Hello! I really liked your video! Especially about the EVF-TL1 angle adapter! That's why, as an old Nikon fan (since 1988), I would now like to get into the GFX system. First of all, I would like to buy a Fuji GFX 50 S at auction and the angle adapter and as a lens the Fujifilm GF 45-100mm 1:4 R LM OIS WR. That's what I'm trying to start with.😃 I have the Fujifilm GF 100-200mm f/5.6 R LM OIS and the Fujifilm GF 20-35mm f/4 R WR in the back of your mind! 🤔Thank you for your video and all the best....Matthias👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

I trust my palette is still in it's place, that it still gives you the pleasure you once stated. There are 2. But I've roughly decided (thought process only) that I should have one too. Be well Mr. Picker. Thank you.

Clear and well sequenced ❤

A bit late to the party on this one, but regarding magazine content, etc, the rise of social media and the displacement of the computer by phones and tablets is another reason to shoot vertical. Witness the rise of RUclips Shorts and TikTok.

Beautiful presentation sir! Are you still using this setup by any chance or were they becoming too bulky and heavy for traveling?

I was looking for a quick explanation on how to best create a multi row panorama. Honestly.... this one was waaaay too long 😉

I see that this is 5 years old. I now subscribe to your Paper Arts blog. I've wanted a GFX or other MF system for some time now but in the last two years I've started doing more and more architectural work for clients. I have been using my Canon R5 and Canon's 24mm T/S lens. It's a great combo and I've been happy with it. But I also know MF files would give me something more. Still it's hard to part with the $ when clients have been happy. This week I got serious about a GFX and had to decide which body. The 100's are so amazing but so expensive. After some research and some soul searching on what would give me what I want and what I really didn't need I decided this original 50s body was it. And it just happened I got an email from a very reputable dealer I've worked with over the years had one used body for sale for $1400 bucks. Of course accessories I want and need doubled that but I still can't wait for it to arrive. I have several architectural shoots coming up as well as a six-day ad campaign shoot for a non-profit. I truly enjoyed what you had to say about the camera. All the things I desired when I first wanted one several years ago are still there.

Thank you Lester for your details explaining. It’s a very informative video. I hope you’re well and still making beautiful photographs!!!

Thanks for the most useful videos. You showed those 2 large prints that were open mounted. Do you by any chance have closer images that show how flush you got it to the frame edge please? Did you do any shadow board type mounting with this gatorboard? Thanks in advance

Being new to computers and RUclips I am not sure how to ask and get answers to questions, so here goes anyway. What dilution do you use of the Glamour 2 Varnish when using it as an adhesive? I have diluted in 50:50 with water and this seems to thin, it softens the paper too much. Maybe my paper is just too porous and too thin.

That was an amazing lesson. I made my first attempt at a pano today, and after seeing how Photoshop struggled with it, I clearly didn't know the information in this video. Many thanks Lester!

Hi Lester, first I like to thank you for this wonderful instructional video you made sharing your knowledge with us. I am new to the Gator Board. To be honest, I just learned the term “Gator Board”. However, I have been painting for some time now mostly oil on stretched canvas. Just a few days ago, I finished an oil painting on Arches Oil Paper. And I am thinking of framing it with glass. The Arches Oil Papers are similar in Texture to Watercolor papers. My question is can I use the Glamour 2 to adhere the Oil Painting (which is on Paper) to a Gator Board?

18:35 BANGGO! The secret trick that’s so easy. Thanks!

I just bought a mint gfx 50s with only 3,700 shutter count yesterday. 😅😅😅

In the video you say dilute the glamour 2 but in the description you say use full strength. So....use full strength and don't dilute? It looks like it is intended to be used as a preservative coating. Do you paint this over the print? I'm particularly interested in preventing UV fade on colorful prints. But I see that the Moab Desert Varnish does this too. Why this and not the Glanour? If Moab is for matte prints, how does one UV protect glossy prints?

Hi Lester, thanks for this great video. I am trying out your method using glamour glow to mount prints to Gatorboard. In the Video you mention that you dilute the glamour glow. What is the dilution that you use? Thanks.

