Hi,

I like this image a lot Geoff, great architecture and tones.
Thanks for the linguistic history, I knew that coming here would give me some more interesting results than pondering over maps. The mistake will not be made again, I understand it is a difficult...
Not another California question!
I'm going to be doing a quick 2 week road trip through central/southern California, planning on hitting Joshua Tree, Sequoia/Kings Canyon and then up highway 1 to...
Ari, it doesn't have a bubble level unfortunately. I just use a torpedo level or the levels on my camera.
This it true, and will have an affect, but I find that large format monorail cameras...
I have a simple EZ Leveler. If you`re looking for an alternative to the Manfroto 338. It is easier to use the levelling nuts, and I have it on a Gitzo with the Manfrotto 410 on top for 4x5.
Just...
If anyone is looking to get some shots of the Northern Lights but doesn't want to venture up to northern Canada, it looks like tomorrow night might be a good chance. Grab the reciprocity tables!

...That's when I realize I left the rear element lens cap on...
Thanks for the help.
Thinking about it a little more that does make the most sense for it to be at the film holder. The leaks look similar to when I accidentally pulled a dark slide. Also the...
Hi,
I've had a couple problems with light leaks with my Arca-Swiss F series camera. It's an isolated problem that has only ruined a few photos so far (a few too many though), and I was just...
Hey Boinzo,
I'm not sure if you have seen this thread for Portra 160 & 400 (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?106441-Portra-160-and-400-Reciprocity-Failure), but it might...
I generally think of 6x12 and 6x17 as LF too. The approach to photography for these formats would be more similar to LF than MF, and require mainly LF equipment (and a significant portion of it is...
I traveled from Canada to Eastern Europe a couple months ago with Portra 160, and Provia 100f. When in Canada they were understanding and swabbed the film instead of x-ray, other countries weren’t as...
Just an update on the Chicago Sun Times and Chicago Tribune (who maintains a photo staff). The following article compares the two papers covering similar stories within Chicago.

Arca Swiss B, 210mm. Fuji Provia 100f, 4x5.
I hadn't used chromes before this, and I'm pretty happy that I didn't blow out the clouds...
There should be more of a drift towards meaningful critique, this forum has a lot of experience, and people who know a good picture and how to improve, or refine one. If someone posts a picture here...
The older lenses don't have a sharp cut off, so you might not notice the gradual loss on the GG as you do movements but if you blow it up you will. Makes it difficult to know when you are in the...
I have an Arca Swiss lens board that adapts to a Linhof lensboard, like this.
This way I keep the lenses on their own Linhof boards (one of which is a recessed board), they take up far less room...
I Live in Fredericton, NB and right now I have to take my C-41 120 film to Ivan's in Moncton to get it developed, I haven't asked them about 4x5 though because I've mainly been shooting E6 (Saint...
I live on the east coast and there are no options for E6 over here so I've been sending my stuff to http://Torontoimageworks.com and have been happy with the results. They give a 10% discount when...
I haven't seen it on here yet, but I use the Polaris Dual 5. It isn't the 1% spot meter, but I find that the 5% does just fine for me. It's light weight and small, I think at least half the size of...
Me standing with my Arca Swiss 4x5 at the bottom of a canyon in Cappadocia, Turkey
I just got back from a solo trip carrying this guy on my back for a month in Turkey and a quick spin through...
I like this one a lot Nate.
Hi Mathieu,
I'm waiting for the negatives back so I don't have anything from that trip yet (just got back a week and a half ago). I'll post a link once I get them all scanned. It was my first time...
I was just Backpacking around Turkey with my 4x5. To be honest I took maybe 3 pictures while I was in Istanbul over 3-4 days, mainly because I had just spent 3 weeks busing/hitchhiking around the...
