Keith, I did not bracket this as it was more of a snapshop but I did indeed use avg. metering which I use to use quite often before I've begun turning to my hand-held almost all the time now.

That picture is interesting tiber, that is very close to the style I'm trying to get at here.

Mark, thank you a great deal. I'm going to try this. I've been over exp only 1 stop but sometimes not backlit. So you think I should place the incident dome at the face and have it face the camera? I've used Richards and I felt they are by far the best I've ever used but now with my darkroom...

Ta da indeed. Just for info guys, here is another photographer that gets that same look that I am trying to get. I don't always want to shoot this but sometimes I wish I could. http://josevillablog.com/

Tim, he own a Noritsu Minilab, the 2500 I believe.

I think bracketing is a good idea. Also, I notice on a lot of his images he has shot directly into the sun.... I'll give this a try with the 400H first, then the 800z. I really do love fuji color films. Even use their instax...

Thanks guys. We are all on the same page. So, it's not grabbing the film and pods when I pull on the two tabs. So how does one Tweak this up. It's impossible to grab, I've even tried using a size zero screw-driver..? Thank you again.

This is what I get but perhaps he is shotting directly into the sun. And this was a nasty day so I'm sure I did not over exp. 800z is no doubt my fav color neg. When it looked like they were going to discontinue it, I cried... :) Thank you much.

Well, you see Vaughn, this is very interesting. First, per the instructions on the 55 and the pola holder, I move to "L" before I put the sheet in. Is this not correct. Does this little silver tab "JAM" the end of the film sheet (Black bar) and prevent the film from coming out. I have to...

It does look a bit "lensbabyish" Very nice photos Keith, I'd be interested in knowing. I use the 800z quite a bit and don't get that. This guy uses a Contax 645 a lot and I don't think they make a lensbaby for that. Thank you.

No I've not. But his interviews state the above films. What do you think?

Opps, forgot the link... http://canlasphotography.blogspot.com/2009/10/carter-family-and-then-some.html

Jeff, no, I understand that, I am speaking of the tiny little silver piece about 1/32 of an inch "inside" the holder that would grab the end of the packet when pulling out. I am assuming John is speaking of this?

Hi, I happen to love the look of wedding and all around photographer of this gent as well as Jose Villa. Both 100 pct film photographers. I've been trying for months to get this look. Using such as 400H and 800z Fuji films with over exp. a stop or so. (I listen to their Analog Radio...

John, do you mean the silver metal tab in the middle of the "end" of the holder? Thank you. Tom

First time using the 545 pola back and type 55 film. I placed the envolope in the holder exactly as described and when I pulled out the tabs (envolope) the film should stay in the holder so the picture can be taken. I didn't think so after running my thumb and forefinger on the env. and...

Looking into buying this body, no lens. WIll as standard film holder, i.e., a 4x5 fidelity, fit this? Thank you much.

Thanks Tons Mopar, wonder if I can use my pocket wizards. I don't see why not, do you?

Don, thanks, I do have these two, but how do I connect to them. A PC cable would not fit of course. Thanks again.

I have the Crown, no rear shutter.... Is it possible I can be missing this? No sync connection on the Optar 135mm?

Thank you all for taking your time and helping me figure this out. I'll try the existing 135 first for a portrait, develop and see and then go from there and post my results. Thank you again. Tom

David, priceless. Anymore?

My bud and I will be in the Village on Halloween night. Let me tell you, there is NO better photo op that this, if you'd like I'd be more then happy to explain.

P.S. When doing this or even without logging, follow Kodak (for example) pdf's on that specific film. NOT on-line i.e., Massive Dev Chart. Then stick to it. A great many times the film mfr's will include Rotary dev times that I've found perfect for me.

I use the Jobo 2300 ATL. Here is the bottom line that I found. After many different results with each different film, NOT just different chems, i.e., C-41,E-6,BW, I had to begin a log. I can post a draft for you to see and customize to your own. (Excel file) For example: in the C-41 world...

Your timing is perfect! Robert Frank's "America" is now at the Moma... A can't "afford not to see" And.... Sally Mann until Oct 31st at the gagosian!!! I really love her work. If you can, rent the DVD of hers before you go for for your travel. http://www.gagosian.com/

This should help John. http://photo.net/alternative-cameras-forum/00CpsA

One of the best sites: Dead Link Removed A good discussion thread over at: http://photo.net/alternative-cameras-forum/00CpsA

Nice and your welcome... I have seen many a Apug'er do such things for heads ups here. I think is uber-unique and classy. I hope the winner is from here. Good luck to him.

Today, in the darkroom, complete darkness I placed a 4x5 sheet in the back of the Polaroid 150. Sure it's a one at a time deal, but I can't wait to develop and see what comes out and then leverage it to more suitable subjects from the minds eye. I also use the Fuji FP-100c in my Mamiza RZ67...
