A bit more contrast might convince me too

Not if everything is blur

Is there a reason to post this?

I'm mostly a fan of Schneider, up to 210, but for more tele I much prefer the Nikon 300: very good IQ and (unparalleled?) compact and lightweight, I'd say specifically designed for hiking.

Very nice indeed, where can you find these special colors in digital! But is it normal that the text on the edge of the sheetfilm is mirrored?

Thanks! Almost as cheap as 20 sheets of Fuji Provia, or Kodak E100 which I'ld prefer 🙃

XT-3 is what I use, a variant of X-tol. The two don't differ in result, but I like XT-3 because there's no dust coming up when preparing the stock solution. That is not only personal, although X-tol has many followers, but has also to do with your own equipment and habits of processing, as...

Besides, these days there are better developers, also far better for your health and for the environment than D76, which was never my choice, certainly not for T-Max.

Maybe I can talk Andrew out of it when I offer him mine for a reasonable price. I own the 500 C/M and it's a lot of ado compared to a Rolleiflex like the 75/3.5 Planar.

I've had both, but now only the Elmar . the Summicron is a bit softer, the Elmar has more bite . yes, as follows from the first, the Elmar is more contrasty. At 5.6 though, you won't be able to guess which one it is. . genuinely usefull, the size of the Elmar is much easier to bring everywhere...

Thanks! Sharing it here would imply digital interference which is a shame and a sin 🤣 . No, but seriously, I could make a flatbed scan of FB print which is mostly better, to avoid the strange effect of excessive grain when scanning negatives; I hate scanning negatives anyway.

AAA is Analogue photo: shot on film, not scanned but contact-printed for selection and wet printed for the final image, you might call it AA indeed. But the other way is ADD, shot on film, scanned and inkjet printed.

I'm working on a project of wet printing 35mm negatives on 11x14" Rollei 111 fibre based variable grade paper developed in Moersch's Eco 4812. Although I now work on 6 prints only for on the walls at home, the final goal is a book based on a great deal of original AAA prints. I bought a new...

I did and followed what ADOX says on their website about it and I don’t see why it should be doubted as has been done here. My main reason to prefer it above the Kodak version though is that there’s no fine dust when making the liquid
