From all your coments on this thread, it appears you're quite happy with everything that is YOUR way and have only supplied reasons to not explore this spot meter or PMM. Thanks for being a troll.

No thank you.

If your metering method works, then keep using it. As I said in previous posts, PMM may not be for everyone. Also, I managed to try and convey my preference without informing the...

When I shot the zone system I also tried to capture the most information and then print how I wanted it to look. I had some easy successes, but most of the time the prints I wanted took a lot longer...

This is exactly why I sought out other methods of metering.

With the zone system I kept trying to keep all the detail in both highlights and shadows (that's why it was designed in the first...

Free documentation, not that I'm aware of. If your metering technique works well for you then I wouldn't bother changing it around. The zone system and I had a rocky relationship so I was in search...

It uses his technique to precicely place values where you want them, vs where they fall on the zone system. A typed explination beyond that wouldn't do his online class justice and would cause more...

I had been using the zone system for about 6 years and was a skeptic about Nick's class. However I'll admit that his method works better for me (maybe not everyone), and has dramatically increased...

Long exposure on 8x10 x-ray film of some local fireweed. I didn't realize until development that during the exposure it wilted due to the heat from the lamps.

I've used Quality Light Metric in the past with great service. They're out of CA.

+1 for pentax spotmeter. You'll notice after research that a lot of books and courses related to shooting film rely heavily on a spot meter. There is a reson for this as it gives the most accurate...

Last year I spent some time around northern AZ and southern UT with my 4x5 and ended up skipping all the slot canyons that had a no tripod policy. These tours typically are overpriced and rushed...

Peter, I would disagree with the superiority of scanning vs DSLR system. Unless you are doing macro work on a copy stand and using multiple images then stacked in PS your image quality in my...

Just my 2 cents here, but if you are only looking for web display and 8x10 max, a single image from your DSLR of the negative on a cheap light pad would me more than sufficient for those purposes. ...

I've been sending E-6 and C-41 4x5 and 8x10 sheets there for a couple years with 0 issuses.

I originally purchased the F.64 backpack and was underwhelmed with the quality and space it provided. I ended up going with the Lowepro 650, described with pictures in this thread:

I do clamp it right to the tripod, though I don't shoot in heavy wind with rain. In a calm rain (straight down) it works wonders if you have a heavy tripod.

I use a clamping golf umbrella for 8x10 : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BHJFSV7/ref=twister_B07CJ827ZT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I use a compact umbrella with this clamp for 4x5 :...

Just got the prices. 699 Euro for the basic and 799 Euro for the advanced.

He recently added a new video about this camera, with a 'special offer'. Again, just passing along the info.

I nearly fell off my seat laughing. Thank you.

I'm not associated with the company, just passing on the info. I don't see the cost listed anywhere either.

Thank you very much for the information.

Agree with the above, also REI will have a good selection (and a 1 year return policy for members). If you want the most stout boot look at limmerboot.com . I have had a pair of their standard and...

Anyone?

Does anyone use a Fujinon T 400mm on an Intrepid 4x5? I'm wondering how stable it is on the front standard, and even though the camera should support it with bellows draw, does it?

Thanks.

I did take a look at the 600 but I wanted the side pockets for the dark cloth and accessories. I originally had the tripod on the back center, but the tripod was a bit too heavy to be so far mounted...

I do feel it was very comfortable over the 12 miles, even with all 4 lenses (including a Nikkor W 360). I really thought about using a hiking backpack like some folks are saying, but having to pull...

I have been shooting 4x5 for a while now and have a great backpack setup that allows me and my OCD to keep everything separate and organized in one case (lowepro whistler 450). I recently moved into...

Edwin, there are many youtube videos on the subject that can give you a visual idea of how the process is accomplished. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=4x5+film+loading . When I first...
