Me, the Shen Hao 4x5 and an Auto Rally

Very nice. How are you converting the negatives to digital?
By the way, that camera is pretty cool. A lot lighter than my big rail camera.

How are you determining exposure? No criticism just curious about LF process.

I have a bunch of poker chips in my pocket. Each one has a different aperture and shutter speed combination on it. I pull them all out, toss them in the air, and whichever one lands closest to my feet is the exposure I use.














Sometimes I use my Gossen Starlite meter.

I was just looking at that scanner. Thanks for posting this as I think I'll drag out my 4x5 after all and get some film. I also still have some old negatives from way back....

Be aware: The CanoScan can only scan 2¼" wide film.

I've figured out how to scan 4x5s with it because I'm a cheap bastid who hasn't ponied up for an Epson V700 or V750 yet.

Epson V700/V750 is now V800/V850. The 850 looks like it has better optics but I'm not ready to shell out that much yet.
