Thanks jp for the advice and example!
The negative is processed at 16degC in diluted rodinal. The reason is to tame those highlights, especially since all my negs are over exposed by about 2 stops.
So maybe i should start changing the way I do things when ysing this lens. Eventually it will be working just fine....
Guro through a Pinkham and Smith Synthetic 16" @ f/4.5. This time dimmest possible setting on the lights, and exposed normally.
Super glow with good definition and no strong highlights.
Looking thru a new 135mm f:3.2 Wollaston Meniscus…
A 4x5 paper negative, shot at f:3.5 (almost wide open).
The film-to subject distance was about 760mm (30”), the bellows extension was about 160mm.
