    The great tripod & head thread!

    I know this is the "tri"pod thread but has anyone used the RRS QVC44 Quadpod? I'd never heard of such a thing. https://reallyrightstuff.com/qvc-44-quadpod/

    "An Intimate Conversation with Photographer Gregory Crewdson" (by Capture Integration YouTube channel)

    "Also a bit funny that they have multiple assistants to operate a P1 XT. I get it with a Sinar P2 and 8x10 ... but an XT?" No disrespect but I don't think you really understand how an XT is used on a commercial shoot. I set the XT camera to the exact composition I want and I never touch the...

    Arca Swiss D4 head variants?

    The Monoballfix is quite a bit cheaper than the other versions. Years ago I bought that version and replaced the Monoballfix clamp with a RRS clamp. It works great, I use it almost every day with RRS L brackets. I remember there being some blue Loctite on the clamp I removed and I used it on...

    A bit of a crazy piece of kit

    I've had some lenses modified by Duclos Lenses and they are top notch in the cine world. Here's a tilt shift swing adapter for cine cameras. If it wasn't so darn expensive it might be worth asking Matt Duclos if he could make one for a medium format camera...

    Petapixel: Phase One XC Review: A Camera in Search of a Photographer

    I went to a P1 demo of the XC at Samy's. It's tiny, basically the back and lens with a handle. The shutter button is in an awkward place. Not sure what the use case would be for it. The XT is plenty small with movements, interchangeable lenses, better shutter button and rotates from...

    Traveling to Iceland

    I use Ruggard Desiccant Silica Gel Packs for the camera bag to help with the moisture. Think Tank Photo Rain Cover to keep off snow (it's got plenty of room to operate camera.) Most people would think this is unnecessary but I wrap all seams and ports on my digital back with paper tape when...

    Free Arca Swiss Stuff

    No, the 6x9 film back is like the graflok Mamiya RB. http://mercurycamera.com/backs/complete-guide-to-graflok-23-backs-graflex-mamiya-rb67-horseman-and-mercury/

    Free Arca Swiss Stuff

    I have an Arca Swiss M-Two camera that I've collected various bit and bobs for over the years. I've got a few things that don't fit my Arca Swiss M-Two (they are for an older Arca Swiss camera.) Whoever wants them can have them for free plus shipping cost. I'm trying to clean out my cupboards...

    MPB Used P1 DB Purchasing Price List

    As someone that has bought six different Phase One backs from Steve I can not stress enough how important that support is. To be on set with dozens of people and know that help is just a call away is invaluable. I've also been out by myself and texted Steve, "Hey, I just got hit by a rogue...

    Tripod recommendation

    I have both the RRS TVC 34 w/ D4 and 34L w/ Cube. At 5'10" the TVC 34 w/ D4 is a perfect height. Bonus if you take off the top mounting plate of the TVC 34 it exactly fits in an international carry on suitcase. I also use mine with a 75mm bowl and Sachtler FSB 8 head. Works great.

    Copal 0 servicing

    I've heard good things about Flutot's Camera Repair unfortunately their backlog is huge. SK Grimes doesn't do shutter repair anymore (they have fantastic machinists though.) I've used Bob over at Precision Camera Works to repair a Copal 0 shutter and he's great...

    Oregon Coast and your MF camera choice?

    You don't need a 150/300 for Thor's Well, most people just walk right up to it. You need an incoming high tide. Morning is preferable for less crowds, afternoon has better light. Highly recommend staying in Yachats and dinner or a beer at the Drift Inn (they have live music most nights.)...

    C1 for iPad announces tethering for all currently supported cameras (EXCEPT PHASE ONE)

    I hope they got rid of the silly "bespoke photography" thing on the new website. I also hope it's not something more ominous. Axcel has a track record of cashing out their investments after 3 years. Check out graphic from the Axcel V fund. Also, https://axcel.dk/company/phase-one/

    Technical Camera Images

    Great photos Warren. I took Nick's class a number of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. He's a super nice guy and a huge wealth of knowledge on architectural photography. Funny story, the workshop assistant for your workshop accidentally sent me the Friday night dinner order. Somehow I got...

    Using an IQ4? What's your system?

    I can't believe that they are refurbished now. Kinda makes you wonder on build quality. I had to wait two and half months for mine

    Using an IQ4? What's your system?

    I don't think the Ultra processor is necessary for still files. I did an informal test regenerating previews of 1500 IQ4150 Achromatic images vs exporting 2tb of Freefly Wave files at 420fps. C1 definitely does not use all the computing power available to it. Maybe this changes in the future...
