Oh I was poking fun at your typo "heave" :D . I am not opposed to traveling light, but I would face such a dilemma as well (4x5, 5DmkII, M6, Sigma Faveon, etc.) If I had an S2 that would be even harder to leave home (and would replace the 5D). I think the M6 and the S2 would be a happy compromise.

Gary

I think that is going to be my choise. I have a month to sweat it out but at least that way I can still get MF pictures with the S and the M6 is fantastic as a walk around camera.......... There's something inside saying take the 503 to for shooting the lovely mountain ranges and the Zermint ....... I mean I took 3 camera bodies and a 600, 300, 70/200, 14,24 to Tanzania without too much grief

Your autofill is a never-ending source of joy, Neil. The 40mm "Disrobing" will need an adaptor to fit the 'S', and will equate to a 40mm. You already have Leica S wide angle, don't you? If so, I doubt if the Distsgon's going to give you anything new.

Eoin I have a 30mm S lens so I think you are right. I will leave the adapter stuff for the pixcell pickets and just use the S gear as intended

thanks, Neil.  That's one of the fun things about C41 film - you really need to try hard to blow out the sky.  The highlight latitude is great.

Tri-X : more contrast, deeper blacks, sharper lines.

I'm thinking the same. Just use the TriX and bin the filters.

I scanned one of my B$W negs before I left home using Vuescan and it was like carrots and been bags conspired to what the silverfast gave me.

Plustek contacted me and were pissed off that I sent them a scan done by viewscan and not silver quest I guess I will need to wait until I get home to find out why I am getting this bloody vertical line. I mean if it was offset I could Easley fix it but seeing as it's slap bang in he misdial it's going to end up running down someone's face

sorry for not being clear.  C41 film is any negative film that is orange. (kodak portra, et, fuji pro 400H).   Contrasted with positive "slide" film, which does not have very much highlight latitude at all...

Adam, nice finally meeting up with you. Enjoyed all the discussion, suggestions and views on approach.  Thanks for the pic, well done my friend.   Let's grab Steve and plan some time to shoot

One thing with Tri-X, it has more grain than TMAX.   So....TMAX with a #8 yellow may get you real close, with less grain.  Don't bin the filter thing just yet...I think a #8 yellow for B&W looks real cool under bright light scenarios and scenes, like a beach boardwalk...seems to add a bit of a 3d effect thats pretty cool.   

 

With Vuescan...you can also adjust the tone curve and B&W levels then apply them to the scan.  Pretty easy to do and may get you in a better place before you import to LR.  Go to Image> graph B/W  or Graph image.

Fixer failure - Correct?

000008 by Eoin Christie, on Flickr

Eoin,

Hypothesis small white dots:

-incomplete revelation : developer new or used ?

otherwise filter

-possibility of debris that inhibit the revelation

another hypothesis

-micro bubbles during agitation ?

-not agitated enough (for me 10 seconds every minute)

I'm definitely loving film! lots of rolls, lots of scanning but I've been lazy with going from computer to online.

My next dream is definitely printing myself, for now I'm busy exposing as much film as I can in readiness.
