Lets infuse some serious rythm....<div></div>

<p>Little falls near Crater Lake, OR.</p><div></div>

<p>I'm familiar with Feisol 3371 CF (for taller folks) and it suits me perfect. Hey, anything below 5lbs is good for me, since I do hike away from the vehicle. In the last 5yrs ( ?) I've had this thing in sea water, sand, mud....but I do take care of it well and I think that's the insurance for keeping it. I've used 400/3.5 and even 500mm on it and no issues. However, v. often the tripod head (a good one) will cost about as much as the tripod itself. I went for Arca-Swiss....yes, it's an overkill, but I wouldn't go back to anything else. Additional note: the tripod fits into my duffle bag for travel (I do insulate it with clothes)....tho the head is removed....and I never have to deal with <em>"oh, that might be</em> <em>considered as a weapon"</em>. Anyway, your mileage might vary. Good luck deciding.</p> <p>Les</p>

<p>I think Pete pointed at right direction. I (also) have Calumet different model and it came with a physical yardstick and it's super easy to align the "measure" against the bellows (210mm) and one can easily see as to a compensation (in F-stop/s or fractions of a stop). Once you get the exact measurements for each lens, you can create your own cheat-yardstick....adjustment depends on where the bellows extend while the image is in focus.</p> <p>Les</p>

<p>The rule of thumb is 1.2 ratio of lens to extending bellows (on 4x5 rig). Anyway, your 360mm will need little over 14" of bellows. Make sure, however, that you compensate in exposure for *that* extension.</p> <p>Les</p>

<p>How you'd use lighting is v. instrumental, but you also need various things to stylize the hair, using appropriate clothing or props. If you intend to do things in color, you may need polish up how to tweak the saturation and contrast in the edit. Recently made color films have different properties and might need to be altered.<br> Also there are many books on glamour lighting (Hollywood type)....kind of a style from that era.</p> <p>Les</p>

<p>People discover old old b&w from war time and it's still good. You can test it by shooting just few frames and develope that. If it stayed in cool conditions, then you have v. little to worry about.<br> Les</p>

<p>Not exactly a DSLR scanner, but a doable idea. Whether one uses 55/60mm or 90/105mm macro, some nuts and bolts, wood and a chopsaw or hand saw....and it shouldn't be a big deal to get it done. Too many projects at the moment, but that's what I intend to do to copy my slides.</p> <p>Light source - video or flash, so long it is consistent. I intend to use PAR 20 LED bulb 400 lumens and adjust the color temp.<br> Groundglass/Plaxiglass - easily obtainable items on the web <br> Clips - reasonable in cost from Amazon</p> <p>Les<br> </p><div></div>
