Got me a bessa r4a, haven't received it but I'm looking forward to it!

Stone, since you moved your Saltzman thread I've been checking in on it, but can't post to it.

On the subject of small formats in big enlargers, I think you've been told there is no issue of light reduction under a constant source, all other things being equal. Sometimes it's easier to visualize things when boundary conditions are in play. In this case, consider the extreme case where your negative format might be the same size as a pinprick. Common sense visualization implies how dim the resulting projection might be.

It's the exact same reason in reverse that pinhole exposures are so long.

Ken, there's a reason you can't post, you should fix that you would be a valuable contributor.

Haha English muffin film?

That would be a muffintype. I'm going for anthotype (this one by Steven Pitsenbarger)

VERY strange camera.View attachment 96018

Now you just need one of these to go with it and you can take your strange, little friend deep sea diving!

But it isn't a dive camera. See http://www.novacon.com.br/odditycameras/speedomatic.htm

If you want a bakelite dive camera, look for a Siluro Nemrod. See http://camarasclassicas.blogspot.com/2011/10/nemrod-siluro.html

I agree, would love to learn how to do this.

The f100s home. I'm trying to understand why people call it 'big'.
The mirror slap can wake up the dead. Even my RB feels muted by comparison.

I ordered 4 rolls of Rolleit ATP 1.1 yesterday to play around with. I've seen some good results with this film at ISO 25 developed for 12 minutes in Rodinal 1:300, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Get 200f of Orwo UN54+ and shoot till you exhaust. Such a beautiful film in D-76 et al. You live in one of the nicest cities and the opportunities are plenty.

the lens looks pristine!

I picked up a large used plate-warmer to use when coating emulsion on 10"x12" photographic plates. Total cost . . . $2.98 plus tax. I'm perty egg-cited to get started.

analoguey, I think so too, however, the rear element had given me a bit of grief, although a few board member's have given me hope that it won't be as bad as it seems! I had one of these a few times in the past, even a hazy one, and they all seem to function well with a great amount of sharpness!

... a lens of only one of two or three known to exist around the globe. Details later....

That one is not loading.
I see you got an f100 as well. We should compare notes on how it does - since we are both newbies to it!

I have been wanting a wide angle as well, but not very convinced about the 24mms

Yes, I just won both items, and they are in the process of being delivered to me! I can't wait! One is in my state, so it should be here by at least Thursday!
