    FS Schneider Variogon 140-280 f/5.6 PQ

    I've been holding to this lens for as long as I could... It is as close to mint as it gets. In fact, it never saw real daylight. I used it in a studio mainly for product work and beauty because of its 1:5 magnification feature and occasionally for portraiture when I needed a strong telephoto...

    A Lady of The Leland

    This is from a yesterday's shoot. I am blessed with the best support crew :) The Leland Hotel is one of the weirdest places in Detroit. Some floors look like a bomb went off there. Yet the place is full of both guests and long-term tenants... Contax 645/P25, 3.5/55, Broncolor C80

    FS: BUNCH OF ROLLEI AND CANON TOYS

    Hi guys, It's being a long and painful battle with myself, but eventually I convinced myself that having all this stuff on a shelf does not do any good neither to me nor it the stuff. So... I am looking for a good home for the following: Rollei 6008AF / Rollei dp20 kit - practically new 16mpix...

    back from china

    i taught a week-long workshop in china, just got back. eighteen hours in the air sucks even in business class. the trip, however, was mind-blowing. http://www.shanidze.com/WebGalleries/china-color http://www.shanidze.com/WebGalleries/china-bw

    B&W nude with P25

    I am still learning this back, but it seems to be going well. 30 minutes wasted in photoshop taught me that nudes meant for B&W have to be shot at ISO250 or above.

    shogun's way

    it was one of the most bizarre shoots in my memory... as for technical mumbo-jumbo, this is mixed lighting: main (key) is a broncolor d160 flash with a grid standing on the left and bounced from a white wall on the right. fill is ambient. handheld. i swear, i did not smoke pot with her.

    C645, P25, Broncolor Mobilite and a little bit of latex shine

    Yesterday was my daughter's birthday, so I decided to shoot a little present for her. I bought a red snapper, and had a custom pitch-fork made in a local hardware store. Then I went to this chick I know... She was a model of choice for several reasons (being a wife of a brain surgeon is not one...

    as much fun with m8 as one can possibly get

    Sometimes i am amazed with how stupid I can be. I went shooting yesterday and took a spare battery for my visatec litepac, but forgot a battery for a digital back in a charger at home. so, i ended up shooting the whole thing with M8. Oh, I also packed four pocket wizards, but no interface cable...
