It's 5 pounds without the head, a bit more with the extras. I use a leveling base with a clamp with my 5x7.

This is what I mean about keeping up.
My biggest tripod weighs 5 pounds, carbon fibre and is a Series 5 with 42mm legs.
Before I sold my 14x17 it did a great job of holding that camera. Now it's...

Had to check the calendar after reading some of the comments. Guys, it's 2022, not 1952.
You don't have to lug around 20 pound tripods any more.
I mean, more power to you if you still do it, but I...

Sekonic L-308s; $200 new, about half that for a used one. You can meter ambient and strobe.
Very small and thin, accurate and only needs one AA battery.

Another helpful gem; I'm sure happy there's an ignore button, I'm putting it to use, pronto!

I like the background a lot.

Ari, I'm sending you a message. I got a question about your scanner, but I didn't want to interrupt the discussion.

I started not long ago with LF and the camera I bought is a Toyo G series 4x5.
I think it's a great camera, and there seem to be endless ways of adding extensions, bellows and other stuff.
My...

Heh, heh; yep, the store's still there and the guy still sells guitars.
But they dropped the vacuum cleaners a few years ago and opened a pet grooming salon, so it's guitars and pet grooming now!...

Thanks, Ari; looks like a pretty darn cool system, what with the plates and the bowls. Almost sounds like you're making dinner!
I'd get the tripod with the smaller bowl system (75mm) for my 4x5...

Wow. Now this is why I joined the forum, to read posts like this.

Anyway, Ari, I have kind of a noob question: I'm so new to bowls that I've only eaten out of them; thanks to your video and...

If I understand what you guys have been saying these last few months, dsphotog's recommendation wouldn't work to keep buildings square since the back would be tilted up or down.
To keep a building...

Just a noob guess:
If your bellows is extended by almost 4x the lens' focal length, add 4 stops to the metered reading.
So f11 at 1/1000s becomes f11 at 1/60s.
Too easy? Too wrong? I'm missing...

Pretty awesome that you'd get this much in focus with a 2-year-old; heck, even a 25-year-old would be hard to make look this nice.
An impressive effort!

I like this one best; well done, Mr Tuco!

I say use it to your advantage. Tell other photographers that it's a prototype, or that it's a "speed" coating that actually makes the camera work faster!

They seem to be; I bought a 90mm Nikon, based on what I read here and elsewhere, and it was about twice the price of my 150mm.

I found a Sinaron 150 in a good shutter for about $170 USD.
I think a lot of 150mm lenses will fall into this price range.

Last month I had a look at the Pelican Air case, the larger one is the 1615, I think.
I wanted to get my lighting equipment in there, and the case definitely could handle the weight.
Rather than...

Congratulations! And lovely photo.

Of course they brought cameras, but they took all their film back to their home world.
After all, the Aztecs didn't yet know how to process film.

Cheers, Andrew.
I'm a big fan of the big guy.

Thanks, amigos; great to be here!

Nice work!

Howdy everybody,
I'm a recent adherent to LF, been shooting medium format for 10 years, just for kicks.
A tip from a friend pointed me to a good-looking Toyo 4x5 G, and it's supposed to arrive next...
