wrote: So yes, I do shoot B&W film, I agree that it is better than shooting digital and converting to B&W, but I was looking for an alternative way of producing a print once a digital image has been obtained, or an alternative to an enlarger. It shouldn't be difficult to find a lab in your area that could write the file to a 4X5 or 6X9 negative. == John S. Douglas Photographer & Webmaster Legacy-photo.com - Xs750.net |

One of the worse was the time I lugged the 45 and the 810 plus film holders,....meters and various gizmos and of course my Reis pod. While I didn't carry much equipment (only my Pentax MZ60 and the wife's HP R707, and my tripod), one of my worst hill climbing experiences was when I went to catch a sunset behind Southeast Queensland's Glasshouse Mountains. I pulled up at a carpark at the base of a hill, with a short walk ahead of me of about 700m, with a 200m climb. No big deal, (wouldn't have been 10 years ago anyway), but I am incredibly unfit these days. Light was rapidly fading, so I went up as fast as I could. By the time I made it to the top I thought I was about to die of a heart attack. Anyway, looked at the camera - shot 25 of a roll of 27 crappy agfa 400 colour film that I had had in for snapshooting earlier in the day. No worries, I'll just fire off these 3 shots, then load some velvia for the good stuff. Then it hit me - I was at the top of this hill - the film was in the car, at the bottom of the hill. |

How about steeper ? One of the worse was the time I lugged the 45 and the 810 plus film holders,....meters and various gizmos and of course my Reis pod. A Reis ? That little thing ? LOL ! Try a Bogen 3051 w/3057 head. Mine weighs in around 20 pounds. Now add the Zone VI 4X5 with bag, 3 lenses, 10 Hoffman metal film holders, Calumet C2N and so forth. The 645 was that POS by Mamiya. It was quite complete and stayed in my waste pack along with the Nikkormat FTN. By the time I made it back down the trail my legs felt like rubber bands that had been stretched waaaaay too far ! == John S. Douglas Photographer & Webmaster Legacy-photo.com - Xs750.net |

I was only 3 weeks out of Georgia and had months to go. I haven't yet figured out how to carry the usual 30-40 lbs needed for multi-day backpacking plus the extra 20-30 lbs needed for LF photography. Sherpas? One of these days I should pose that question to Jerry Greer or David Muench. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com |
