  1. Re: This is the most common mistake I make with my 4x5 camera. Am I alone?

    I'm guessing that mistake has more to do with the camera you have. My 4x5 has a pretty positive feel when it seats.

    I like the position of the tree, I like the tones. I don't like the feeling that I'm laying down looking at it. I feel the camera needed to be 3 feet higher.

    I use that same dilution for Fomapan. I find that it's easier to print. If I use 1+31 I spend more time with split contrast trying to get it the way I want.

    Never had a problem developing my Fomapan 100. I'm not a big developer switcher and only use HC110. It's been fine pre rinsing or not pre rinsing.
