    Fuji GSW690III

    I use both the 65mm and the 90mm versions of this camera and like them quite a bit. There's a lot on them in the medium-format archived...

    Ansel Adams At 100. Reviews?

    filter attachment to LF lens

    In that last sentence above I meant "whichever lens filter size"--82, 86, 95, etc.--not the size of the square filters you want to use. <p> ......

    filter attachment to LF lens

    Since you asked about systems "such as Cokin" I'll note that many users here have had good experience with Hitech and Lee (which I highly...

    Advice: BW film/dev combo in the 100 & 400 range?

    Just curious: Why did you rule out C41's? If you're only going to be scanning, the chromogenics rated at about ISO 200-250 work very well,...

    1.4x for 100 too?

    I assume you have the 100 2.0 (don't know of a 100/1.4). <p> The Canon 1.4 TCs don't work with the 100 or any other Canon lenses that have a...

    What do I do with 120 film?

    Carbon fibre tripods - comments please?
