Which developer, dilution, time and temperature did you use?

Come on sing along with me I found the place provides GP strip a buck or two from GP Three you will never gonna charge us more, yeah Oh yea, price is dropping like a stone (...) Never, never, my darling Never you'll pay some more Never, never, my darling Never you'll pay some more Ever...

Yes... I'd do the same. I sold an F-1 last month and it was after many months of deliberating. But this was the F-1 that was in "worst" shape and i had 6 F-1 cameras so it made sense. But my New F-1s, difficult to part away with them.

You think a 80mm lens in 6x6 would have "more aberrations" than the equivalent 45-50mm in 135 format "because of the increase in focal length", but this isn't correct. Both lenses are the same angle of view, and this is what matters. Both will likely be double gauss designs (same optical...

Surprise surprise There is other seller on the internet selling GP3 220 directly from china at USD $11,80 per roll (if you buy 10 rolls)... compare this with the $17,99 "shop.shjcfilm.com" wants to charge per roll... That's a price where it starts becoming reasonable...

Looks like a beautiful system. As a proud owner of five F-1 cameras, including a LA Olympics New F-1., i say, good luck with your sale, and whoever buys it, is buying a killer system with amazing build quality. Solid as an anvil.

I had more or less the same impresion when I saw my first enlargment done from a 6x7 negative.

Perhaps using a flatbed scanner, which infamously doesn't extract all the information contained in the film and adds a ton of aberrations... Of course, the bigger the film area, the smaller the detriment of a flatbed film scanner on the image.

Me too. Shipping from Japan to Peru using DHL or FedEx takes just a few days, is totally reliable, and costs less than shipping from USA using USPS Priority International (plus it's quicker.)

Yes, you are correct. My bad.

Any high-iso (i.e. "800") film, when pulled, will give low contrast, that is soft contrast with soft gradations. Even more if you ask people to use a special developer that no doubt will contribute to that. That's one of the reasons to suspect there is some relationship between R320 and T800...

We know how Fuji is. They don't have any presence in Photrio nor other places. They don't want to talk with the analog community anywhere. They just want to milk the cow. It's obvious why they have discontinued all C41 films in 120 format: because the big demand is for 35mm consumer-quality...

No bad news, the OP is looking for Provia in 120 format, which is not discontinued.

Thanks for this explanation!

Hi Donald, i'm asking for your knowledge here -- i thought most developers were alkaline. D76 is pH 8.3-8.8 (there doesn't seem to be an agreement). This is mildly alkaline. Would this be ok? Foma has this "Universal" developer, a PQ developer containing a lot of sodium carbonate (it also...

Have you experienced the problem where thin black lines (when looking at a positive) appear through the image? Which is what many 120 Fomapan 200 users report.

Some people believe "Retropan 320" is T800 in disguise... and i'm starting to suspect that...

CCD sensors give great color.

What do you mean with "lack of development flexibility"? I see people using it with success with as diverse developers such as Xtol (ascorbate), Rodinal, and the classic D76 (methol-hydroquinone) and variants. Yes, I agree. Moreover it seems that the younger generation prefers grain to be...

Oh my god... I sold my white face 4 months ago!!

And http://www.epi-centre.com/reports/9604cs.html Amazing...

And then most (or all?) 6x4.5 backs have a sensor size that is way smaller than 6x4.5, and are just slightly bigger than 35mm..

Manufacturers used double-layer-coating on some high quality lenses at least since the early 60s. Perhaps some triple-coatings too. Minolta was famous for that, they had the "achromatic" coating, which was dual-layer, since early on. When "multicoating" was all the rage, it used to refer to...

Fomapan 200 has "T-grains"... Not the 100 or 400 fomapans, only the 200. Closeup of Fomapan 200: There they are, the T grains. Let me introduce you to the T grains: Drew Wiley, T-grains. T-grains, meet Drew Wiley. They had a collaboration with Fuji. It used to be called "Fomapan T200", it...

There is at least one thread about the issues of Fomapan 200 in 120 format. But, in short: Since everything points out this is a T-grain emulsion, it seems that T-grain emulsions are prone to be fragile (unless you're Kodak or Fuji and know how to make them resilient). Photo Engineer (Ron)...

Interesting... So, an "Hungarian" + "Ultra" = "Czech".

SPF is a sweet camera. I regret selling mine, even today. I sold it with the coveted SMCT 28/3.5. Some months ago i obtained a Spotmatic ESII. It needs a bit of service, which someday i'll do.I always wanted that model.

This!! This!! This!! Finally somebody else notices!! Really stupid. That's why I never got along very well with FE/FE2. The Pentax design team has had very good "human engineering" people. Most of their cameras have good or superb ergonomics. The same cannot be said of Nikon, or even Canon...

I am considering suscribing. However i find the variety of films a bit limited.

Thanks for this info. "Owned by photographers" is a good thing.
