<p>Hi Stuart. I only wet print, no scanning. I know what you mean about grain-peeping, but<br> I can honestly state this is not the case here....
<p>Thanks Stuart. I'm not a Rodinal user, I've standardized on Delta100/DDX for my 4x5.<br> The 6x7 tests were using the same combination. DDX...
<p>Thanks Mike.<br> The original question was not how to get finer grain, rather to discern whether<br> better optics could enhance the apparent...
<p>QG. Interesting thought. The Sekor-C shots, though perfectly in focus, were certainly<br> less sharp. Perhaps another meaningful test would...
<p>Lynn, thank you. I have found the Delta100 in DDX combo extremely satisfactory on 4x5.<br> There are rare cases when I have used Perceptol for...
<p>Gary, the KL glass is fine indeed. The RB67 just doesn't have the movements I prefer<br> for my landscape work. Thank you for your...
<p>Thank you Thomas. I agree that negative grain is purely a function of the emulsion<br> and how it is exposed and developed.</p> <p>The point...
<p>I will try my best to be specific, since this question could easily dive into a broader topic.</p> <p>Here is some useful context, followed by...
<p>Jeff - It certainly is an interesting effect. Gives the whites a texture that is very appealing.<br> The effect on skin rendering, however, is...
<p>We've a cold spell where I live. Just measured the cold tap and it was like 45 degrees. The lead<br> is close to the main coming in from the...
<p>Thank you Lex. <br> It must have been the wash cycle. I have always washed using much cooler water, but it sounds<br> like I was just getting...
<p>Tri-X 320 - 6x7 frames on a fresh 220 roll.<br /> <br /> I shot this film for the first time over the weekend. I am getting<br /> some very...
<p>I need to identify the model Calumet 45 that I bought.<br> I'm selling it and want to give an accurate description to<br> potential buyers....
<p>Thanks Brian. I appreciate your effort. Best Regards.</p>
<p>I have 75 holders, so 150 negatives. I can deal with a 5% to 10% reduction since this is<br> my first 4x5 adventure -- ie., latency will...
<p>I've moved to 4x5. Shooting Delta 100. Kodak, for instance, recommends<br> development within 72 hours - or storing in an airtight, cool...
<p>Addendum: I suppose I could always go the flourescent tube route. Easy to rig that up.<br> Any thoughts on the tube "wattage" or...
<p>I have developed my own BW negatives for 20 years.<br> I am now delving into the carcinogenic world of BW reversal processing.<br> As with any...
<p>Hi Matthew. That's the perfect answer I was looking for, regarding the span.<br> Is your Lee soft that you are speaking of a .6 or .9 (2 stops...
<p>My medium is 35mm slide film.<br> I currently use the Cokin A, 2 stop GND, which has a fairly hard transition.<br> I want a softer transition....
