Put a Carl Zeiss lense on it!

Mario, keep the 85mm on order - it's almost out of stock everywhere because the demand is so great for it. Once you have it - you most likely will never use the the 50. Get the 17-40 - it is a very fine lens & not a pain in the ass to carry around. I considered the 70-200 but it's too large & not for what I shoot & that's mostly portraits. The 50 is too short. 60 EF-S macro too sharp (returned it)

You should of bought the 350XT body instead of the 20d. Get the 70-200

f4. Keep the 17-40 - I love this lens.

The film was Tri-X. I developed 2 rolls. One in HC-110 (b) for 6 minutes. The second roll in D76 full strength for 7 minutes. As I said, the grain was horrible in the HC-110 as compared to D76. Is this normal?? Can I get a finer grain by changing to a different dilution with HC-110?

D76 at full strength vs HC-110 (dilution B) assuming temperature at

68 degress for both & preferred times used - Which developer will

have the worst grain?? I just used HC-110 (dil b) for a project and

the grain was horrible.

everyone says there wrong!

Ann - what dilution? I think you previously said in other posts 6 minutes when you shot at 200ASA.

I need to process a bunch of Tri-X shot at ASA400. What dilution &

time would give me fantastic negs with the developer at 68 degrees

with agitations 5 secs every 30 seconds? Remember - I shot these at

400ASA - all the stuff I'm reading was shot on this post has been

more around 200ASA.

So Alan - your comfortable with dil (H) at 8 minutes at 68 degrees as a result of your testing?

Still confused - Kodak charts, Covington site, the threads, all different - what is the tried & tested technique here at 68 degrees shot at asa 400 Tri-X?

Will I get nice results with Tri X shot at 400 developed in HC-110

dilution B at 68 degrees for 6 minutes? I'll agitate 10 seconds every

30 seconds. I'm using a condensor enlarger. Please share thoughts - I

have alot of film to develop & it's been awhile.

Film is dying - remember the Super 8, 8 16 movie film cameras? No demand!!! It's all video & digital.

This lense is perfect. Includes the box, case, shade, caps. $650.00

Chrome version #11823

In my opinion - most were made with a 35mm.

Is it true HCB used nothing but a 50mm lens on his Leica M & nothing

else?

Joey - nice response, but how many minutes??

My specific question is - how much development time??

Which HC-110 dilution B,C,D,E would be best to develop Tri X 120 size

film exposed at 400ASA. I used to use D76 1:1 & was happy with the

results. I need to know the dilution ratio & time since I'm changing

to HC-110. These variables are throwing me a curve ball. I'm going to

have the developer temp at 68 degrees. A condensor enlarger will be

used. I'm familiar with the Convington site but need your tried &

tested input. Thanks for all you help.

Ron, I shot the Tri-X at 400 - what changes should I make?

I want to start using HC-110 and achieve the same look as D76 1:1

with my Tri X 120 film. Can anyone give me their proven results with

development times, dilution, & temps. I'm going to print on my

condensor enlarger. Thanks

I recently had to shoot a project with Ilford 3200 B&W film and I

shot it at 3200 ASA. I need to know from someone with experience what

time & temp I should develop in D76 1:1.(have tons of this stuff) I

use a condensor enlarger. I have no margin to experiment! It was 120

size film

According to Mamiya the optical quality of the KL is identical to the 180W-N. I have the Pro S & RZ II & the KL I can use on both bodies with no battery power - that to me is a huge advantage for that reason alone. In fact, I'm gathering lenses of the KL type to use on the RZ II - so you will be fine!!

Make sure the winder slot door is open on the bottom of the the camera body. I don't know if the winder will work on the that body. My winder is a Pro II for my Pro II body.

Will a 40X Lexar Compact Flash Card improve the time speed on image

recording & retrival of images over the standard type of card on a

Canon A80?

Jim, I own almost every high end camera in the world & I'm truly amazed at the Canon A80 masterpiece!! I'm thinking of getting the the Canon D10 - what for?? The A80 is replacing M6 dinasour!!
