mjferron Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 <p>They say for web use you don't need a ton of resolution. Most any camera will do. Maybe so but damn even a little jpeg from that beast looks superior to most anything else I see. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred_haeseker Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 <p>Wonderful. I'm still learning how to use my Ansco 8x10 but I've already seen that there's nothing like an 8x10 contact print.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 ike Gene said! That first one is super. I always note that the LF makes a difference. A big difference. So size does matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_lockerbie Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 <p>Great work John, the tonality from these large negs has to be seen to believed. It also takes a fair bit of dedication to haul one around!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allancobb Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 <p>Superb! I myself recently acquired an 8x10, a Burke & James Grover monorail. These are further inspiration to get going with it! May I ask how these were scanned for posting here (or otherwise)? Cheers, Allan</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_golden2 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 <p>hi allen, i scanned these on my epson v700, i post here and my flickr account. what lens do you have? i have a couple lenses for 8x10, my favorite lens is my 19inch red dot artar. it doesnt have a shutter though. i use a salad dressing jar lid, which is fine because most of my exposures with it are long. amazing how much that lens goes for in a shutter. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allancobb Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 <p>Hi John, thanks for the info! Did you scan the negative directly or the print? So far I have one lens that came with the camera, a Burke & James Carl Meyer Anastigmat 305mm f/4.5. Probably not a standout lens, but hopefully good enough to do the job at least for a little while! I've used it once, but I plan to give it a workout over the next few months, one project being interiors of the National Cathedral in DC.

john_golden2 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 <p>hi allen i did scan the negative directly, cool thing about 8x10 is just about any lens will work great for contact prints, i have a very old wollensak wide angle that i use sometimes and you can hardly tell the difference between it and the coated SA that i use, Rob thanks so much for the kind words. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
