    Travel security experiences

    Also, when travelling, my images are backed up to two SSDs. One goes in checked luggage and one in carry-on, like you might do for important medication.

    Travel security experiences

    I left a travel tripod on my seat on a bullet train years ago and reported it to Japan Railways immediately. Nobody took it, JR found it, and delivered it to me for about five bucks, hundreds of km away within 36 hours. Japan is a great place to travel with camera gear.

    Arca Swiss Pico, GFX, and 35BR

    Warren, do you have any photos of the Pico with the 35 and GFX attached? What makes it more enjoyable to use, compared to the Actus? Thanks, Steve.

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    Is a Cambo Actus a camera? Is it a way of bringing Nikon and Canon users "up" into MFD, or digital/film view or technical cameras? Yes and yes, I think. I shoot Sony A1 for my aviation photography but had used Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc DSLR and mirrorless, mostly for travel and landscape for...

    Behind the scenes

    Yes, given that the fpL uses the same basic Sony sensor tech as several larger formats and costs a fraction of those alternatives, the bang for the buck is excellent. With this particular lens I am getting outstanding resolution and with the Actus can stitch across 80mm horizontal or 63mm...

    Behind the scenes

    Trying out the Rodenstock 100mm f/4 Apo-Sironar Digital HR. It is very sharp across the (80mm wide stitched) frame. Also trying out the ISO6 frame stacking mode on the Sigma fpL for 30 second exposures at f/11. Processed in C1 22 only. Not a great image, but the sunset app said 98% chance of a...

    Still happy with the Grandagon, John?

    Glencoe & Isle of Skye, a story and a LF Portfolio

    Love them all, but 1 and 4 are my favourites. Black and white is perfect for these.

    It seems that there are many YouTube videos showing how to upgrade to Win 11, without the TPM requirement. Here is one:

    Questions about using LCC plates.

    Thanks John. Very helpful :)

    Questions about using LCC plates.

    Thanks Rob. If I shoot against a wall, would it need to be just any neutral grey?

    Questions about using LCC plates.

    Hi Rob, Thanks for that. I use a Sigma fpL which uses a Sony 61MP BSI sensor. Even so, I believe that I do see cyan at the periphery of the stitched shots made with the Sinar 60mm F/4 HR, which surprised me somewhat. Does the wall colour have to be neutral i.e. a mid-grey? Epstar83, yes, I do...

    Questions about using LCC plates.

    I purchased LCC plates, although I have not used them yet. I use Capture One and have watched some tutorials on the process. But...I have questions. * I understand that when I shoot the LCC image I need to add two stops of light via a longer shutter speed. Is that right? * I like to shoot at...

    Positive feedback for Alkibiades

    I recently bought a Sinar Sinaron 60mm F/4 Digital HR lens from Alkibiades and I am very pleased with the communication, the process and of course, the lens itself. It was in immaculate condition, just as described. I would have full confidence buying from him again.

    Linos inspec.X L 60mm f/4

    Rob. Seeing is believing. The Mamiya N 65mm f/4 L is one amazing lens. It's such a shame that it has to be hacked so much to make it work for other purposes. And...that is a wonderful analysis and write up of the Linos. And...5 aperture blades for me on the regular version of the Rodenstock 60mm...

    View camera lens options most similar to a Canon TS-E 50 for product work

    However...I will say, for me, shooting at longer subject distances, the Mamiya M RZ67 50mm f/4.5 ULD is excellent. I agree that it is heavy and bulky compared to a lens like the diminutive 60 HR, but if its heft and distortion are not an issue, it is a very capable performer. I have never seen...

    Digaron-S HR 4/60 mm on 33x44 sensor like Fuji GFX100, hasselblad 907x100S, XD2

    Here is an example of the Rodenstock (Sinar) Digaron-S HR 60mm/F4, shot with 3 rows and 3 columns on a Cambo Actus G, stitched together. So 20mm shift left and right, 15mm rear fall and 12mm rear rise on a 36mm wide x 24mm tall sensor, making the coverage 76mm wide by 51mm tall. I have tried my...
