  1. I also have an FG Nikon and hope to find a MD14 winder for it sometime.
  2. I have a definition of what I call art. I think if an artist or anyone who paints, draws, writes, builds, crafts, sculpts, photographs, etc. can intellectualize about what they've done or created: it's Art.
  3. I shot weddings back in the 1960's. Most of the time I shot with a 4x5 Speed Graphic and heavy strobe,and sometimes with a roll film back, other times with sheet film. There was never any doubt who was the photographer for the wedding. Occasionally I would shoot a wedding for another studio using their rangefinder camera (not sure if it was 120 film or 35mm). A few people would ask me "is that your camera?). So size matters with cameras too.
  4. Thank you 10986431, jochen, rodeo_joe/1, Sandy Vongries, Steve_gallimore/1, Ricochetrider, AJG, and Glenn McCreery for your input. I have enjoyed checking photo.net daily to see your ideas and responses. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
  5. I wonder if Ricochetrider was thinking on the order of a contact print from the Ipad and maybe from the there to developing trays, stop bath, and fixer in the darkroom? Photoshop on the Ipad could convert the image to a negative. It's been a long time since I was in a darkroom but when I exposed photosensitive paper under an enlarger and then developed it, it became a positive.
  6. At least with a view camera you knew the picture would always be inverted.
  7. Thank you for your reply. I guess my post was a romanticized fantasy of the 1960's when I photographed and worked in the darkroom with 4x5 and 5x7 film.
  8. Thank you for your reply. About 50 years ago I did some large format photography and darkroom work. My recent purchase of a 12.9" Ipad Pro got me fantasizing about the old days. I hope to get a heavier tripod, focusing cloth and Ipad tripod mount and relive part of the 1960's. I guess my post was more of a romantic fantasy than anything. I remember the time it took to plan and execute a shot and the pleasure I received. It's not about digitizing or keypress compinations for a screen shots. It's about seeing that inverted image on the groundglass.
  9. I wish there was a way to attach a 8x10 sheet film back to a 12.9 Ipad Pro and put Polaroid instant film in it for large format photographs. No...I have not been drinking.
