I carry a Contax 645, 80mmLens and Batt pack, Canon D30 with Bat PAck, 28-70L, Toyo 45A, 110xl, 210APo, 150APO, Sekonic 608, Various Backs, Film Digi Assc and LArge format Assc...In a Pro Trekker AW II...Very Nice But Way Heavy with all of this gear....The Lowepro can Handle it all but just barely...Just have to be strong...I limit my Self to 5 mi with this set up.. My GF and I backpack almost every weekend and I take one Camera and My Gf Takes one...I take the Tripod Head and She Carries the G1325 LEgs(I use a North Face Pivotal BackPack for my Trips..I ve had a demo For 5 months..Great Pack!!!)...The Lowepros HArness is Good, But I think I overpacked it so many times that It began to Sag...Oh well..Still love it..

With the discontinuation of Fuji R Type Prints... What printing

methods are You and other Large format people using?... I love my

Fuji R type Super Gloss. I live in Seattle and Ivey has discontinued

R-type prints and I had 4 Prints from Transparences done and the

Color and Saturation is there but not the detail....What are large

format photographers using to print color these days....

 

 

 

Thanks,

Eric

just got some Really great 8x10 Velvia Trans back that I shot with this Lens!!!Awesome...But I always stop this Lenes way down...F45 or more...Super sharp Glass

I started with a Sinar F2 4x5 than picked up the 8x10 back and bellows...Very nice, but pretty heavy..

nother vote for the Super trekker II...I carry a toyo 45a, Contax 645, and a canon D30,6 Lens, and a slew of other things...REally good harness system as Bill stated..Check ebay..Picked one up Brand new shipped overnight for 285...Very happy with this pack!!!!

I would scoop that New 645 body right up...I love the First 645 SOOOO much..

I use a Gitzo 1325...with my contax and 4x5..Love this baby...You will never worry about camera shake...

Depends...If I am not going to far fron the Car I take Digital, Med Format, 4x5 and 8x10...Thanks god For my GF...She Is my sherpa!!!!Most of the time I take in a Domke Outpack...Toyo 45A, Contax 645, and a Canon d30 and MAny Lens and Various Assc.

and we all know how great it is to fly FIRST class...Love...Especially on Alaska Airlines...$50 firs class upgrades!!! Love IT!!

I use two the Gtzo 1325 and the 1548...I think you would love the 1325..The 1548 I use for 8x10 and all studio work,,, I shoot35, 645 and 4x5 using the 1325 and 1576 ball head...The head is a bit of overkill but I like it...The tripod is easy to master (some complain about the gitzos twist locks) and VERY rigid..You wont regret it...

without Ebay I could not have purchased 98% of my gear...Great place to get gear!!

contax?

Contax 645...Buy through Import channels...Plenty of Good dealers.....This camera has allowed so much for me...

Contax!

Chris this explains your vivid Colors in your images...Can I come over! I live in Issaquah! HAAHAH

Contax 645?..Love mine but Is it Right for you? Only you can tell!!

Also Chris Jordan...AWESOME in My Eyes!!!Just picked up a copy at the B&N in Downtown Seattle.

With the discontinuation of Fuji R Type Prints What printing methods

Just spent 10 days in Yosemite...I got the Hassy question about 50 times...I would set up my 8x10, 4x5, and Canon digital on three different tripods...I love the interaction from the people...I have met sooo many people this way...Plus a few really HOT girls...Love the Camera "magnet"...

Kerry Park on Queene Anne...Don't know if you want to stay in town but the Olympic Peninsula is Most amazing...Short ferry ride in a rental car and about an hour drive to the most lush forests that you will ever see...The GREEN has got to be seen to be believed!!!!!heheeh..make sure to try all the GREEN you can get..!!! Crescent Lake, The hoh Rain Forest, Sol Duk Falls...These Places will Blow you Away!!!! You can session this area for years and never see the same thing... Don't forget Hurricane Ridge..I could go on for hours..... email with any more questions..

seems to work fine for me..I use an 8x10 paper drum with 50% more chemicals...I did afix some plastic tabs on the sides of the drum to hold the neg in place...but have used it without the tabs and still worked fine...Still like tray processing especially for Pyro...

Thanks Everyone..

on a Landscape shoot I use my 4x5, 8x10, and D30....This gives the best of 3 worlds....Digital, Enlarging, and Contact printing...Looking to upgrade the d30 but I am going to wait another generation...

I get the Hassy question once a month....Makes me Laugh....I enjoy peoples curiosity

I was wondering what the drivng policy in Yosemite currently is..I

cant find any info that isnt outdated..Just want to plan for ways to

shoot 8x10 and 4x5 and was wondering if anyone knows the scoop>
