When I've had to, it's been f/64 and use the swings and tilts.
I've also used an 8x10 Calumet for some trade-show Translites for

large sheet film.


Yeah... I had a Press Graffix 4x5 with a film-pack back.

It could do some sweet portrait work, though!

You have more patience than I do. I used my Speed Graphic for some
in-the-field shots for American Machinist, but I shot covers with a
Calumet 4x5 monorail. They were mostly tricky machine shots -- often
multiple exposures -- which the shutters excelled at. And I did a lot
of tabletop work for McGraw-Hill book company, freelance, before the
M-H publications company hired me.

But silver-masking actually paid better. It was a pretty obscure
darkroom skill, and I had work coming out my ears. Again, that was
when I was first freelancing.

When I ended that period, my wife says my eyes had shrunk to little
dots from spending full days in the darkroom. d8-)
