![]() ![]() I had never heard to the brand back then but was really impressed with the large prints. I remember reading he used an Alpa (and Linhof) for many of the photographs on display. Perhaps my questions are also relevant to others out there? Does anyone out there also use their Alpa with film and movements?Īlso, in 2005 I saw Luc Delahaye's History series in Amsterdam. The features that would benefit me most are shift movements, the option to use ground glass focusing when critical work calls for it, hand hold ability similar to my Mamiya 7 kit (all be it with zone focus,) and light weight and bulk of overall kit. I'm asking now because there have been a few threads here recently about technical cameras that have been of a great deal of help and I've got to thinking the Alpa 12 system might be good to step into in order to further what I'm exploring with my work. I must confess that right now I'm "tire kicking" in that I can't afford to part with the cash until early next year. I'm asking these questions but feel a little bad doing so. +Viewfinder with bubble level and matching custom mask with marks for movements. +SWA or STC body - Is it possible to "upgrade" to wakeup cable integrated parts if you don't buy into that model initially on the SWA? Both have sufficient image circle for movements with 6x7 and I'd only need to look at a 70mm option to flesh out the kit when going digital to complete my ideal kit.ģ: The eventual kit, not including lenses, could be the following: In this situation I'd look at getting the Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 5.6/90 mm *SB* and Schneider ALPA Apo-Helvetar 5.6/48 mm. In doing this, I'd also want to buy with an eye to my future ideal digital lens kit. ![]() I just want to clarify that the Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 5.6/70 mm is a good lens for film AND digital (40mpx) and the 100mm image circle does indeed accomodate some moderate movements when shooting 6x7cm format (which I believe has a 90mm diagonal? I have no frame of reference for what 5mm of shift equates to.) I like the idea of the 70mm because it would be more useful for me when I eventually get a digital back as my favorite focal lengths are at the medium to moderate wide part of the scale.Ģ: If I were to get a two lens setup for film, I'd still want to buy wisely so I didn't have to re-buy for digital later. Typical.Īnyway, as far as I can remember the following is the general gist of that lost post.ġ: After some thought, I've decided / realized I could live with a one lens setup if I buy into the system to initially use with film only. I just spent 15 mins typing a long list of questions and the computer crashed and lost it all. ![]()
