Yeah I'm tank developing 6 sheets at a time, so I can't really zone system properly. I'm usually just trying to hit somewhere in the middle to preserve detail in both highlights and shadows, then...

Thanks, Stone. I've already decided to pare down the kit... Next time there will be no dark cloth (I have a t-shirt), two fewer lenses, half the film holders, and I'm considering ditching the light...

Hiked a 70 pound pack 1100' down into Linville Gorge for this... made 6 exposures and this is the only one I felt was worth keeping. Maybe I'll have a higher hit rate next time, if I can talk my legs...

Good advice. I'll try the rodinal 1:200 first, and maybe pull one neg at 30 mins and leave one for an hour to see what happens.

Any idea of a ballpark for reciprocity failure on this stuff?

Yeah I'm using the new stuff. I still wonder how I managed to get completely overexposed negs at ISO 6. Maybe I made a mistake and had it a stop or so over at exposure, and then managed to...

Yes that little lens does a fine job for what it is... it also has heavy cleaning marks and some fungus (which has been cleaned, but left etching) and it still has great flare control, fine contrast,...

Look along the right edge of the image. I have to rotate the whole body on my speed graphic to shoot in portrait orientation.

Thanks for the advice - that's what I bought it for, just to have fun with it.

After I posted this I had the idea to do a "strip test" with it by sliding the dark slide out a little bit between...

dev was Rodinal 1:100 semi-stand @ about 16C. I know it's possible to get some mid tones (but still a high-contrast image) from this film using different devs, but this is the first time I've failed...

I read (here I think) that this film is around ISO 6. I tried exposing a couple sheets of it metered for ISO 6. One sheet I shot at metered speed, and the other I fudged a factor onto it to guess at...

I need to put a sticker on the lens cap of my 90mm that says "DROP BED"

Perhaps I'll go do that and re-shoot this another day :(

I picked up a copy of the Stoebel book (1986 revision - what could possibly have changed?) for $5 shipped from half.com.

I was wondering if this may be the right place... I'll keep it in mind for next time.

Yes I read of that same problem. I didn't completely round the rail clamps on mine - just took off the corners. It almost feels like it has a little dedent on either side of center, so it's pretty...

I'll give you a hint: I did. :)

So now thanks to some very sloppy dremel work I have forward and backward front standard tilt, as well as swing. I did have the good sense to make the modifications...
