Matt I recently purchased the X-Rite Passport and initial results for location work seem to be working reasonably well, but will readily admit I have not dug my heels in to milk the most out of it yet. I did however use it on my recent trip to Zion NP and noticed some benefits.What do you super pros utilize? :lecture:
After market ground glass are available and well worth having which would make a huge difference in some of the dark places you are photographing in. That said I would also encourage you to look at some lighter, smaller and easier to setup cameras than the two mentioned above. Ebony has a near cult following amongst their users, and some are very light and easier to setup than the Canham DLC.thanks mang I am still looking at a large format camera maybe a sinar F2 but I really want a Canham DLC its a big step I went out with my friend the ground glass he has on his sinar was bright as hell and easy to focus...
I currently use two LF cameras, the Cambo Ultima in the studio, and a Zone VI for location work. I have also taken the Cambo many times on location as well though it is a bit heavy to be lugging around extensively, let alone hiking any distance with. And I have also used my Zone VI for studio work on many occasions. One of the nice things about the Cambo Ultima is the extensive modular capabilities of the camera system. It can be used with DSLR's, MFDB's, LF digital such as Betterlight or Phase One and of course film, both 4x5 and MF with the right adaptor/holders.well I guess my question is what you use and why , I remember you mentioning doing architechural work etc, what set up do you have currently and why?
thanks

I really appreciate your responses btw very very helpful
You're welcome, Matt. Hope you find something that works.thanks Lloyd
I agree, and these are really nice. I especially like that second one. Nice glow.thanks been doing the color by numbers for a while but that hand tinting if not over done looks pretty darn cool
