The Library module has a wealth of tools that are only barely visible,
and often overlooked. Watching people using it, many seem to organise
things only using the folder list on the left; some use collections as
well, but the filtering seems to be pretty much overlooked. I get a
terrible case of back-seat-driver-itis watching people paging through
hundreds of photos, or stabbing into one folder after another, trying to
find some photo or other when all they need to do is think about
filtering...
Hello,
This is a follow up to my previous 5x7 build (found here
(http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?107018-5x7-prototype )).
Again, it's a non-folding/wide-angle design to primarily fit the very
beefy Super-Angulon 165 f8. It can also acomodate a 210mm lens focused
to about 5 feet. I improved many things, mainly the lever driven spring
back, added front-shift and front-tilt movements and (hopefully) refined
the design. The bellow frames are held in place with neodymium magnets,
as is the rotating back.
All wooden parts are made from Bubinga, (almost) all metal is 6061
aluminum, the black rods/tubes are carbon fiber, the ground glass is
hand-ground and laser scored 1/8" acrylic, the back leaf-springs are cut
from phosphor bronze and the bellows are made out of the Thorlabs BK5
fabric.
Thoughts and suggestions are very welcome.
JP

- based photographer Mat Marrash has been working in large format photography for the past six years — a span longer than pretty much any other hobby that’s emerged in his life. He has also spent a lot of time thinking about why photography has had such a big impact on him.
He shares those musings with us in this 2.5-minute video by Rooted Content.
“Large format is the type of hobby that pulls you in and takes you down the rabbit hole,” writes the studio. You can view examples of Marrash’s work over on his website and Flickr...
