Also, if you're using longer focal lengths make sure you calculate for bellows extension.

I think your water is too alkaline, make sure you're using distilled water to mix with your chemistry and do the first and second rinse if your tap water is too basic.

As mentioned above, get the Enfuse plugin for Lightroom. It is the only high-dynamic-range software of any kind that gives natural looking results in my experience.

Any plans for an android version?

Nooooooo not E100G :(

An old picture, someone let me know if this is better suited to a different thread :)

I have the older version with the amber coatings.

My local lab charges $10 a sheet for B&W 4x5. They do not develop colour, they are the only lab within 2000km that does 4x5.
So I dev my own :p

A loud alarm and willpower... often insufficient!

Maybe the wall is not straight.

WA, that one in particular is a beach called Burns Beach :)

I can imagine nothing worse... :( *bro-hug*

Here is a crop from a 2400 dpi scan resampled to 745 dpi :) this is 4x5 and Kodak E100G, using my Nikkor-SW 75/4.5.

Thanks Tim, appreciate your insight. I imagine the torque on 8*10 would be substantially larger as you pointed out.

What's wrong with 8x10 on a light tripod with a ballhead? :p I took this with my 4x5 on a gitzo 1541T (tiny tripod) and a fotoclam ballhead (also tiny). Sorry for the rather boring photo. I am kind...

Nevermind I found my answer in a thread on the 2523 tank :p

For anyone looking around, the instructions with the processing kit should tell you how long to process a single sheet on fresh...

Hi guys,

I'm about to have a crack at developing my own film, for the first time in 11 years!
It will also be my absolute first time using the Jobo CPE2+... and I have a question.

I intend to...

Someone should tag this thread Not Safe For Work! :p

Is this deliberately stereoscopic Jay? If I go cross-eyed and sit far enough back it's quite 3D :)

Fantastic image, expertly executed Craig :)

8 seconds Craig!? Steady model? Daguerrotype 'clamps'?
Here is a shot on Fuji FP-3000B on my Ebony 45S. Nice to actually see something out of my new camera :)
Well scratched (and previously with...

Michael, I'm a sucker for ruins, there aren't any interesting ones in Australia :(

Zaitz, I am a fan, great stuff!

Here are a couple of my personal favourites.

You have to cover the back before making the exposure? My ground glass cover certainly isn't light tight...

For delta 100:
y = 1.953x + 0.1064x^2
Where x is metered exposure and y is corrected exposure.

Old Provia RDP-II has worse reciprocity characteristics and colour shift than Provia 100F. Fuji recommend 1/2 stop at 32s and a full stop at 2min with RDPII... Whereas 100F has essentially no...

Most information seems to specify that Kodak E100G doesn't suffer noticeable reciprocity failure even at 10 minutes so I won't bother plotting that one.
Portra 400 has scarce information but being a...

Kodak Ektar 100 fits a very nice curve, from the only available test for reciprocity I was able to find. This is unfiltered of course.

y = 0.759x + 0.555x^1.3

Here is an approximation for unfiltered non-colour-corrected velvia.

y = -0.9718 + 1.088x^1.1
Sure makes Velvia 50's reciprocity failure not seem as severe as before!

It's not as neat because...

Provia 100F is a very stable film, so testing is a little tricky. From all the measured data I've been able to find, the best fit for it's reciprocity characteristics is as follows:
y = 0.9727x +...

An almost perfect fit for the reciprocity failure of Ilford black & white films (they provide the same graph for every film) is the equation:
y = 1.953x + 0.1064x^2
Where x is the metered exposure...

I should add that is for Velvia 50.

Brian, based on experimental evidence acquired by another photographer my father plotted and derived the following formula.

Thanks Carsten :) I'm really excited to try it out!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread!
I just bought a 135/3.5 first version for $195 and had to share somewhere.

All valid points. I would have purchased locally but there is no longer an Ebony dealer in Australia. When I asked Jeff I provided every opportunity to refuse.

Thankfully Jeff has come through...

Just a word of warning to anyone thinking of importing into Australia from Badger Graphic, although Jeff agreed to keep the customs declaration down to under $900 (I'm aware this is against their...
