<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I really need to print 4x5 negatives with the black border.<br>

I'm planning to print them very very big using the roll paper 30x40 and so I really need a glass carrier.</p>

<p>My question is: can I file a 4x5 glass carrier negative?</p>

<p>I'm sure there is a way to do that, cause Avedon did it!</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Francesco</p>

<p>I was thinking about an idea..<br>

what if I create a mat board with a 5x7 cut (just slighty larger for the black border and than I can make me create a 5x7 glass that I put just on the the negative.</p>

<p>Do you think it can work?<br>

thanks </p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm reading a lot on the web about contact printing, but I couldn't find a valid answer. <br>

I would like to contact print 5x7 negatives on 11x14 sheets leaving the white around the photograph. </p>

<p>What is really the best technique ever to do that?<br>

Do I have to build a frame?<br>

Thanks,</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I'm really having hard times focusing with my Linhof Technika III and I quickly need to do some changes.</p>

<p>I suppose that the best way to make it easier is to buy a fresnel.</p>

<p>Which one that will fit with my camera do you think is the best?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot,</p>

<p>Francesco</p>

<p>thanks a lot for the advices, I'll let you know soon what I think.</p>

<p>Francesco</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for the advices.<br /> I think I definitely go for a f.9 #1 shutter, now i've just to find a good and not so expensive one. I think I would like to spend no more than 400usd.<br /> I've never used long lenses, and i've no so much experience with the 4x5 camera.<br /> I need this long lens for 1:1 ratio shots and some of them with studio lights or flash.<br /> Do you think a 300mm is it a good lens to do that?<br /> Do you think I would have problems with the bellow somehow?</p>

<p>Thanks so much</p>

<p>Francesco</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was wondering if a 300mm Copal 3 shutter would fit on my Linhof Technika III.<br>

Let say for example the 300mm Schneider 5.6</p>

<p>Thanks a lot,</p>

<p>Francesco</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>So, I think I would go for the f.8 <br>

The only doubt I have is that I don't know if I could need that wider stop of the f 5.6<br>

I was trying to figure out how shallow would be the dof at f.8, because maybe for these portraits I don't need a super shallow depth of field, but in the future I really could need it.<br>

What do you think? it's not easy to make a decision..</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the advices. <br /> I think I'll go for the super angulon 5.6<br /> I think I would prefer the nikkor but it's more expensive.<br /> I've also another doubt. <br /> All of you are writing about the super angulon f.8<br /> Why not about the 5.6?<br /> Which are the advantages of the f.8?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot</p>

<p>Francesco</p>

<p>What about the 90mm super angulon 5.6?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I've a Linhof Technika III.<br>

I want to shoot environmental portraits with a 90mm and I would like to know if there's a lens that can give me good result shooting around f8.</p>

<p>(I have an extra lens board)</p>

<p>Thanks a lot,</p>

<p>Francesco</p>

<p> </p>

<p>thanks so much everyone. I'll try to test by myself both of them. Anyway I think I'll go for the .58 also because I'm pretty sure that I won't need any lens longer than 50mm.<br>

The problem is that it's not so easy to find. <br>

Anyway thanks,<br>

and happy holiday guys</p>

<p>Ok, I'm sorry if this question has been repeated a lot, but I'm pretty confused and everywhere I read different answers.</p>

<p>I don't wear glasses. I want to buy a Leica M6 and I will use it only with 28mm, 35mm and 50mm lenses.</p>

<p>I think my answer should be the .58 finder, or not??</p>

<p>I read that with a 50mm is very hard to focus with the .58 finder. </p>

<p>What do you think? .58 or .72?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot,</p>

<p>Francesco</p>

<p>Thanks for the advices. <br>

Actually I have another question. <br>

In my opinion, in black and white photography, processing and printing your negatives by yourself is fundamental.<br>

Is this the same with color photography?<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>Ok, let say this type of look, of Joel Meyerowitz<br>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Hi everyone. <br>

I've never shot color film, always b&w.<br>

I want to try it. Today I was watching this<br>

<p>That's a Jeff Mermelstein's interview and I was stricken by his photographs.<br>

The look of his photographs is what I want to have. <br>

Which color film should I use to have that look?<br>

Thanks everyone</p>
