    If you make it 300mm, your 150mm lens will, if I remember correctly, will be able to focus to 1:1 for close up photography. The lens that you are using is not a true telephoto design so infinity should be at about 150mm from the film plane. Longer to focus closer. Are you only designing for this lens?

    I didn't notice that it was a screen shot. Nice catch . . . My guess is that it's the display of the image that is the issue, not the scan.. Try post the actual file here instead of the screen capture.

    D750 and Irix 11mm f4 This is now hanging in my living room as a 72x20 canvas.

    First, success of a "website" doesn't define who is "in or out" . . . More importantly, ANY photographer producing platinum prints, from a Leica, Hassy, view camera or Holga, is likely able to charge more for their photography than anyone making color prints (dye transfer excluded) is going to command. This has NOTHING to do with street photography.

    Street photography WAS mostly restricted to B&W for a long time because of the lack of high speed color films. But, I think that the idea that color has been "shut out" is pure nonsense. Price sales are not the way to judge, particularly when vintage prints are involved. For one, in many cases they are older but also because a great many were printed by the photographer which adds to the value.

    By the way . . . Back to the original issue . . .. I once bought a used Mamiya RB body very cheap because the owner said that it "wouldn't focus to infinity". After I got it home and played with it for about an hour, I discovered that the ground glass was installed in the frame upside down. Disassembled, reassembled and then shot hundreds of weddings with that body! I've owned for over 25 years and it's now worth just about what I paid for it.

    The key word is "pressure" . . . It's the pressure plate and it's designed to hold the film extremely well in something like you Rollie. In cheaper cameras with worn metal or plastic parts, this could be a problem but the center of the film is almost always flat and in proper registration. Every once in a while, I start to wonder how we ever took sharp images in the 70's and 80's . . . We were barely even aware that something like this could be an issue.

    I don't think that cropping is the issue so much as context. There's no reference to time or place in this image. The turntable is forced to stand on it's own. It look likes this was your intention but I think that it distracts from the image. Also the glass appears to be more of a "sunday" bowl than a drinking glass . . . Maybe a martini glass?

    She probably means weeks or months before the wedding. Do some research. If you're not familiar with off camera lighting, you may be able to do it by window light. You can also find someone more familiar with boudoir work and hire them as an assistant to help you learn. It could turn out to be worth the investment.

    My father was bringing home about $55/wk as a young engineer when I was born in 1960!

    These came with a pile of other used gear that I bought. I shoot Nikon so I have no use for these. I can also toss in a Turbo battery and cable if it seals the deal. Open to offers. Mainly looking for a good home and to offset the cost of the rest of what I bought.

    After 14 years of owning iPhones, I've actually decided to look back and post some of the images I've created over the years.

    The guy in the video may have inhaled a little too much developer . . . As a wedding photographer, I changed 1000's of rolls of 120/220 outdoors all times of year in all sorts of weather without any problems. The situation is not nearly as dire as described.
