hi my friends,
i recently started with large format.
after my first pictures i notice lack of sharpness.
watching my negatives with a 4x rodenstock loupe gives me also the assumption that my system is out of focus (acros100 in pyrocat hd manually-rotating development in jobo 3010).
i use a new chamonix 4x5f1 with fresnel lens.
when i look on the groundglas with my magnifier loupe, i always focusing the object.
i think this way should be correct?! or should I focusing the fresnel lens?
can you give me some tipps how can i find out step by step the source of error?
- should it be okay starting checking the groundglas focusing on a newspaper or something like that?
does it frequently occur that groundglasses are out of plane?
- is it possible that a wrong pyrocat development cause lack of sharpness?
- is it possible that my lens is not exactly screwed on the lens-plate?
you see, a lot of questions for a rookie… maybe you can help me finding the error :-)
thx for help,
best michael
