<p>John, those are all lovely. The tonalities are so smooth. I think the photos made with the 90mm are really exceptional. Thanks for sharing.</p>

<p>John, your stuff is pure magic.</p>

[gabor_szabo3]

<p>Ditto Rob's comment above.... absolutely mystical .<br>

I especially like the glow of the bridge in No. 3. </p>

<p>Details of emulsion and processing/scanning information, please ?</p>

[john_golden2]

<p>most of the film used was 27 year old plus x, all were tray processed in d76 and scanned using an epson v700 thanks for the nice comments</p>

<p>John, they are all lovely. The negatives could do with a little bit of dust removal though.</p>

<p>You've hit me in the heart. I iwsh I had enough time,money,equipment etc etc for this format. Lovely work.</p>

[david_l3]

<p>John, downright awesome. You are a virtuoso with the 90mm. </p>

[ann_overland]

<p>So, when are we going to get the affordable D1000 with a 4X5 digital sensor? Shall I start the rant?</p>

<p>You must not upload photos like that, John. I might throw in the towel. Or go buy another camera.</p>

<p>Hi John, pure magic with you 5x4, hard to beat those big negs! I need a location like that to try my 65, just a beautiful river. I have tried the 65 on my Ebony but haven't shot any images with it yet, but OMG it is wide!<br>

Actually my favourite shot of these is the trees, I love the fine tracery of the branches, nicely done. I have a 90mm SA, the F8 version and it surely is a great lens. The shots with the Heliar are also beautiful, that lens has a great signature, especially at wider apertures. I have the 150mm Apo-Lanthar which is basically the same lens, and an old un-coated 150mm Heliar that I use from time to time. Too much gear...too little time!</p>

<p>Hey Tony, yes that 65 is super super wide, it was a bit too wide for me, that was the reason i sold it, i knew i would probably use it only once in a great while, its a great lens though, very sharp. my 90 is a caltar wII f8 which they say is the same as the super angulon, mine is muticoated though, my old SA was single coated but still a great lens. when you get a chance to shoot with the 65 post the images, looking forward to seeing what you do with it. my next shoot, im going to put my 90 on my 5x7, will be pretty close to the view of the 65 on the 4x5. </p>

<p>John - awesome images. There is so much detail, and compositions are great. This is definitely gallery or hang-on-the-wall at home material.</p>

<p>I never handled LF, but I'm just curious about how you do the scans. Are you scanning prints or negatives? Your Epson is a flatbed scanner with a lamp and diffuser glass in the lid, right? Do you just lay the negatives right on the scanner glass?</p>
