studio

from james (james_mickelson@hotmail.com)
Chris, my suggestions were just that. I have used a Speed effectively shooting portraiture. When you learn to use it correctly it is very portable and convenient. It was used in the studio for years mounted on a tripod or used hand held with flash. Back then they used film packs to speed up the process instead of roll film backs. Roll film is fine but you are losing the very thing you went to a larger format to accomplish. I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm just wondering why is all. A Bronicaw/lens goes for around $400 and a Kowa or Kiev for around $200/$300. That's if you wanted more portability. Just some suggestions. Your set up sounds fine for studio portraiture. Set ups like this were used for decades. James
