Any body knows where to buy the Ilford Harman paper in 4x5? I cannot find it.

Is it out of stock again already??? They just got new stock at B&H back in December. We had been waiting for six months or more.

Nice work Lucas!

Evan, thank you for your reply, I've been reading up on your research regarding paper negatives and dynamic range. You are far ahead of me, very interesting work thank you!

I've been practising a bit more hands on in the last few days. I did a few portrait sessions with the 18x24 and newly acquired strobe. My calculations above seem to be somewhat accurate, I had no trouble metering skintone @ ISO 12 f11 and putting in at +1. Developed by inspection and scanned the negative:

Thanks to Peter for enduring a 1200 Ws supernova going off in his face

I also went out and took a picture of Aachen Cathedral (the town where I live) and learned that even overcast weather seems to have a higher amount of blue light compared to my indoor strobe test which I found a bit surprising. I overshot exposure and development on the first sheet but was able to dial it back on the second by diluting the dev and stopping development early.

I'm still quite amazed at the resolution I'm getting from the scans and the beaten up Tessar I use. No complaints there =)

Really love the feeling of this one, Animaux. I would love to see a photography of the DIY back for the Sinar too, just as an aside.

Tack så mycket, Jimi! I have a few pictures of building it in a flickr album.

Vielen Dank. Alexander! Sieht sehr gut aus. I have to figure out and build something similar eventually for my Norma.

It’s not really hard if you use the basis of a Norma or F-standard. The only tricky part is to get the distance to the ground glass right. Just E-Mail me if you have any questions.
