I made some test negs with Ilford FP4+ today. I was testing lenses more than the film. I have a Sinar Norma in 5x7 and since I had never used that format I wanted to see what 75mm, 90mm, 150mm, and 350mm looked like (I'm still learning large format photography). I couldn't get 75mm to focus so I only tested 3 lenses. 4 sheets since I'm a complete dumbass and pulled the rear dark slide when I was shooting negative #2 I guess it's good that I at least caught it and only ruined one sheet. Sort of... Other than that everything went well.
I have bag bellows for my F2 (4x5) but not for the Norma. However, I don't think I'll miss the 75mm lens too bad . The 90mm lens is WIDE on the 5x7
Anyway... now that the negs are out of the soup and drying I realize that I don't have a holder for 5x7 negs. All I have are the Epson 4x5 holders that came with the scanner. Any ideas for how to scan a 5x7 neg on an Epson scanner? If anyone wants to ship a drum scanner in like new condition to me for free I'll PM my address to you
