Lens and other stuff
Hi Paul, I too am a newbie to this site. For what it's worth: Lens FL will be determined by what 'floats your boat' photographically and perspectively; already inferred by previous comments. I am assuming you already know "35mm equivalents" for 4x5. Lens make : I haven't the depth of knowledge but y...

Thanks Brian, I too had thought about Poloroid. I have a 545 Pro for the rare occasion I use quickload and then realised I had a practicable alternate in my DSLR, which is also much kinder on the pocket for consumables. The Lumas exhibition, linked earlier, had some stunning LF stuff from various ge...

Brian, I forgot to add that I don't always expose for the subject in ambient light, ie without flash. I have had interesting results (experimenting yet again !) underexposing a couple of stops and 'building' depth into a picture with lighting. I only use camera strobes (SB800's and 200's off-camera)...

All, thanks for input. Brian, Thanks for confirming my thoughts, I have ordered a PC to Hot Shoe flash this morning. I am all for experimenting, that's how I've developed my workflow with the D200, R1C1, and SB800's. Yes, I have a 5x4 adapter for my Mamiya 120 film back. Good suggestion to experimen...

LF flash photography
Thanks for getting back to me. Remember LF lenses are slower ... Ian 1. Not wishing to sound like a pedant, but could you explain what you mean by slower, and ... 2. ... exposing my ignorance, is it possible to interface 'modern day' strobes/ flash with LF shutters ? I have 2 lens with X connections...

LF and electronic flash
I am interested in using my LF field camera with fill e-Flash. Is it possible to interface these technologies or does one have to rely upon the human interface. Having tried a couple of searches without success, both here and Go Ogle, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light (ouch!) or point ...
