The keeping qualities of Intaglio prints are quiet good I wouldn't hang it directly opposite a window but if you use a Frame with say a Schott Mirogard glass you should be pretty safe. Congrats for...

Not your typical LF Portrait this looks very casual and natural more like a Portrait done with a 35mm camera in the course of a reportage or family outing. Very nice.

Thanks for the info

I think it's interesting how B/W gives the portrayed a certain dignity while Color enhances the caricaturistic effect. Both look good.

Bryan looking forward to seeing the pictures again.

Thanks for the link made me look up the photographer Jakob de Boer. Interestingly he like Nick Brandt started out in the Motion Picture world. I also found it funny that he is a prototype tester for...

Alternatively you can preflash the paper at home under an enlarger and use the enlarger timer or use a dedicated pre flasher like the paperflasher. You can actually also post Flash the paper with...

I consider Joyce Tenneson to be one or at least to be heavily influenced by them, the same applies to Susan Burnstine, I agree with you pure imitation without thought is worthless as art (can still...

Thank you for the info 4% Hypo interesting would have thought that it would be more concentrated along the lines of 15%+. Again thank you

Very nice, I like the image tone it looks almost like a color photograph. Did you use a cyanide or thiosulphate fixer? Anyway very simple and beautiful.

I am sad to see her passing away as I liked her work which was very innovative some 60 years ago. She inspired quiet a few photographers and deserves a place in the photographic hall of fame. Along...

I find it amusing when people say get a Tessar for the softer look, the Tessar was once one of the sharpest lenses in production even today the centersharpness is on par with many planar and plasmat...

The Vario was offered as an Option it is indeed the original shutter you could buy it as a Barrel Lens, mounted in a Vario shutter, in an Ibsor shutter or in a Compur shutter.

If I remember correctly the WW-Aristostigmat is a symmetrical or near symmetrical lens. So you should be able to use them as convertible lenses, try to focus with only the rear group and with only...

The lens at infinity focus would be a distance of around 8cm between the Standards, focussing closer you would have to pull the Standards even further apart. 2cm apart is nearly 4 time infinity.

A friend of mine is a film restorer and often talks about the difference between old cellulose nitrate and modern triacetate/pet films he feels that old film had/has more "depth" and looked better,...

Some of the best film noirs were shot with coated lenses (e.g. A touch of Evil) and even in the era of uncoated lenses the cinematographer would use a compendium or some other form of lens shade to...

Let's call it controlled and not artificial. :) Francois Truffaut made a cinematic tribute to artificial nights "La nuit americaine". It's also interesting to note that at the height of the Studio...

Processing was done in Kodak D96 or something similar the closest still film developer that is still made is Kodak D76. You don't have to push the film you can blow out detail with artificial light....

Cowanw is correct. As a sidenote Voigtländer made a less known process lens which was a variant of the Heliar known as the Oxyn the front was from the Heliar and the back from the Dynar. The Heliar...

Very nice photograph.

Thanks interesting work. I have to admit I don't get the Swastikas and SS insignias especially when worn by people who would have been considered subhumans by the Nazis and their ilks. Still some...

Sorry should have read the original post more thoroughly

Ever heard of home processing. Color processing is not really more difficult than B/W processing and the chemicals are cheaper. Give it a try or you better you should have given it a try.

I hope your remark on college kids was tongue in cheek because I would say that many college students do have real world problems looking at the cost of tuition fees in the US and the UK which can...

Even uncoated it should be a better than decent lens.

It looks more like forties as the lens appears to be single coated (bluish sheen)I could be wrong though. Symmar both older and new are good lenses. The new ones are of plasmat design they are also...

Stone Foma reciprocity characteristics are not up to modern films but the data sheet does exaggerate quiet a bit.
Those extreme reciprocity characteristics can also be put to good use sometimes one...

There are several possibilities to achieve the effect you want. Really closing down the lens way past the optimum f-stop, using an ultra lf lens and cropping in post/printing stage and another one...
