<p>this lens is pretty hard to focus too but i think it would make a really cool portrait lens</p><div></div>

<p>a couple of 4x5 shots with an old brass B&L lens probably back around 1890 or so not really sure, aperature is around f8, warning this thing is soft. </p><div></div>

<p>ya i dont think i would shoot the ir sheet film unless i had brand new holders, i would be paronoid the entire time using the holders i have even though they seem in good shape, and processing the film would be another problem, i would be too worried i would fog the film some how, the efke sheet film that has the "halo" effect is really expensive compared to the regular kind, i think its somewhere close to 4.00 a sheet. </p>

<p>thanks for the nice comments, yeah peter i am using a roll film back, thought about getting the sheet film, but 2.00 a shot kept me from it lol. </p>

<p>another</p><div></div>

<p>here are a couple of images i shot today for a project im working on, hoping to have it all together in about 2 or 3 weeks. shot using the field camera and the 65mm SA. efke ir820 film</p><div></div>

<p>the 127 was my first LF lens and i had no problem with it covering 4x5, and its very sharp too</p>

<p>i have the shen hao also and love it, very light weight, 46 ounces i think without the lens</p>

<p>great images</p>

<p>I remember that brady bunch episode lol. </p>

<p>my medium format camera is a mamiya, they are really cheap and very good, i was thinking of a hassey but really couldnt justify the cost.</p>

<p>I have two: the first one was in the movie coal miners daughter, tommy lee jones was doing a picture of sissy spacek to be sent to the radio station with her record, he was using what looks like a crown graphic, he told her to pose, he set the shutter, put the film holder in and took the picture, but....he never pulled the dark slide out. <br>

2nd one, in the movie 13 going on 30, the girl hired her friend to do some images for a magazine layout, he was using what looked like a hassleblad, after all the images were done they were looking at the slides on the light table, most of them were 6x6, there was one 6x7 and the last one he took he was still using the hassey, but on the light table that image was clearly shot with a 4x5. anyone else got any......</p>

<p>thanks russ, yes it is. </p>

<p>one more, something got on the film in this one</p><div></div>

<p>one more, this was shot in more of an overcast down in savannah ga.</p><div></div>

<p>hi christian, here are a few images i did with the efke, these were shot at iso 3, same filter as yours, these were shot with a shen hao field camera with a 6x9 film back. i use a spot meter and find the brightest area on the foilage that is near what im photographing, place it on about zone 5 1/2, on really bright days, it seems to hit at around 1 sec @f16 like the above said. good luck</p><div></div>

<p>luis G, thats a good one, </p>

<p>people will allow you access to places that clearly say "no trespassing" just because you are toting a field camera, because they think there property will be featured in some magazine. (i love it : ))</p>

 

<p>lauren the filter is a hoya r72, thanks rick</p>

<p>last one, got something on the film on this one</p><div></div>

<p>forgot the picture</p><div></div>

<p>these were shot with the 47mm sa, my finger got in the way of this one. dang digits</p>

<p>im addicted to this stuff : ) i thought i was out but i found another roll, here is a couple of images made with it, same set up as before. </p><div></div>

<p>here is another one, i think the sun completley vanished with this one, this is next to river street, they say that it is like mardi gras there during st patricks day. </p><div></div>

<p>yes rick i was losing my patience quickly, thankfully i was sort of on vacation so i wasnt in too much of a hurry, actually i was in savannah to officiate a wedding, so i made a small vacation out of it too. yes i thought the first one had an errie feel, also the square too</p>
