    Efke PL100 and Black Madonnas

    I suggest you also take a look at 400TMax. I know that some photographers don't like the look of it, but I just love the smoothness I get with it on my Azo prints. I've made many 8 x 10 negatives...

    The closest thing in terms of tonality to Pan F in a sheet film is 400TMax. Develop it in a gentle, soft working developer like Harvey's (something with glycin in it) and you'll turn all the...

    They're reprints. Therefore, not Bill Brandt prints at all. The silver gelatin prints are more correctly labelled "Robin Bell prints from Bill Brandt negatives".

    Focus shift when stopping down Goerz lenses

    Neither my 12" Dagor nor my 19" Red Dot Artar has ever exhibited any focus shift at any aperture from f/6.3 (Dagor wide open) to f128 (Artar stopped all the way down).

    Why does anyone shoot LF Trannies?

    Not all E-6 films are high contrast. Kodak's EPY, aka Ektachrome 64T has a gentle, low contrast scale which is longer than some black and white films. It responds well to zone system controls.
