sorry vertical lines. i am pointing out the camera from the window to downstairs to shoot the buildings etc. but there is quite a bit of distortion of vertical lines which i dont get this distortion with my mamiya rz 110mm lens.

 

i am very surprised if this kind of distortion accepted normal for 150mm rodenstock .

correct the distorted lines when I am directing the camera with an angle of

30degrees or so from 45th floor looking through the buildings downwards.

 

Which movement I need to correct the distorted horizantol lines?

 

The lens is a 150mm rodenstock lens.

Paul,

 

what about if i put a much thicker spacer to use much longer lenses like 450mm or 600mm?

Can I use my RZ67 350mm APO lens with this 1.4x RZ converter? In their website

it says, it si suitable for up to 180mm lens.

 

What happens if I use it?

What camera would you advise to use this lens?

 

I posted several questions regarding telephotoshooting with 4x5 camera and it looks like large format is not an ideal format to shoot with long lenses because of the physical issues.

 

I shoot nite time long exposures with my mamiya rz67 with 350mm apo lens. It works great but i need a big negative to print really big. thats all.

Anybody used this tele lens with Fotoman 45 PS?

 

Im curious how is this combination works?

 

What are the disadvantages or advantages?

Which camera is best to use this long lens?

 

I am so interested in shooting with long and/or tele lenses and according to my

research this is the lens for my focal lenght and budget that I m looking for.

I found the lens but have no clue which camera will be best for this?

 

I shoot nite time long exposures(more than a minute) so it shouldnt be a shaky

set up. I am a mamiya rz67 user and never shot with 4x5. Looking for a big

negative for huge prints.

 

 

Can you name 4 camera options please. thanks.

How could a no bellows camera like fotoman 45ps can use a 400mm fuji lens?

Michael,

excuse my ignorance but why 450mm lens is not a telephoto lens?

 

what focal lenghts are considered telelens in 4x5? or am I missing something here?

i shoot with mamiya rz 67 wth 350mm apo lens. i get nice results but i want to shoot the same focal lenght with 4x5 camera without too much hassle, set up or anything like that. i shoot nite time and use tripod all the time. if i cannot get exactly the 175mm focal lenght in 35mm , i would like to get the closest focal lenght .

what lens with graflex super d?

how good it would be to use 400mm fuji lens with fotoman 45 ps camera. in their website they say its the max focal lenght you can use.

I do a lot of night time shooting by using my RZ67 with fuji astia 100f.

 

I am wondering if you guys use any kind of filters for night time photography

for some sort of special effects or just basically just improving the nite time

shots?

I would like to know which 4x5 field camera is more suitable for the lenses

350mm and up?

 

And what is the max tele lens in 4x5 format?

 

I am actually looking around 175mm-200mm focal lenght range in 35mm format.

wow! thats a quite a big difference. thanks aaron.

Elliot,

 

do you know what is the longest tele lens (focal length) you can use with Fotoman 45PS?

 

I will do prints of 40"x50" at least. so i think its worth to invest.(even tough there are no movements) ?

i use mamiya rz 67 and thinking about stepping up to large format, 4x5. and i was wondering if i will be able to see the difference?

 

with my mamiya rz67 i get excellent results but i never blow up a pic to 40"x50". and thats what i am planning to do so, should i try 4x5 or rz67 will be good enough. thats the main question actually. because people say 35mm and mf lenses are sharper then lf lenses. i know there are other facotrs like enlarging the negative so i am trying to figure out the difference.

I was checking the b&h webs?te and it looks like they are much cheaper than 35mm and mf lenses?

Elliot,

 

so you see a quite a difference btw rz67 and a fotoman 45 in terms of sharpness even in a4 size print?

Pico,

 

is that a new or old lens? where can i find that lens? its quite fast for a lf.

What are the sharpest lenses in the market(new or old design)in the focal

lenght of

 

65mm ?

 

 

90mm ?

 

 

150mm?

 

 

210mm?

 

 

300mm?

 

 

Thank you.

thank you very much to all. i will post another question to refresh the question. thanks very much again.

thanks a lot. any camera advice for $2000 including lens?

I am medium format user but would like to step up to large format world. I

would like to buy a new camera but it should be under $2000 including a good

lens with a focal lenght of 50mm in 35mm format.

 

I was looking at fotoman 45ps and was wondering what would be the disadvantages

of not having a movement in a large format?

 

I use Mamiya rz67 and it works great for me so far. the reason i would like to

step up to large format is for the bigger negative.

 

I shoot city, urban scenes from a distance at nite times.

 

Thanks.

dave, thsanks for the pics. to be honest i wouldnt be able to tell if you didnt tellme that hese shots are actually color but converted to b&w. they look quite good b&w.
