I'll paste in my response thatI also sent in PM.... I had an oldie 360 and it was quite decent. I'd definitely look for the 350 KL though, which will be better corrected, for color work. I have the 210 and that thing is *amazing*.... a kenko 2x on that would probably be quite good. Don't...

Yep, experimentation is definitely necessary. It really depends on the filter used, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much agreement between the different filters. Anyway, with my #87, the prescription is about right. It does vary with glass and filter though, of course. N.b. the...

To compete with the mamiya 7 w/ 210mm lens, please! I don't mind scale focusing....

Let's have a 30 page thread on what it means... ;)

Check out the LVT option at Chicago albumen.

Focus ~10% closer and stop down a bit more for good measure; that will be sufficient for most of the current film/filter combinations. If you rig an apo process lens on there, chances are good that it'll not need any refocus. I proved this some time ago on an LF field camera using a...

Sounds like there are already people here who'd like to place orders! This is great. I'd like something in a ~210-300 mm focal length that covers 5x7 and is f/2.8, please :)

Great work, I also look forward to seeing results! What was the net cost of this lens, for you to make it?

The Mamiya 150 SF may entertain. Apart from that and similar imagon lenses, you can of course get an LF lens and rip out the aperture blades and make yourself a perfectly round aperture disc. I did this with an old convertible lens and, notwithstanding the 5 minutes of math I had to do to...

I understand that with some work you can modify one of those trendy APS / half-frame digital things to run genuine film through it. I haven't tried the modification myself yet, though.

Something I thought of doing a long time ago but never got around to it: you could probably purchase individual fused quartz elements and achromats from Edmund Scientific and put together something like a tessar with high UV transmission.

I posted a paper neg in the gallery recently... quite easy...

Why not just apply it where you want it, with a brush.

Autochrome is more interesting to me, frankly.

I think that's a bit coarse. The new Chinese consumer is young, educated, and not inclined to work insqualid conditions for low wages. We need to recognize that, encourage responsible behavior, welcome them to the modern world, and let bygones be...

Yes, the Rollei (and similar) film only pokes a bit past the visible red. To get "true" IR effects I find that deep filters and rather large exposure compensations are needed with this film. Let me suggest superpan and a deep red gel over the flash.

This is true, and I have heard several times, from independent sources, that the trend in China (still growing at 10%) favors authenticity i.e. the Chinese consumer is quickly moving away from discounted knockoffs, and there is a new pride associated with owning high-end, brand-name products...

Just remember that Weegee was "in your face" most of the time. For most concerts, that isn't the case.

It's an interesting idea. I am a bit doubtful that you'll get much boost for the IR flash, though. What's it output spectrum? if you put an rm72 over the light source, I doubt you'll get much extra exposure of the film. It'll just have to be tried. This film has rather limited IR...

(0) Is the neg really worth printing? Assuming it is... (1) First find out what is in the neg- understand its contrast index and what detail is where on the curve. To do this, I make a matrix of exposure and contrast on multigrade paper or just make some contacts in a bunch of different ways...

Wikipedia suggests that tea shodul have much higher quercetin levels... I think my approach would be the opposite- get a lot of different kinds, throw in some red onions to, make a nice soup. Something in the soup will do the job. I guess there is a fair amount of selenium in there too...

Well I was assuming that *some* coating machinery is still intact and operational. I am not proposing to bring anything out from mothballs.... Nevermind.

Ron, why not preserve the current throughput and just stockpile. Probably wouldn't cost that much to cold-store a couple years' supply.

Yeah yeah. So, just to be clear, we can send you 8x10s and you will process them? For how much? ;) But seriously, I'd like nothing more than for you to charge some absolutely mind-blowing fee to do one-off kodachrome processing. Just name your price. Then this news will percolate through...

Frizza is on here, he does ilfochrome... he certainly has the skills.

Great job. Did you use a filter? The veins really stand out nicely.

I wonder if the developing ability of the shallots will be as variable as their taste. There are some very mild shallots and some very sharp ones... I certainly hope your result is reproducible, it's intriguing! Offhand the CI of the slide doesn't look very favorable though... I hope I'm wrong.

Well, the blue dog democrats generally favor "traditional" values when it comes to social matters. I hope we won't get into which specific values, and what is traditional about them, the thread will get even messier! Personally I have no tolerance for government intrusion in private matters...

CGW your BS just isn't worth dignifying. I decided to do other APUG members the courtesy of not quoting you. You just need to go do some homework. ~~~ Steve, the traditional liberal-conservative balance in the US is completely askew right now. You can't even interpret our politics in terms...

Kodak? Quit changing the subject ;)
