<p>Thank you all for the helpful responses.</p>

<p>Also, can I use my bag bellows with a 210, or do I need the original accordion style? </p>

<p>I mostly want to shoot outdoors with a model. No tabletop stuff, yet. i'm thinking 210 would fit the bill.</p>

<p>Hello all. <br /> O.k. so I want to use my 4x5 camera movements in the very "shallow focus " style. Blurring out certain areas and the like. My camera is a Calumet Cambo with a bag bellows and a 90mm Nikkor SW lens. Research ive found has indicated that a 90mm is a poor choice. So im guessing that a 150mm or 210mm would lend itself better for this effect. Is this true? Also what budget minded lenses would work best? Thank you all in advance for your time and thoughts.</p>

<p>Hello all.<br> When I have my F3 set up for long exposures on occasion it will misfire. The camera is set on B. Cable release is attached. When I push in the cable release it will lock open as it should. I can hear the shutter open and then close after a second or two. I replaced the batteries and have used 3 different cable releases. I'm stumped. So, I humbly beg your help. Thanks in advance for any advice on this matter. </p>

<p>Hello all.....<br> Ill cut to the chase. I shoot film. I use a Sekonic meter. Usually i'm using Kodak Ektar 100. I shoot long exposures at pre-sunrise. (moving clouds...smooth water....you know the drill.) to account for reciprocity fail I usually overexpose by one stop. If I set my meter at asa 50 as opposed to 100 would I be safe? My shots are usually in the 2-4min range. On occasion i'm adding ND filters to the mix.<br> So whats the best way to do what I want to do with what i've got. For what its worth i'm using a Nikon f3 and a 20mm lens set at F/22.<br> Thanks in advance for you thoughts.<br> Dave</p>
