Eoin I like much this picture for the concentration and the seriousness of our photographer

Well captured attitude Eoin. Very nice b&w with beautiful  grain

Thanks for posting

Kowa is a 6x6 MF ?

Best

Henry

Thanks, Henry. Yes, the Kowa is a 6x6. It has a nice 85mm f/2.8 lens (lenses are Kowa's core business), and is similar to a V-series Hasselblad, except that it does not have a separate film magazine. This one I bought in 1983 for AUD $200, if i recall correctly. It has spent the last 20 years in a cupboard.

The yellow here is really nice.

I forget to tell Adam that I lived a long time in South Mediterranean coast and

cactus is one of my favorite plant . I often visit this place when I was student

Here is another side by side comparison of a cactus photo with two different films - interesting how the films impact the reds

 

First is Velvia 50

Yeah, more "pop" with Velvia, but then again, you'd sort of expect that perhaps?

Could the saturation not be turned up a tad also on the Portra shot, making them similar? Just asking.

Gary

 

You might think I might be able to equalize the renditions, but the Portra 160 is just natively so much warmer than the velvia 50 such that it was like fitting a round peg through a square hole; so I stopped trying... :)

Adam thanks again for your nice cactus pictures

I think it has a little difference between Velvia and Portra for yellow green and specially red.

Both have nice color more vivid for red in V. but a little more defined for Portra (look at the edge

of the "fruit") or may be it comes from the scan (same scanner?) , I don't think so ?

Hasselblad X-Pan with TMax400

 

Don't take this as a criticism please, but is that the same "agitation issue" you had with the Minilux recently JB?

Have you tried any other processing since the "solutions" put forward after your post?

Gary

 

P.S, it's still a wonderful albeit busy shot, I like it, it made me look closely to see what was what.

A bit more forestry of sorts.

criticism very welcome! this actually came from the same batch i developed that day - one of those days where I was developing watching TV. Yeah it came with the same issue as the Minilux...so gutted!

Hasselblad X-Pan with TMax400

I quite like the picture. The central position of the child, the movement towards the camera and the position of the arms immediately made me think of Nick Ut's picture of the Viatnamese girl. Luckily this picture is taken in happier circumstances. The Umbrella in the foreground and the spaced ones moving towards the horizon add some nice depth.

Thanks, Henry.  Same scanner, very different film stocks, what more can I say?

 

Here is another with Velvia 50...
