fotomas Posted June 21, 2017 Share #34921 Posted June 21, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I could be wrong, but, when I ordered my latest batch of Fuji Natura 1600, seller, Japanese, commented that the film would no longer be available in the popular three pack. He did not say anything about the film being discontinued. Got the information from here (in german) http://www.photoscala.de/2017/05/30/fujifilm-stellt-produktion-weitere-filme-ein/. Funny (or sad) that now Maco offers it. In the past they only had the Superia. But it's not available due to the Maco side. Tried to order some but it was denied.

Pete.C Posted June 21, 2017 Share #34922 Posted June 21, 2017 Okay So first of all the light leaks look like they are self inflicted ................when I put a film holder in the back of the camera and close the locking leaver it will leave about a 16th of an inch gap, with just a small press on the back of the camera it snaps into place with and obvious CLICK............I guess I have been over protective of the camera and didn't want to force anything..........so there you have it, it looks like Williams F@clked up again. Next I took a couple of pictures today of a flower arrangement that I prepared myself this morning. There is one shot wide open, there is one shot at F45 and another shot with the Leica S.................my question is which one looks the best, and why A/. Neil's-Photography165.jpg B/. L1000234.jpg C/. Neil's-Photography166.jpg Neil, I like No.3 the best, followed by No.2 (The Leica S?), 3 has softer, graduated tones, 2 is brighter, with more shadow detail, but not as pleasing to look at.

gsgary Posted June 21, 2017 Share #34924 Posted June 21, 2017 On another subject, but pertaining to correct exposure: I spent a few hours looking at "400 Photographs, Ansel Adams" on Father's Day (U.S.). I do not know why, but for some reason, I had never really appreciated the brilliance of the man's photographs as I did when I reviewed them this time. I am not sure if having taken so many B&W photographs myself, I now have a better reference to fully appreciate the magnitude of the man's talent, or, if it is something else. At any rate, this time around, it hit me in the face........like a brick. The book does not give information on equipment used for specific photographs, but it is my understanding he did virtually all of his work with large format and Hasselblad, MF gear. I am curious, and ask those more knowledgeable than myself: framing aside, is the brilliance of the man's work more an attribute of exposure?, or, format? Is the same gravity of result possible with 135 film? Please excuse such a novice question, but I was floored. I have never, personally, viewed an actual Adams print. I suppose the experience would be even more dramatic. I am now going to make it a point to see one. I guess another factor to be considered, the photos printed in the book, although reproductions, presented no digital, interpretive barrier between the viewer and the original photographs. I've just bought Steve McCurry, The Iconic Photographs and been totally blown away by the colours in his shots I have never seen a digital image to match the colours, I think they are all Kodachrome 35mm, All I know is when I scan a 6x9 negative if I want I can be more severe in Photoshop so large format could make a big difference in the right hands Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackandwhite Posted June 21, 2017 Share #34931 Posted June 21, 2017 Jean-Marie , beautful picture Film Ilford ? Thank you Henry If I remember well, this was Tri-X, but stand develloped in Tetenal Paranol S in a 1:100 dilution for one hour and 15 minutes, Henry. I'm a bit upside down with work and in the evening and on rare moments of "freedom" testing this and that so I do not always remember what film I used . For a couple of days now I write down everything - so that I can learn from good moments aswell as from mistakes. I did use some old ( 20 years old...out of the fridge) Ilford and Kodak films recently, so You might be right. I am concentrated on the cams I use - Rolleiflex, Yashicaflex ( also a terrific lens in my eyes, though I had to clean it a bit ) , my dad's Voigtländer and the Leica of course. I am trying to find out what camera / lens / format fits best to my ideas. So most of the time I stick to the Kodak Tri-X, not to get too confused. But I happen to use the older films when test-shooting a "new" cam friends give to me. In case they would not work fine. Mostly they do - even after decades. I'll try to be more rational. It won't be easy, as I still do not know whether I prefer stand devellopment or short time devellopment , Paranol ( softer) or Kodak jelly 1:63 ( more "hardcore") . I'll do my best to take notes in the future. Jean-Marie Here's a Tri-X 400 pic in HC110 in a 1:63 dillution, Voigtländer Bessa from 1948. It is a scan of the film, I shot it 2 days ago and my wife scanned the negatives. Welcome, dear visitor!

Neil, It also helps to remember the film holders can only be inserted under the ground glass correctly from one side. The ridge that runs across the film holder has a corresponding groove on the back of the camera that it must sit in. If you lift the bail (the metal locking lever) and feel under the ground glass on the camera back you will identify the groove, and that's the side you must insert the film holders from. Before I figured that out I had some light leaks with both my Chamonix 4x5 and 10x8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I figured that out I had some light leaks with both my Chamonix 4x5 and 10x8 Thanks a lot for that Chris. By luck I've been putting in correctly but just not fully seating it..... I've got that bit now. On another note I've now experienced whether you get full coverage with certain movements. yesterday I had quite a lot of bellows extension and that with a lot of tilt the bottom of my picture was missing Thanks again Neil 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
