Hi, everyone.
I'm sure this question has been posted before, but I can't seem to find it. If there is a thread, please point me to it if it covers the question below.
I'm interested in using a digital camera to test exposure instead of a polaroid back on my 4X5.
How does this work if you're stopped down to f/45, and your digital camera only stops down to f/22? Do you simply calculate the stop difference in you head and then adjust the shutter speed accordingly? Aside from filter factors and close -up shots, what are the disadvantages to using digital instead of Polaroid, what will I be missing? What are some advantages, other than cost, weight, and set- up time?
I remember seeing an article in Outdoor Photographer, but I'll be darned if I ca n remember the issue number.
Any suggestions on which digital camera to get (based solely on the ability to a djust for proper exposure, rather than if it has 1000 Megapixels, or not....then again if it had 1000 megapixels, I wouldn't be doing LF :-p)
Thanks,
Pete.
