    Re: 4x10

    Dedicated doesn’t means designed for it, one of the uses of ‘native’ an adjective. I guess I spent enough time around code. LOL

    4x10

    I remember trying a cut 2X5 with a 4x5 camera.

    Nowadays I’m happy enough with the 4x10 camera.

    Shooting mostly aerial. Probably a pain in the enlarger but it scans beautifully in the drum.

    4x10

    I love the format.

    I wonder how many members are shooting in this format. The idea is to share resources, film, etc.

  6. Re: Schneider Super Symmar 80mm XL status question.

    Interesting. I own one and the glass seems quite clear. The box reads 80-0002 so perhaps there’re more than one version.

    Trying to focus fully open is a pain so I use it at 5.6

    Heidelberg tango drum scanner

    The weight and size of that scanner should be considered. You can transport any Howtek in a Yaris. If I understand correctly that’s not the case of many other scanners. You may have to pay for a...

    Wider dynamic range I agree but I feel E6 registers blues cleaner than C-41, IMHO.

    Re: Color seperation filter used in Drum Scanners

    I must be way drunk (or blind). I can’t remember anything in the c41/ra4 space close to a well developed kodachrome/e-6 when it comes to color accuracy.

    Sure. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the use of the term "sheet film" should be replaced by "material or medium".

    Nice portrait! Very likely a Graflex with a 405 adapter.
    Please ignore the comments about what size is considered LF. After all the images out of a 4x5 holder are also 3.x by 4.x. To me anything...

    Astia did the job as intended, good skin tones and low contrast. But IMHO, E100G was/is a better balanced and overall film.

    Re: Howtek utilities question

    The only part you have to be careful is the junction of the white cable to the connector itself. So always grab the connector to plug and unplug it, never by the cable. Same thing with ground.
