Hello,

Aside from B&H, who else has a ready supply of ULF film formats for Bergger and Ilford films, I need 12x20?

Thanks! James

Yes, yes and yes again, take the LF gear and use it!! I was in Chamonix (about 90 minutes from where you will be) in 1999 and wasnt able to take the LF gear. You don't really need a photo guide, ...

What about something like the fixed focus Hobo style camera, no bellows movement needed.

This is not a comment in pro or con to digital LF work. Just curious, because to the best of my knowledge the largest digital sensor back only captures a max of a 6x6cm image. While you certainly ...

Personally, and I am sure this will draw some fire, I believe there is no such thing as a "portrait" lens. There is no reason why you can't use your Ektar, Optar or other lens of choice. The...
