I was hoping to stimulate an inclusive dialogue on Struth's work and the use of LF in the contemporary art world I wonder how many people are even aware of Struth's work (apart from the recent royal portrait, of course)? The fine-art photography world doesn't get huge coverage, sadly, and opportuni...

I saw this exhibition last year when it came to the Kunsthaus in Zurich and was well impressed - especially by the photographs of people in art galleries (in an art gallery - oh the irony.... :wink: ) His formal portraits were pretty good, too. There's a lot of variety and depth in his work. Totally...

The paper slip is not such a bad idea. All my shooting info is kept in a couple of spiral-bound notebooks, with a small sketch and a date to connect the info to the images. It all sounds rather lackadaisical compared to your set-up....

One big advantage of 5x4 is that you don't accumulate that many shots! Anyway, this is what I do... Once I've decided on the keepers, the first thing I do is to divide my stuff into three piles - one pile goes to the round filing-cabinet on the floor (that would be the real disasters - not so many o...

What, Dave? Again? Didn't you sell all your LF stuff last year only to get back into shooting 5x4 a few months later?

I have reserved my former fruit/salad drawers at the bottom of my fridge for film and store all opened QL and boxes of sheet film there. That's what I do. Trouble is, the film colony has outgrown my salad drawers and has now taken over the lower levels of the main compartment. Trying to prevent deb...

Hi Christian,

I visited Metz a few years ago and it's a very beautiful town so I'm a bit envious.

The Fujinon 300 C is a fantastic lens - sharp, light and it fits a Copal 1 shutter unlike a lot of other long lenses. I have one - but I'm not selling. Sorry.

Anyway, welcome to the forum!

Ebay started losing sellers when they forced everyone to accept PayPal as a payment method - and leave themselves open to the scams that go with it. If they want to get more sellers, perhaps they could start by reversing that ridiculous decision....

definitely more 'furniture' than 'appliance'

Do they do an upholstered version that could perhaps double as a sofa when not in use? Might make owning one a little more domestically acceptable....

A Wista 45DX can take a bigger range of lenses (even my 65mm SA) for a lot less weight.

Two words: asymmetric back.

Trust me. If it weighed twice as much I'd still carry my 45SU for that one feature alone.

Politics? Passion? Eroticism?? Steady on there...

I see your thinking but won't it be difficult to keep light out of the armholes you aren't using? You'll need to be able to tie them off somehow...

If you don't mind ordering from the US, BadgerGraphic still stocks Astia....

Charles, Received wisdom has it that scanning at 4800dpi on an Epson is a largely pointless exercise as the scanner starts to interpolate above (I think) 2400dpi(possibly lower). So scanning at 4800dpi and then downsampling is effectively a double-interpolation. Now, if Tim says this leads to an imp...

I wouldn't want to have to carry it very far...
