Re: Photographing Buildings.

I use the Schneider 58mm XL lens where space is tight (for work photographs) and until recently my Nikon 90mm f4.5 (in Bergen, Norway, which I visit every year or so.).

Re: How do you file your images?

For 35mm and medium format I use Secol archival sheets and put them in a Timecare archival ring file box. Each are dated with a few details about the images, and are catalogued on a Excel spreadsheet. For LF images they are currently placed in a Secol colour view sleeve (after scanning, where approp...
