Thats very empty haha, whats up with the space at the top why no pockets for stuff. what bag?

[Captain Crunch]

The top space is for my D80 and the bottom left space is for my flash (which were out because i took that photo with them).

It's an Adorama Bag. Rather cheap and bulky but I needed something that could fit the mamiya and the digital.

[lukepeeters]

Thats why i bought it (second pic)
Just need to sell my Mono rail.

[Brendan O.]

do the folding field cams still have tilt swing and shift? i know some have limited movements.

that thing is a work of art though

Yes they have allot more than you would think. My Toyo seems more precise and allot more smooth to move all the movements but this thing is so small and light i love it.

All i want now is a 6x7 roll film holder, your going to see allot from this thing this year.

5x4 are seriously impossible to shoot at night you can see the image for shit.

[chaz]

What kind of camera is that? I have a speed graphic and I love it, but I want something with more motions.

Use a bright laser pointer. Shine it on something, focus till the dot is sharp. You can even map the image out on the ground glass to compose and use movements. Very useful. I do it all the time even when it's not totally dark, because it's way easier to say, focus on the front surface of something smooth, when you shine the laser on it. Otherwise, if there is no texture you have to like squint and shit. Anything you want sharp, shine the laser on it and focus till the spot is small. It's like having selective AF points, uh, kind of. I've even done swing to get different elements in focus. There's a keychain laser pointer permanently magnet'd in my speed graphic.

Its most likely the same design as you graphic its just wooden. Its a Wista 45Dx Rosewood.

Ill try your technique out, thanks.

Wista makes a really nice 4x5.  I was going to buy one before I got the deal on my Tachihara.  You'll shoot a bunch more LF now that it's so portable!

Tachihara's look very good, what lenses you use?

[alliance-bmx]

I have a 150mm Fujinon f/5.6 W.  It's a really nice all around lens.  I do want a 240mm or something though.  I use it almost exclusively for portraiture so a longer lens would be pretty awesome.

[austrian]

some guy offerd it for a pretty good price, so i had to get it.

[John B]

thats a great lens, a little heavy, but my favorite nikon long lens. i used it on one shoot and was really impressed by the autofocus. if i ever have an enormous amount of left over cash, i will buy one for myself.
