  2. Re: Long Process Lenses for Landscape? 24" RDA? APO-Nikkor 610/9?

    While slightly shorter than 600mm, the 21 1/4" (540mm) Kodak Copying Ektanon is exquisitely sharp and can be had for peanuts. 15-blade aperture for silky smooth bokeh as well.

    Not to spam all of the Durst 1200 threads, but I use a VLS501 that came with a faulty EST power supply. Rather than try to repair, I use a modern switching power supply that's been going strong for...

    I took an Alan Ross workshop at Dallas Center for Photography, and it was fantastic. He mostly does 1-on-1 workshops as far as I know, and I would definitely recommend him.

    I agree with this assessment, and notice it especially with HP5+ and Tri-X in medium format. They appear very sharp compared to 4x5 HP5 on the same sized papers.
