So how do you compensate for long exposure times with good light using these cameras? Do you use ND filters of some sort?

I think Mark Johnson uses one of these... Mark??


I see he uses Velvia film - which is probably the most popular film ever made for landscape photography, and for very good reason. I've used it a lot, and it really is fantastic film especially in early morning or late evening late, the saturation, detail and contrast is just incredible.

Even with good light, exposure times are pretty long with LF (unless you're indoors with studio lights and or shooting portraits/shots with small depth of fields). ND filters would only increase the exposure times, so you pretty much just suck it up and wait. \:D Big sturdy tripods are a must for LF, obviously.
