  1. <p>What works for one, it may not work for another. I shoot sheet film (4x5 & 5x7) and it requires more time to set things up....occasionally I do medium format too. Although digital is quite different, I normally use the same approach for both. While I don't even try to shoot film around wildlife (unless it's completely motionless), doing that with digital required different and quite intense approach. I'm assuming this is not another digital vs film discussion.<br> Les</p>
  2. <p>You can find these at flea-bay....under Large Format Lenses. I happen to have a nice 203mm Voightlander (brass) from over 100yrs ago and it would take a specialist to attach a 6" tube (appx) + helicoil, so one could focus properly. It's designed for 5x7 film rig. Whether you get one that's $200 or over 1K, getting it to work with a DSLR could be bit challenging....contact SK Grimes and they could give you an estimate what will it take to do this kind of work.</p> <p>Les</p>

  5. <p>Agree w/Roger above, my 50/1.4 AIS (sample below) is better than the 1.8D. But, one can spend "yuge" amounts of cash for Schneider or Zeiss and ultimately it's up to the operator's technique and the visual that's chosen....and certainly less about sharpness of the optics.</p> <p>Les</p><div></div>
  6. <p>Intended as a test for 50/1.8, but....</p><div></div>
  7. <p>If you are serious, you'd get a support that will last you a long time (lifetime ?)....I mean 3 legs without the middle column. There are several that you can choose from and they don't have to cost $1000. But, that's up to you.<br> Les</p>
