Is there a Sisterhood?

Since Aaron so generously called the 645 a ladies' camera, I was wondering how
many of us would qualify for a Sisterhood? :-)

Jostein. You owe me a new keyboard. I've got coffee all over it because of
your post. Well said Jostein. 

Count me out of both the Brotherhood and the Sisterhood. Most likely I will
never aspire as a member of any of those hoods. I'm a happy member of the
"Childhood" with my APS sized gear. On second thought: The Childhood must be
for the FF users. APS is more "Infanthood". Making P&S shooters Foetushoods.

Never the less, we are all members of the Lenshood.

Thanks for bringing the brotherhood into perspective ;-)

I had the Barbie Cam, but I think we all realized it was a gag.

-Brother Aaron

p.s. for the uninitiated, the Legendary Barbie Cam was a pink and silver 
digital camera with a large flower embossed around the lens. It was my first 
digital camera, circa 2000, and was my only digital camera until I got a 
teeny-tiny Leica/Panasonic in late 2004 in preparation for my son's birth.  The 
Barbie Cam moved to Japan with a friend of mine and recently ceased functioning.

A lot of the serious b&w portraits I've seen in the past few years

There is a lot of money to be made in this arena.  Even with 8x10.

"Real Photographers*" come in both sexes. It is superior knowledge and 
ability that separates us from the masses, not gender stereotypes. Also 
we work in and record the flow of humanity rather than take pretty 
pictures. And, Aaron, Real Photographers always hand-hold their 4x5.



* Real Photographers use the term "Speed Graphic" generically for all 
sheet film press cameras. We are not brand chauvinists like those who 
use whimpy cameras (Whimp Photographers?).

Hmmm, I don't recall Aaron saying that.  Maybe because back then I only 
had the one 645 ;-P


But if this is to be the case, then I must stand in the Sisterhood crowd.

Good thing Marnie's on "vacation" or you'd be labeled a sexist pig ...
wouldn't that be a drag ;-))



LOL.

Before I know it, I'll have to buy a tripod with high heels for it...

Would this replace the spikes?  :-)

I can just picture all the variations on GFMtn - good thing Frank would 
not be involved...


Maybe I can take the Brother/Sister pair out for a shoot tomorrow,

Jostein. You owe me a new keyboard. I've got coffee all over it 
because of

your post. Well said Jostein.


Pleasure...:-)

Btw, I noticed this post turned up in the archive soon after it was

Handheld 4x5 ( was Re: Is there a Sisterhood?)

2006-03-02 Thread Collin R Brendemuehl

Anyone who has ever used a Graphic, Horseman, or LInhof knows how.
Just add a flash for indoor use.  And look at the Hindenberg fire pics.
Lots of both 135 and 4x5.  Use a 120mm to 135mm lens, TMax or TriiX 400 film,
and shoot 1/400 @ f16 on sunny days or 1/250 @ f8 on dimmer days.
It's not that hard.  Quality lens choices are easy.  120 Angulon, 125 Fujinon,
127 Ektar, 135 Fujinon, 135 Rodenstock Ysarex.  Or use the 127 or 135
Wollensak if you must.

Ooops, I went wrong, it's only 6x7, but it can shift.

Sorry.
