tuco, how do you like your M*?.

It's a darn good lens. And apparently it is a good lens on the 645D/Z too which not all Pentax 6x7 lenses perform well on those cameras. Congrats on getting that 400mm for such a good deal.

Here are a few shots from the M* 300mm I probably posted here before.

New Portra 400



Delta 3200

Oh I remember that skyline shot, one of my favorites from you ever!

Great job on the dog photo. Nailing focus on that type of shot is a real challenge.

Thanks but it is not what it seems. I built a wireless remote control for mechanical film cameras and that was a test shot using it. It also has a IR beam when broken trips the shutter. Here is a picture. Those are DIY, single layer circuit boards I made. That black thing has a CO2 used to trip the shutter with one of those air bulb cable releases. My 500C/M and P6x7 take a lot of force to trip the shutter so I used C02. I also have a electronic solenoid instead for cameras that trip easy like my M7II.

Austin, that first one of the tower is first class!

Tuco, buried in there some where is the Beaumont Motel. I had the displeasure of staying there for a few days during a convention.
It actually snowed.

tuco, as ever, I am impressed by both your photos and your technological prowess.

i shot a stack of LF color infrared, but the smaller format (120 & 35mm) are far more friendly, given you can bracket for less $$..

Where did you find a stack of color infrared in LF sheets? As far as I know it was only available in 35mm for many years until it was discontinued. This must have been many, many years ago.

Wow Steve. That is great. Very sharp too.
Care to share the setup?
