sattler123 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 <p>Are you new to LF? If so, then yes, everything will be new. If you have used other LF cameras before, then you just need to learn about the very handy shift/tilt adjustments on the Sinar. You can find the instructions for the dials on the internet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny_wong2 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 <p>Better book is the out of print "Photo Know How" by Carl Koch, inventor of the Sinar system.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_taylor5 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 <p>I am sort of new to LF I have two 4X5 pin hole camera, a mini speed graphic and a speed graphic (that does not work)<br> Thanks for the tips on the books I do need them. I got the instruction book from Sinar and got lost on the depth of field section.<br> I got a Sinar f1 and 210 lens, ten film holders, light meter, developing tank, bogen 3036 tripod and 3039 head, extension tubes, changing bag, backpack and some other stuff for $750. I think I did good.<br> The guy is going back to medium format.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
