Some useful info’ especially the hyperfocal distance , I’ve been using a Canon L 17-40mm for landscape scenes for a while on a 5D Mk3 it gives a great in perspective view, this image of Wain Wath falls in the Yorkshire Dales was taken using a 10 stop filter https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/82d6d771178e775256b5333cfa0659cf56467afde2d782b20f0237f8cf9ad5c8.jpg

Anne, I know the purists will throw things at me for this – but I use a w/angle instead of a perspective control lens, for landscapes – it’s easier to set up, more convenient (because it spares me carrying another lens – always a prob. for landscape work) and can achieve almost the same outcome. OK not quite – but who’s to say what’s the “perfect” spot to put down the ‘pod anyway?

Oh – and also because I’ve never been able to track a decent comparison between the optical qualities of the PC lenses Nikon put out and the w/angle I have for the cam. Which has put a stop to any plans I might have had to buy one – yes I understand the point, but no I’m not buying one without any reassurance as to the qualities of the optics, to take over from a high quality w/angle which achieves pretty much all I need anyway.

In reply to dierk. Anne mentions using a split ND filter for bright skies to keep from blowing out the skies. I used to do this back in the film days when shooting slide film (like Velvia - very high contrast film). Today I shoot RAW and I can pull back the skies in Lightroom and get good results. I wonder, though, if there is an advantage to shooting with an ND grad instead of correcting in post?

🙂 Of course not. 4×5 is a film format. 4″ wide and 5″ tall (or the other way around if you shoot landscape). So to get the 35mm format equivalent in focal length you divide by 3. A 150mm lens on a 4×5 is a “normal” or 50mm lens on a 35mm camera. A 105mm is close to a 35mm lens on a full frame DSLR.

In reply to Tim Lowe. even at the cost of sounding stupid, what is a 4x5 photographer?

I shoot a 16-35 F4 for all my landscape shots. I especially like that you can get sky and foreground in the same shot without doing anything at all but focus.

With my Canon 18-55 mm kit lens reversed I am getting some amazing macro… and get almost same results at very least expenses as of spefic macro lens.but focusing is tricky using this technique.. though very good to enjoy photography.
