I apologize if this question has been answered sufficiently before

and thank you in advance for a quick hint (times for 20 degrees

Celsius). Alternatively, I have D-76 at hand. Which one would you

prefer?

I did my search but found different development times. I understood

it is better to use Microphen undiluted (1+0).

 

Could you help me with some quick answers? The negs will be scanned

at 4000 dpi. Temperature of the water will be around 20-23 degrees

Celsius. Film TX (new Tri-X) was used at 1600 ASA.

 

Which time/agitation should I use? Is it advisable to use Microphen

as stand developer to enhance the compensating effect?

 

Thanks a lot for a quick reply! And a Happy New Year!

Thank you, Preston, for the link. Yes I was in India a couple of times before. I was just wondering whether another forum member was as the festival before, and what is the best way to travel from Calcutta to the site, best photo locations on the island, etc. Anyway, I appreciate a lot the link you sent me. Sounds interesting, doesn't it?

Hello fellow travel photogs. I am planning a trip to the Sagar Mela

festival in India, on 12 - 14 January 2004, on Sagar island approx.

150 km south of Calcutta. I would appreciate any advice you can

give, incl. how to get there. I am planning to do B&W, with two

Leica M and 35 and 90mm to keep things simple. Thank you all very

much in advance!

could you be so kind to post a detail, where the grain is visible? Scan resolution? Thx a lot in advance.

The scratches on film from the commerical lab!

What do you think about this one?

No serial?

Thank you all for your most helpful replies!

Two old cameras came into my posession through a friend who

inherited the two from an unfortunately diseased elderly family

member:

 

Contax Rangefinder, Serial No. F 41080

with a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 1:2 f=5 cm, Serial No. 1862617 and a

brown leather eveready case, black leather lens cup.

 

Conditon: Looks nice, but shutter won't release (was laying for over

20 years in a bedroom drawer), light meter not working. Lens has

micro cleaning scratches on the front.

Robot Rangefinder, Serial No. B 43 908-5

with a Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 1:2 f=4 cm with a brown leather

eveready case, and the two film spools. Lens has minor cleaning

scratches on the front.

 

Condition:

Nice condition, everything seems to work, incl. motor, viewfinder

bright and clear.

Can anyone of you help me to establish the production date, and the

approximate value of these cameras?

 

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

"For chrissake, a Summilux is f/1.4 wide open and a Summicron is f/2. F/1/4 has less depth of field. Period. It really is that simple. "

 

Question: Has a Summilux stopped down to f/2 the same DOF as a Summicron wide open?

What is your favourite combination of an OM and a Leica M for

travel? I like OM-3 with 100mm/2.0 and a Leica M6 Classic with the

35mm/1.4. How do you combine the best of two worlds?

Thank you all for response. Do you know what the street price for a mint one might be?

Would appreciate your comments. Heard a lot good reports about this

lens, but am curious if somebody has actually used the lens. Thx a

lot!

I am finally ready to bath my TriX in Rodinal. I have a few

questions:

 

1. What is the minimum quantity of Rodinal, regardless the dilution,

per 35mm film)?

 

2. What is the best combination of film rating /I prefer 200 ASA)

and dilution (1:25/1:50/1:100) for finest grain/best tonality/ best

sharpness?

 

3. Temperature and agitation for point 2.?

 

Thank you all inadvance for your help!

Venice, M6, Summilux, XP2<div></div>

.. forgot to mention, it is for 35mm film.

Could somebody be so kind to advise me on the development time and

rhythm for the new Tri-X in HC-110, dilution B for pull-processing

the film as 200 ASA? I also have some Ilford ID-11. How would you do

it with this stuff? Thank you very much in advance!

From your experience, which combination of 400 ASA B&W 35mm film and

developer gives you the best results if scanned (at 4000 dpi) with a

film scanner? Would be particularly interested in Kodak Tri-X and

rodinal vs D-76. Thank you!

Rolfe: Great shot. What were you doing in Afghanistan, if I may ask?

The 41st: Microtect ArtixScan 4000t!<div></div>

Anybody out there who knows which developer/dilution Sebastiao Salgado is using for his TriX? Am I right that he uses Rodinal, too, or is this just a rumour?

M6, 50 Lux, Delta 400<div></div>

...here it is.
