the standard canon equipment for most of the (news-)professionals around the world is: eos 1d (before eos 1n), 17-35, 28-70, 70-200, all 2.8. nachtwey probably uses more ore less the same equipment. some also use the 24/1.4. the extended equipment: see above plus 1.4, 2.0 extender, 400/2.8 or 500/4, monopod. for nikon users just change the camera name to nikon d1x (before nikon f5).

so you see, it can't only be the equipment, that brings out the pictures.

i am guest at this forum for the first time and this was the first question i opened. actually i am quite astonished about your reactions concerning the question above. why should one not take several lenses to shoot? if you think leitz-lenses are too expensive then use a cheaper system! (by the way - i am sure nobody will recognize a difference in the results of anybody's pix). moreover i do not think i will ask any questions about any piece of equipment at this forum, who knows what comments will come!

concerning the viewfinder: i consider 0.72 to be the best choice in this case.

to me a good photograph touches me, maybe tells me a interesting story, stimulates my phantasy and makes me always again think about it. a good picture for me does not necessarily have to fulfill all those technical conditions required above.

i asked because i got one offered. as i am no specialist concerning

technikas i am not shure about the modell. generally it looks like a

V, but the lether is black. could it be a black V then?

<p>

thanks

did linhof ever make 5x7 master technikas (technika V successors)?

does anybody know about some chemicals or some other stuff (except grease) to smooth or fill in scratches on the base side of LF negatives?
