Are you guys talking about Rollei's "near" IR 400 ISO film? Or is there another Rollei IR film I'm missing? All I see on Freestyle is the "near" IR 400 speed film...

Thanks for the help, Frank. I took a couple shots early this morning. I'll see what happens, but I'm guessing everything will be fine.

I apologize in advance for the amateur question...

 

I have a Graflex shutter on my Crown Graphic with a 135mm Ektar lens mounted

within. I also have a Kodak Flash Supermatic Shutter with 203mm Ektar lens than

I mailed off this morning for a CLA. Now, the question is: Can I mount the

203mm lens in the Graflex shutter without any negative consequences? I

understand I need to come up with a new f/stop scale, since the 203mm lens is

f:7.7. Is there anything else I need to consider other than that? The lens

screws into the shutter without any problems. I was just curious if there might

be an issue with the distance between the front and rear elements. It focuses

fine on the ground glass.

 

Thanks in advance.

I've been searching on this site and the web in general for the answer to this

question for quite some time now, with no luck.

 

I have a Kodak 203mm lens mounted in a Kodak Flash Supermatic Shutter. Does

anyone know the lens board hole size I need for this shutter? Any help would be

appreciated!

 

Cheers.

I recommend the Slideprinter in Denver, CO. I just had a 4x5 Provia slide enlarged (makes a great Christmas present, matted and framed) via mail order. The print is exceptional. These guys are professional, fast, and they're friendly too.

 

I live in Madison, WI now, but I lived in Denver for seven years. I used to go in there all the time. I can recommend them without hesitation.

I'm in the same boat as Mike M. Even with a digital camera I composed all of my shots very carefully. I'd go backpacking for three days and come back with at most 10 shots. That's when I learned about large format...

Thanks for the help all. You've certainly given me a good idea. I'll probably end up giving him around $70 or so, and I know he won't accept it, but that's what I'll do. He does love red wine also.

A friend of mine who just so happens to be an amazing 78 year old mountaineer

and photographer allowed me to borrow his old Lunasix, and said that he doesn't

use it anymore. He told me that if I wanted it, I could "just give him a few

bucks for it". It's been tested/calibrated and it's spot on. I'm just

wondering how much money I should give him. It's at the very least 20 years

old, but it's in perfect shape. I don't know how much these things go for. I

would check on ebay but the company I'm doing contract work for blocks their

site. Anyway, what do you guys and gals think a fair price for this lightmeter

would be? He's such a nice guy, and I always enjoy talking photography with

him. He was also a co-worker of mine for a while at the REI in Denver, CO. So

I want to be generous.

I can vouch for DR5, as Adam mentioned before. David does excellent work. I live in Denver and have stopped by his place to drop off film and chat with him. You can trust him and his work...no doubt about it. Most of what he processes is shipped to him.

Wow. I didn't mean to cause an uproar here. For the record, you can't just say "any bag will do", because that's just not true. I was more interested in finding a bag that fits properly around a TLR, which will keep it tight and padded. My Father gave me the camera, and he's suffering from a very bad form of brain cancer right now, and I'd like to keep it safe and secure. It's sort of a family heirloom to me. I don't mean to drop the C word like that, just trying to give you guys an idea why I don't just want "any bag".

 

Thanks again.

I did a search, but couldn't find any info or recommendations for

camera bags that work well with a TLR. I would prefer it if I could

find a LowePro, because I've had good luck with their stuff. Anyone

have any suggestions?

 

Thanks, and have a great weekend everyone.

Well, I went to my local lab and just had the slides blown up to 6"X6", and the prints came out fine. So all of you were correct in saying the issue was caused by the scanner.

 

Thanks for all the help everyone.

Doh! I keep pasting an incorrect link.

Taras,

<br><br>

 

This example is Agfa Scala processed at dr5, so it is a B&W slide. And this particular slide is of low contrast, so your explanation makes sense.

 

Here is an example of a color slide that shows vertical streaking as well, but it is much more subdued. The streaks are noticeable at the bottom center, on the green fleece jacket.

Thanks for the help all!

Sorry, here is a working link.

I took some slides over to Reed Imaging in Denver last week to have

them scanned. Today I received the scans on CD, and I'm not happy at

all. There is a wealth of streaking in the photos. I need to figure

out if this is the result of a bad scan, or the camera itself

(Yashicamat 124). The camera is new to me, and it's the first time

I've had any of my slides scanned from this camera. The slides look

GREAT on the light table. I see NO streaking whatsoever. However,

the scans looks atrocious! Am I missing something? Any ideas

folks?

The example pic is also in my profile. Thanks for your time.

Great. Thanks for the responses. I just ordered some Ektachrome 100GX as well as some Astia.

 

How about cross-processing the Ektachrome? Does anyone have any basic advice as far as exposure goes?

 

Thanks again.

I think I found my answer...it's GX, correct?

 

How does it stand up to SW?

Am I right in assuming that Ektachrome E100SW has been

discontinued? What are my alternatives as far as 120 goes? I've

heard a few good things about the VS, but have never shot it.

 

I thought the SW was a super film, haven't shot it in a few years

though.

Heck, I still listen to records over CDs. So you don't want my opinion on the matter.

Dan,

 

Can you recommend a good lab in Denver for processing Agfa Scala? I've heard great things about Reed on Federal, but I've never made a trip there.

 

BTW, this is my first post here, but have been reading this site for months. What an incredible resource! I love this place.
