I don't know what is going on with my contrast, it always seems too much.

As I was scanning some still life shots from today I figured out your problem: your film's not old enough.

I came up with that one a couple days ago (no kidding). That, and the fact that no shutter of mine shoots at the same speed ever. Also, Foma is very contrasty. Too bad Efke is gone.

Shades of Sudek in this one. Very nice.

I haven't shot Foma, but Efke used to give me contrast trouble, too. Of course, my Efke stash is starting to show its age, so in a few years it may reach the proper "ripeness" to be of use.

EDIT: I wish my still life set-up was as nice as yours:

I have been looking for a variable height table for shooting still lives - somehow I never thought of adapting a tripod. Very nice. Love your light and composition.

I always like the behind the scene photos showing the set up and such

I've just finished restoring 2 cameras, I tested them last night. This is from a whole plate Poco Long Focus #18, with modified plate holder, 5x7 insert, Agfa Blue X-ray film cut to size and taped to cardboard (I don't have any 5x7 or WP film sheaths).
