I've used 'anti-glare' styrene, which has a frosted side to minimize reflections for a frame in bad lighting.
Just cut down to the right size, clipped the corners, and marked my grids.

Thanks! Sorry my circles were so long and bothersome. Ok, won't do haha.
That's the plan! Thanks again!
AHHHH DON'T START ME AGAINNNNNN ;)
Oh gracious wow. Speaking of kicking yourself geez.
AHAH!!! I finally get it!! It's the size changing that had me throwed. I was worried about luminous density from the subject but not on the...
The fact that the math works out is why I'm asking all these questions. If the math didn't work out then I'd just throw my hands up, meter something, and hope my negatives come out.
No,...
Isn't that based on a 'correct' metering system though, i.e. a system looking to put faces on zone VI, deepest shadow detail on zone III, etc? Something looking for avg. zone V would say a black dog...
Oh sorry, I didn't phrase that very clearly. What I meant by lenses giving an exposure was a lens passing enough light to properly expose a film to a given density.
This is all just idle...
WARNING!!
In this thread I'm questioning things people have proven to be true not only by math and science but also by practice. It will not seem logical. If you want to close the tab and go about...
oh duh duh I was forgetting that I'm so smart haha
slightly different question (I think different?):
Do lightmeters measure total amount of light or light density? A softbox with, let's say, 3...
Wait now I'm further confused lol.
f/8 for any two different focal lengths is the same light input total. Isn't it kinda like slow, wide river or fast, narrow river?
A 3000000mm f/8 is picking up...
Woah that site has a wealth of information. Thank you! I always found CF really confusing but this is super helpful.
Wait but doesn't this not work? f/8 on a 90mm lens is a lesser transmittance than a a f/8 150mm, because the 150mm lens is a narrower FOV.
Both transmit the same total amount of light but with a...
Sweet ok that sounds like a neat little kit. Thanks!
True, although it's still irksome to be carrying item that weight 2 or 3 times what they need to to function. I think it's because Philmont needs to have everything last through multiple seasons of...
Ah ok. Lucky him!
Oh good to know! How much have you found it's non-folding design to be a nuisance while backpacking? Also, that picture under the wharf is great!
It is!! Have you been? If so, what area were you in and did you take any photos?
Same! Looking at it I would expect 8 or more pounds but it's mostly air I guess haha.
As for excessive weight: on some past trips I've done with the boys scouts they made us carry all sorts of...
Ok, coolio. Thanks!
Ok, thanks! Looks like I need one of the hourglass lenses, hmm.............
Thanks to all for you input!
It's a real brick. It's 4lb 3oz with GG, the movements are all heavy and rather finicky, the rail extensions don't lock easily, and I wouldn't trust the rear standard anything but locked off. I'm...
Hey there,
I'm new to the LF game and I have a few questions about 90mm lenses.
As far as I can tell there are lenses like the Fujinon f/8 which are huge, and lenses like the Schneider f/6.8...
I was joking about stream development xd that sounds like a nightmare.
I thought a lot about 2x3 but I use non-N development a lot. Unless I had several backs going at once(N, N+1, N-1, etc) that...
I'll see about finding a dark_room. Worst comes to worst I'll change in a bag or whatever but I'd really rather not.
I don't yet have that many empty film boxes because I'm fairly new to 4x5 but I...
The Crown graphic is nearly 5 times as heavy, and doesn't offer as many movements. If I need to settle for a graphic I will but I think the Intrepid is a better option.
The other reason I'd like...
Maybe this is stupid, but.....
If my camera's maximum bellows doesn't allow for very close(portrait-distance) focusing with a 12-inch lens, could I use a recessed lensboard, but backwards,...
This summer I'm working on a ranch in New Mexico. The job has a fairly generous off-days policy so I'm planning on backpacking around and bringing my 4x5. I have sundry questions as to how to get all...
Ok sick, thanks y'all! Now just to figure out how to lug a 4x5 and film around on my back..........
Hey y'all,
I'm travelling to NM this summer for 3 months and bringing my 4x5. I'll be doing lots of backpacking so I'm looking to save weight and make my kit as rugged as possible.
I have a...
1987.
I like the idea of shooting it because I'm a high resolution guy and the red sensitivity does well with what I shoot. Side question: is it possible to replicate it with a really harsh red...
Hey y'all,
I recently got my hands on some expired 4x5 techpan, cold storage, only 50 sheets. From what I can tell this is a legendary film that needs lots of testing and work to get results...
Bernice,
The camera is a Brand Camera company Brand-17
It's old as the hills and ugly as sin, but it focuses smoothly, it's solid when locked off, and the bellows don't leak(as far as my testing...
Well with an accurate shutter 1/200 should be good enough, but if shutters aren't accurate I might need one 'rated' to 1/400 or so to actually get a 1/200 or so exposure, right? I guess what I'm...
Ooh haha I'm so oblivious. Thanks!
This is all great, thanks!
Other questions: What do I look for in a shutter? Pere Casals mentioned checking speed but is there anything else? I'm assuming I won't need a shutter any faster than...
Hey y'all,
I've been shooting digital for years, 35mm for a little while and I'm now moving into 4x5.
Most of what I do it landscape and portraiture(more environmental than studio).
I got my...
