Keith, I believe most couples we shoot dont specifically ask for film capture or specifically request that we shoot the same cameras that the majority of photographers shoot. Furthermore, they also realize the deliverables are similar to an all-digital shoot in that we deliver full resolution and web-sized JPEGs plus full resolution TIFFs from drum scans of larger film formats. So in the end they have digital files throughout from which they can make prints. However, in 2010 I did have some comments from a bride specifically about the film scans they found on their disc. PS. I just need to tell you that Dong forwarded us a few of your shots and they were BEYOND PHENOMENAL! The film looked truly equisite! The shots were of the guys having lunch and it looked like a Vanity Fair editorial! So amazing! You are a rare talent! I must say, we were both quite partial to the film... Something about the graininess that just can't be recreated digitally! Other positive comments not specifically related to the film scans edited out for brevity. The shots of the boys having lunch were shot with the Leica M7, 35mm F/2 Zeiss Biogon, and Ilford Delta 400 pushed to ISO 1600 in Kodak XTOL. 2. Ive been using the Akai APC40 for about five months now. 3. I dont have personal experience with the Jazzmutant Lemur but I assume that if it outputs standard MIDI commands then it should work with Knobroom. Give it a try. Let me know. =) Thank you for your questions.

three things: 1. how did the couple feel about the film images considering everyone uses digital these days. 2. how long have you been using hardware controllers for adjustments? 3. does it work with the jazzmutant lemur? i might finally have an excuse to get one of those things...

As of Nov-08-11, Chrome still does not support color-managed with pictures embedded with Adobe profile. I compared both my pictures in Firefox and Chrome version 15.0.874.106 m, the Firefox displays my pictures exactly same as I see in CS5. Don't know if there is another hidden option somewhere that I can turn on. I like Chrome because it is faster than Firefox, but speed alone is not good enough if I can't have the color-managed feature working.

Totally feel your pain on the "no moving" thing although i havent had to go slower than 1/2 second yet... its definitely been an experience to go from high speed digital to nearly painfully slow lf. Now if only i had more film holders... Dig the portra shots, nice work with the light.

The more i thought about it the more i realized that a 3 lens kit would do everything i would ever want with LF. Id pick up the 75, 180 and 210 (or 240) lenses... if they werent DB shutters. =P

Hey, Keith. =) The lenses can be unscrewed from the DB mount/boards and remounted into a compatibly-sized Copal shutter. That said, while the 180mm and longer lenses should transfer fairly easily, the 75mm may be better mounted by an experienced technician due to the greater sensitivity of cell spacing. Some wide-angle lenses have shims that help counter differences in manufacture of lenses and possibly shutters to ensure proper cell spacing and I can't guarantee that this won't be the case with the 75mm. And yes, that was a great deal on that Fujinon. I didn't realize you were looking for a such a lens. I thought you were most interested in environmental portrait work. =)

I know this sounds nutso, but can the DB mount lenses be unscrewed and mounted into regular copal shutters?... I really missed out on that Fujinon...

I really like these Klyment! I think you're too hard on yourself, though I respect the role that disappointment plays in personal and artistic growth.
