Here’s the new little camera from ARRI that shoots big pictures. It’s ARRI’s latest addition to their large-format camera system. This is what many cinematographers were asking for: Large Format, lighter, smaller, modular. ARRI ALEXA Mini LF is quintessentially an ALEXA LF stuffed into the body of a Super35 ALEXA Mini. It uses the same large format CMOS sensor (36.70 x 25.54 mm). To picture the engineering involved, imagine unloading the entire contents of your 22-foot long camera truck and squeezing almost everything inside a BMW X3. ALEXA Mini LF’s carbon fiber body plus LPL lens mount weighs a mere 2.6 Kg. How convenient—that’s the same size and weight (about 5.7 lb) as the ubiquitous Maß (1-liter beer mug) at Oktoberfest.

For the past year or so, my main camera for landscape photography hasn't been one of the newest high-resolution mirrorless cameras that I spend so much time writing about. Nor has it been an ol’ reliable DSLR. Instead, I’ve been using large format film, especially a 4x5 camera.

The desire to jump into medium format photography is usually accompanied by visions of Hasselblads, Rolleiflexes, and the Contax 645.

But these are seriously expensive machines and are […]

CHOOSE BETWEEN A BRAND NEW COPY OR ONE WITH A SLIGHT BUMP Transparencies: Small Camera Works 1971-1979 by Stephen Shore. First edition first impression large format hardback in new condition. Signed by Stephen Shore to sticker on the back of back cover. No markings. This is a new book. Please see pictures. PayPal accepted, any questions please get in touch. About Transparencies: Small Camera Works 1971-1979 Transparencies: Small Camera Works offers an alternative account of one of the most fabled episodes in photographic history: Stephen Shore’s luminous, Uncommon Places. Alongside his large-format camera, he also brought a 35mm Leica with him on his journey across the USA. The images made with it, on colour slide film, are intimate, spontaneous and personal. However, they still retain Shore’s studied formal sensitivity. In these entirely unseen photographs, a parallel iteration of an iconic vision emerges. Instead of feeling like a B-Side this book stands alone as a great body of work. The imagery is familiar: highways and homes, phone boxes, fast food and sun-strewn parking lots. But the alternative format unmistakably re-envisions these subjects through distinct experiments with the medium. This new book uncovers both a detail-oriented survey of America in the 1970s. As well as a rigorous, imaginative exercise in form by an undisputed modern master. Related Links Books by Stephen Shore. Books by MACK books.
