My shutter works well at all speed. Could it be the lense that blocks the infrared light? its a Nikkor AF 28mm f:2.8

yes, that was the same filter and camera... I'll check carefully my shutter and also try a dev. time longer, like 15 min... Who knows... I'll give you feedback on this tonight.. Thanks!

And this last one to show you the strange things on the neg... is this x-ray...

here's an exemple brought to the maximum best result...

here is an exemple straight out from the scan 'raw hdr' no adjustment.

I went to Costa Rica w/ my Speed Graphic and passed thru the x-ray (carry-on

bag) about 4-5 times... I processed myself these sheet films that was slide but

has been cross processed... They are foggy ans the base is dense. The result

when scanned w/ my Perfection 4990 photo when using 48 bit HDR color in

Silverfast se are really really pale and greenish... look at this exemple (I

played w/ the levels to bring it to an image starting point) Look under the

'tent' and at the upper left corner... there's few strange stains... Thanks!

I bought films and Developer in an Agfa store in Costa Rica last Month... They were not expired. I don't think Agfa is back...

I followed the advices in the old threads about infrared and my results are,

nothing. I did infrared in the past with the same equipement, as you can see below:

But today, few years after, I'm not able to pull something out of my negs... I

tried two different processing technic with two strip test of the same neg.

 

1st: Kodak HIE ei 25 hoya r72 in full pm sun (3pm) in Canada Quebec dev. hc110

dil.B 31 Deg. Cel. 6 min in stainless tank (1 reel) and I only got the numbers

on the edges of the film... Like if no light reached the film... My camera

settings were 1/60 f:11. What happwened.

 

2nd: same film but in coffeenol. 24oz water+1tbs sea salt+ 6tbs instant coffee

(no name)+6tbs baking soda @ 31 deg.C topped water to 36oz, in Rotary (beseler

motor base) using stainless tank 4 reels, 15min instead of 25min because my lid

popped open :( half way and I stopped the process. The result is nothing, not

even the margin number... Things are going badly... What I did not correct in

the shooting phase? Plz help...

 

Thx,

Marc-Andre Dumas

I bought 4X5 Films from China, Belgium, France, U.S.A and I also brought w/ me my film under x-ray (carry-on) 5-6 times, exposed and non-exposed and I NEVER had any trouble... never. Don't worry bout that. I'm living in Canada.

le Creole n'est pas une langue, c'est un dialecte et en louisianne la majorite des gens parle le francais, tout comme en Haiti...

For real? I read that urine (human pee) is a dev. agent? for real?

I will be using both 2 1/4 and 4x5 films. Using a Sekonic L-508 for my scene

reading. Any1 has good recipe w/ any Dev vs Film combo? I don't have a

densitometer, so i'll not be able to do my own reciepe :(... I'll be using a

unicolor processing drum on a beseler motor base for the 4x5 and a standard 4

reals (35mm) stainless tank for the 2 1/4 films, processing 2 of them at a time.

 

Thanks,

Hi, I wrote few emails to photo.net about something in my account to change and

the never gave me any feedback about my question... Is it normal? Yes I checked

the box that 'I want reply' :)

il y a l'Haiti qui est juste a cote ainsi que la Louisianne... Not Nobody :) Few of you speak french. Like you do. (or know) Dan.

I like you Dan, even if you dislike me ;) Fantastic!

Should I ask you to write to me in french... I'll also laught at you... And my name Mad Mad are my initials for Marc-Andre Dumas... I don't know why you are searching troubles... This is a bad thing on this friendly site. So Vinmy or whatever, stop harrassing me plz.

Vimy or vini.. if 20$ is a bad spent... If 20$ makes me feel bad... Should I continue doing photo? How many times you processed a film and the result was bad? How much money you spent that way... 20$ in photo is 0,02$ in real life... I really don't care about this and I'm happy about your answers, they are helpfull, Probably I'll be able to use the 2x3 lens on a baby speed graphic... who knows, not only 4x5 gives good results. Look the image in my gallery that represent an 'Old Bus' in black and white, it has been made w/ the press photo lens that came with my speed graphic (and also, almost of them) the lens is a Kodak ektar 127mm f4.7 probably made for 2x3... In the picture the movements of the lens panel were to Maximum.

I tried to put Hoya r72 infrared filter in front of my LG-2000 cell phone and

The results are really interesting... Really similar to a kodak HIE... I can't

show you the results for now I didn't buy the driver to connect the cell phone

to the computer. The Question is: Why the pictures are in black and white?

barrel lenses will fit on graflex speed graphic w/ its curtain shutter... If you have one somewhere... who knows.

if the links doesn't work:

 

VOIGTLANDER SKOPAR 1:4.5 F=10.5cm middle/ large format lens no.793835 in uncommon barrel with 4.5-32 diaphragm and 32mm mount

 

Kodak 7.5" f4.5 Ananstigmat No. 33 barrel lens

I bought 2 old barrel lenses... do they cover 4x5 inches?

To try on my speed graphic...

What do you think of this? The prices are ok?

A nice 4x5 camera for architecture...

take other picture in different scenes and lightning and try different way to process it and post a new image to us...

don't care about this... the temp doesn't affect the fixer. only when you will process, be sure to have the right temp. It will become clear, you can also try to use it now if it's fresh...
