Chris I maximun 2. Is a good tip to set 2 cameras and run from east to west.
I ussuay set for my main shot and risk to take a second one.
I like the idea of the beach chairs that you use. Kind of keeping it relax.

Shot this yesterday, very nice kitchen.  It was shaped liked a triangle, so compositionally it was a little ... different.  But I think shot turned out nice.

That is nice Joe.  Just a little kick from the left door, nice light in the right hallway, practicals spot on. Very clean

Ditto, feels like your lighting is becoming more sophisticated, nuanced.

From a project shot in February. Before and After...a good example of why I light things! On the face of it, dynamic range was not going to be a huge problem (the "before" has all the sliders 'zeroed'), so a little judicious massaging was going to make a nice histogram. But YUCK!

I did a few things, mostly trying to make all the light appear motivated by the bedside lamp.

Thanks Craig and Chris; I appreciate the compliments. 

I have been changing my lighting up over the past 9 months or year.  I use to be so concerned with creating shadows and altering how the space looked.  Now, I realize that that was a silly thing to be so concerned with, and it is such a relief.

Chris, now that you are no longer using the R system, what are you doing with your lenses?

Initially I was using them on the Universalis (with the R to M board).  I've since replaced them with Hasselblad glass (no more LCCs!).  Sold the whole R kit with my IQ260.  I've kept my Rodie 90 & 135 which were never mounted for the R anyway.

Chris, I have a quick question about your use of Canon/Contax TSE and the Hasselblad lenses.  Are you using these because of the larger image circle allows greater movements?  Do you ever shift a TSE and use the movements on your Arca?  Thanks.

Yes!  It's all about image circle.  I'm continually impressed with the quality of the Contax 35mm PC.  I leave the lenses centered and only use the movements of the view camera.  They provide plenty of movement beyond the usable image circle.

Are the Hasselblad lenses sharper than rodenstocks of the same focal length? Or do they provide greater movements?  Thanks.

While sharpness seemed very similar, the Hasselblads provided greater movement.  What's weird about the Sony setup is that, once you already have large image circles, then you eventually start getting cutoff from the camera body cavity.  The 'Blad glass has a further focus throw, so lesser incident angle and the cutoff happens more slowly.

What about rectilinear distortion, which tends to be more pronounced with retrofocus wideangles? Yes, you can correct for a lot of it in Photoshop, but if it is inconsistently wavy, it gets more complicated. Also, as I understand it, rectilinear distortion varies with distance.

You mentioned that you stopped doing LCCs.  While you wouldn't need that for chromatic aberration on those lenses wouldn't you need it to correct for fall off from movements?  Thanks.

Well, I've shot a half dozen architectural projects with the setup recently and I haven't seen any distortion issues.  As for fall-off, remember, these lenses are designed to evenly illuminate a 6x6cm piece of film, so yeah that hasn't really been a problem either.  They tend to fall off dramatically at the limits of the image circle.  I'm only interested in real world results and haven't looked at any of the graphs, but after extensive use on long shoots, I'm pretty damn pleased with this rig.

About the only thing I'm questioning at this point is whether I want to go back to my M-Line 2... smoother and more robust than the Universalis, but heavier.

Hi Slobodan, hope all is well. 

Chris, thank you for your answers, it's been helpful.  I have a full set Contax 645 lenses and I'm remotely thinking about contacting SK Grimes to see if they could create an adapter for me.

Here are a few that I shot last week of my client's personal kitchen.  She is submitting it for a competition in a couple of weeks and wanted to have it shot.  

Overall, I think they came out nice, and I am surprised by the first image.  When shooting that, the sun keep on going in and out, really screwing me up.  I did not have a good feeling about that image when I left, but it is not so bad.  

Now off to a wedding.   ;D

Well at least there is a house in the background to satisfy the architecture "requirement"  :P
