Pity, I realy like the effect type 55 has when contact printed. I wanted to try some kallitypes which apparently don't need very dense negs? I'll have to wait 'til someone I know goes to the US then.

Thanx!

Hi everyone

 

I recently bought a Linhof Technica III which came with a polaroid

545 land back. I have tried to get hold of some type 55 for

alternative processes but it seems that the stuff is either extremely

expensive ( about twice the price of that in the US! ) or not

available at all. It also isn't worth shipping it in from Adorama.

Does anybody know of any local suppliers in South Africa?

 

Regards

I when I bought my Linhof Tech III, in the box of goodies was this

item. It doesn't seem to be for this camera. Does anybody have any

idea what it is? ( Note the Linhof badge on the side )

I was recently given a mint Companon-s 5.6/100 and was wondering if

anyone has any experience with this lens and what format it is

suitable for( 35mm, MF, 4x5, etc )

 

Regards

I recently purchased a Linhof Technika III without a manual and as i

am rather new to LF i need help. Does anybody know of any sites that

have free manuals. (I'm rather broke after the purchase) :-)

 

Regards

Thank you everyone! I just got the shots back and they look great. I got them developed normally as recommended. Thanks again

I recently shot two rolls of Portra 400vs of some friends and their

baby but accidentally forgot to change the iso on the camera. I have

heard that an over exposed neg can be saved at the lab by asking for

it to be procededed differently or it can be adjusted at the

printing stage. What will the effect be on the pictures? What could

I do to save the shots?

 

Many thanks

I have a Bronica AEII prism that doesn't seem to be metering

properly. I have swiched it onto 'A' and when i push the shutter

release in a little it displayes '4'. When i adjust the aperture or

shutter speed, the reading remains at 4. The battery is new btw.

Why doesn't it meter?

I was asked to take some shots along with another photographer for a

designer ( of mainly evening gowns )next week. We'll be shooting out

in the bush in the afternoon and I will be using a Bronica ETRS. I

don't have very much experience with flash and need help with toning

down the background. I can't get hold of any major flash equipment

but can borrow a dedicated flash unit and possibly a soft box.

 

How would I go about toning the backgroung down?

Thanx everyone. Does anybody have any other examples of this kind of style?

I love how the blacks and whites of this photo show no detail and am

wondering if anyone knows how this was achieved.

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

I have been an international non-subscriber ( South Africa ) to PN

for a long time now and am becoming desperate for some of the

features of a subscriber. I am a student and have found that this

site has improved my photography greatly! (thanx!!!)

 

Is there any way to pay for a subscription from South Africa?

Are cokin filters cheaper in France than in the US? ( as they are

made there ) If so, by how much? Thanx!

I am prety ignotant about black and white film, so I accept if this

is a stupid question. :-)

What is the difference between using real b&w film ,like Ilford ,and

just converting cheaper colour negatives to b&w in photoshop?

Thanx

I agree with Photo Design. I have won awards at regional salons for photos that viewers here rated poorly. LIKEWISE I have had photos turned down and harshly criticised at the same salons which were some of my highest rated here. So don't be too hurt at what others think. Just take photos and share. If one person likes the shot, Well done. You've achieved your goal!

Great. None of my film is faster than 800, however, I'll still stick to the manual search to be extra safe! Thanx muchly ;-)

How slow is 'slow' (to be very safe)?

Should I remove all my film (40 rolls) from their plastic canisters

and store them in transparent Zip-Lock bags for hand searching. I'm

just wondering as I've heard that they will not be hand searched

unless they are removed.

Thanx!

Thanx for all the help! This is a very useful tool!

I heard once of perspective correction done in photoshop. Aparrently

this gives a almost identical effect as a T/S Lens. Does anyone know

how to do this? Thanx!

Thanx! Looks like my K1000 has a new friend!

I have been meaning to buy a second body for ages and recently came

across an old Ricoh XR-7. I thought it could fit nicely with my

other K-Mount lenses. If anybody has used/owns one please could give

me your opinion on it. ( It is priced at $70 and looks pretty well

looked after )
