Doc Henry Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share #16043 Â Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Oh I was poking fun at your typo "heave"Â . I am not opposed to traveling light, but I would face such a dilemma as well (4x5, 5DmkII, M6, Sigma Faveon, etc.) If I had an S2 that would be even harder to leave home (and would replace the 5D). I think the M6 and the S2 would be a happy compromise. Â Neil and GN ,I like to travel light and M is perfect (less 600 g each) with one or two lens , but a lot rolls of film : in August I'll bring with me 50 rolls of color and b&w.

rpavich Posted May 25, 2016 Share #16044  Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Ok so I've been absent for a few weeks...I've been busy My wife took an interest in a TLR and so I jumped at the chance to get her involved. (she's never really been "into" photography but she does like taking pictures somewhat.)I got her a Yashica 635 figuring that if we failed on the medium format front, she could always just shoot 35mm. (it shoots both)Well...long story short, she loved it and we bought a bunch of Arista Ultra 100 120 film to shoot, and that was so great that I bought an RB67 Pro to mess with. (I love it...what a loveable brick of a camera)I had to upgrade my enlarger to a Beseler 23CII to accomodate the larger negs and since my scanner wouldn't scan MF negatives, I had to figure out some way to scan them. I looked around and found that using a DSLR was cheaper and yielded better quality negs than a flatbed so I bought a used Nikon D90 and manual focus macro 55mm lens.  I already had a light table and I used a broken Omega B22 enlarger as a copy stand; I just took a bit of "L" shaped aluminum stock from work and made a mount for the camera. it works great. I used my laser alignment tool to get it square and I'm very happy with the results.What I have here is just a ONE shot scan (no stitching)...this is going to be my "everyday posting to Facebook" sized scan. I won't do a super stitched scan unless I have a reason.The flower picture is the first shot I took with the Mamiya and the second shot is a test shot to see how the camera would work with a speedlight and triggers.     Edited May 25, 2016 by rpavich 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsgary Posted May 25, 2016 Share #16054  Posted May 25, 2016 So, if it's a gone burger with the 50 - 400 push, is there any sense in going completely off the wall, and trying B&W chemistry?

I was struggling with my eyes, and with f/2.8 x 1/60s - More because of my frame of mind than because of the parameters.
