elgarbo posted:My advice: don't try to learn photography on a MF camera. Seriously, if you like the look and want to experiment with it, set it as a long term goal. Play around with a manual 35mm camera for a while first. You'll save yourself a poo poo ton of money and frustration. Seriously this, I didn't touch a medium format camera until I had shot 35mm for a couple of years

At least yours got delivered, mines still sitting in a holding depot in Melbourne somewhere, and I think alkanphel's got sent back because they hosed up his address.

Spedman posted:Mine now arrived, I'll give it a work out tomorrow with a couple of sheets I can confirm that he SP-445 is pretty great, really even negs without any special processing parameters. I just treated the development like you would with a Paterson tank, inversion times, etc, no problems.

somnambulist posted:In what way is it different? (MF raw compared to FF) I recently saw a show where 8x10 negs were wet printed to that kind of size, and if you got close you could start to easily see the grain etc. I think you're trying to solve a problem that isn't actually a problem, but you've got $10k to burn and more megapixels would somewhat elevate this non-issue. What kind of work do you shoot? Is there other gear that would improve you're shooting or make you're job easier? Would some travel give some opportunities you'd never have otherwise?

rohan posted:Matthew Abbott at the Fox? Yep that's the one, ridiculously good. somnambulist posted:I recently sold a print of this at 30"x60" and the ice looked "pixelated" a bit when printed at that size. The reason why I asked what you shoot was more to do with if you'll get more out of say better lighting gear for your portraits, or travel to somewhere totally new to you for landscape shots, etc How often are you actually printing those size prints? Do you actually want to printing your work that size anyway? I think if you want to go more mega pixels than the 5Ds you'll have to shell out a lot more than $10k to make it worth while

Delzuma posted:I'm thinking about pulling the pin on a Fuji Ga645zi. Anyone have any thoughts on it? I'm looking for a traveling camera with some level of exposure help and I won't sneeze at autofocus either. Looks like this is the (affordable) way to go. I'd prefer something in the 6x6 area but this seems like a good way to go. I've threatened to get a GA645 for a long time as a travel cam, I'd rather get a fixed focus rather than a zoom for the faster/sharper lens, and less parts equals less opportunity for cam failure: https://www.filmshooterscollective.com/analog-film-photography-blog/fujifilm-ga645-long-term-review-5-19

Just get a GW690, it's got two exposure buttons, on the front and one on the winder, and takes no batteries

Thats really nice Sludge Tank, nailing the exposure. I can only imagine how difficult it is dealing with such a big plate, 8x10 was more than hard enough for me. Here's a couple of 6x9 cropped to 4x5, something I'm liking these days.

That's real nice, and the technical difficulty of getting that shot on wet plate is ridiculous

Primo Itch posted:I'm thinking about a Graflex, but all the models are making me quite confused honestly, from what I understand I should be looking for a speed graphic or a busch pressman, right? Any other sugestions? Are the focus plane shutter on these usable after so many years? I'm quite the tinkerer and having the oportunity to adapt whatever crazy lenses I get across sounds nice. I've got a Speed Graphic with the focal plane shutter, which works really well and is quite accurate. I've adapted a bunch of barrel lenses just by making my own crappy lens mounts out of plywood, which is easy enough to do. It doesn't have the most movements by any stretch, but it's a versatile and compact camera, I'd recommend it.

Also if you’re getting into LF with some decent gear you won’t lose money if you decide it’s not for you. The gear isn’t cheap, but it holds its value well.
