One more from yesterday



Same specs

Hi D-Tach,
Can you tell me some more details how you did develop? (Agitation, Developping time; Tray or Tank or etc..) I´d like to use the same film and I alway prefer Xtol....
Nice Photo!

Just testing my equipment since I haven't touched my LF in years, like years and years.
Processed this for eventual Kallitype and Platinum so about 50% more development
Kodak 8x10 Master View
12" Commercial Ektar
About 1/2sec @ f16 (I think, forgot to take notes), sticky ass shutter, sent off to CLA after this shot.
PMK for what seemed like really long 18 minutes
Welding tube processing in the bathroom
Epson v700

good work, good work, Sir

looks more to me to have been wide open rather than f16

A lovely shot. Hopefully your daughter will appreciate this shot even more when she is grown up.

Danke schön Fritz! Developed in Jobo CPA2 (constant agitation), rated at 100, 5min15 developing time at 75F in Xtol 1:1 but the negatives were too contrasty (for my Epson V700 that is). Did some more testing yesterday and reduced development time to 4min30s and they scanned much better. Ofcourse it all depends if you want to scan or print analog. Perhaps I should do some testing with 1:3 dilution to compensate better for the highlights...
