I currently use an FE and FM (and sometimes a F70 when using flash). The camera is often used on a set of PB4
bellows with a 55 mm lens. I have multiple SB22s flashguns and appropriate Nikon cables. What current Nikon Dslr
would be a good replacement for my film cameras? Mirror lock up would be nice to have. Is it true that shutter
speed can no longer be set using a simple, dedicated dial on the camera body? I have a few digi compact cameras
and hate setting shutter/apperture values via menus on LCD screens.
Many thanks

Have Canon got any future plans for their eye control system?

PB6 Bellows

It works for me! -
thanks for the answers, think i will make an adaptor to fit my 28mm macro lens on the front of an extension tube which will raise the questions:-
which medium format cameras have mirrors which are accuratly positioned. i heard rumors that the mirror in rb67 cameras can be as much as 2mm (3/32") out of line.
does film flatness become even more of an issue with macro work.
would it be more beneficial to mount my medium format cameras on the back of my large format equipment rather than make an adaptor to fit my large format macro lens to the front of my medium format camera.
i know it seems a lot of work for little gain given the 6x9 back/linhof/schneider system works so well, but i now have so much work that i do not have time to use a non slr based rig.
many thanks

does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can obtain quality
magnifications beyond lifesize with medium format cameras. I believe
that Rollei made an adaptor for their cameras that allowed the
Schneider M-Componon lenses to be used (I use a 28mm M-Componon macro
lens on a Linhof with a 6x9 back but it is very slow to operate but
at least the lens is made for magnifications in the 12:1 to 1:12
region). Does anyone have any experience of using enlarging lenses on
bellows for this purpose? any recomendations gratefully recieved.
NB. I have both Canon and Nikon 35 mm macro/micro systems and yes I
would prefer to use medium format if possible. If its possible to get
good magnification on large format why not medium format?

<p>Last year I spent 2 weeks camping in the north of Finland in February/March. The camera I used was a little Sony DSC-TX5. I also had six batteries as there was no opportunity to recharge. I will be returning in February 2014 and want to take a better camera, one that can do long exposures to capture the Northern Lights. I'd also like a camera with a sensor no smaller than that of the Nikon 1 compact system cameras. As temperatures are expected to average about -20 Celsius and may drop to -40C I will be operating the camera with gloves on. Ideally I don't want to spend a small fortune but money is not a major concern.<br>
So (finally) my question is what camera (+ six batteries) can you recommend for my holiday landscape/people snapshots?</p>
