For my money, I would just shoot with my Arca-Piss or Dorff as if you’re going to make the effort to shoot 810, then you should be able to get something useful from your efforts. The real problem with the Titan is the images are slightly OOF as if the camera is not on a VERY heavy and sturdy tripod, having any kind of wind blowing on that big body will blur the shots at 1/15th. Lest we forget, it is made from plastic and unlike hard woods and metal, plastic deforms fairly easily. From my work with Polaroid in the 80’s, I had to put my A-S on a 30kg Tele-Studex, hang a bag of sand under it, and park my VW in such a way that I could open the back hatch and block any wind, build a sturdy Shoji screen, or use my Foba tube set to build a wind wall. Shooting 810 Pol with a 10R and a 15Y added for exposure correction for daylight vs. studio flash was a nightmare. I spent almost as much time metering and color checking as I did lining up the shots. It was a drag and I’ll bet this camera would be similar if one shot color. They only gave me a case of Pol810 and the boxes had 15 sheets which had to be cool up until half an hour prior to exposure. IT was bizarre to be out in the field shooting 559 to test for the 810 I was about to expose and run through a processor powered by hand. It was fun and interesting, but I’m surprised I still have hair. On Sep 1, 2013, at 5:53 PM, Randy Little wrote:
