  1. One year between exposure and E6 development,push?

    Processing one or two sheets at time and taking the best guess for the rest is probably the way to go. I can't speak to RVP and RDP, but I had one sheet of RAPII which got stuck waiting for about six...

    Greater than 1 Second shutter speeds

    Most digital light meters have a programmable exposure timer. I've used my Gossen Digisix from 5 seconds up to 8 minutes since I don't generally carry a watch (the Digisix has a clock as well).

    Is this a problem or is it still possible?

    What is the most movement youve ever used?

    Unlike most posters, I regularly hit the limits of coverage on all my lenses
    (image circles of 216 to 336mm) and have been known to use a 6x7 reducing back to get more movement than is available...
  5. Forstner drill bits for drilling lensboards? A tour d' forstner or just another boring story?

    Just a small observation that you don't absolutely have to use a backing board. Drill partially in on one side, flip the piece over and drill the rest of the way from the other side (same idea as...

    OT: Custom cut metal frames

    Alternatively, buy a mitre saw, a good blade, and uncut 10 foot lengths of moulding. You usually save upwards of $4/foot on the frame, so the saw pays for itself pretty fast.
  7. Lambda printing/ What magnification possible?

    Based on my experience with optical type R and a Tango/Lambda print process, I'd agree with your lab's numbers. Wether or not your particular lab has the know how to pull it off is a question I...
  8. which is finer grained: the best B&W film, or the best transparency film?

    Are you guys certain that Tech Pan is finer-grained than any of the transparency films such as Profia [sic] 100F?





    You mean Astia 100F, not Provia 100F. Right? Shrug. I've never shot...

    Agfa RSX II definitely gone

    What about Astia 100F? Could it be an adequate substitute?





    I've switched to Astia 100F since I ran out of RSX II last spring and was unable to find any more RSX. Astia 100F behaves very...

  15. diaphragm opening of 90mm f/8.0 Super Angulon at f/8

    I just picked up a used 90mm f/8.0 Super Angulon in Copal 0 (11,553,361, made in 1971, not multicoated, Copal S type shutter). It's in great shape overall, but the diaphragm impinges just slightly...

    coverage of Fujinon 150mm f/5.6 W?

    Eugene -- I managed to snag the near-mint 240 A in Copal 0 I was after for well under half of Midwest's asking price. I may ask them to keep an eye out for a 90 NSW, though. =)

    I've an opportunity to purchase an immaculate Fujinon 150mm f/5.6 W at a fair pr ice. Oddly enough, Michael Gudzinowicz's lens specs lists this lens's coverage as 245mm. The follow on 150mm f/5.6...

    Chris Jordan, use of filters??

    Every so often, being a geek comes in handy. I'm going to have to dig into this some more.

    Chris,

    If you can see the glow, it isn't UV unless you're aphakic or have some other unsual eye condition. Retinal linked to rhodopsin responds out into UV-A (315-400nm), but the cones (just...
