I do not know exactly and it is a matter of taste but I prefer the Tmax 400 for portraits. Maybe just because I am used to it. best wishes Marc Welcome, dear visitor!

Stealth3kpl Posted August 3, 2016 Share #19346 Posted August 3, 2016 Looking at Fotoklaus's photos and those of a photographer on the RFF I'm starting to think Tmax400 is my favourite film - and I've never shot any myself Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing some "macro" photography with my swc (i know it sounds oxymoronic but i dont have many other tools here in Israel, and in any case the swc can focus up to 12" and have been working with the dof scale to create a precise range of focus, but wont know it will work until September when i am able to develop the film! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted August 3, 2016 Share #19348 Posted August 3, 2016 Did you take the ground glass back and hood/finder" Adam. By stopping down, (and squinting too, LOL) you "should" be able to see what is in focus and what isn't. I've been waiting for better weather to try this myself, having sourced a C&N ground glass back from that auction site. Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite correct to point out that a greater DOF would have been an advantage. Several factors came into play, including the fact there was some breeze and the flowers were moving, so I needed a faster shutter speed, the lens is a new one to me (it came in the post from KEH this morning), modern Nikon lenses have no useful DOF scale, and, finally, I am always hoping for a 'painterly' mess (no doubt the painter in question being the Great Smearer, Monet) with these kind of photos, and I will a post a couple of examples tomorrow. I wasn't as happy with the colour, as I had a long phone call from the UK while I was actually developing, and I probably didn't pay as much attention as I ought to have done to time and temperature. Superia is a bit like that, prone to giving you surprises at the best of times, but it was about half the price of Portra and I do like using 24 exposure films.

A 100% crop of the scan shows that under the grain the detail is there, you're just not going to get a lot of contrast with a 79 year old lens. 12 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Chris Gary - yes, i did bring my ground glass and prism finder, and that is what i am relying on. I was surprised that at really close range i needed f22 most of the time to get the blossoms (or whatever it was) in the immediate foreground to be covered by the desired (limited) DOF, while still getting a good "painterly mess" for the background. This often necessitated a reasonable slow shutter of 1/30 or even a little slower. And it seemed as though just as i was about to snap the cable release the wind gust came to give me paused. But my instinct is that with a superwise wide angle abd very fine fuji slide film i should still get pretty good sharpness. We shall see... Chris - yes, painterly messes can be ultra-sublime, so in a certain sense the precise dof doesnt matter if you hit the right precise focal point and get the right color scheme in the blurry background. I am not doing your photos justice on my crack iphone but they look really nice. Can you please shoot some fuji velvia 50 with flowers as i would like to know what a top notch professional rendition is supposed to look like? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like this soft style for color , here by Fuji film , not possible in digital except use photo software like Color Effex Thanks for posting Best Henry Edited August 4, 2016 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris I agree with Adam , really superb flowers pictures. Only MF, film and your Hasselblad X1 scanner can have this result Wonderful color. Chris, the volume in Mo must be enormous to store all your pictures. You backups on an external hard drive ?

Doc Henry Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share #19358 Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Always Velvia 50 and another color for Adam Fuji Velvia 50-M7-90ME-MA-Tripod I think aperture 4 -expos speed 1/60 for this picture, almost in the dark, taken just when I have a ray of sunshine (in macro you must be patient , if no blur and sometimes you can have wind as said Chris) . Plant and bee were in the shade. Also no correction Tiff>Jpeg for posting Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I wait a moment for this butterfly Also taken with my M9 but the rendering aspect is different with digital picture type ie too much sharp and color is different . In conclusion, Adam finally you can go with the Velvia 50 , color is stunning and gorgeous , perhaps with a nicer rendering in MF.
