So here's an interesting problem I encountered on the weekend. Finally processed the rolls I shot on my recent trip through canada, uk, nl and singapore. 6x 120 RVP50, 4x 135 RVP50, 4x 135 Provia100F (and 6x sheets of 4x5 RVP50 I found in a cupboard that turned out to be shot around Nov 2016 in...

THIS bad boy. (including a nice 1300km round-trip to pick it up)

Ooh wow, I'm very tempted to try this myself one day (or I was, until I read a few posts here saying how hard it was, maybe I'd better get home-made B+W emulsions working first). At any rate, very impressive. Just wondering, is the colour of the sky in the last one actually mottled like that...

is as good a reply as any to that

Wow, round 11 already? Nice to see that the signup thread started over 2 years ago (continuing the precedent started in round 10, obviously) Count me in if it's not already too late? (Adelaide, Australia, you gotta have at least one photo from this hemisphere) Also, I know that there's...

I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere, but anyone interested in (*some of*) the (*potential*) differences between 'film-era' lenses and 'digital era' lenses might consider reading the following few articles...

Holy crap, can it be almost done? In the (3?) years since I last had the camera I lost my shitty job, went back to uni to do a Master's, nearly ran out of money, got a new job (which is way better than the old one, but actually had work to do so couldn't be on apug all day), sort of lost...

I am so calling shotgun on this...

Don't forget to add the trip I drove from Adelaide to Melbourne and back with the camera in-tow, that's another 1500km or so...

Trying to figure out which is which of the K1000 and Ferrania, the M is obvious. Would that make Mr X something like a Canon EOS Rebel? Bit slick looking, bit middle of the road, nothing particularly exciting, but inexplicably popular because noone can afford the M and noone really trusts the...

Wow, it still has those Saffa stamps on it! When I posted it onwards AusPost made me wrap it in brown paper so they wouldn't get confused...

To be realistic though, we all know that re-quoting will just get buried in the noise as we find something else stupid to talk about. Like Eagles. Eagles what attack Kangaroos. Kangaroos what wear police uniforms. Policemen who chase eagles to get back said kangaroo because said kangaroo wears...

AFAIK, the Nikonos 35mm 'kit' lens and the 80mm lens are for over/under water use. There's a dryland-only 80mm f/4 (and lets face it, it's really easy to design such a slow long-focus lens so I'm assuming that its IQ is great too). The 28mm and shorter are underwater only, refractive components...

None of the above stand up well in a rainstorm, let alone underwater. Ergo, I suggest Nikonos V.

What software? My v750 came with Silverfast Ai, if you've got it too I'd highly recommend you use it. Other than that, turn off all auto crap, run it as manual as possible (same as I treat a camera, really)
