Doc Henry Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share #24381 Posted November 28, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you can stand it, here are yet another two from last week's test roll of Tri-X in my 'new' Hasselblad 500C + Planar 80mm. 1) Old Coach Road Up until the mid-18th Century the road between London and Bath crossed the Marlborough Downs. The is photo shows that stage-coach route where it crosses Manton Down between Marlborough and Chippenham. The copse is aptly named 'The Beeches'. Must have been an uncomfortable and slow journey! 2) Rockley Down viewed from the edge of Rockley village. The village is in a valley bottom before the climb up onto the Downs. Keith very nice black grey and white tone Nice composition Rg Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 Hi Doc Henry, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Doc Henry Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share #24382 Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks, Gary. Oh yes, there is schmootz, it is just well hidden with the camouflage of the bokeh. I am beyond livid as even the replacement rolls that Cinestill gave me when I complained last Spring mostly had schmootz. There is a back story that will come out in due course. In the meantime, I think the camo of the bokeh sufficiently masked the pain and produced a beautiful film rendering. Adam and Gary, both of you speaking of what ? "schmootz" : how to pronounce ? Is it "smooth" like digital pixels ? Henry Edited November 28, 2016 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted November 28, 2016 Share #24386 Posted November 28, 2016 Gary and Henry, I am afraid to say that no one offers any polishing services in France anymore. it is very unfortunate. No one anymore in Brazil either. I have just sent a lens yesterday to Focal Point Inc in Colorado as John Stelten still does cure uncementing, fungus and does polish and apply new coatings. Gary, which Elmar do you have on your 1a? https://www.cameraquest.com/leicaa.htm Cheers, JM, old lens freak. Hi JM, It's an Elmar. 5cm f3.5. My rudimentary understanding was the first few had somewhat more rare lenses, "Elmax", and "Anistigmat" being two that spring to mind. The Elmar is fine, I think the front element is less than pristine, which affords a distinct glow. Having said that, it would be nice if it was better, I'd be tempted to carry the camera a lot more and use it as it simply is very pocket-able. Pic shows what it looks like.

gbealnz Posted November 28, 2016 Share #24387 Posted November 28, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Adam and Gary, both of you speaking of what ? "schmootz" : how to pronounce ? Is it "smooth" like digital pixels ? Henry Henry, "schmootz" is a slang word invented by Adam I believe, I'll give him the credit anyway. A selection of his early Cinestill rolls exhibited a random pattern of yellowy colour like sludge on the negs. It was more noticeable against a uniform sky, his life is a Beach series especially. Some shots it was very pronounced, others quite minimal or non-existent. It was definitely a defect and initial thoughts were development, but more latterly it appears it is film manufacture based. I think? Gary 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Henry, Apparently it's a word derived from the German "Schmutz" (English translation: dirt) and used first in this thread by Adam to indicate the presence of disturbing black smudges or stains on Cinestill photos of his, stains that have a particular disturbing inclination to appear in bright blue skies. No idea how to pronounce it though, Adam should know. Rgds C. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
