bobmarleysghost posted:So nice. What are you gonna end up doing with the plates? Giving them to the band or keeping them? I gave them to the band for a price. As far as portraits go I'm happy for those to go to the sitters, I'll be keeping most of my landscape stuff to hopefully have a exhibition.

Finally got these 8x10s back that I dropped a couple of months ago into the framers. They're some of my older ones so they're a bit sloppy but they still look really nice, they're floating about 1/4 inch above the matt and behind anti-glare museum glass. The frame is pretty deep, too. Best part is that they're easily removed so I can replace them with better plates should I want to.

Use a laser pointer to help focus and find compositional elements that are otherwise too dark to see on the ground glass. Helps if you have somebody to point the laser for you so you can use one hand for holding a loupe and the other for focusing.

  Re-shot these two today and tried some rim lighting which is dank and definitely something i'm going to use more often Not happy with the couples "homecoming" shot pose-wise but that was the last of the developer and its a super clean plate. (Dunno why the upload keeps making it blurry theyre pretty sharp, just iphone pics) Sludge Tank fucked around with this message at 12:03 on Sep 30, 2015 |

Might as well join the club. I thought the 67 version was supposed to have mirror lockup. Oh well, I probably wouldn't use it much anyways.

Not from personal experience but one of my mates has a mamiya and he's been using a ball head with it for 5+ years now and loves it all. He's into video production too with proper rigs so it's not like he doesn't know Any better.

 what's wrong with a ballhead if you aren't doing video? It's much faster to level once you get the friction set right.

I absolutely hated mine but maybe that has more to do with the weight distribution on the RZ than the head itself.

Until it broke I used my RZ on a ballhead all the time. I'm still confused. Why do you hate it?

Used a ball head on a GW690 and a Mamiya 7 and liked it. It was horrible with my Speed Graphic. The 67 might be somewhere in the middle there.

I just got my first roll from the RB I bought from Ethanfr0me back (shot on a tiny ballhead on a travel tripod no less) and it might just be the new camera syndrome but holy poo poo this poo poo looks great. I have never been stoked to scan before.

Apologies for the double post: Here the first shot of the roll, the light leak is from my sucktitude in loading film right? There's a similar one on the last shot on the right side. (didn't bother dusting this one)  2015-10-02-0001.jpg by Geektox, on FlickrI think this shot came out the best off the roll, how are the colours?

There's nothing wrong with ballheads but a skinny-rear end digital ballhead rated for 15lbs load isn't going to handle a P67 and a big off-axis lens load very well. akadajet posted:I guess ignorance is bliss? It's worked for me so far. Without going too far off topic what kind of head would you recommend? Something along the lines of an Arca-Swiss B1/Z1 or a nice Wimberley or something - a high-end heavy-duty model. You can get away with less, but should you? They're only another $100 or so more if you buy used, and they don't weigh much more than the light-duty models in absolute terms. Then when you're trying to hold a non-trivial off-axis load, like a bucking P67 with a long lens or steadying a field camera in a stiff breeze you know you're covered. akadajet posted:Might as well join the club. All P67s have mirror lockup. The proper diagnosis here is that someone switched the top plates of the camera, guaranteed. If you paid more than a pittance for the rig you should try getting a partial refund. It's not absolutely necessary, but it's a worthwhile feature to have around and the P67 bodies are worth more as a result. The internals of a P6x7 body (which that is) are likely to be more worn as well. The older P6x7s reportedly had a more durable film feeding mechanism, but age may counteract that.

I'm in the ballhead haterz crew, I learnt to hate it with my Bronica SQ-Ai, it was well within the weight limit of the head but I would get constantly aggravated by the too many degrees of freedom when I would only want to adjust one.

Ball heads ain't so bad. Until this week I've been shooting without a tripod head at all (old one broke and who has money to replace these trifles?) Oh, you want to adjust the angle? Guess I'll just need to adjust all of the tripod legs. Not quite right? Let's adjust them all again.

Ok this one, I used a curves layer and set the gray point to something okay, a few minor adjustments on it, then a tiny bit of a levels adjustment in the green channel, and a channel mixer layer in which I upped the blue channel which made the water a nice rich blue  e: it still feels a bit too blue but you get the idea. bobmarleysghost fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Oct 3, 2015 |

Also the pentax 6x7 withouth the mlu has an issue where the roller that counts the exposures can jam and not let film through. It's a $350 repair. ask me how i know

You can check if it's a 6x7 in 67 clothing pretty easily. The 67s bulb mode won't work without power so pop the shutter open and pull the battery if it stays open its a 6x7.

I'm very interested in buying a medium format camera, but I tend to do a lot of street/candid shooting. I'm looking at picking up one of the Fuji medium format rangefinders, specifically the GW670 or GW690. Can anyone who has used either of these let me know what you think of them? Also, if you would recommend one over another? I was thinking the GW670 to sneak a few more shots out per roll.

Any concerns about film economy should probably come second to whether your work will be better served by 6x9 versus 6x7. You're not going to be running and gunning with either of these cameras unless you're rich and crazy, and the difference is exactly two shots per roll, so you may as well ensure the camera lets you compose according to the way you like to see.

The GW690 is usually considered to be the better option, because the lenses are identical. You can always crop from 6x9 down to 6x7 if needed, but you can never get back the extra field-of-view that you cropped away to save a buck per roll on.
