8x10 test passed!
Dr Croubie

8x10 test passed!

- First shot with my new-to-me 8x10 camera (Cambo SCX).
- First shot with my new-to-me (probably 80 year old) Gundlach Turner Reich Convertible Anastigmat 12"/21"/28", only T, B, and 1/50 (it's missing a spring to get 1/20-1s). Front mounted to a Technika board using lens step-rings.
- First test with a roll of 9.5" x 125' of TMX Aerial film, cut to 8x9.5" with a paper guillotine (I'll get a film slitter one day).
- handheld Orange filter because I haven't made an adapter yet.
- metered at ei64 because I didn't know how expired the film was, guesstimated 1s using B, then Microphen times for ei100 anyway.
- First dev using my new CL81 8x10 reel

Looks like it passed all of the tests :)

All those variables, and you've created a great photograph! Very nice indeed; I look forward to seeing more.
 
Your first 8x10 photograph with enough goofy stuff going on to require three arms and an assistant. Well done!

Yes, that about covers it! Well done indeed. You must be rapt :smile:
 
Just proving again that, a) it's not so hard, and b) content aside, nothing beats a big contact print.
 
Thanks for all the love guys :smile: I wouldn't normally have so many variables, but I was just itching to get out and try the damn thing. I think the worst thing was from the CL81, because it's meant to hold a full 10" sheet, and this was only 9.5", it slipped out and scratched on the edge (cropped when scanning). Can't wait to contact-print it on the weekend. And develop the other one I shot, it'll look great too as long as the tripod didn't wobble too much. ps, not in California, although SA does look very similar. I found this spot walking down a dirt road last year for WPPD, and it's already one of my favourite spots (there are always great view around the hills, but almost mostly obscured by trees).
