Neither. It doesn't imply anything.

I take my 5x7 Nagaoka into the field because it would be sheer lunacy to lug my 5x7 Sinar P. The Nagaoka is a pleasure to carry and use on the fly; the...

Usually go out with two lenses - 210 Sironar-N and 150 Apo-Sironar (W). If only one lens, 180 Apo-Sironar-S. Have also used my 90/6.8 Caltar II-N (Grandagon) on occasion when I've been in the mood...

Older-style Nagaoka. Bellows draw, movements and rigidity adequate for my purposes. Very compact when folded. Weighs ~3.75 pounds. Sets up and takes down in seconds, with an action so simple I...

I wonder whether any of the companies still selling meters new - e.g. Sekonic (MAC Group in the US), Gossen, Kenko, Spectra Cine - could tell us whether they have anyone they refer to for older...

What are your negatives telling you?

Agree on both counts - one size doesn't fit all, and if you need it, and your photographic tasks lend themselves to it, then by all means!

+1.

One of the hazards of this kind of discussion is that people extrapolate from what you say to argue against things you didn't say and didn't mean. Yes, I make that mistake too sometimes.

I cannot know a photographer's unverbalized intent. Ultimately all I can say is whether something works for me.

Some of this debate is really about what kinds of effects should be considered...

I didn't say, and don't believe, that there's anything wrong with people who understand how tilts/shifts work using them to produce visual effects that they want. My point simply was, and remains,...

Bingo!

I've been at this game for 25 years now. It's been many years since I last used any swing or tilt. The kinds of pictures I take have things sprouting all over the place, and the main effect of...

Some have a receiver built in, some don't and will need a physical connection between receiver and sync socket. Need to check the specs on the particular packs you're considering.

Modern 4 x 5 plastic film holders generally record an actual image area of about 96 x 120 mm. You can check that against the size of your ground glass.

More like 265 mm if you allow for the border, with some variation for different brands of holder. That's enough to make a difference as many of the lenses mentioned are right on the edge of that. ...

No problem, don't need to remove - just say what the lens is in each case so that readers can look up those lenses and subtract the lens weight if they want an estimate of the body-only weight. It's...

We'll survive - let's just try to keep it focused, so to speak, going forward. No point missing out on the relevant information that people have already put a fair bit of effort into contributing. ...

It's a matter of personal taste, but 210 feels a lot tighter than "35mm" to me on 4x10 because the vertical coverage corresponds to more like 53mm-equivalent.

Anyway, I use a 150 Computar, stopped...

Threads merged - let's pick up where we left off.

Needs a whole lot more than a "lens", and the fidelity leaves something to be desired, but just for the amusement:

https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/looking-around-corners/overview/

Best to keep movements out of it until the basic concepts of focus behavior are adequately understood, else one doesn't really understand what is and isn't being accomplished with movements.

DOF theory does not imply that everything within the calculated limits is uniformly sharp. Simply from the laws of optics, the degree of unsharpness necessarily increases as you move away from the...

That's how I approach it as well.

It's not correct and it's not reliable.



It doesn't hold true for any camera.

Threads merged.

qinghua: Please don't start start threads with the same question in more than one subforum... thanks.

The more extension you add, the more important it becomes to re-center the tripod block. Yes, this is a judgment call, and depends also on the stability of your tripod legs and head.

I have a 4x5 F2 currently configured as a wide angle camera, using only a 6-inch rail section and the bag bellows. That works well, but a big advantage from my perspective is that I put it on the...

A topic of continuing interest! Threads merged.

This thread is down to unproductive noise at this point, so I'm going to close it. As always, feel free to start a new Feedback thread if you have questions or concerns you'd like to raise for a...

No problem, this is an appropriate place.

The Photographers' Formulary is showing 4L plastic bottles in stock:

EDIT: Oops - my bad,...

You contacted me on April 5, 2019, and I responded. This was the entire exchange:

campy: Can you tell me why my ad was deleted?

Oren: You posted the same listing on April 1.

campy: Sorry...

We have never pulled a listing because someone didn't put FS in the title. There would have to have been some other reason. If anything is unclear about a particular action, please ask.

EDIT: ...

There are many, many threads about scanning in the Digital Hardware and Digital Processing subforums. Please read those and follow up there if you have questions.

I've merged the threads and moved to "New Products".

OK, that helps a lot.



Can't say for sure, but I would be optimistic that somewhere you can find the right mix of capture and printing services to get good quality prints done within that...

Look for labs that offer one or more of the following:

* Fine art repro services
* Large-format flatbed scanning services (Epson 10000XL/11000XL/12000XL, Screen Cezanne, IQsmart, Eversmart)
*...

I've moved the thread to "Style & Technique" and given it a new title that more clearly conveys what you're interested in.

< removes moderator hat >

It's wonderful that you will be able to do...

For maximum quality this requires either contact printing on to silver-gelatin paper in the darkroom, or scanning to a digital file using a large flatbed scanner or stitched captures off a light...

The 4x5 is still available. There is an 8x10 as well, no 5x7 so far. These are actually made by Mike Walker for Harman, so he might be the one to ask for more information.

I too am interested in...

With RC paper, finish your wash, set the print(s) aside to dry, and then start on your next print. Do not leave prints in the wash for extended periods. The optimal workflow is very different from...
