Dear All I need help. I am not sure about the fresnel glass as technikas have different set ups depending on the age and model of the the camera. I have a Linhof lll I believe (no front tilt), can you tell me where I need to place the fresnel glass. I am so confused! I am even thinking to eliminate it! Let me know Thank you Gigi

thank you

Dear Mr. Joe, the final size it will be museum size, approx. 140 x 110 cm printed in color, film Kodak 160. What do you think? Again Thank you very much Gigi

Dear Joe, thank you for your answer, very nice of you. The hangar has roof windows so I might have a fair vision of the scene. 5x4 is the format. I have the same figures made with Dof calculation. Yes, my lenses choice will be 240mm or 150mm. I need to try in loco. The important aspect I was worry (you help me a lot with it) is to focus on the subject. To increase the dof, do you think can I stop down more or you think f32 will be enough? I know it can cause disturbance. Thank you Luigi

Hi People, before I am going to photograph I am studying, knowing more or less the scene, where to focus to keep the whole image in focus. I am going to a hangar where the main subject (big pillars about six meters large and four meter height) are placed all around the perimetry wall. My idea is to stop down at f32 using a 240mm lens. Now, to keep all in focus where I need to focus (keeping whole the pillar in the image. Tilt cannot be used (the roof will be not sharp). Can I use the 1/3 rule or it is better to focus on the subject and stop down at f 32, knowing that I will be at 8 or 10 meters from the pillar?
