    Re: Carbon Fiber Tripod for 8x10

    Yes, thank you for sharing Christopher's work! It's lovely.

    And I appreciate all the feedback. It seems if I were to go with a Gitzo a series three might be marginal. Rick, your mention of...

    Carbon Fiber Tripod for 8x10

    Hi all,

    Wading into the tripod conversation: I’ve got a Sinar Norma, and currently use an old aluminum Gitzo, which is plenty sturdy but both heavy and miserable to use in the cold. I’m looking at...

    Re: AGAIN! Richard Avedon’s Overwhelming Murals

    They’re really amazing. It’s a small exhibit, so it’s hard to say it justifies the trip, but well worth it if you’re already here. Does anyone know who actually printed them?

    Re: The betterscanning.com business status thread

    Update: Doug got in touch, the purchase went smoothly, and my holders arrived. Fortunately, if shooting LF has taught me anything, it’s patience. All worked out in the end.

    Re: post alternative techniques

    Lovely image! I'm curious how you like working with the Bergger COT 160. I've been looking for something lighter weight, and the price sure is right.

    Re: Vacuum Frame Question

    Some cursory googling shows a fair number of reasonably priced ones for sale on Amazon and the like. Obviously, something that doesn’t leak oil is appealing. But what should one look for in a pump?...

    Re: 450 mm Nikkor-M vs. Symmar-S 480 mm

    That’s very good to know! Glad I just need to keep an eye out for any model in good shape (with cables), and don’t have to look for the Norma one specifically, as those seem harder to find. Thank you...
