markus_muller Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 <p>I`m a photo student and I`ll go to iceland for about 2 weeks, mainly for photographing.<br> Has anybody been to iceland with a 4x5 ?<br> I don`t know if I should take the 4x5 or my Bronica 6x6 setup with me. I heard that it can be very windy...so I think it could get annoying with the sinar.<br> Any ideas?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_norman4 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 <p>No one ever accused a monorail in the field of being convenient. If negative/chrome film size and format, along with movements are important to what you plan to shoot (you didn't say what your subject matter would be), take the Sinar (hopefully an F, and not a P). Otherwise, take the Bronica, although if you're a zone system shooter, you'll have to deal with processing the entire roll as N, plus or minus. Consider also the lenses you have to take along, again taking into account your subject matter.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus_muller Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 <p>thanks jim, its a sinar f2, and I plan to shoot landscapes. I`m not a zone system shooter. How big would you print from a 6x6 film?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_owen Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 <p>Hi Markus. I've been lucky enough to visit Iceland twice and on both occasions have taken a 4x5 outfit with me - my last visit also included a Fuji GX617 along too. The weather in Iceland is VERY changeable and although it can be windy it is certainly not too windy for LF use. Which parts are you visiting?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_eskridge2 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 <p>Take a sturdy unbrella also. It can be used to shield the camera from the wind during exposures.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
