Variation on the last one – think of it as the now obligatory bokeh test. Ian only one word "SUPERB" More please . I feel frozen atmosphere through your pictures. These pictures have as I call a "soul" Very pleasant to watch ,with soft color , I think the Summaron have a small part in it , specially this special frozen and subtle green color !

One of the most photographed locations in the UK but unlike many other places that often attract hordes of photographers, Bamburgh always seems peaceful and deserted.

Living in the moment with a peaceful sunrise, exactly as I like it. Fuji GX617 Fuji Velvia 50 Great image Steve! Just wondering since I'm considering a panorama camera myself; do you use graduated ND filters with your Fuji; and if so, how do you use them? I find them almost impossible to use with my G(S)W690, so that's why I'm asking. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Yes, I do use graduated nd filters but accurate placement can be hit and miss when using rangefinder and direct vision viewfinder cameras. I have fitted calibrated rangefinder face blades to my Lee filter holders which takes away some of the guesswork, but experience is the only way to use grads successfully. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk If you are thinking of wide format for personal use or to try it out, you may find the 2:1 aspect ratio of 6x12 far more practical in many situations compared to the 3:1 ratio of 6x17. Cameras such as the Horseman 6x12's are very portable. In any case, you will need a scanner that is capable of bringing out the best of the format (think Imacon), or there is little point in the outlay imo. I've had my Fuji 617 outfit for many years, it was bought for the specific purposes of supplying calendar images and wall art. I also used a Cambo Wide 470 with a 6x12 back until I sold it a couple of years ago, the format is often easier on the eye and makes better use of paper when printing. One thing you may need to consider, especially if you want to use transparency film and pay for processing, is that with 6x17cm you will only get 4 exposure on a 120 roll. Add your processing costs and it can easily cost you €7+ every time you make an exposure. It is not economical photography, if that is a consideration! However, when you get a nicely composed and correctly exposed 6x17cm Velvia transparency on the light box....wow!

honcho Posted January 28, 2017 Share #27096 Posted January 28, 2017 All 6x17 and 6x12 cameras are behemoths. Twenty years ago I didn't think twice about packing the Fuji GSW690iii and Fuji GX617 with 90mm and 180mm lenses, film, filters, tripod, lightmeter etc in a backpack and hauling it all up and down the hills of the UK. These days at 62 years old, I know about the weight on my back! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the weight/volume of a 612/617 could be about the same I hope.. ;-) Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you can cope with all that, they make a formidable landscape and travel outfit! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
