Use your phone's camera to check the lower corners if you can't get your eye in there

Not a bad idea! I actually found that if I hold my head further away, I could also get a view of the bottom corner with a wide angle. It's a little tricky, but not impossible.

If you slide the rear forward to the front and use your long lupe to poke into the (lower 2) corners of the groundglass, is it hard to see if there is vignetting when using the 210mm? How far can you push the rear stardard forward before the vignetting starts to kick in? Better when using the 240mm? Will it solve the issue by using a longer lupe tube? The rear standard does not offer a possibility to rise, which would have solved the problem, I guess.
@shanedignumКүн бұрын
Hey Pat, using a loupe is a good idea. I was out photographing with the 210 yesterday. If I hold my head further away from the bottom corners, it is possible to get a view of the lens. It's just a little tricky, especially if you have the camera tilted upward a bit.

Hey@@shanedignum, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. I was running into the same issue this May when I exposed a sheet of film to make my shot here (KZread does not allow to post link to flickr, I will try to attach it in a separate message). I was using a 240mm apo symmar which has a small image circle and offers not much movement. I have risen the front standard and simultaneously tilted it downward to gain a bit more dof. Actually I was using the very same camera as yours. I have used it for many years and I attribute the vignetting to my operational negligence. While I can't rise the rear standard to provide better access to the 2 bottom corners of the ground glass which would have avoided the vignetting on the top of the shot, had I put more attention to this. It's not easy to lean my body forward a lot to come very close to the rear standard because the bottom plate goes against my chest and the rear standard was moved far toward the front, but it's still possible to workaround that by using a loupe with a longer tube which I have been a bit lazy to use while setting up the shot. There was very few camera which offers rear rise movement. I come across the Lotus camera which actually can. Cheers Patrick

Your darkroom is up and running! Congrats. On the second shot it seems the bellows was almost at full extension, no? Looked a bit precarious sitting on that ledge there. I liked the first shot of the second composition better than the last shot, I think having the cloud in there helped it. Just my two cents.
@shanedignumКүн бұрын
Yes! it's up and running. This camera has 36" of bellows, it was extended out to 24". I agree, I think I like the 1st exposure more.

Far too many people think that a snap with a mobile 'phone makes them a good photographer; stay by the side of the car and snap, that's it - maybe a few 'selfies' thrown in for good measure and posted too anti-social media. Oh, how wrong they are. Sir, you show what true photography is. The art form, the technical skill and, almost as importantly, a large format camera. I now use a 35mm SLR with a T/S lens due to a knee injury making carrying too much equipment less desirable than it once was. One body, one lens [sometimes a second as a just in case], a carbon fibre tripod, cable release, dark cloth and a set of filters. Pure, simple(?) and a joy to take time, to enjoy being outside spending time watching the light change.

There are other solutions, like the British Envoy Wide Angle camera, it is very light weight, with a Taylor & Hobson 25 mm lens, accepts 120 roll film, originally also sheet film. You don't need to focus, but dial in the correct F stop. This camera gives you 6 X 9 cm pictures.

It is great to see you back. Thanks for the update and looking forward to seeing more of your darkroom. Are you happy with it? If you don't mind I have one suggestion for you. When you show us your images could you put them on a black background instead of white? The images you showed have wonderful gray tones but with that bright white background it is difficult to appreciate them. It is much worse on my tv than computer but that bright light really takes away from the beauty of your subtle gray tones especially in the back lit images. Looking forward to your third season
