Look at the website again, for $109 you get a Fixed Focus camera, the focusable models are more expensive

The photographer is turning a focusing ring at 1'27".

Read the info on the website.
"We designed an efficient and steady plastic mechanism to get the subject focused from 70cm* to infinity using an ergonomic ring.
Focusing can be done by using a traditional glass ground or using a laser rangefinder (to get subject distance)."


"The focus mechanism is available from 65mm to 150mm lenses."


Using shorter lenses however, you're SOL:
"For 45, 47, 55, 58mm we can provide only the fixed focus version"

I agree with you though- I'd find a good, used, real 4 x 5.
KEH is a good place to start looking.

watch this one, by the time you purchase film holders lens etc for the one you are looking at you will be above the starting bid on this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sinar-f-4x5-camera-with-Schneinder-5-6-210-lens-and-extension-tube/253234503129?_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D48741%26meid%3Da0728e6ca185470da123aa42435f4235%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D172952743998&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982

the $109 camera is fixed focus. of course no lens which is the most expensive part of a basic 4x5. why not find an old Calumet 400, 402 etc with lens on Ebay etc. and be able to have movements and focusing abilities? the cost for those is not very high. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Calumet-4x5-CC-400-Monorail-View-Camera-CC400-599/202085244364?epid=141747495&hash=item2f0d381dcc:g:4K8AAOSw9hdZ58pT

I love how people answer this (and many) questions without asking questions, everyone assumes what and how they shoot is the same as everyone else? It's different for everyone and only your situation can dictate what is correct.

Did you create this ad? How are you so certain that this could only be computer generated? I recently read an article where a photographer was invited with other photographers to shoot a new model of car for an auto manufacture. He showed up with his Olympus E-M1 mrII while all the others had their Canons and Nikons. He showed how he did the shots and did an overhead shot on the streets where they were at night. He indicated because how he shot it, it could not have been done with a larger camera since it was hard enough getting the shot even with his smaller Olympus. That photograph was used for the lead ad for the auto manufacture. Since that article was earlier this year, and the E-M1 mrII has only been out since late last year, does that mean that all car advertising photography has ceased in the last half year? Yes, there are lots of ads that are just computer generated and have never seen a camera. But there are still companies out there that still want an actual photographer to help generate their ad.

Since this is mainly a photography forum, we should treat it like a photo shoot. The a best detailed answer was given by DJO while a few of us gave shorter versions. Although this particular image might have been computer generated, I for one think that it was shot with an actual camera for the same reason that DJO pointed out: "part of the image has become randomly uniform". Although very large computers with very expensive software can emulate that now, this does not appear to be computer generated.

No I've just been in the industry for almost 40 years and know how things are done. if you bothered to read my full post you would have seen that I also replied if you wanted to replicate this photographically several gave good starting points. Read this. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-manufacturers-replacing-photography-full-cgi-sell-arteconi here is a quote "Marketing images and online configurators for the automotive industry are completely computer generated."

I'm constantly baffled by posters on this site who answer questions either without knowing what they are talking about or who's answer does not answer the posters original question. This is not a photo, it is a computer graphic. end of story. Now if you want to know how you could possibly duplicate this image photographically there are many answers here that will point you in the right direction.

depends on what "cheap" is. I have MacBeth 24 panel color checkers, and the Color checker passport. I recommend the color checker passport and here's why, you can get a free download for a PS, and lightroom add in that will use all the color panels to make a profile to make ALL colors as accurate as possible. also there are warming and cooling chips you can click on for white balance for warmer or cooler overall white balance as you like, plus it's small. So yes it acts as a white balance card but it's also much more. I believe it runs about $100 now

Lots and lots of arrogance in this list there is.



I was gonna say, Top of my list would be, don't take advice from someone who spends more time writing/lecturing/doing seminars than actually photographing. Also, don't let a list dictate what pleases you or your client.

well here how I see it. I would RATHER purchase a refurb than a new one. every single camera that comes off the line does not go through full testing and bad parts/electronics do happen. at least a refurb was checked and calibrated by a human to bring it within specs. I see no higher likelihood of a refurb failing, in fact less after a repair. Unless the original problem was not diagnosed correctly.
