    S4

    Stop shouting that! I'm just on the verge of affording a 45mm or a 180mm, but you shouting about it is going to put them beyond my reach again. Shush! Cheers, Duff. ;)

    Best publisher to approach for photo-book

    Thanks Pieter. In the 7 years since I posted this thread, I became thoroughly disillusioned with photo books. It seems every Tom, Dick, and Harry is "publishing" their own photo book, just as when the same lot were setting up websites as a certain route to photographic fame and fortune. Nearly...

    Best 1:1 macro options for digital Blads?

    As hasselblad 503cw says, if you are able use a bellows, that will open up a lot more options which include "large format" macro lenses such as Schneider's and Rodenstock's 'digital' versions of their macros. They are not only high resolution, but also flat field. They can be had for between...

    Two good tips for wildlife photography, intermediary.

    No links from me I'm afraid, but I'd like to point out a few obvious things regarding wildlife photography, but not related to the equipment. These are... 1. The welfare of the subject, and organisms around it, comes first, whether it's an orchid, ant or elephant. If you are going to cause...

    Ignore this thread. Mod's please delete. Ta.

    I’m back (sort of)… with the Leica S 006!

    It's utter **** when someone so loved is ripped away from you. Not "taken" as the cliche goes. It's an act of unadulterated violence. You'll never heal, but is does get better, or rather less bad. I find part of the grief is that they are not there to continue and take joy in what they were...

    Thoughtful pics of fauna...

    In English, a Red Underwing, or to give it it's scientific name Catocala nupta. Rood weeskind in Dutch, perhaps the same in Flemish. Sorry for naming it. My OCD is acting up again 😁 Cheers, Duff.

    True Resolution of film

    The video seems generally legit. He over-emphasises a few things like contrast and that 800 lp/mm large format film would outperform everything - it would if it existed and had the lens that could convey that resolution to the film (that too, doesn't exist), but does balance out the theoretical...

    Adobe and privacy

    A well timed post Jorgen! I just watched this... Gamers Nexus - USA sues Adobe where Gamers Nexus covers the news of the US government suing Adobe over consumer protection issues. The piece starts at 09.54. Gamers Nexus has done some good investigative journalism, most recently covering...

    Contax 645 Digital Back suggestions

    No worries. Those two cameras, while being old in some eyes, are as good as anything around at the moment. Angels on a pin head and all that. These and other cameras will outperform the photographer in most cases. As an aside, I used to own a C645 (for film) but sold it when I was told digital...

    Generative landscape art – a (horror) vision of the future of photography?

    Yet a critical eye will notice oddities such as the shadows of the 'departed' subjects; the bricked up doorway, the odd brick work that has no reason to be there, etc. I guess the more complicated the image and the more stuff that needs to be removed, the easier it is to spot these errors...

    Contax 645 Digital Back suggestions

    As tcdeveau says, options are very scarce and those that pop up for sale are quickly snapped up for high prices. In addition, none of the back makers produce anything in the C645 mount any more so your options are limited to used CMOS backs if you want NO noise. These are even scarcer. A Phase...

    Thoughtful pics of fauna...

    Ought to add my bird photo's... From a while back. Nesting Black-headed Gull in amongst the rushes. Ye olde Nikon D300s and 600mm f4 VR. Cropped. Cheers, Duff.

    Atmospheric Phenomena

    Okay... ...then it really got going. Strong enough to cast shadows. This event was classed as a G5 (extreme) by NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, the strongest since 2003. I was just lucky enough to be watching and photographing it when it hit. Must have been quite the something further...

    Atmospheric Phenomena

    Howdo all, We don't have a thread for photographs of stuff that happens above our heads. So here it is. This thread is intended to be a depository for all things that happen in our atmosphere - thunder storms, meteors, sprites, tornadoes, cloud formations, etc. The only thing not allowed, if I...

    Ageing photographers and the weight. Simplicate and add lightness.

    ...or kids. Small enough not to rebel. Cheers, Duff.

    A macro lens for the view camera

    Bu**er! I used his site a lot when I was sorting out my micro photography set-up, so I owe him thanks. I hope his site stays up somehow, so that the work he did doesn't fade away. Thanks, Duff.

    Inkjet vs c-type prints in 2024

    One of the principal reasons of going (colour) c-print was its marketability. From my past experience, the 'knowing' paying public view such a print as a true 'photographic' print, or (as you put it Paul) a museum grade print. However, over the last few weeks of investigation, I'm increasingly...

    What F-Stop range do you use

    Depends on the application. In other words, all, except f32. Cheers, Duff

    Your favourite “bang for the buck” lenses

    Another lens or rather series of lenses are the Yashica lenses for the 35mm Yashica/Contax mount. All from the SSB's to the ML's (I've only tried the primes, so can't comment on the zooms). Said to be a cheaper and lesser alternative to Zeiss, but I find they can keep up with their bigger...
