Nice portrait! How is your KMV with 360mm lens? I haven't put a long lens on my KMV but i'm planning to get a meniscus lens for portraits. Not sure if 335mm or 500mm would be good especially with the bellows draw..

same details as last post:)
Bazz, what causes the center burning effect?
Agh. this has been a pain and I finally pinned down the cause,I am using a Durst D659 as a light source for the contact printing frame,
I found the centre of the lit area recieves .1or 2 EV more light than the outside perimater.:(
So I changed carriers to the 6x9 size and kept useing the 35mm side of the enlarger the difference now is minute from centre to edge.
I was seeing the bush behind the sitters and felt that it was more pronounced a exposure than what it is, so my poor positioning of the
subjects is a factor as well, i have 3 more to do tomorrow and I will assess them to see If i have it licked:)
I've seen contrast filters do the same effect when not positioned properly under the enlarger...are you using any contrast filters with the images above Bazz8?
Nice images, Bazz. Out of interest, where do you get xray film in Oz? I've previously tried and found that Oz suppliers will only sell to 'trade', and internet sources will not ship to Aust. for some reason. Very frustrating sourcing stuff for photography in this country. Thanks,
