Photos made with Kodak 2D... post'em!

Stunning. The 12-21-28 is one of my favorite lenses on my 2-D (240mm Dagor is the other). I never would have expected such a fine image from a single element of that lens. Dan

Thanks. I was nicely surprised, too. I had a light orange filter taped onto the front of the shutter which might have helped with the sharpness. On Acros, f64 at 2 seconds. F64 to honor AA, of course, what other f/stop can one use in Yosemite Valley! LOL!-- and I figured I could more accurately do a two second exposure than trust the old shutter at slower speeds. Mid-April 2007, so not exactly a recent image! A photograph of me making this image made it to the front page of the Fresno Bee. I got lucky and correctly predicted to the reporter that the Falls were peaking about then -- a low-snow year.

I have a Zone VI 8x10, but the without a top hat, the 28" element taxes the Zone VI -- the front and back standards are on the last teeth at infinity. The 2D gives me a couple more inches of extension.

I think the image is the scanned negative -- tonalities are a little off in the foreground. It makes a very nice platinum/palladium print.

(Well done re-enactment image!)

Here is my first shot with my newly acquired 2-D... it seems like either I didnt seat the filmholder or the film holder has a light leak... also my first attempt at tube development , (my 5x4 stuff is not big enough haha!) so some chemical stuff happening on the right hand side....
Scan of neg, no time for printing at the moment... fujinon 250 f6.3

and here is my second shot, this time with the fujinon 360 f6.3 shot into the sun....

The light leak can occur if you don't hold the camera back shut, while removing and replacing the dark slide.

The bigger and heavier the film holder, the greater the leverage, and the more easily it can move away from the back.

Hold the back against the film holder with the left hand, while handling the dark slide with the right hand.

Thanks for the tip... Different beast to 5x4 that is for sure! Loving it so far though!

This is not the best print I made as was stuck with number 4 filter after misplacing box.
Most other prints to contrastive this one a bit light.
But still, one of my first shoots where I had mostly good negs and a few good shots.
Dev in jobo.
