Well, I got up my nerve to mix up my 2 Agfa AP44s to fill my Combi-Plan, load some E100G, and try some colour transparencies with my home-made 4x5 camera.
Oh my! I can see where this Large Format stuff really gets its appeal - BOOTIFUL !
I think I used to get brighter, more vivid transparencies with Bessler E-6; I find the AP44 doesn't seem to have the same intensity. Maybe I'll try sending a few out to the pro lab and see if their results are different.
But none the less, 4x5 colour transparencies are sure impressive! It's especially nice to have it all "home grown", including the camera :-)
I guess I'm hooked . . .
