I have made large format circular fisheye images in a slightly different way, attaching a fisheye adapter to a large format lens, 120mm Nikon lens and Nikon fisheye converter fc-e9.
The framing is good, the subject is fine, but the light is boring, feels like mid day on an overcast day. Same spot same angle when the light is soft late or early in the day, or even at a more...
No chemistry for me, one of the reasons I do so much of it, very easy for apartment living. Load and unload in subdued light, no need for any darkroom equipment, and people are always looking to...
I have made many solargraphs in lensed cameras and found solarization/sabatier effect is an issue I had not heard mentioned before. Underexposure is just as common though. I had done a series of 2wk...

Ilford MGIV RC pearl, lately I've been using Arista EDU Ultra semi matte which seems to develop a deeper image quicker for non-pinhole "short exposure" solargraphs and really enjoying the results.

Bit of an oddball, paper negative solargraph self portrait, 2 hour exposure during sunset. Crown Graphic, no name 90/4.5 enlarger lens, Arista Edu Ultra VC RC paper. No development just scan and...
Obviously at some level, it doesn't matter what the end result on image making is, if the fact of the chip bothers you, and the lens is seen as an investment as much as a photographic tool, you...
A longer screw/bolt with a nut and washer is cheap insurance no matter what the lens size and weight.
Starting to go out and about a bit more (masked and distanced, naturally) but have spent a good amount of the past 4 months experimenting with solargraphy in homemade seltzer can pinhole cameras....
