mikemgb Posted November 9, 2016 Share #23581 Posted November 9, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) But 120 (medium format) is tiny compared to 4x5, let alone 8x10 (large format). Jeff OK, stop, I've been looking at large format cameras for more than 30 years and have managed to avoid the temptation so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted November 9, 2016 Share #23582 Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Ground glass viewing is an entirely different experience, and a wonderful way to expand one's compositional skills (seeing the 'image' upside down and reversed). It's a more contemplative experience, and affords the ability to individually control negative exposure and development. And the prints can be delicious with a suitable workflow. One can even contact print 8x10 negs (no enlarger) to maintain rich tonality and detail. Camera movements can also come in handy. Feel better now? In all seriousness, not everyone's cup of tea, but I highly recommend at least one large format adventure.

Fotoklaus Posted November 9, 2016 Share #23585 Posted November 9, 2016 thats frigging amazing mate....... I need to try a few rolls of that Neil, that´s just the cheap Version of Fuji Superia 200, the C200. The Superia has almost the same colours (maybe it´s the same film...)

Bateleur Posted November 9, 2016 Share #23586 Posted November 9, 2016 Same camera, lens, film etc as #23602. PS - at some point I may try to view all the posts I've missed whilst being on my travels - no promises though! Simple and effective, an almost soulful photograph!

I wonder how the same scene would compare when taken with the same film and a modern lens? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EoinC Posted November 9, 2016 Share #23592 Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) ...my first time snorting Ektar and I like it a lot... I knew it - it all starts with smoking a little soft film at a party, and before long you're snorting hard films and can't wait for their next fix...

EoinC Posted November 9, 2016 Share #23593 Posted November 9, 2016 He did that mate Did you have any luck with your scanner? I'm convinced it's a software thing as my scanner started playing up again and all I did was force quit Vuescan open Silver fox and scan three negs. Went back to Vuescan and all was good again. Anyway hopefully you get it fixed soon. Still working on it. We're heading into our 3rd day of intervention via Teamviewer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
