This was mounted to an electron microscope for about 2 years, in a dry technical room for around 20 years, the nearest salt water sea coast is about 400 km away, and to my knowledge it has not taken...
Well, this is an interesting development, the stuff on the lens is actually a water soluble salt, not a mold. I did multiple analysis techniques, and had a long chat with a biology professor about...
It is indeed designed for 4x5 sheet film. however its not indented for infinite focus, its a fixed focus CRT recording camera. Im quite sure that at infinite it wont cover anything much larger then a...
So, i got some new toys, part of which was a 4x5 fixed focus large format camera.
After having removed the camera from its CRT (it photographs a CRT), i noticed this oddity on the lens. I have no...
Also i must correct my self, its on the lower left corner, i had the loading slot facing away from me, that's why i wrote right. Sorry about the confusion. I am a bit tired at the moment, and such...
Also acording to this sheet: http://www.mattosbornephotography.com/film_chart.jpg the film is Ektachrome, well the one in the Tmax box anyway. As the notch in that chard looks exactly like the one my...
I have just made a very interesting discovery, the box of supposedly T-MAX 100 film is not what it says on the box, according to the notch on the one sheet i sacrificed to practice loading film...
Well i found a 4x5 film holder loaded with 2 sheets of apparently exposed film. However i have no clue as to what film it might be. The labeling on the holder says Krome, and another on the dark...
thnaks for your help! also thank you pj1860 for the chart! Well ill see if the image turned out good in about 2 weeks, when i get home and also get the film back from the lab.
The title might be slightly missleading, well here are my problems that i have had with 2 shots on my Super Speed Graphic.
Shot one, i was shooting a waterfall with a low sun, thus it was in the...
Well here is an update, i decided to go with the Sekonic l758, as it only cost 40 bucks more then a used 558 (with pocket wizard transmitter), since i do not need that i went with the 758, and it...
I did test the DSLR as a spot meter before, using Ektar 100, in most shots the images were about 1 stop under exposed. Funny enough the shot i thought i fried by over exposing it turned out fine. I...
Well im in a bot of an annoying situation at the moment, i will be going to the German Alps next week, and well... The Sekonic L558 Spot meter i was going / by the time you guys read this post, have...
I am currently trying to decide on a good spot meter for all my camera systems. And so far i have settled on the Sekonic L558 spot meter. Well as it happens, i was browsing ebay again to find one...
That is excellent! Has anyone ever compared the schneider Symmar-S 135mm to a Nikkor W 135mm? Since im currently stuck between getting either one or the other. I will be shooting landscapes with it.
Well then i think i will get the lens then. As i dont currently see myself reselling the lens anytime soon, i don't think it will be a problem.
I didn't feal like writing the full question in the title, but i came across a Schnerider Symmar-S Lens on Ebay a few days ago, when i looked at the picture i saw some white dots around the perimeter...
Also how would the Nikkor W 135mm/F5,6 compare to a Schneider Symmar-S 135mm f5.6?
Thank you for clearing my misconceptions about the Nikkor W series lenses!
I will defiantly consider getting one now.
Can anyone link a full size scan (1200dpi would do), so i can check the...
Well the title say quite a lot, dosnt it. I am looking for a lens to replace the Rodenstock Optar 1000 Lens that came with my Super Speed Graphic. This is due to me wanting to use the Lee filter...
8I have actually considered getting one or two of them to protect the film while in the actual Aeroplane. However my concern is that the TSA might want to open the film boxes if i were to store them...
Well as the title will no doubt as, is it possible to get 4x5 sheet film threw the TSA on the way out from America. What i am worried about is the film getting hazy due to the X-Ray machines used to...
Well thank you for the Timely Feedback on the lens! Based on what you guys have told me i did not bid on the Lens.
Thank you for the feed back, i will most likely buy the Grandagon-N anyway (as it is rather inexpensive in my opinion, only 220 euros). The camera i bought comes with a 135mm Rodenstock lens (not...
Well i am new to Large format photography and just ordered my first 4x5 camera, a Super speed Graphic.
I have shot film in the past, usually 35mm and medium format film. I usually shoot landscapes,...
