Needing a recessed lensboard for a 135mm lens seems a little ridiculous... what if you pull the bound-up parts away from the standards while moving the standards?

It's pretty much undisturbed and I'd like to keep it that way. Sadly, I ran out of time, due to no electrical lights, but I plan to come back. Bonus picture:

I tried and didn't get much more. Recessed lens boards seem kind of expensive for what they are. I found some bag bellows for a decent price and bought them. I figure I'll probably end up with a 90mm lens at some point and it will be worth having.

 "Universal bellows" that have a bag end and a normal folding bellows end are the best, IMO.

I looked at Chamonix, but they're a lot money to lay out when I'm not even sure I'll like large format and I couldn't find a used one anywhere. I work out of my car mostly anyway so it's not liking I'm climbing a mountain with it and a cheap monorail will give me good exposure ( ) to large format. I can already tell lugging this thing around is going to be a pain so I'll probably end up buying a Chamonix or some other field camera later if I like it.

Shot 16 rolls of slides in Japan but ironically only 1 roll of b&w (TMAX 400), and these 3 are the ones I felt were decent enough to show. Kanazawa Castle by alkanphel, on Flickr  Ryoanji Interior by alkanphel, on Flickr  Ryoanji Rock Garden by alkanphel, on Flickr

Shot of me by a friend of mine on my homemade 8x10 camera with some RC paper. We were going to do an afternoon of wet plate, but I didn't realise you need to let the collodion sit for 2 weeks before you use it. Myself by mr_student, on Flickr

So after trying to take the Norma out, I just don't want to mess with a camera this cumbersome and I'm going to return it and buy a field camera that can at least fold up and fit in a bag. I was looking at the Chamonix website, and they have a new model (045F1) that adds base and asymmetrical tilts of the rear standard, is that worth the $120 difference in price?

eggsovereasy posted:So after trying to take the Norma out, I just don't want to mess with a camera this cumbersome and I'm going to return it and buy a field camera that can at least fold up and fit in a bag. As far as I can tell, asymmetrical rear tilts are only really useful for tabletop macro and such. It'd make using tilt a lot faster if it were on the front, but, well, that'd make the front standard a lot more complicated and not nearly as light. I say skip it. edit: to clarify, asymmetrical tilts make it so it (ideally) only takes one pass to dial in your tilt. However, rear movements affect perspective, which makes rear asymmetrical tilts not really work for most of the kind of stuff I do. With practice it won't take more than 2 or maybe 3 iterations to get the focus right on front tilt. Pro tip: since the front tilt is around the lens axis (assuming a centered lensboard), start with rise/fall zeroed out and find how much tilt you need before dialing in rise/fall.

Reala is like Ektar without any redeeming qualities. 400H is the shiznit though.

aliencowboy posted:Reala is like Ektar without any redeeming qualities. 400H is the shiznit though. I agree with this. In my experience, similarly to Ektar, when Reala works, it works great... but it's not nearly as flexible as Portra or even 400H. 400H, by the way, wishes it could be Portra - similar approach to color, but less dynamic range and more grain.

Well then. Anyone wanna swap a box or two of Reala for a box or two of some nice black & white? I've found I have been demolishing my B&W stocks and not so much my colour. which is mostly due to the fact that I have been really going hard with long exposures, and I have the HI Tech 10 stop ND, which as you might know has a ghastly blue hue. PM me if you wanna do a quick swapsies, I'm in Australia.

I dig the grain and I really like the greens in Superia and 400H. I definitely prefer it for normal outdoor shooting conditions, but that's just my bias. edit: ^^^ Trade your Reala for an XA. You won't regret it.

Acros loving owns for long exposures. No reciprocity failure to think about, just shoot as metered up to 1000 seconds.
