  1. I am a real fan of tri-x pushed to 1600 developed in XTOL, but I hate the thought of mixing powder. Have anyone tried it in TMAX?

     

     

    If I look at the following two images which compares XTOL and TMAX for tri-x, it looks to me like TMAX actually has finer grain?

  2. <p>Hey everyone.</p>

    <p>I have currently made a drastic turn in my photography, and now almost only shoot film, especially tri-x.. The reason for this is that I want the pushed tri-x look, with the deep blacks, the gritty look and the insane contrast. I am pretty close to replicating this look, but I feel that I am missing something?<br /><br />First of all, this is the look I am trying to replicate:<img src="http://i.imgur.com/uzjasWJ.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="636" /></p>

    <p>I know this shot is shot at 1600, and for now I have only done 800:<br /><img src="http://i.imgur.com/EU69TPr.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="645" /><br>

    So my question is, what am I missing?</p>

    <p>I have three teories:</p>

    <p>1. I need to push the tri-x even one step further(1600 instead of 800)<br /> 2. I need to change developer? I currently use DDX<br /> 3. There is some magic in post processing I havent quite catched yet.</p>

  3. <p>I am currently on my way to the store, but would like to confirm with the peeps here about the Lee Filters system and the Canon 17-40 first. Is there any vignetting at all using the Lee Filters foundation holder with a 105mm polariser mounted? This is what I'm thinking of purchasing:<br>

    (the first product is LEE nd graduated soft kit)</p>

  4. <p>It was photographed during the day, but during the wintertime, so was a dull light.</p>

    <p>But that must have been really bad luck? Several people never saw this happen once. I guess if I actually purchase the Lee Filter holder with the Lee Filter wide angle adapter, this will prevent this, or at least be better. The Hitech holder even appeared with dark vignetting on 17-20 mm on the 17-40 lens.</p>

  5. Hello

     

    I'm finally stepping up my a game and investing in lee filters. I have some questions I hope you can answer:

     

    1. Do anyone of you use the wide hood holder? Is it worth it ? How do you mount the 105mm polarizer ? Can you turn the polarizer with

    the hood extended, or do you have to minimize it ?

     

    2. Which filters would you reccomend ? Which grads? I already have a big stopper from hitech, I thougt I would be using this as well.

     

    3 is it really important to clean your filters with cloths before taking a shot? I some times get this circles on my shot I beleive come from

    dust on the filter

  6. <p>Hello guys.. I have several Camera bags, and by now the one I am most pleased with is the Case Logic 206.. </p>

    <p>But today, I received my battery grip(holy, it´s a new world!) but none of my bags fit my camera now.</p>

    <p><br />I don´t like it when I feel the bag is very tight when I zip close it. It seems to me that when I zip, it adds pressure to the camera..</p>

    <p>(and I am done with flipside, I don´t like it so much).</p>

    <p>So, which camera bag, can fit a gripped 5d MARK 3? My heaviest lens is 70-200 2.8 IS II.</p>

    <p>I do want a snuggy one, so I feel comfortable with my camera being inside there. The Lowerpro bag has way too rough material, and I dont feel comfortable with that. I like the cotton material in the Case Logic.</p>

    <p>Hope anyone has some good tips. </p>

  7. <p>Hi everyone.</p>

    <p>Just one quick question, does anyone own a flower hood(like the 70-200 2.8 hood) on their 4.0? <br /><br />Have anyone actually tried the JJC lens hoods? <br /><br /><br />I see they sell this one, which looks like the 2.8 hood.</p>
