Where can I find this film in London or in UK?

 

I checked Silverprint, Teamwork, Calumet, Procentre and none of them listing

this film in their website.

can i use a 35mm viewfinder ? like the one from voigtlander or something like that? the linhof and horseman is very expensive.

Is there any viewfinders that I can use with my Toyo 45AX?

 

Is it possible to use Linhof Master Technika viewfinders with Toyo?

 

It doesnt have to be dead accurate but to give you an idea about the scene

without looking at the ground glass at first?

thank you. i will try and see.

thank you all.

thanks very much.

as Michael stated, my first lens is 150mm. thats why i will go with 90mm or 80mm.

 

can i use 90mm rodenstock without the recessed board with toyo45ax or its better to get a recessed board to have more flexibility?

I got my first lens couple weeks ago which is a 150mm rodenstock apo sironar

s. thanks for the advices. its great and super sharp.

 

now i want to add a wide angle lens to my toyo 45ax. above these 3 lenses

which one would be the sharpest, less distortion and easy to use with toyo45ax?

 

thanks.

I will appreciate the info if you know any camera stores which sell large

format cameras etc in milan, italy? thanks.

Can I use Polaroid 545i holder for any quickload films? A dealer told me yes.

But just want to be sure.

well, the original fresnel screen is ok for daytime but for nite time its a pain in the neck to focus. i spoke to jim from mpex and he told me the maxwell is the best. i think i will get it , cause its something very important. for $250 i dont want to risk my pics. thanks.

what about in 400asa and 800asa?

I shoot with contax g2 and i found either kodak portra 400nc, vc and fuji

pro400h too much contrast.

 

i m looking for a low contrast film so that i dont loose too much detail.

contax g2 lenses have too much contrast.

 

can you guys suggest me the least contrast color negative and positive film in

100asa 400asa and 800asa. thanks.

I just got a Toyo 45ax and was wondering if anybody has used maxwell screen

for toyo 45ax? I would like to know if there are any improvements compared to

its original fresnel screen?

 

i mostly do night time photography and need the most bright screen in the

world. thanks.

no matter what the distance of the subject(lets say 5 meters or 100 meters), at the same f stop, lets say f 22, the hyperfocal distance is always same which is 10.1 meters to infinity. thats what the table shows.

 

so if i will use f22 all the time, i know that the hyperfocal distance is always starts from 10.1 meters to infinity. or am i doing something wrong here?

what i have understood from the dof ebsite is, if i know my hyperfocal distance and focus at hyperfocal distance, i will always get more depth of field. right?

Im happy with the dof when using my rz67 at f11 and was wondering the

equivalent f stop for my Toyo 45ax?

you can use your polaroid 545i back for the fuji quickload films. you dont need to buy an extra back.

Do you guys think this tripod head is good for this camera? Or can you give any

other advices?

 

I have a Gitzo Carbon finder 1348 tripod and looking for a center ball head?

Thanks.

thank you.

thank you all.

 

i just found a 150mm Schneider Apo Symmar f5.6 for $650. Do you guys think its a good price ?

 

I assume this is pretty close to the lenses mentioned above in terms of sharpness and everything.

I m going to buy my FIRST LF 4x5 lens.

 

Which one do you think is SHARPER ?

Hi all,

 

I found a mint cond Linhof Technika 4 (w/rangefinder)with a 150mm Xenar f4.5

lens on it for $2500. Do you guys think its a good deal?

 

And what is the longest lens you can put on this camera?

 

Thanks.

thanks michael and all. i prefer metal cameras so i dont know if the ebonys mentioned above are metal.

 

the focal lenghts i will use 90mm 150mm, 400mm or longer up to 720mm.

 

and yes, nite time foucing is hell of a challenge. i definitley need a reflex accessory, which i hiope i can find it and a super bright screen?.

 

what about sinar f2?

Hi all,

 

I just rent a Linhof Master Technika for the weekend and I found it difficult

to do movements with this camera.

 

So I decided to go with a view camera. What would be the lightweight view

camera to do night time shooting outdoors?(buildings, landscape etc)
