Yep, I've always used ISO 3 or 6 also.
As always there are lots of wonderful shots in this thread but this is really outstanding I think... obviously a great location (with 'good bones' :) ), but really well composed and executed.
And...
Wouldn't you have a really shallow depth of field shooting at that magnification? Maybe that's what you want...
You could shoot on larger film and crop... or if you're scanning shoot from further...
Here's a very light weight option... barrel TTH Cooke VIIB 133mm f6.5 (at f32), paper negative, 'top hat' exposure. Home made 8x10 box camera.

One of my grandmothers, around 1908 I think. I just love this portrait.
Hi Peter, no, it looks like a paper print, fixed to a cardboard mount. I don't know much about the different types of print made back in those days.

Great idea for a thread.
Two of my great-grandparents (the couple in the back row), with the rest of my great-grandmother's family.
They were married in 1895, so probably when they...
No-one has replied to you, so I'll give it a go...
I'm no expert but the lack of an aperture control makes me think that it is a lens from a magic lantern - an early form of projector in other...
(The 'Compendium' is still on the Cooke Optics website at https://cookeoptics.com/compendium/ but is a shadow of it's former self - it used to have images from the old catalogues, and a far more...
Your 'Thomas Hobson Cooke Series II 15" f/4.5 knuckler' will be a 'Taylor Hobson Cooke Series II 15" f/4.5 knuckler'.

Beautiful set of images. There is nowhere better than the Lake District most of the year round, but especially when the autumn colours match the fells. Looks like you were lucky with the weather!

Thanks, interesting.
Is this a LF version of this lens, or a MF one? It's a great lens on MF (a Hassie 500CM in my case)...
I'm intrigued! :)
Could this be one and a half inch at 36 TPI?
As you are in the EU I'm sure Jose at Custom Photo Tools could help (I have no connection apart from being a happy customer - he has done excellent...
This thread is full of wonderful images but these last two (Bill and Andrew) are particulary fine I think - well done!
Wow, that's lovely. Out of interest, how long does it take you? Presumably you don't colour each individual leaf... :)
That browny-red really reminds me of the autochrome color palette.
Sorry, it's not for sale, I showed the photo as examples of the various types.
Some of the 203mm f7.7 Ektars made here in the UK say 'Mount 370' on the beauty ring. I would imagine that this refers to the filter size.
I have several 'Mount 370' push-on filters and a push-on...
[the above from 2013...]
Is this the same lens re-surfaced in a Flints auction here in the UK? (I've no connection with the lens, or the auction).
Thanks both for the replies and suggestions.
I checked for any hairline cracks but found none. There are plenty of small scratches though around the inside of the lid, I guess capillary action...
Presumably one neg may have an unlucky dust spot (or spots), while the other may not.
Not related to loading film but I used to have a real problem with dust until an old time photographer...
Martin and Phillip - thanks for your kind comments.
Me neither, we inherited it with the house - apparently it can self seed and become a bit invasive in damp conditions but I think we will be okay. The hanging form of it is quite decorative.

I use a secondhand Jobo 3006 drum to develop 5x7 and 5x4, and find it excellent, producing consistently good results.
It does leak ('weep' might be a better description) around the join where the...

Hi Karl, some serial numbers from the Flints sale (UK) today (all are knucklers):
Series IIA f/3.5 15" no. 122495
Series IIE f/4.5 18" no. 208860
Series IIB f/4.5 12¾" no. 211229
Series IIA...
Definitely 'quirky' here in the UK (where things are invariably quirky anyway).
(Or, if you're an old typist, it is QWERTY of course... :)
Gevork, that's beautiful... and Darr - wow! Exceptional.
I have this lens - it is in a Compound #3 (not a Compur) - see the asterisk (*) and note on the data sheet.
I got it to use as a long lens on my Canham woody... (I've not used it yet). These...
That's great, thanks for the details! :)
Wow - great tonal range in this image... Could you give some detail on the Cafenol developer that you used please, dilution and agitation (if any)?
I'm keen to give it a go - Foma often seems just...
These are really great comparisons. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! :)
Great find Mark. If it's too small for you please send it my way - I'll give you 15 bucks for it... :rolleyes:

How annoying it is when a photo doesn't display in the correct orientation... even though it looked fine before it was uploaded.
Why does it happen?...
Surely the physical size of the wide open aperture on the shutter has to be at least the same as the physical size of the disk?
I know that the Imagon 'h' stop measurement is not the same as the...
From the title of the thread I thought you might mean the first shot that avoided all of the potential pitfalls of LF photography, but I get it now...
