    Looking for the suitable lumbar/sling packs for Alpa combination gear.

    This one is almost the same size, and would probably be better for city walking: Think Tank Retrospective 20 No belt, but you may not want one in this case. I'm not pushing Think Tank, it's just what I have here to fit test. I think there are lots of bags in this size range. Dave

    Looking for the suitable lumbar/sling packs for Alpa combination gear.

    Here is a picture of my Think Tank Speed Racer v2, which of course is no longer available. In it I have the 12+ vertically; looks like plenty of space on the sides for your grips. 17mm TS adapter mounted on the 12+. Upper left is the Rodi 138f. On the right the IQ 4 150 with 34mm adapter...

    Looking for the suitable lumbar/sling packs for Alpa combination gear.

    I have the 12+, but without the grips. The Shimoda inserts are the deepest, second by the ThinkTank/Mindshift. When I get home I will get some dimensions for you. Dave

    UV filter protection

    Yeah, I don't always bring the 35xl, so two lenses would be sk 60xl and Rodi 138f. I had the 100s when I first got into MF. Wish I still had it! Dave

    UV filter protection

    I don't currently, but I've gone back and forth. I generally only carry three lenses. Two of them have hoods (138 and 60xl), while the 35xl has the CF. Dave

    Schneider-Kreuznach APO-DIGITAR 43mm XL need for center filter?

    I never used the 43xl with the 3100, but I did use the 60xl with that back frequently. I think you will want the CF, but maybe “need” is too strong of a statement. It depends on what you shoot. I also used the 35xl with that back. I would say the CF was necessary with that combination. I think...

    CamIf Abort Capture IQ4

    Yes, this^. You tap the shutter button on the back, then you have ~ 4 (?) seconds to press the copal shutter to fire the shot. Or Kapture Group / Alpa Sync cable. I will verify all this when I get home tonight. Dave

    IQ180 - Remote Shutter Release not working anymore

    You can save a style, which I suppose it technically a document. But you can't read it outside of C1: Then check all the boxes for which settings you want saved in the next step, just before saving:

    IQ180 - Remote Shutter Release not working anymore

    Dumb question: is there a style or some other auto adjustment being added to the image you don’t know about? Dave

    Antarctica Anyone

    I've been once, just this past December. The scenery is amazing, especially the west side of the peninsula; Lemaire Channel, The Gullet, Paradise Bay, Neko Harbour, Wilhelmina Bay are all wonderful as are many other locations. There are plenty of penguin colonies, seals, whales and various...

    IQ180 - Remote Shutter Release not working anymore

    After spending some time with the file and working on the profile(s), I finally understand what you mean by a well-exposed painting vs a well-exposed card. Theoretically there should be no difference. On the left is a variant adjusted to get the card reading reasonably good lab values vs the SG...

    IQ180 - Remote Shutter Release not working anymore

    Here is a Lumariver Profile with the curve loaded from std IQ180 profile curves instead of linear. I think it is better, and I didn't have to boost exposure as far; 0.39 instead of 0.52. Dave

    IQ180 - Remote Shutter Release not working anymore

    Well, I tried Lumariver. Definitely does not have the same orange issue. I have a choice of what curve to use, and I chose linear, which gives a bit flatter image than other options. If you think this is promising I can try another with a curve applied. I did still have to boost the exposure 1/2...

    IQ180 - Remote Shutter Release not working anymore

    I've been quiet on all this because I don't have much help to offer. It has been several years since I did any ICC profiling. I haven't had the need since P1 came out whith their new-ish "Pro-Standard" profiles for the new backs. I do remember good exposure being important to a good profile. I...

    Opinion on SK 35 APO Digitar XL

    It is a little bit wider than the 40hr. The 40 is really 42mm, and the 35xl is really 36mm. It is the primary reason I like the 35xl: I prefer the 24mm equivalent vs the 40hr's 27mm equivalent. I think the 35xl is great on the 4150, as long as you don't expect to shift to much (as others have...

    IQ180 - Remote Shutter Release not working anymore

    Hi Kevin, I cannot help much, but several years ago I was creating custom icc profiles for my IQ3100 and it worked fine with some very basic Fiilex LED lights. I am pretty sure whatever issues you have are not because you are using LED's as the source, unless they are non-photographic shop...

    Leveling base with Arca Cube?

    I used to have one on my RRS-3 tripod. If you are planning on stitching with the cube by rotation, then it helps to have the whole head level. In cases where you are tilted up or down (some Pitch), if you swing the camera from the top panning device it will induce some Roll as you pan. If you...

    Overexposure IQ4 Live view

    Ok, then something else is going on. Most of us complain about the opposite. Can you tell me what firmware you have? It is in the bottom of the main menu under "About." I have System v8.01.0 IQ v6.03.18 As Victor said above, I seem to remember earlier versions tended to overexpose more. Can...

    Overexposure IQ4 Live view

    I can read this two ways: Are you saying: Exposure Simulation produces an image on the back's screen that is brighter than it should be. Exposure Simulation produces an image on the back's screen that appears too dark, and when you adjust to get what appears to be a correct exposure on the...
