First shot

[Rick A]

Finally have my 11x14 up(some what)and running. Using an F9/360 APO Ronar, that's only supposed to cover 5x7, exposure was 1.5 sec. wide open with full frontal rise(could have used some back tilt too). View from my dining room in a foggy rain yesterday, then contact printed for positive, Forte VC/RC paper, no.2 filter for contact print.

Please next time, try a mild yellow filter on the taking lens to control the contrast better in daylight.I usually rate paper at ISO 3 that way.

Thank you Ralph, I haven't picked up any filters that fit this lens yet, and was antsy to try it out. I've spent the last couple of weeks cleaning and patching the bellows.

Rick, good first results. I'll be watching your progress.
