>>2975100I have recommended that, especially with Velvia as everyone should have a chance to try it but in recent times I've started to slide away from that mentality. If we can't have the film anymore I'd almost rather not stock up because it will just let me down when I've gotten used to the film and then run out of it. Astia was an example of that, I quite liked that film for landscapes but then it was quickly discontinued. I think I still have two sheets in a box I've forgotten to use. E100g was another one I would have loved to have more time with, it was wonderful but I have trouble buying something I know I just won't be able to get again. I'm down to only 40 sheets of Velvia 50 left, so after that it will just be Provia, Ektar, and Portra for me unless the Velvia made in Japan starts getting shipped to the states again.
>>2975101Thank you, I appreciate it.
>>2975104The main camera of choice is a Toyo 4x5 field camera. The most used lens for it is my 90mm. If I want to go way further or the conditions prevent using 4x5 (high wind, dark canyons, faster moving subjects) then I've been using a Mamiya 6 for that. I also use a Fuji 6x17 for panos. None of those lenses have any sort of distortion so it's not something I so in my landscapes and I don't find it particularly appealing. The one thing that's nice about stitching images though is that you can get a view wider than with a rectilinear lens and a fixed film plane. For some landscape scenes that are so huge that could almost be a handy tactic but it's not one that I use.
>>2975105Thanks anon, it really was a wonderful trip.
>>2975112I'm working on a handmade printing process onto metal for b&w which will likely motivate me a tad. I haven't been shooting much b&w though, I think I have a dozen sheets from the last year that I haven't developed. At this point, I really don't even know what's on them.
Lake Erie, Ektar.
