| OT: Anyone here ever submit to LensWork? | 31 Oct 2004 23:33 GMT | 8 |
I've been reading this magazine for several years now, and find it quite enjoyable, though I think the quality of submissions has gone down in recent months. Could be just a matter of taste, or a dry-spell in quality submissions. At any rate, seems like a prime time to submit a ...

| Roll film back and focal length | 30 Oct 2004 07:13 GMT | 49 |
Sorry if this question has been asked many times: If I put a roll film back (6x7 or 6x9) on a 4x5 camera, will this change the effective focal length of the lens? By how much? I want to be able to control perspectiv by shifting, and have read that a

I have a couple of Busch press cameras that I want to start shooting IR landscapes with. I have small holder that slides on these older lenses and it holds the filters with a small ring that screws down in front to secure the filter in the holder. I'm looking for an 89b for ...

| Ball head for (old) Linhof tripod | 27 Oct 2004 16:18 GMT | 3 |
Having used 35mm for 40 years, I've just purchased an old but complete LF view / field camera kit, a 5" x 4" MPP Micro-Technical VI. All seems to work OK except the Schiansky Ball head which fits on the Linhof tripod. In my opinion, the ball head is nowhere near solid enough to ...

| Tri-X | 27 Oct 2004 13:48 GMT | 83 |
Called around to get a new supply of film today - Tri-X in 8x10. Kodak had neglected to add it to the offering of porducts in Canada so the people I spoke with asserted that it was discontinued. After some discussion they are adding it to the Canadian system. It is kind of funny ...

| Alternatives to 2x enlarging | 27 Oct 2004 03:31 GMT | 5 |
My enlarger accepts up to 6x6 negatives. It works fine for this. But I have been playing with a pinhole camera using 4x5 negatives that I can contact print. But I would also like to enlarge them up to 8x10. Is there a way to do this without having to resort to a 4x5 enlarger? I ...

| moving up to this format - advice welcome | 25 Oct 2004 00:29 GMT | 15 |
Greetings list - I need some expert advice. I'm thinking of moving my photography up a few notches, currently I use Mamiya TLR's and Canon A1's, and mostly do non-pro nature, archaeology and landscape photography, with some vintage racing cars when I get my freedom.

| What happens to film as it ages? | 23 Oct 2004 21:10 GMT | 31 |
I recently shot some outdated film at its advertised ASA,, but on developing, it looked underexposed and yet contrasty -- (however, I was trying a new development process so that may account for the contrast)

| Ilex #5 shutter problem-Cable release! | 22 Oct 2004 12:27 GMT | 13 |
Well my Ilex #5 shutter cable release mechanism needs a little work. The cables (I've tried all 4 of mine!) fail to push the lever far enough to trip the shutter. I can insert another long(er) nail or other and it trips fine but my release cables fall a little short. Is this a ...

| Hardware is getting tiring. Time to shoot! | 22 Oct 2004 12:04 GMT | 1 |
I've been thinking this way for some time and Tom V (on Pentax PDML) gave me that nudge over the line. Time to stop dealing with hardware & always looking for that next goodie. 135 for color:

| More on the restart | 21 Oct 2004 18:02 GMT | 8 |
I recently picked up one of those old Fujinon W 210/5.6 for use with both the 8x10 and the 4x5. The image circle is reportedly a generous 352mm, leaving about 1 inch of movement on 8x10. More than enough for 4x5.

Anyone know what size the filter threads are on a Calter 150. I want to get a Cokin adapter ring for it to hold my gels. Thanks, Matt A.

| Flaw in T. Phillips "Digital is not photography" argument | 21 Oct 2004 00:06 GMT | 53 |
Leaving aside any of the philosophical and semantic aspects of his argument, there's one glaring error in his argument. He asserts that because digital formats change (true) that digital images made now will become unreadable in the future.
