Why do I have the urge lately to put together some obscenely large ULF rig?
What dead and careless gods do I pray to, to save me from my own worst impulses? I don't think I burned a single frame of film in any size between April 2020 and April 2021.

Yeah I haven't shot a single frame of film in 2 years but I still encourage you to build that ULF rig :unsmigghh:

Another gear question, anyone using a real hiking/backpacking pack with an ICU for your 4x5 gear? Please post pics if so, looking for ideas

Back when I still used a ICU in my backpack, this was my setup:



Now I use something like this instead but it's no longer available: https://luminous-landscape.com/a-different-kind-of-backpack-the-rpt-p3/

Yeah they're all really magenta tinted to me too, like expired or wrongly exposed film. The most normal is the 4th shot. The rest are pretty bad.

Any advice on a first lens? I've shot a lot at ~45deg field of view and I want something a little tighter to start. I'm guessing my options are 150 (42deg) or 210 (30deg).

A Nikkor 150 seems like a pretty sweet deal for ~$500. With some in-store credit, I can also pick up a Nikkor 210 for $200. How do the Nikkors compare to the Fujis?

Nikkors are great, the Nikkor 150 is one of my main lenses but like eggsovereasy said, you can't go wrong with any of the big four.

Is the Hasselblad Makro-Planar 120/f4 CF lens any good for portraits?

It works pretty well for portraits, though as a macro lens, it's pretty clinical and sharp.
