I might take a quick video clip and might dictate the settings, movements, and any other comments rather than write them down in a logbook, especially when I'm rushed due to changing light. So if you would do this for 5x7, check the width against the digital, unless you're shooting portraits. But I can tell at 90mm equivalent if I need something wider and I'll use the 75mm. The digital camera's zoom covers me for my 300mm 150mm and 90mm. I then "mark" the zoom on the digital to the equivalent width angle of each of my LF lenses. I ignore the vertical figuring width is more important usually. I initially compared the LF lenses against the zoom range on the horizontal of the digital camera. The zoom tells me what LF lens I should use. Then I use the zoom to find the framing I want.
So you can look at the scene with a yellow or red for example to get an idea of how it would look with a real BW contrast filter. I switch the LED view to BW if shooting BW film. I set it on 4:3 which is very close to 5:4 LF. I'm using my Olympus E-PL1 micro 4/3 digital camera as a director's viewfinder. With the viewing frame I find that I can compose (or reject) a shot and choose camera position and lens before I start to unpack (or not, saving me time!). Check out this thread: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)Ī director's viewfinder should work well too, but unless you're shooting that aspect ratio, you'll have to compensate a bit mentally.

They incorporate a Wratten #90 black-and-white viewing filter and help to check for tone mergers if you know how to use them. now they're a bit more on the used market. Mostly, however, I use a Zone VI viewing filter. You don't need a string either how many fingers between eye and opening will tell you which lens you need with a bit of experience. I can even fold it in half for storage and unfold it for use. I often use a black 3x5" card with the appropriate-aspect-ratio hole cut in the middle. A viewing frame does not have to be the film size. Many of us use viewing filters or frames of one kind or another.
