Not in a hurry to get that big. I like 16X20 prints.
but first i am going to play with 2x3 and 5x7, just to get my techniques down. I have this metal holder for 2x3 that can do 12 sheets in a film can.
I am going for simple, at first. Read all of Ken Lee's website last night.

Lot's of very good advice.
Thanks Lee!
OK, start laughing. Here is my first attempt at Kodak CSG. I cut up a big sheet, Jim, and got a lot of 2x3. I shot 4 exposures of the morning coffee grounds. One was all black and blue and 3 were progressively better? This is the best, as scanned and tweaked. Shot with baby Crown Graphic Ektar 101mm. Shutter sounds fast at 1 second, which is what I shot at. f32 to f8. Developed in what I have, Ilfolsol 3, 1/14 for 9 minutes. Wrong developer for too long, I guess. Scanned Epson 4490, Vue-Scan, generic color neg, Mr Ken Lee. Flat on glass, lazy me. Blue tint edges.
The good is no scratches...
5 cents of film.
The bad is everywhere!

I like the contrast in the second one and no scratches? Great. keep it up.
Randy, if you are just starting out testing this film, photograph a better test subject. One that has a range of tones. Shooting a setup indoors is smart as you do eliminate many variables. Good luck and keep trying!
