Films will always be slightly different (better at rendering shadows, mids or highlights, other spectral responses than others and so forth) but I think the term of "film look" is so watered out that it carries no meaning. One film can be made to behave in a lot of different ways just by using...

I use a MOD54 in my standard Paterson tanks. Works great and I've had no issues, not even with loading the film.

I've developed 12 sheets of 4x5" this week. Mostly calibration sheets but a few 'real' images as well. With some luck I'll have my personal development times/exposure indexes figured out pretty soon.

That...that is a large enlarger. I like it in red.

I'm curious what these lenses can resolve on film (like Adox CMS 20) but for resolution I'll go with larger formats. I've used my 50 1.8G on film extensively with very nice results, the only downside is that 1.8 isn't enough when it gets dark. And since we only have 6 hours between sunrise and...

What do you want yourself? I'm very happy with by SQ-Ai system which I've paid pennies for compared to what a comparable Hasselblad system would have cost me. Also, a electronic controlled shutter rather than an old mechanical one. If you want the Hasselblad and can live with the cost, just go...

Vad roligt! Jag kommer inte ha möjlighet att delta själv men kul att du har dragit ihop det hela!

Test your current times with a scene of normal contrast and see how it looks. If your current time looks ok for a normal scene (7 stops, isch) you know that you have a decent normal time, and you can probably guess at times for high and low contrast scenes as well. If it's not ok with a normal...

Ah. The film (Rollei RPX 100) might have been a few years old. I've shot a lot of this film without issues like this, so I'm not very worried about it. I've started shooting FP4+ now as well (it was cheaper last time I ordered more film) which I'm very confident will be without issues as well :)

Thank you. I had to burn in the sky and left hand side of the water quite a bit as the negative received 'plus' development, it was tricky to do both at the same time. Taken during a lunch break around noon in Jan or Feb 2016, so the sun is quite low this far north.

Thanks. A month or two after taking this I noticed that my front element hadn't been cleaned in a while and was very dirty, most pictures taken before cleaning it are soft and low in contrast. This one is soft and required a some filtration and burn-ins to work.

Thanks. I print nearly all my 35 mm negatives using this filed negative holder, I kinda like it. Doesn't work with all images however.

Thanks. We took the ski lift up to shoot some snowy landscapes, and I used the leading lines to make this easy on the eye. Printing snow is hard.

Thanks. Not sure, the same texture is visible on the negatives. I'm pretty picky with managing temperature for all baths when developing but maybe some spike during washing? That or that it took more than a year before I developed it after exposure?

Printing snow is hard, scanning it is even harder...
