Hi

Just wondered if anyone with this bag could let me know how much it weighs (empty and as it came delivered, if possible!!).

I'm thinking of getting one, even though they are long discontinued, and there seems little information available.

Are they very heavy?

Good for a large format field camera plus lenses?

Good for hiking?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Has anyone here mastered using Harman A2+ paper with the Epson 3800?

I've been trying to make a print today using the paper for the first time, using both Photoshop CS2

and Lightroom.

I have created a custom paper size 43.2 x 63.5 cm, which I select in Page Setup.

The print preview looks great, but when I actually come to print I just get a section of the bottom of the

image (roughly 7" x 10") printed at the top of the page.

I'm using the normal sheet feed (ie not the manual feed).

Does anyone know if there's something that I'm setting up incorrectly?

Thanks in advance,

Gareth

Thanks to everyone who has posted an answer to my rather ill-conceived question. At

the moment I get asked to shoot digital a lot and use my 10D shooting raw files and

correct the perspective in Photoshop. However, I'm finding clients increasingly less

willing to shoulder film/processing costs and are after bigger file sizes (especially as

many of them will now have their own 8mp cameras). Architectural magazines are

beginning to accept images shot digitally but in the UK the biggest has double-A3

spreads - which is too large by far for a 6mp Canon!

I suppose one slightly less expensive option is the slr/c from Kodak, but I have only

heard bad things about sensor noise at long exposure (essential in many interiors)

and I think there is also antialiasing problems too.

I suppose I'll have to save up for a 1ds mark II!

Thanks again and I look forward to hearing any further comments. And I wil check out

the large format back, although not sure if my Ebony will be up to it!

Hello,

I'm an architectural photographer currently using large format - but

all my clients are now asking to shoot on digital! I can't afford the

new Canon 1ds mark II or any high-end digital backs for large format,

so am trying to think of another way to deliver decent-sized files at

reasonable expense.

One idea is to buy the new Nikon D2X, with its 12.4mp resolution.

However, it has an APS-sized sensor, which means that using any of

Nikon's proprietary shift lenses is useless for wide angle work, due

to the focal length magnification of approx 1.5 to 1.6.

However, I need to be able to have some control over converging

verticals! I've come across a "panoramic shift adaptor" made my a

company called Zork, and was wondering whether anybody had tried one -

in particular using it with wide angle Nikon optics (say 15mm). The

Zork adaptor is nominally for connecting a 35mm slr with a medium

format lens, but I was wondering if anyone had tried it with 35mm slr

lenses. My guess is that you would have some movement because the

lenses cover full frame 35mm and the sensor is smaller.

I hope I've made my question understandable! Let me know if you need

any clarification.

Thanks!
