    Schneider Symmar-S 240/5.6

    Thanks for your reaction, Neil. My first impression was based on an expired Polaroid. Now I've got results with Tri-X in HC110. It is sharp enough indeed, but when you come from an APO-Symmar the ...

    Any comments on this lens? The one I got seems to date from the seventies (# 12. ..). I bought it for portrait in the studio a.o., but it seems a bit too soft. A ny experiences with this lens?

    T-max Headed For Trash Can

    If your conclusion is that T-max should be able to produce just as nice pictures as Tri-X, just stop with it. It should at least be different, but rather better for you. T-max is just more...

  6. Does Photoshop replace view camera movements?

    No, not for perspective-control and not even for selective sharpness or DoF. Digitally implemented sharpness after the picture was taken has its limits.

    Another question about contrast control

    Yes, you can, although grade 5 is an amount of magenta which is not delivered by one filter in the color-set (max. 40M). My Kodak color filters range from 5, 10, 20 to 40Y/M, which makes 75Y or M...

    If it's younger than about 1975 I would always take the P because of the stability.

    exposure of dark evergreen trees?

    It seems odd to me that the B&W Polaroid could be used as a reference for the Velvia exposure in this specific context, because of the known cumbersome sensitivity for greens of any B&W film.

    Linhof Technika V: non-cammed lenses

    Michael, you're right because the cam controls the angle of the mirror in the range-finder mechanism, and this has got nothing to do with ground-glass focusing, that's why.

    Suggestion for notching film

    I would use a surgical knife to cut and a perforator to notch. I would put a little iron strip in the perforator so, that the film cannot glide in too far.

    Tim, it is not by accident the cold light that does not work with VC filters and/or Kodak VC paper? I know that the old Aristo did not work with variable contrast, I'm not sure if the new one does.