Clear, well organized and entertaining. Not an easy task with a subject as clear as a politician trying to explain, well, anything. Cheers …

Thank you

I find the first two books you mentioned surprisingly priced in a good way. The third by Nick Brant is a little out of my income bracket at this time. A beautiful book That would be a joy to own!

Thank you for the vid. Being water based, I’m guessing you delete the Glamor 2 with water?

Nice

I have a frame shop that has done a great job of dry-mounting my photo-art on foam board, but they do not offer gator board. Could they use their hot press same as they do with foam board, or is there a different temperature that they would need to adjust to? Thanks very much!

Lester, this is the first of your videos that I’ve seen, and it was really great. Thank you! I have had some of my photo enlargements done on foam board, but you’re right, they have a tendency to warp, even in our very dry Rocky Mtn climate. I just returned from South and East Africa with a ton of photos to process, print, and dry-mount. Can you give me your sources of supply for the gator board, the adhesive tissue, and the ruler that you showed? Also, when using the tissue, do you cut it to the same exact dimensions of the print? I will be doing mostly 12x18, 20x30, 24x36, and square format up to 30x30. Would you recommend that I invest in a press? I’m an experienced woodworker, so none of what you talked about causing me any concern except using the adhesive tissue. Thanks again!

i swear video makers are getting paid by word count.....

Fantastic video... thank you!

Hi Lester, your video was wonderful. I found the explanations easy to understand and will certainly help me a lot in this new phase of producing 360 panoramas. What I found coolest was the fact that I knew that you prefer to use telephoto lenses, I thought wide-angle ones would be better. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Can you tell me why it's easier to set up in landscape mode than portrait mode? I'm asking bc I need to set it up in portrait...

I bought an adapter and my canon TSE 90mm works very nicely with this camera and with plenty of room for all movements. I tend more to use one of my 4x5s with a graflock/universal back and an adapter plate.

Dude!!!! So helpful ❤

Very much informative. can you please tell what ball head and nodal rails your are using? Look like they very easy to operate and steady too

If I print on 12×36 fine art paper, do I need to heat seal to backboard?

Wonderful tutorial, live view tip makes it so much easier.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to explain in detail and for the tremendous effort you put into the shooting.

Hi please can you tell where to get it and the cost.(In US and in UK)

10:13 took him long enough, geez! come on, camera guy!

Hi Lester, I had to sign in youTube to give you a thumbs up and to thank you for this excellent tutorial.

Very well explained👍🏻

What a beautiful shot

Hello from California!

Excellent tutorial! Thank you.

Excellent video, thanks

Can you calibrate an non pro printer, like a printer you use at home?

ONE MORE "phony" pano-demo. Why "phony"? Because I just don't get it why experienced people.. fail to teach why, what and best how the setup should be leveled, - what is means and what not. Then, a BASIC knowledge (or consequence of that knowledge) ensues that the panning part of the equippement has to be above the leveling. But leveling a tripod is ..plain stupid, if we consider in a correct manner, that tools are here to make life easier. Here, his leveling can be made with the monoball, providing the pano is on top. He would simply have to mount the monoball upside up (or buy and add an additional pano above the monobal. Why ? Because no matter how much pain you put to level the trypod, if your monobal is not totally(!)strait, then you will have the stepped effect you want to avoid (never mentioned), instead of "one band" -alignement of the images (stepped= narrowing the exploitable panorama).

To put this ballhead on its head would make sens so to have the rotating plate on top. Beats me why on earth he does not point that out, instead of saying that "of course; the tripod first has to be perfectly leveled". He who took many years to think about, does not teach this...

Hi Lester, I have enjoyed your video's. Thanks for the information you have given. Any more tips and advice for printing and framing would be welcomed.

Thank you for posting this video.

Excellent video!

That’s brilliant. Thank you. Quick question, if I may: what computer do you use to manage a bunch of high MP files, when sticking your pano together? Assuming you’re happy with its speed and handling.

My comment; bloody excellent tutorial. Thank you very much!

Thanks Lester
