Clive:
While it has warmed up here in eastern Massachusetts, we nevertheless
have a forecast of snow tonight and again tomorrow night. Accordingly,
the 11x14 is still in hibernation because of the frostbite that I earned
with it last January.
So, I've done a little bit with the Leica R8 with fisheye and with the
19mm: http://www.hemenway.com/Castle_in_Maine/
and some with the Rollei 6008i: http://www.hemenway.com/Monadnock
I have more, but haven't scanned them yet.
Large Format: I'm looking at a 39 inch lens for the 11x14, and since
the bellows extends to only about 23 inches, am trying to figure out a
way to use it. A long wooden tube comes to mind. Or, a rear extension
twice as long as the current one, and a longer, bigger bellows.
Why oh why couldn't I have been born rich instead of just good looking?
