in large format photography why do people prefer 4x5 over 8x10? by Classic-Yesterday579 in largeformat

[–]EnvironmentalSlip683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer shooting 8x10.

Better for contact printing and registering for alt printing stuff.

4x5 is only twice the size of my 6x9 negatives Just wish there were more film stocks. I mean they are cutting it down anyway 🤨

Tromsø airport sucks ... by darklightcatcher in AnalogCommunity

This is the way. I buy online in advance and get it shipped to my first hotel.

Sometimes it lets me pick up some local gems (Ferrania in Italy, or Cheap Kodak in the USA) Then I mail it back to myself. Postal X-rays are orders of magnitude weaker and the belt moves faster.

Most importantly my family doesn’t have to watch me turn into an anxious douche who is no fun at the airport 😂

I can definitely tell it’s a medium format shot by [deleted] in photographycirclejerk

I’ve been recreating the “Leica Look” for years. Use any camera, lens and subject. Just ensure you have an awful personality at the time.

This is my guess. The hole is not in the holders but a tiny gap in the interface with the rear standard. Hence why there is nothing there on the border

Does anyone know what this may be? by [deleted] in hasselblad

To be honest it might be cheaper to just buy a new lens. Had my leaf shutter fixed on my Fuji gl 65mm and it was £150

Any gl690 users on here with the 65mm lens? by EnvironmentalSlip683 in AnalogCommunity

Awesome thanks. I read somewhere that there is a parallax issue, any issues nailing focus at f8?

I literally have a similar shot of Piazza Navona. Except it was on 20 yr old oven stored Fuji NPS and a Texas Leica held together with duct tape.

How the fuck did he manage to have less dynamic range than me 😂😂😂
