Franka Sandhills

Revisited some shots from this winter with a Franka Rolfix. The lens is coated, but the contrast just isn't there. But, I love how the big negative (6x9) lets me crop to my heart's content.

Equipment Used

f16 @ 1/100

Kodak Portra
Keep trying different films. I used to shoot both coated and uncoated German folders and found that each lens seemed to respond to different films better in terms of contrast. With a Radionar, try Ilford Pan F for BW and for color, try something by Fuji.... maybe PE could explain this, but that was just my experience.

6x9's are just lovely, aren't they?
 
Thanks, I have some Ilford and and Fuji on the way. I'll try them both. The Fuji is rated 50. Yes, the 6x9 is amazing. It picks up so much detail.
