I hadn't noticed any exposure changes with Ilford paper lately, but I'll keep an eye on it now.

Spelling is a bourgeois (had to look that up) concept...
And remember to prey for piece.
I agree with Christopher.
I'll never forget the first time I saw an 8x10 transparency of a food shot on the light table when I started in magazine editorial 18 years ago..
But improvements in...
Might consider a Fuji GX 680 pro, too. Roll film. Lots of movements. Interchangeable bellows. That would be a beastie to lug around, too, but lots of commercial photographers manage it.
Brian,
After having a cup of coffee, I realized you weren't asking about RC papers. Sorry. But my point is the same: you needn't worry about split toning with Ilford multigrade glossy fiber. Watch...
I occasionally print with Ilford RC pearl and get no split toning with selenium, just a nice deepening of the blacks like you get with fiber. You will get some split toning with Ilford warm tone, but...
The Calter 11 5.6 would be more comparable to the Nikkor. I have it and like it; it's essentially a rodenstock lens.
The 6.8 210 is a compact, I think. It has fewer lens elements, 3-3 as opposed...
I've been having this problem, too, and I'm going to give Ronald's plan a try.
One thing I've also noticed is that the marks seem to be worse on the innermost 2 negatives, so I've gone to loading...
Sounds like good plan to me John.
Goes to show that the LL Bean catalog is every bit as important to the photographer as the Calumet catalog.
Nowadays, that blonde would probably run away in horror from a large format photographer who had set up in a park, straight into the arms of a guy with a Canon 1DS Mark II, and they'd drive off into...
I'm with you John,
I just got back from a trip to southwest South Dakota. The weather was almost too beautiful for a black and white guy (nothing but cloudless blue skies), and I could literally...
Scott,
Great place to shoot. I was down there in March, and there's a a lot of low-hanging fruit to be plucked. But, to tell you to the truth, I didn't much like my green filter shots....
Knowing Mr. Feinman's expertise in Photoshop, I can see evidence of unsharp masking, Gaussian blurs, and myriad other manipulations.
These are definitely inkjet prints.
...any man's death diminishes me..."
I gravitated here because I became a 4x5 hobbyist a while ago. And I have to say I enjoy the philosophical discussions, the pondering of imponderables, and the...
Kirk,
Thanks for that report. I work for an architecture/interior design magazine (as an editor) and the work of Hedrich Blessing is very familiar to me, but I haven't kept up to date on what...
Gregory,
Ay, there's the rub...
FWIW, to my eye (which I fully admit may not be as sophisticated as yours or to any experienced contact printer) a 2x or 3x enlarged print from a 4x5/5x7...
Dan,
I think the reason you like Ilford RC so much is because it is the one RC, IMO, that comes closest to the look of fiber. (I'm referring to the pearl surface.) The average person would be...
Scott,
I'm not personally a rabid pyro fan, but just last weekend I saw some lightjet black and white prints in person done by a photographer from San Francisco (Chris Honeysett) that were...
Briot says not everything can be photographed with a 4x5, but he fails to mention that the opposite is true, too. What's he going to do the next time he encounters a dramatic near-far composition and...
I'm just a newcomer to this forum, but folklore has it that he did indeed listen to classical music while printing, and many of his disciples continue this practice.
However, I also have it on...
