With most papers, you can use a red safelight or red filter over your enlarger lens so that you can see what you're doing when you line the film up. I do that to get the framing just right, if I want clean white borders. Yes, I always do emulsion-to-emulsion, and for bendy negs I weigh them...

Chris, I don't rate the ISO of my neg film anywhere close to half the box speed. Approximately a third stop or half stop is all I seem to need add to get very rich saturation. To a c41 beginner, I would recommend bracketing in half stops, e.g. EV-1.5, -1, -0.5, 0, and +0.5. To a slide...

Some XA stuff...

Welcome from C'ville Virginia.

Oh yes, I remember that one!

I propose that we link to one or two of our current favourite colour photographs by APUG members, and say a few words about it. ~~ Oh, alright, I'd be happy to begin! :rolleyes: This was posted by member "stevewillard" in March 2008...

Very pretty, expertly composed. How about joining the colour group here at APUG? ;)

Brad, the fisheye gives roughly 180 degrees on 6x7. http://www.mamiya.com/rb67-pro-sd-lenses-37mm-f4.5-fisheye.html I use the lens a fair amount and like it a lot. It's shockingly good.

See this site. Lots of good tips.

The 37mm rb fisheye is excellent and will work on the rz. Way more than 90 degrees!!! But if you crop down to 90 you'll not be disappointed! An especially good solution if you are open to electronic corrections later. Let's see, the rb 50mm on the rb with 6x8 back might get you close to 90...

The DeJarnette ctr. is one of the venues we may consider for the upcoming C'ville photo get-together in May. I have visited with Joe Harrigan and plan to go back very soon as part of a series on eugenics.

Swannanoa is right at the intersection of skyline drive and the blue ridge parkway. Look for afton inn, it's right above that. You drive a *very* short distance (quarter mile or less) on blue ridge parkway after turning off I-64, go up a driveway and voila. I and Richard will put together...

Agreed!

Well, the older b&w emulsions had low (or no) red sensitivity. Hence the lenses were not optimized into the red; some of the really old lenses may have been calculated/optimized only for blue. Older lenses are the opposite of apochromatic: they have large focus shifts for different wavelengths...

How about a canonet or such.

With which film(s) do you see the extra edge density?

This has a very nice semi-abstract feeling, and good use of the warming filter!

By taking up 7x17? :o

You might also contact Zhang Fu Ming at Shen Hao (zhangfmli@vip.sina.com).

Well, Tom, we (folks in the C'ville / W'boro area) have all manner of LF gear, if there is something a person wants to use... no need to rent. I have all manner of 5x7s, a 4x10 / 5x8 and two 8x10s, and a half ton of medium format stuff (rb67 pro sd, rz pro2, mamiya 645AFD and pro, mamiya 6es)...

I think the bottom line with these is that you pretty much want to focus at infinity and have everything in focus, and f/8 seems to be the optimal aperture for most purposes, with the smaller mirror lenses intended for SLR use. The bokeh is bubbly.

My reason for suggesting a folder is that (a) they are very cool, even today and (b) they are very compact. Teenagers these days are so used to pocket gizmos, they probably don't want to schlep anything large. On the other hand, with some old cameras there may be that puppydog effect: Aww...

Hmm, I am interested in this answer as well. Looking at the catadioptric design... ...I am guessing that it'd be very tough (=expensive) to change the sizes of the primary and secondary reflectors on the fly. With this design I think you really want to avoid overfilling the primary and...

Interesting idea, show us where it takes you!

Hi Sly, welcome. I think you can post your gums; I think the main point is that we might not want a lot of discussion on digital negs and scanners and whatnot... keeping the focus on colour photography, in other words. Anyway Robert runs the show so he can say! As for me, I'm interested in...

Why not cut up a bit of exposed film and test it. About the drying marks, do you use photoflo?

Sly, look for "groups" in the main APUG menu bar and then when you select the group name and enter, you will see some little text at the bottom to join.

Heh, same age as Thomas and my favourite format is 5x7, go figure ;)

How about a medium format folder.

Is that a light leak from bottom left? (the reddish portion)
