Presenting The Cuboid Selectascope
After quite a while working with my Cuboid camera I asked Matt Abelson of Abelson Scopeworks if a turret with 6 scopes would be possible to retrofit to my Cuboid while maintaining the ultra wide 25mm focal length… all I have to say is that it is spot on for my artworks and damn does it look nice!!
With the custom SELECTASCOPE option I have the choice of F196 – F32 with a Zone Plate at F45! The varying degree of sharpness and the option of overlaying different levels of sharpness on the same negative through multiple exposure is a creative A-Bomb…. ART Bomb that is!

Thoughts on Exposure Calculators
Do you trust your light meter?… I don’t! Good exposure is the result of a healthy relationship between camera technology and your visual memory/ brains. In the video below I discuss other options to your in-camera meter or even a hand-held meter as a suggestion for creative growth and better photographic control.

Andys Handy Exposure Calculator by Andrew Lawn
(In the video I call this Handy Andy’s Exposure Calculator and of course it is Andy’s Handy Exposure Calculator… sorry!) Just as a note this is my favorite Exposure Calculator from the list above.
The image to the left is Andy’s Handy Exposure Calculator with my attached Rollei 35 DOF Chart. What more could you want!?
and here is some good information on LV and EV…

One more Exposure Calculator…
Shoot Diana Exposure Calculator
The Shoot Diana Exposure Calculator is made specifically for the Diana+ camera by yours truly… it’s not free like the ones listed above but at only $5 it won’t break the bank either.
Happy shooting… Viva la Revolution- Stephen
Note: What was the first practical photographic light meter? The Weston Photronic Exposure Meter model 617 ca 1932/33.
Part 2 – Is Cross Processing or XPRO Dead?
This is Part 2 to the post I made yesterday…more thoughts. A good sub-title for this would be: Process Does Matter!

The Photographic Purist
I hear this term used alot nowadays… “I’m a purist” or “I never manipulate my images as I want the pure photographic image” – give me a break! This audio blog explores this concept and the damages it is causing to photographers everywhere. Give it a listen. By Stephen Schaub
OCP – Obsessive Compulsive Photographer
Every photographer I know is at least a bit OCD…that is to say we worry and test our materials far more than any other art form- and perhaps even far more than we really need to. This audio blog attempts to provide a bit of breather room and hopefully some ideas on how to control your OCP (obsessive complusive photographic disorder) before it is too late!
The Final Rebuttal
The last (I promise) rebuttal to the ongoing discussion on “does your camera matter”? For a bit of background on this post please click on this LINK to read my first post which was earlier this month.
