I just wanted to say that I am very pleased with the latest issue of View Camera. The quality of the images are amazing; they are sharp, colorful and well placed. I actually read all the articles...
Although I've only been subscribing to VC as of recently, here is my impression:
- Given the quality of the magazine, 6 issues for $25 is a good deal. I don't even understand why some of you are...
My vision is fine; last time I checked (which was in february of this year) I had 20/20 vision.
If you seriously think that there is a noticable difference between an 8x10 contact print and a 8x10...
I don't think I can take anyone seriously, who say that the largest "decent" prints that one can obtain from 4x5 is 11x14. I've seen 24x30 inch prints made fom 4x5 that show NO GRAIN at all, even at...
I've never tried stacking filters, because I'm always worried about vignetting and degradation of image quality. But it also gets confusing when it comes to metering, so I usually just stick to one...
(1) Has anyone shot wide-open with the 75 Super Angulon? I'm thinking of shooting some very long night exposures (star trails) using 100 speed color film, which is the only film I have at the...
I personally don't see a difference between the V700 scan and the V750 scan. Are both of those scanners using the same optics and just come with different software or what's the deal?
Oops, I meant to say it has "70mm" imprinted on it, not 67!
I noticed something similar today with my 75 SA. Since my last post regarding lens caps, I went ahead and ordered the Kaiser caps from B&H. After putting the cap on the lens, I noticed that there...
What I'd personally like to see is mail notifications that appear more like "real" mail.
For example, I use Gmail to read my e-mail. Gmail creates little tabbed conversations, so you don't have a...
wg, I've never shot LF negative film before. I'm considering of giving it 160S/C a try, although (as I said before), I'm not sure if it can beat Astia in resolution.
wg,
That's very interesting. I wonder how resolution plays into this. If we compare the datasheets of 160S (or 160C) and Astia 100F, we get:
160S/160C:
Test-Object Contrast...
Additionally, I think those numbers for Velvia are slightly inflated. The high saturation and contrast also takes blows out some of the detail. I agree that Astia appears sharper.
Yep, I realized this too after returning home and measuring the lens. I didn't order the 57mm cap after all.
Schools that are big on this stuff include Yale, Univ of Oregon in Eugene, and Univ of California at Bezerkley.
Frank - as a student at the UO, I agree that the architecture school here is big on...
Thanks Robert, that actually did help. I ordered 70mm and 57mm lens caps. The rear of the 75mm SA seems to be 64mm, but I could only find a 65mm cap. Maybe it'll work.
Hey folks,
Where could I get lens caps for a 180mm Nikkor-W and a 75mm Super Angulon (not XL)? I know the front takes 67mm filters, so I need to buy 68mm caps (B&H seems to carry those). ...
Hugh,
It's funny that you ask this question - this last weekend I decided to shoot some Astia 100F instead of Velvia. I sorta gotten burned on my last few Velvia 100 (not F) shots, where the...
Tim, thanks for posting this. I guess I don't have to worry about it afterall.
This just makes me angry. It's bad enough that we have Homeland Security types giving us a hard time photographing buildings in cities.
They need to define what "certain still photography...
Thanks everyone - these were exactly the types of answers I was looking for. I shoot my 55mm Grandagon without a centerfilter (B&W) and don't find the light fall-off to be that much of a problem. ...
I just ordered this lens from KEH; it was listed as LN- so I'm guessing it's in near mint condition.
I'm wondering how the sharpness and light fall-off on the edges is, compared to its Rodenstock...
I just came across this website:

How can you possibly expect to extract optimal results from any film
The results from my lab have been very consistent, and I know exactly how the negatives will turn out. I also know that they...
I personally think Tmax 400 is one of the worst films ever made, but I guess to each their own. I use Delta 100 for all my B&W work. Once the lab develops it, I scan the sheets and adjust the...
I think Lenny mistakingly read "why" as "who" :)
@paulr:
Xen is probably the best type of virtualization framework available today. The performance hit is around 2%, unlike other solutions like VMware where performance is lost by 20-28%. At my...
Why would one even want Provia 400 in LF sizes?
When shooting star trails with landscape. It's nice being able to stop down to get better DOF, without all the stars going dark because of...
Isn't this kinda old news?
There is no word on a 4x5 version yet, so it's pretty useless to me.
- 3lb laptops are common and cheap for someone buying a $30K back.
I'm not sure if they're that common. Here is a short list of high-end laptops that would be suited for this type of equipment...
These images aren't all that impressive for having spent $40K.
I still don't understand how people can say that the digital back is cheaper in long-term. I shoot maybe 300 4x5 images a year. ...
I've shot both 50 and 100. I must say that I like 100 better in terms of grain and contrast. The old 50 is too contrasty for my taste. With 100, I always get good contrast and color (I see no...
Jack,
I live in Eugene, so I'm mostly familiar with the central coast and central part of the state. If you're willing to drive a few hours, the Three Sisters Wilderness is extremely scenic. ...
John -
I have a similar setup to Scott's. I use a Lowepro Photo Trekker AW II. I can fit one Canon 20D with two lenses (17-35 & 50mm), and a Toyo 45AII and three lenses (55, 110, 180) in there. ...
Hopefully you're lucky, and that 80 SSXL won't develop schneideritis :)
I've seen this in fashion shots mostly, where part of the model's face is in focus (i.e. the eyes), but everything else is blurred out. Here are some examples I found on Google:

The same is true for Portland. Last week I was walking all over downtown taking pictures. No one ever said anything to me, yet alone harassed me. I even went on a bridge and took this picture:

There are two things that confuse me in this article:
