It's amazing how many posts there are to my original post on X-ray film, these many years ago. This is quite a popular topic!
Wow, 69 pages devoted to the topic I started. I'm amazed!!
Uh, Nikons NEW full-frame DSLR, newer than the one mentioned above, is 36 mpx. So pixel density is higher. The Nikon mentioned above is the Sports version which has ability to shoot more frames in...
A Sinaron DB lens, does not have a shutter.
There WAS an Ilex "clone" of the Super-Angulon, it could be cheap.
I have used my 90mm Super Angulon on 5x7. There IS falloff, however you can in b/w dodge and burn your print (or scan) of the negative and be OK. Perhaps not on all subject material, but as long as...
Finally, I have a digital capture system that I can appreciate. I have to provide digital as part of my studio product photography business. I recently purchased a Hasselblad V series 39 mp back,...
Hey now, there ARE more of us. I too use Instant film to proof for final shooting on Transparency film, although I use 4x5 Provia, not E100G. I use maybe 50 sheets of Instant film a month.
I continue to shoot and process 4x5 transparency film photos of products for one of my clients. Have had 2 jobs in 2012. About 40 sheets consumed this year so far.
Nope, that doesn't work either, as the fat end of the film holder bumps into the outside of the rear frame of the camera and doesn't allow seating. This is regardless of whether you use the ground...
Has anybody experienced this. I have 2 Sinar studio cameras, a P-expert, and a newer F model. The P-145 instant-film back (for the smaller pack films) will not slide all the way in, because the fat...
Well, the demise of Polaroid as a film-maker certainly put a crimp in certain important types of photography, and this demise was partially due to corporate manipulation, not complete lack of demand...
The specific camera you are referencing in your link is missing the sliding tripod block, so there is no way to mount it on a tripod in a balanced manner. It also appears to be missing the rear...
There "used" to be a few mid-price flatbed film-capable scanners that were a step-up from the Epson, but alas with the contracting film market, they went away. With that said, scanning is an "art"...
A blue filter will help give you the same spectral results of Wetplate, which can assist you in getting a vintage look....or use Blue Sensitive X-ray film.
You could still get the films you wish as long has you have the money to fund a special order. Trouble is, most stores and vendors won't gamble on that big an order.
Well, all technical considerations aside, well-loved films that are no longer available in sheet film, but "old school" in make-up would be such films as DoubleX, PlusX, PanatomicX. perhaps soon to...
Uh, thats not the same film.
Kodak films, both roll and sheet are in hermetically sealed foil laminate packaging, inside the boxes. These are waterproof to such things as the moisture from defrosting. You should be just fine.
I "think" you can get independent scanner software "VUESCAN" for just about any scanner to run with any operating system. http://www.hamrick.com/
You didn't say if your saved file was a jpg or a tiff? If it is a tiff, In photoshop, after opening the image you can "save as" a jpg, and get a considerably smaller file size with no loss of...
Offset plate materials should be readily available, as offset printing is still widely used. You need to search for a "graphic arts supplies" vendor. The materials are not very expensive.
Ansel was a commercial photographer too. He shot photos on assignment for money. He used what the client required.
Ansel was a spokes-photographer for Polaroid at one time. Possibly he got paid for it.
For a digital capture system that most closely compares to film capture in large format, the solution (within its limits) is the Betterlight Scanning Back. I have one. It is laptop computer...
I have found-with other brands of digital cameras-not just Nikon, that even at identical ISO settings to film cameras,they DO NOT equal. Digital sensors do not have the same type of curves that film...
You have not given us enough information to deduce the information you want.
When that happens, IF Fuji still makes C-41 and E-6 emulsions, I expect to see their presence in the USA grow stronger. I think Fuji has intentionally kept some products away from North America due...
Oh there are lots of people here that shoot 8x10 (and larger) but we sure can't afford to at the prices Kodak now charges for 8x10 film stocks, therefore we purchase other brands.
There are several mirrors in a Microtek scanner between the lens (or lenses) and the scanned material, a fleck of dirt on one of these can cause this, as well as a piece of dirt on one of the long...
Pre-soak does no harm.
Well, I don't think anyone is saying 4x5 film is going away, and in fact this thread is specifically about the 4x5 (size) instant "polaroid type" films made by Fuji, not darkroom processing film.
I think you should continue to use the Ilford films. They are widely distributed and most labs have long experience with them.
You know, if Kodak has master rolls of film coated on the thicker base required for sheet film and they still offer it in 4x5, then its only a matter of cutting and packaging it in other sizes. I...
You should use, at the least, a medium-format digital back.
For years now I have been using the Fuji FP100C45 in the appropriate Polaroid brand film pack back for testing in my studio.
I understand that one can also use the smaller FP100c film for this...
A SLR VIEWFINDER would (in general) go in and out of focus with the lens,as you are using the lens to image the view. A rangefinder viewfinder is totally separate from the taking lens and is only...
Didn't Kodak sell its X-ray film business a few years ago? If so, then they just contract out for it. Like they do for "Kodak" branded chemistry.
That is a material for use in a laser-printer for making final images from digital x-ray photography, not light sensitive. You could say it is akin to printer paper, but transparent.
There is a learning curve to get good scans, just as there is a learning curve to get good negatives.
