I agree that there’s definitely no need to carry any lens between 90mm and 150mm....

Daniel et al,

No lecture here! I ASKED for your options. I love this feedback. I can understand where you are all coming from. There are lots of interesting tidbits in here.

Just for...

Thank you all!!

The third image was annoying. The light was amazing, but by the time I got my act together, it went flat. I shot it because I could and the light wasn’t going to get better. I used...

Ok guys, I’ve reread the thread a couple times now. Maybe this can help guide the follow up question....

First, I don’t do contact printing or enlarging. After I get my negative, I use a DSLR to...

Yeah no.

I didn’t do a lot of clean up because I just wanted to see if they were good enough to spent the time on. But let me answer your question in more detail...

All I do is make sure I blow...

Thank you for the book
Adam

Holy cow guys! You are all amazing for such detailed responses. I find I have to re-read this thread a lot to catch up to you!!!!

Hi.

If anyone is so inclined to do so, I’d appreciate some feedback on these images. I’ll give you a link at the bottom. Let me explain a bit of the process.

These shots are all on Delta 100,...

Hi all, can someone help get me straight on developing Delta 100 or Kodak TMax 100?

As I understand it, Delta 100 and TMax 100 are non T-grain films. However, I am currently using Kodak HC-110 to...

That’s really funny comment about reading first, then ask questions....after re-reading the Ansel Adam’s series of books, at least this question came to me when he talked about building a kit. Then...

Holy smokes!! Everytime I think I ask a "simple" question, you guys manage to blow it up into all kinds of detail I could never imagine existed!!

So, the question was, "Is it a linear progression...

John,

I was not looking for a progression of lenses. And yes I do follow you.

All I was trying to do was understand if I could expect a lens mathematically dead center between 90 and 150 (which...

So a lot of good points made here, but I just wanted to understand if the progression from 90mm to 150mm was linear.

I gather it is.

As for the "need" for something in the middle...idk. Yes I...

This is another great post. Puts it all together.

Thanks all for the explanation.

I love this post. Thank you Neil.

This is awesome!! Thank you!

Ok so you are "doing the math" based on field of view. And based on that would correspond to the 114mm lens. Im not even sure that exists, so a 110mm or 115mm should do the trick.
