<p>Epson Hot Press Natural and never look back.<br>

-O</p>

<p>I just gat a Epson P800 for Christmas an would be interested in other peoples impression of this machine I have had an Epson 3880 for many years and am hoping it will either be comparable or even better, Cheers.</p>

<p>I have been very happy with the 50mm. 1.4 Nikkor G.</p>

<p>I have had a FTN for 50 years and it is as good as the day I bought it. I shoot digital now with a d810 but the FTN will always be with mr just like my F3 HP.</p>

<p>I love HP5. I do a great deal of portrait and figure work and its red sensitivity works beautifully with skin.</p>

<p>I am happy to say that I have had no problems either.</p>

<p>I agree with Shun.</p>

I own a d810 and its auto focus is razor sharp t all distances and in low light. </p>

<p>-O</p>

<p>I also recently upgraded to a d810 and the new lenses I purchased were; 28mm. 1.8G, 50mm 1.4G and the 105 2.8 VR. All three are working beautifully with the 36mpx.</p>

<p>I agree with David Triplett. I have a d810 backed up wth a d7100. The d7100 is a wonderful machine and I plan to use it until it dies on me.<br>

<p>I agree with all of the comments made. One thing I have to add is that looking at the images it is clear that you have particulate material in the solutions at some point in your process. The distilled water suggestion might be the best one..</p>

<p>I agree with Lannie 100%.</p>

 

<p>Another vote for the Nikon d7100. I use it as the backup for my d810 and it is fantastic. For the money you cannot do better.</p>

<p>50mm. 1.4 G. </p>

<p>-Done</p>

Give the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 a serious look. It is a wonderful machine that produces gallery quality pigment prints.</p>

<p>-O</p>

<p>I agree with Rodeo Joe. The 17-55 is a superb lens and gets all of the info needed from the 24 mpx. of my D 7100. The sharpness and color are fantastic. I also have to admit that it is a load to carry around all day but was always worth the effort prior to the arrival of my d810. </p>

<p>-O</p>

<p>The Nikon F3 is the finest SLR I have ever had in my hands and I have had a lot. The HP viewfinder for this camera is the icing on the cake;</p>

<p>-O</p>

<p>I would go with the 85 1.8. I own both lenses and the 85 is clearly better in that area.</p>

<p>Ilford HP-5 was my favorite film for many years. I had no trouble with Alford liquid developer.</p>

<p>Pro.</p>

<p>PS.</p>

<p>Sharpness could be a bit better.</p>

<p>-O</p>

<p>Pro.</p>

<p>-O</p>

<p>I love the 85 for this purpose but my favorite is the 105 2.8 VR but it weighs a ton on the d810.</p>

<p>-O</p>

<p>I would opt for the 35mm. 1.8 in a heartbeat.</p>

<p>-O</p>

<p>So do I.</p>
